Ladies and gentlemen, this is the one mod to rule them all, an unquestionable favorite of the Nexus Mods’ community, the flagship representative of the visual upgrade mods (not that The Witcher 3’s graphics need much upgrading, but you can always go a bit further). This time, we’ve got a pack that doesn’t revamp effects such as lighting, saturation or depth of field – instead, this mod swaps the vanilla textures with ones of significantly higher quality.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is really pretty without any mods, so the difference isn’t very conspicuous at first glance. If you’re not sure whether the mod has done anything to upgrade the game, take a trip around Novigrad. The effect is dazzling – the muddy alleyways, marble floors and tiled roofs look as pretty as never before. A closer look at crates, sacks of wheat, rocks or wooden tables and logs leaves no doubts. The best part, however, is that the impact on performance is marginal. What’s more, works are still in progress, so more upgrades of different aspect of the visual layer of The Wild Hunt will surely come in the future

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I packed more than 200 hours into the Witcher 3, and I still have some unfinished business in the game. I’ve been a great fan of both Andrzej Sapkowski’s books, and of games by CD Projekt RED since the beginning of times, which resulted in penning many articles about The Witcher game saga.
