They’re super easy to install (most just require you to download the files and drop them into the game directory) and can completely alter the look of the game in big ways.
There are a ton of shader mods available for The Witcher 3. However, it’s worth installing to see if it makes a big difference for your experience – the loss of frames is slight, and it couples really nicely with reshade and lighting mods. To be honest, if you’re playing at high resolutions like 4K, this mod isn’t totally revolutionary as so many of the game’s materials like wood, stone, and the like all look brilliant. This Witcher 3 mod, HD Reworked Project, is a complete overhaul of the textures in the game, giving it much sharper and defined appearance. If you bought the game from Good Old Games, search for ‘GOG Games’ on your hard drive to find the directory.
If you have the game on Steam, this is likely to be found at:Ĭ:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\Common\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Generally though, you’ll need to unpack the mod’s files into the Mod folder in your Witcher 3 directory. Where you need to put files can change from mod to mod, so read the instructions carefully.
The Witcher 3 mods can be a little fiddly, so it’s imperative that you follow the install instructions that come with each mod.
