The third Witcher may be less than six months old, and the Official Mod Kit was released just recently, but the members of the gaming community have been very busy working on new, homemade improvements ever since the game’s launch. However, while the CDPR systematically enhances their already ridiculously rich game with new patches, the fans – eager to keep The Wild Hunt alivefor as long as humanly possible – are never content with the amount. And so they were, are, and will keep making user content for the game; the list of available original mods has already topped 500 items.
We’ve picked for you the best among them – those that change The Witcher’s visuals, mechanics or add smaller, but crucial, and often very welcome changes. All of the mods in this selection are compatible with the latest version of the game (1.08.4), and since most of them are being constantly improved, future compatibility problems, stemming from official updates, are rather unlikely.
Modding The Witcher 3
The Witcher 3 supports the content available on Nexus Mods website. This means, you can download the mods using the Nexus Mod Manager software (later on referred to as NMM).
NMM allows you to automatically enable the mods (in case of The Witcher 3 this means unpacking them and placing in the Mods folder, located in the game’s main directory). Unfortunately, that’s as far as the automatic will take you – any additional steps necessary to ensure the proper working of some of the mods (like overwriting files outside the Mods folder) can be found in instructions under the individual mod’s description.
Using the Nexus Mod Manager
1) Download and run the Nexus Mod Manager software.
2) Wait until it finishes scanning your drive for games or cancel the scan and choose the game manually.
3) Select the modification in the Mods tab (the mod itself may be placed in an automatically generated subfolder) and click the blue puzzle icon with a green arrow (second one from the top) – this will enable the mod in the game.
ATTENTION: To download files from Nexus Mods you need to have an account there.
Steam Achievements - DLC: The Reaper's DueThis title has a total of 12 Steam Achievements. Console CommandsPress to bring up the console in order to use these. Meet the specified conditions, where applicable, to receive the Achievement.
The Witcher 3 doesn’t support the .esp files, used in Skyrim for example, consequently some of the mods need to be installed manually. Manual procedures are described in detail in the “How to install” section of individual mods.
How to use the Script Merger?
Script Merger is a piece of software that can check the compatibility between various Witcher mods and ensure it, if need be.
If a particular mod requires you to use the Script Merger, you will find an appropriate note in the “How to install” section. However, you should also remember that Script Merger can come in handy in case any other mod not listed in this selection causes compatibility issues – it could save you a lot of time.
Because the interface and usage of this software can cause some problems, we’ve prepared a short user guide for you.
- Download the program here (choose download manually)
- Enable all the relevant mods using the NMM and run the Script Merger, then select the game’s installation folder.
- Click Refresh. If the application finds a compatibility issue, it will appear in the Conflicts field (see the screenshot below). Otherwise you will be informed that there were no conflicts and you can enjoy the game.
- Select the incompatible mods and click the Try to Merge Selected Script button, located below.
- If it is possible to resolve all of the conflicts automatically, the application will do it for you, and the mods will be moved to Merged Scripts field. Otherwise, the KDiff3 software window will appear, informing you which issues couldn’t be resolved. Click OK.
- To resolve the remaining issues click <Merge Conflicts> and select all the red columns that signify incompatibility – you can do this by choosing the appropriate letters (A/B/C) from the menu above (next steps are shown on the screenshot below)
- As a result, instead of <Merge Conflicts> you will see lines of code, and the program will enable you to save the file (see the screenshot below).
- After saving the file, you can close the application. Script Merger will then display information about having created backups of modified files and report that no conflicts were found.
- If you would like to remove a mod merged by Script Merger, rememberto click the Unmerge Selected Script button. Otherwise, the mod (even after being disabled in NMM) will remain in your Mods folder and will have to be deleted manually with the whole subfolder.
Horse Riding in First Person – FPP on horseback
If car is a vehicle, then so is Roach. Vehicles in racing games always have a driver’s seat view. Roach, on the other hand, lacks a saddle view. Until you install this mod, that is. Horse Riding in First Personallows you to feel the wind in your face and admire the vast landscapes from the eyes of the White Wolf, while cantering through the world. During combat, the view automatically returns to the third person perspective. Travelling the world has never been so immersive before.

Disable videos – turning off the intro and the storybook videos
Dandelion accompanies Geralt on every occasion, reporting Geralt’s actions to the player when you launch the game, save the game or travel across distant locations. He’s a nice guy, but honestly, hearing the same things for the hundredth time teaches something about the timeless value of silence. The Disable Intro and Storybook Videos Mod is the way to achieve it – the mod turns off the animated intro as well as the drawn cutscenes displayed during loading; it will also reduce loading time for SSDs.
Creator: zanderb14
How to install: Download the mod manually. Backup the movies.bundle file – located in path: [game_folder]contentcontent0bundles – and the bumpers.usm file – located in path: […]contentcontent0moviescutscenesgamestart. Then, copy the contents of the relevant mod folder (first of them disables all cutscenes, the second one – just the intro, and the third one – only the drawn cutscenes) into: […]contentcontent0bundles, and then run the .bat file. Delete the bumpers.usm file.
Slots, Slots, Slots – more active abilities
Many gamers were upset with the third installment’s decision to limit the number of active abilities to nine, which forced us to pause the game more often to replace them as needed. Slots, Slots, Slotsincreases the capacity of Geralt’s ability tree up to eight times, allowing you to place additional skills in hidden slots. Additionally, the mod offers the option to unlock the nine default “pockets” without leveling up (if, for example, we began the game anew).

Fast Travel from Anywhere – exactly what it says on the label
Fast Travel system based on road signs, requiring you to find one in case you need to cover a bigger distance, is not the most modern solution and can eventually get tiresome. The Fast Travel from Anywhere mod enables you to (yeah, you guessed it) rebel against the road sign dictatorship (or did you?)and travel from middle of nowhere to any other location of your choosing and back again, whichsaves a lot of time and does wonders for the overall pace of your adventuring.

How to install: Download and enable using the Nexus Mod Manager.
Random Gameplay Tweaks – immersion up
Random Gameplay Tweaks is a mod that, as a standard, enables you to change the camera’s distance from Geralt in the default perspective during exploration, horse riding, combat, sailing or using the Witcher Sense. Additionally, it offers some optional packages, allowing for things like galloping through the streets of Novigrad or sprinting indoors. Furthermore, if you’d like to see Geralt’s ability to run long distances, you can also disable fatigue depletion – everything to provide a smooth, cinematic experience.
Creator: pMark
How to install: Download (along with additional packages) and enable using the Nexus Mod Manager.
Dynamic Enemy Scaling – game difficulty based on Geralt’s level
Ever get tired and irritated over those situations when a random drowner or a lousy grunt from Nilfgaard puts down a seasoned witcher? The creator of Dynamic Enemy Scaling understands you. That’s why he decided to make a mod that adjusts the level of all enemies to match the current level of the White Wolf. Now, the enemies provide a fair and moderate challenge, and the leveling – thanks to the refurbished ability point awarding system – becomes more dynamic, significantly reducing the boredom factor and the feeling of pointlessness that are traditionally affiliated with the victory over a weaker opponent.
Creator: Reaperrz
How to install: Download and enable using the Nexus Mod Manager. You don’t have to begin a new game.
Better Combat Enhanced – combat system rebalanced
A complex mod, completely rescaling the game’s difficulty level by means of rebalancing available abilities, changing the stats of weapons, armor, signs, mutagens, potions and oils, and increasing enemy’s health. Other than providing a real challenge for the more demanding players, Better Combat Enhanced introduces a bunch of improvements to gameplay mechanic, i.e. it enables you to use all skills from the very beginning. However, for each gameplay assistance there are multiple handicaps. Something for people who find even the NG+ unsatisfying in terms of difficulty.
Creator: Amioran
How to install: Download manually. Run Setup.exe, then select the Create restore file option and click Install. To make sure that the mod works properly, you’ll need to start a new game.
AutoLoot – automatic pickup of items and ingredients
Picking up stuff in The Witcher 3 is a repetitive and tedious task. AutoLook streamlines the process, allowing you to gather all ingredients (from things like bushes) with a single click – no need to choose which specific one you’d like to pick.The same thing happens when searching chests or drawers, and the “contents” of your enemies are automatically added to your inventory after you defeat them. The mod will also prevent accidental stealing, displaying the old loot selection window and allowing us to choose the specific item we’d like to help ourselves to.

How to install: Download and enable using the Nexus Mod Manager.
Photo Mode – make your own arranged screenshots
Photo Mode is a mod from the beginning intended for people who like to save gameplay moments for future generations – it allows you to add screen effects, change weather conditions, slow down or speed up the time, while retaining the full responsiveness of the camera. Arranging and shooting the thoroughly planned scene from your dreams requires nothing more than pressing a few keys on the keyboard, but the artistic value of your work will be immense.
Creator: CAPA14
How to install: Download manually. Place the Mods folder in the game’s main folder and – if necessary – overwrite the contents (this will have no effect on other mods). Backup the input.xml file - located in path: […]binconfigr4gameuser_config_matrixpc and overwrite it with one from the mod folder. Then, backup the input.settings file - located in: DocumentsThe Witcher 3 and overwrite it as well. The mod’s functions will be assigned to keys on the numpad.
ATTENTION: The mod is incompatible with many mods from this selection. To ensure that Photo Mode works properly, you need to use the Script Merger. To make the mod work with the Friendly HUD mod, after overwriting the input.xml and input.settings files, some additional lines of code must be added to them. These are specified in the “How to install” section of Friendly HUD.
Extreme Weather Conditions – add some thrill to the weather
Extreme weather conditions: tornados, squalls, cyclones… are things you won’t be seeing in Extreme Weather Conditions, but it can deliver intense lightning storms, raging gales, nearly impenetrable mists or downpours with amounts of water you’ve never seen outside of Skellige. The mod is bound to be loved by people who would like to stress the dark fantasy elements of the Witcher’s setting. Maybe the stormy clouds cannot hurt Geralt directly, but they sure can affect his surroundings.
Creator: KNGR
How to install: Download and enable using the Nexus Mod Manager.
Friendly HUD – hiding the interface… and more
The immersion in The Witcher 3 can be easily broken with the overgrown user interface that covers the screen . The Friendly HUD mod lets you get rid of it with a single key. It will also enable you to display a 3D objective marker, meditate in real time or toggle the auto-refilling of potions. The mod has also an option that allows you to bind its functions to the keys of your choosing.
Creator: wghost81
How to install: Download and enable using the Nexus Mod Manager. Then, backup the input.xml file - located in path: […]binconfigr4gameuser_config_matrixpc and edit it with notepad. Find the line: <!-- [BASE_CharacterMovement] --> and before that line add the following:
<Var builder='Input' displayName='QuestMarkersToggle' displayType='INPUTPC' actions='QuestMarkersToggle' />
<Var builder='Input' displayName='HUDToggle' displayType='INPUTPC' actions='HUDToggle' />
<Var builder='Input' displayName='RefillPotionsToggle' displayType='INPUTPC' actions='RefillPotionsToggle' />
<Var builder='Input' displayName='PauseGameToggle' displayType='INPUTPC' actions='PauseGameToggle' />
Save the file. Then, backup the input.settings file located in: DocumentsThe Witcher 3 and edit it using the notepad. Find the line: [Exploration] and after that line add the following:
IK_F2=(Action=QuestMarkersToggle)
IK_F3=(Action=HUDToggle)
IK_F4=(Action=RefillPotionsToggle)
IK_F11=(Action=PauseGameToggle)
Save the file. The basic functions of the mod will be assigned to F2, F3, F4 and F11 keys.
ATTENTION: The mod is incompatible with many mods from this selection (especially with the Photo Mode mod). To ensure that Friendly HUD works properly, you need to use the Script Merger.
1000 Times Better – visual touch up
Not everyone likes spectacular visuals – some of us prefer toned down, subtle shifts, often unrecognizable at first sight. 1.000 Times Better mod reduces the game’s color saturation, improves HDR effect and darkens the nights, making the landscapes give off a more natural vide and makes the interiors more ambient. The mod doesn’t use up a lot of resources (especially if you turn off the additional antialiasing options), and even moderately powerful GPUs should be able to handle it.
Creator: RainyNguyen
How to install: Download manually and place the files in the [,]binx64 subfolder. The effect can be toggled with the Scroll Lock key.
Ultra Low – running The Witcher 3 on (be)low-end specs
Perhaps your hardware is not powerful enough to display The Wild Hunt in its whole glory. No worries – we all know that a good RPG doesn’t need to rely on visuals. Therefore, if you’d like, you will be able to experience story with this Ultra Low mod, which utterly annihilates the visual experience, transforming The Witcher into original Gothic’s half-brother, but, on the other hand, makes it possible to run the game even on unthinkably weak specs. There are two versions available – Ultra Low and Under 9000; the second one (as highlighted by its creator) is intended for VERY desperate people.
Creator: Hasukiii
How to install: Download manually. Backup the rendering.ini file - located in path: […]binconfigbase and overwrite it with the one from the mod folder. Then, backup the user.settings and user.settings.bak files – located in: DocumentsThe Witcher 3. Overwrite the first one with the file from the mod folder, delete the second one.
Super Turbo Lighting – improved lights
The right mood for those long, solitary travels through the vast world can be achieved with Super Turbo Lightning – the mod that changes the intensity and color of the lights, making them more natural and ambient. It will also add some bells and whistles to the cutscenes lighting and signs casting effects, and although the mod is still being tested, the visual experience it offers is more than enough to forgive some occasional glitches.
Creator: essenthy
How to install: Download manually. Copy the modTurbolighting folder to: […]Mods. If you’d like the visuals to become a bit darker, copy modColdcolors as well. For the best effect, we suggest turning off the Light Shafts option.
E3FX – improved visuals
I think we all agree that (in spite of the downgrade controversy) The Witcher 3 is a beautiful game. Except maybe sometimes – and especially if your hardware is up to the challenge – you would like it to be even more beautiful. Here’s where E3FX mod comes into play. With this visual mod the game will look nearly identical to the one we’ve seen on that famous, jaw-dropping trailer released back in 2013. The mod sharpens textures, removes the yellow-ish screen filter, and does some magic with the bloom effect. It’s available in three versions, offering various intensity of effects.

Overview
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, officially announced in February 3, 2013, is an action-role playing video game developed by Polish studio, CD Projekt RED. It is the third title in The Witcher video game series, based on The Witcher saga, a collection of short stories by Polish author, Andrzej Sapkowski. For the first time in the history of the series, the game will be set in an open-world environment. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt puts the players in the role of a professional monster hunter, Geralt of Rivia, the series’ main protagonist. According to CD Projekt RED, this installment will conclude Geralt's story. The game was released on May 19, 2015, on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Gameplay
The game plays much like the previous installment, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, with minor refinements made. The game will track both player choice and actions which ultimately affect how the game will end. The developers say that these choices can either be very tiny or absolutely major. There are 36 different endings to the game, with more than 300 minor variations in the story. Depending on the platform, previous character imports will be possible. On the PlayStation 4, the developer has made note that there will be a way to define old actions and decisions before starting a new game. During the start of the game a player can choose to 'simulate a Witcher 2 save', this will result in player being asked what choice they made during the Witcher 2's campaign.
Glossary
Player have access to a in-game glossary. This allows players to read up on characters, bestiary, crafting and game mechanics. The bestiary tab gives detailed information about the beast in question, but also gives insight into their vulnerabilities. The tutorial tab allows for a deeper explanation on the game's mechanics. The character tab will give a condensed biography on the game's characters. The crafting tab gives player access to the required ingredients for an item, though only blacksmiths can forge weapons and only armorers can craft armor.
Story
In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Geralt of Rivia, the game’s main protagonist, embarks on a quest given to him by the Emperor of Nilfgaard, Emhyr var Emreis. He is in search of the emperor's daughter and Geralt's old friend Ciri, who is currently being pursued by The Wild Hunt.

One of the best things about PC gaming is that so many games stay relevant long after their release, thanks to user-created mods. Even though The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is closing in on three years old, it’s actually better than ever now. Whether you want to inject a little more visual flare, make some minor tweaks to the game, or completely overhaul it, there’s probably a Witcher 3 mod for you.
If you’ve never used mods before, don’t worry; mods for The Witcher 3 are extremely easy to install. They’re all hosted on one site, Nexus Mods, which offers its own software to manage mods. Just head to the site, download Vortex, and click the download link for whichever mod you want. Vortex will handle the rest. You can also install mods manually if you’re more comfortable rooting around in the game’s files than letting a third-party program do it for you.
There are plenty of other mods for The Witcher 3 out there; we’ve selected a good starting collection that addresses common complaints and improves the game without veering too far from its original flavor.
Best The Witcher 3 Graphics Mod
If you want the vanilla Witcher 3 gameplay experience but just a little better looking, there are plenty of mods that will enhance or replace its graphics while keeping the rest of the game the same.
The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project
No matter what mod setup you’re going for, The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project is a great starting point. It enhances the visual fidelity of everything from rocks and streams to animals and buildings without having too much of an impact on framerate. The mod’s creator says that they aimed to keep these custom textures in line with the game’s original style. It may seem like a small change, but you can check out the videos on the mod’s page to see just how much of a difference it makes.
HD Monsters Reworked
Following a similar philosophy as the HD Reworked Project, HD Monsters Reworked updates the textures of monsters, making them much more beautiful to look at without changing them too much from their original style or increasing your PC’s workload.
Super Turbo Lighting Mod
Rather than making lots of little changes to different items, Super Turbo Lighting mod tries to change the look of the entire game by altering lighting and weather effects. The mod’s creator says that it’s an attempt to make the game look how it did in pre-release videos before the lighting was “downgraded” for the final version. In some areas, the effect is subtle, but in others, it brings a much more dramatic feel to the game.
Realistic Weather
Another option for enhanced weather effects is Realistic Weather. It adds more snow and fog to the world, changes the way that rain and snow storms look, and changes the way that clouds look to fit better with the weather. Just keep in mind that it doesn’t play nice with Super Turbo Lighting Mod or any other mod that changes the weather.
High-Quality Faces
For a game where you spend as much time face-to-face with NPCs as The Witcher 3, most of the game’s characters look a little dead behind the eyes. That’s because the game doesn’t actually draw their faces until you get close enough. High-Quality Faces increases the distance at which faces are drawn, so they look better at any distance. As you can see in the screenshots on the mod’s page, the effect is most pronounced in the eyes.
Increased Draw Distance
Much like High-Quality Faces, Increased Draw Distance increase how far into the distance objects are rendered in detail. The difference is, this mod applies that some logic to everything, showing you enemies, buildings, and vegetation farther away. This can take quite a toll on your computer, but if your rig can handle it, it makes the already-bustling world of The Witcher 3 seem even busier.
Improved Sign Effects
Sure, blasting fire out of your hands is impressive, but you could always do it with a little more pizzazz. Improved Sign Effects takes the somewhat flat visual effects for the Igni and Aard signs and cranks them up to 11. It won’t make the spells more powerful, but it makes them feel more powerful, and isn’t that just as important?
Nitpicker’s Patch - Various Visual Fixes
As the name implies, Nitpicker’s Patch forgoes big-picture changes to focus instead on the tiny (frankly, almost imperceptible) details of the world. This mod closes gaps in armor models, fills in missing bits of background geometry, and fixes objects clipping through each other. If you’ve ever been annoyed that a sign post wasn’t properly aligned with its shadow or an object was floating in midair, Nitpicker’s Patch might be for you.
Best The Witcher 3 Merchants Mod
The Witcher 3 is already full of NPCs who can sell you anything from a haunch of meat to a new set of armor. These mods add a few useful new merchants or tweak how the existing ones work.
Gwent Card Dealer
This one is pretty straightforward. If you want to become a master Gwent player, but don’t want to go through the hassle of tracking down rare cards from far-flung players, Gwent Card Dealer has you covered. It adds a merchant who will sell almost every card in the game. All you need is enough coin, and you can buy yourself an advantage that your opponents could only dream of. Just like in real life!
TradeMan
TradeMan is a simple but flexible way to customize how merchants behave in The Witcher 3. Once you install it, you can change how much money merchants have, how often they replenish their funds, and how much they buy and sell goods for. You can use it to get a little bit of a leg up or cheese your way to a fortune.
The Useful Witcher Tool Innkeeper
The Witcher 3 Mods
If you’ve got money burning a hole through your doublet (maybe thanks to the previous mod), The Useful Witcher Tool Innkeeper is a medieval superstore where you can spend it. The Witcher 3 is chock full of potions, oils, runes, and all sorts of other materials to get you ready for any fight. Traveling the world to stock up can be half the fun of the game, but if you’d instead just dive straight into the action, you can buy any supplies you need from one convenient merchant.
Best The Witcher 3 Gameplay Tweaks Mod
There are probably as many ways to play The Witcher 3 as there are players. The following mods will let you change some key things about how the game plays without totally overhauling it, removing nuisances and generally making your experience a bit smoother.
No Fall Damage
Does what it says on the tin. If you’re tired of Geralt being smashed to bits after falling from the height of an average step ladder, No Fall Damage is a must-have.
Indestructible Items - No More Weapon Degradation
Again, this one is pretty self-explanatory. Needing to repair your items is just one of the ways that The Witcher 3 adds some realism, but if that’s not what you’re going for, this mod removes one major annoyance by keeping your weapons and armor constantly at 100 percent durability.
Increased Creature Loot
Nothing is more irritating than grinding for the one item you need when it just won’t drop. Increased Creature Loot fixes that by making sure that animals and monsters always drop some kind of loot. That way you spend less time hunting for Drowner organs and more time chasing down your real prey.
The Witcher Mod
Autoloot - Autoloot The Items You Want
Enemies in The Witcher 3 drop loads of items when they die and running around the battlefield to find everything after a long fight can be time-consuming. Samsung galaxy j1 mini nfc. Autoloot does away with all that by automatically picking up items as they’re dropped, even amid combat. You can also set which items you want it to pick up, to keep from looting junk.
Over 9000 - Weight Limit Mod
Inventory management is a time-honored tradition in nearly every RPG, but is it really that enjoyable to stop and drop 10 pounds worth of hides every few minutes? Over 9000 emphatically says, “no way.” It increases your carrying capacity to 9,100 pounds, so you can hoard to your heart’s content — especially helpful if you’re using the previous two mods.
Auto Apply Oils
One of the coolest parts about The Witcher 3 is how it makes you approach every fight intelligently and prepare before going in for the kill. A big part of that preparation is applying the right oil to your blades to counter whatever you’re fighting. It’s a cool idea, but digging through your inventory for the right vial just isn’t fun. Auto Apply Oils fixes that by automatically using the right oil for whatever enemy you’re fighting every time you enter combat.
Friendly HUD
Friendly HUD straddles the line because of cosmetic mod and gameplay enhancement. It lets you configure your heads up display and various menus in fine detail to get exactly the information you want on the screen and no more. By default, Friendly HUD will clean up your screen, keeping your screenshots looking nice and uncluttered, but it can also be used to make the quick-select menu more helpful.
Jump in Shallow Water
This might seem like a small change unless you’ve set foot in water even once in The Witcher 3. Despite being a super-powered mutant monster slayer, for some reason, Geralt loses his ability to jump if his boots so much as get wet. This mod will do exactly what you think it does, allowing you to jump when you’re standing in shallow water.
Absolute Camera
Absolute Camera is a great addition to your game if you take a lot of screenshots, and it can enhance the action as well. It allows you to set custom camera angles based on several preferences, so for instance, if you want the camera to pull way back when you mount your horse or go in for a close up when you draw your sword, you can make it happen.
Fast Travel From Anywhere
The Witcher 3 only allows fast travel from certain points by default. While it’s a good way to force players actually to explore the game’s enormous world, it can be a drag if you just need to pop over to Novigrad for a quick drink or a pinch of specter dust. Fast Travel From Anywhere lets you initiate travel from any point on the map, rather than having to search for a sign post to set out from.
Freecam and Debug Console for 1.32 Patch
Freecam and Debug Console is more than just a mod. You may be familiar with console commands already, most likely from old-school shooters like Quake or any recent Bethesda game. In The Witcher 3, they allow you to change the game in nearly any way you can think of: changing Geralt’s hair, spawning in new monsters, instantly gaining levels, or making yourself invincible. The possibilities this mod unlocks are pretty staggering, and there’s a full list of console commands on its Mod Nexus page.
Overhauls
These next two mods operate a bit differently than the others, making huge, sweeping changes to the game rather than focusing on singular enhancements. You’ll have to check out their mod pages for full details since there are just too many changes to list here, but you can expect alterations to combat, crafting, skills, trading, exploration, and just about everything else in the game. In general, Ghost Mode stays a little closer to the vanilla experience of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, whereas Witcher 3 - Enhanced Edition goes much farther with its changes. Keep in mind that, since these mods incorporate so many changes, they’re very likely to conflict with other mods. If you’d rather just install one mod that touches nearly everything than make lots of little tweaks, these overhauls are worth looking into.
