More Shadows
The Witcher 3 has great graphics and lighting but for optimization sake, developers did not add shadows to every light source. This mod adds shadows to every light source you can imagine: torches on walls, torches that guards carry, large braziers in cities, candles, lamps and also tweaks shadow fade and autohide distances for all adjusted light sources.

More Blood
The Witcher 3 is an adult game from every perspective: brutal combat, grown-up characters and adult themes in its characters’ relationships. What it lacks is more blood. If you like gore like me in your melee combat, More Blood adds different blood trails for different enemy types and now Geralt can be covered in blood. Like the creator of this mod says it, “Tarantino Directors Cut”. Combine this with mod below, and you are in for a more cinematic combat.

HD Reworked
This mod reworks the textures and models to higher resolutions and brightness. It improves a lot of environmental textures like stones, rocks, bricks, roofs, walls etc. and adds new reflections and effects on water. It does not change the art style but even though it is optimized well to not cause any unnecessary VRAM losses, it can still add quite a bit of extra load on your computer so be sure that you have a strong PC.

The Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition
This is one of the biggest mods for this game. It completely reforms the combat in many areas with the aim of increasing realism and immersion while not ruining the fun. It removes auto-targeting, so you can attack your enemies from all angles and Gerald attacks where you point him to. Dodging does not make you invulnerable anymore, there are 2 new attacks, being the kick and a new heavy attack, you can jump in combat etc. You can check the full list on the mod page below. It is perfect for a new playthrough.

Ghost Mode
This overhaul mod changes and rebalances a lot of stuff without taking away from the vanilla experience. The list is extremely long so you can check it on the mod page but some of the important changes are: quests levels and rewards are reworked, a lot of textual inconsistencies and typos are fixed, new damage formula and combat changes, reworked economy and ranged combat, difficulties are reworked etc. You can use it with an existing save file but it changes so much that it deserves its own playthrough.

FCR3
Developed by a senior gameplay designer at CD Projekt Red, this mod doesn’t aim for any deep and intrusive changes like Ghost Mode or Enhanced Edition, instead, it is meant to maintain original feeling of the game, sometimes going closer to the original intention behind the designs. It focuses mainly on fixing immersion breakers, buffing underperforming skills and items, cosmetic changes and bug fixing. It rebalances some stuff and makes the world more dangerous. If you want small changes that won’t change your gameplay but will improve your experience, FCR3 is your mod.

Increased Draw Distance
Another mod that describes what it does on its name perfectly. This mod increases your draw distance (duh). Since the world is huge and sometimes you can find yourself in wide open areas, the default maximum draw distance can seem a little bit underwhelming. Of course, this was done to optimize the game better, but if you have a monster PC, you can install this mod to see a lot more details in the faraway lands.

Realistic Weather
This mod changes the way different weather conditions look like and adds extra weathers to all of the regions. It adds more snow weather to Skellige, adds foggy weathers to every region of the game, changes the way rain and storm look like and some other minor tweaks. It requires Blood and Wine expansion to work, but if you do not have that awesome DLC already, you should go and buy it before even attempting to mod the vanilla game.

Fantasy Graphics
This is one of my personal mods; it doesn’t change a lot but it certainly adds a new layer of atmosphere by small tweaks. It rebalances the colors and removes the blue tint from the game and saturates most colors. Bloom effects are more expressive and interior lighting is better. All of these combine to create a more fantasy-like look which suits the game better in my opinion.
