Method 4 - Death March (Very Hard) - I dunno, learn how to code and make your own mods I guess? In this particular case, it was about the destination, and not the journey. After throwing myself out the window in a fit of rage, I picked all the broken glass out of my flesh and just settled for the fact that getting any of this to work was a small miracle. Inexplicably, after doing all this, Vortex just started finding the mods all of the sudden and working as advertised. Others still are so specialized that it may be awhile before you encounter the specific situation in which they are meant to become useful, so it may be awhile before you know for certain if you bungled it or not. A few of these mods simply don’t work with the latest updates, although most of the popular ones are pretty regularly updated so I’d see this as temporary. In my experience, most of the mods worked, some didn’t. There are also a mod manager and a script merger available that can help you to eliminate conflicting or unnecessary mods, which you might want to install as well. Many of these have specific instructions on how or in what order to install them (like the beautiful ‘Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project’ mod that has to be installed in three parts, for example), so read the notes on Nexus Mods very carefully. Create a file called “Mods” here and move all of your downloaded and unzipped mods into this folder. To do so you simply navigate from your drive to Program Files (x86), Steam, Steam Apps, common, then Witcher 3. In order to get any of these to work on my machine, I had to manually download and install them.

Method 3 - Blood and Broken Bones (Hard) - Download and manually install the files on your PC I did that and most of my mods didn’t work or seemed to break the game. How it’s supposed to work, at any rate, should be as simple as installing Nexus Mods’ ‘Vortex’ app to your PC and then installing the mods you want to use directly to that program. In theory this is almost as easy as subscribing to mods on Steam, except it inexplicably didn’t work for me at all (at first). Method 2 - Sword and Story (Normal) - Install Nexus Mods and activate them there This is hella easy and works great for Divinity: Original Sin 2, and Pillars of Eternity: Deadfire but isn’t supported by The Witcher 3, so that’s out.

Method 1 - Just The Story (Easy) - Just use the Workshop mods on Steam There are several ways you can go about modding your PC copy of The Witcher 3.
