The release of the official Witcher 3 modkit in May 2024 made modding a lot easier, which means people more creative than us are now working on many cool new mods.
In this first roundup, we’ll cover five such new interesting mods to spice up your Witcher 3 playthrough and keep the game going for many more years to come.

Potions Improved
A huge part of a witcher’s repertoire is using potions to enhance their effectiveness in combat. While the potions in the base game are pretty useful in their own right, there’s no denying that there’s room for improvement.
With this mod, players can find weaker and early-game potions to be more viable and enjoy more charges on their potions from the get-go. The potions are also scaled for New Game+ and receive some balance changes.
Landmarks Of White Orchard
White Orchard is a great tutorial area that introduces players to the bulk of the gameplay mechanics that will play a central role in The Witcher 3. The area isn’t too large and lets players explore at their own pace before heading to the main areas of the game.
However, there’s no denying that this area has a ton of potential, and this cool mod adds more unique landmarks for players to explore in White Orchard. Players who may be tired of exploring the main areas of the game can go back to this tutorial area and explore the new additions made by this mod, which includes everything from mysterious shrines to rest stops.
Runes And Glyphs Improved
This mod modifies the effects and prices of runes and glyphs to make them more balanced. With this mod, both base game runestones and the new glyphs added in the Hearts of Stone DLC are tweaked significantly to make them well worth using. The tweaks may be small but do a great job of letting players enjoy a different way to play the game.
A Music Addition Project
The music in The Witcher 3 is a blast to listen to, changing dynamically as players explore the open world, get into combat scenarios, and witness cutscenes with varying emotions. However, after a point, it would be nice to get a bit more variety.
With this ambitious mod, a wealth of music from the first two Witcher games coupled with some unused Witcher 3 soundtracks and tracks from the Gwent game, Thronebreaker, and some fan-made music is added into the game. The journey that a player’s ears will go through as they play through The Witcher 3 will be mind-blowing after installing this mod.
Better FX
A huge part of what makes The Witcher 3 so magical is the visuals. So, any mod that enhances this department of the game in a tasteful manner will be worth checking out.
Smoke, embers, rain, snow, and everything else along the lines is enhanced considerably with this mod. Geralt gets covered in blood more often, and the quality of the fur shown in the game is also improved to make their look and sway more realistic than ever before.
That’s it for now! Be sure to check back for more exciting mod releases in the near future and see our list of the best Witcher 3 mods (including many must-have additions).
