How To Mod The Witcher 3 - Next Gen (Step by Step Tutorial)

Thanks for the tutorial, very well done. One thing, I don't have user.settings tho, what should I do if this happens?

Dude that script meger bullshit is confusing

Thanks for good Video.

Can you explain what bundled text are... And when you would need to merge them and when you are okay not merging

I actually found the program your using< ANYONE NEW DOWUNLOAD SUBLIME TEXT TO TWEAK XML FILES, now im just having a hard time finding the vanilla imput xml anyone have any ideas where?

after merging, do i delete the original (mod) or just keep the merged and the original mod on the same folder (mods folder)? please help

bro script manager is not detecting any mod

I've modded the game before and now it has been a couple years since I have played. Now I have to use this Vortex manager but none of the enabled mods on vortex are actually working. Anyone have any ideas why?

Great content for sure! I'm curious, do console commands mess with mods at all?

Hi, great video but I am having an issue. I am adding in key bindings in the input.settings file and saving. Then once I start the game nothing happens. I close the game, go back to the settings file and it says that it has been modified and is reverted back to the default. Do you have an idea of what is causing this?

waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy to hard to mod a game... it's like they make it intentionally hard, so players are discouraged to get a degree in coding in order to put a few mods in there... holy moly. But of course that's not the case. They would never do something like that.

Bruh. 40 minute video?

fuck it , i came to enjoy the game not pass fucking 2 days worth of mod editing and end up playing for 10 minutes

is this whole video still up to date since the release of the 4.04 update of the game?🤔❓if not can u make a updated version?

I'm still wating for e3 hud and ui for next gen XD

Thanks

Ayo bro, thanks so much for this in-depth guide to installing TW3 mods for Next Gen. It took me weeks back in summer of 2019 to configure my mod set up on Classic TW3 to have everything running with no conflicts. Now that its been 4 years, I forgot how to do everything again lol, but this actually really helped! Especially for Next-Gen.

do you only need script merger to mod witcher 3

Would it be possible for you to just have a Mega with the merged files, so people could just simply download the whole thing, put it in the folder, and wham bam alakazam?

I've been stuck on step number 1 for an hour now, fuck me i hate modding, this is too complicated for my brain.

My Script Merger is emty and the mods are not activated in the game.

Can someone please tell me in simple layman terms what I need in order to open an existing mod? I just want to open it so I can browse the files. I'm asking this because many years ago (way back in 2017) I played the game a lot and had a custom mod file with a bunch of merged stuff: long story short, I then went some 6 years without playing the game - in that time I forgot the specifics of what all of the stuff in the mod was. It was all texture related, that much I remember, but I'd like to know what specifically. I recently got back into the game and I still have the mod file in its entirety. I played the game with the mod enabled and the couple of things that I remember it altered still work and look fine, but the mod is 200MB in size and I simply don't remember all the textures that it affected. There was the big update to the game at the end of 2022 and some of the stuff in the mod could be redundant (I vaguely remember some of the stuff in the mod * might * have been just higher resolution versions of things, which indeed could now be redundant since the update included improved texture resolution), so I'd just like to see what it all was.

great tutorial for beginners who arent familiar with c programming.
Few notes:
When merging files, if the file has conflicts with vanilla features, its usually better to choose the mod implementation since otherwise the mod wouldnt work. If there is a conflict with another mod, you can actually choose one mod over another or just copy parts of the text from both! It depends on the case by case basis but I have found it to work many a times.
If you end up in a situation where the game is compiling scripts and there is an error that comes up (I had AutoApplyOils for instance which has been in integrated with the game causing the mod not to work), you can always look for that file, open it in the text editor of your choice and comment out the line in question (instead of deleting it). Simply add "//" before the line in question (the line number and the location of the file is given with the error code so it should be easy to find) or if you want to comment multiple lines in question, use "/**" and "**/" instead.

Example:
* Commenting out a single line:
//autoApplyOils();
This would make it so the game doesnt read that line while compiling.
* Commenting out multiple lines:
//*if (blah blah == blah blah){
do x;
do y;
} **/
This would make it so the game doesnt read the entire block of code while compiling.

Help please! firstly Thanks for the guide! I however I have a very serious issue... no attacks are registering from me, enemies or other friendly/horse at all. I have all but 1 of the mods in your list installed (controller mod), was able to resolve all conflicts throughout the modding process but from the start of the game, right from the tutorial, no attacks are registering from anyone, and I wouldn't have a clue where to start problem solving. which mods could be causing this?
Edit: grammar

Great walkthrough king

Using TW3MM is a must, skips 90% of everything here. Only need to use script merger

anyone know if the geralt doppler and the magic spell mods are still working?

where do i find the vanilla.xml folder? its the only part im stuck on

thank you so much! question early on in the video, is there a way to disable auto update on steam? theres a work around where you set it to only update when launching the game and then disable internet connection prior to launching the game. Is there a workaround from this where its just off for the witcher 3? thanks very much for the video!

Great Job, after a couple years, came back to modding TW3... I still remember my brain boling after errors, and errors, and errors, but I must say this is a very precise guide about how avoid mistakes by modding this masterpiece. Good job Jordan!!

If i bought the witcher 3 complete edition from steam, do i still need to manually mod too?

Please somebody help me. I am not good with computer stuff and am getting very frustrated that nobody takes the time to teach stupid people how to do this. I need help i am computer stupid all i want to do is make the witcher 3 look better

I LOVE YOU DUDE. Theres no way you arent becoming HUGE in next year or so. Tis was sooo helpfull. Much love

I pretty new to modding but how do i get the in-game Mods sub menu?

This shit is fucking impossible

You're the man! Thanks so much for making this video it helps so so much

When I try to run the game I get a compilation error saying that the nodecorativecontainers mesh exists but was not imported from c++ code. Am I missing something?

3 weeks old into Witcher 3 ( yea I know, late AF) but already highly addicted to it. A few days old into the W3 modding scene, this vid is great help! Thanks for this. subbed

so the thing about vortex is it has only work for games like skyrim and fallout, very rarely has it worked for other games, it's easy to manually mod games like rdr2 and elden ring without it but for skyrim and fallout you just click the mod manager button and it downloads the mod and sets it up for you just like if you were installing a game so i would recommend vortex for skyrim and fallout and nothing else

Hands down best walkthrough I’ve ever seen for modding. Used to get super frustrated because people were zooming through it, but this is conveniently paced. Well done!

Where is the mod that nerfs the city guards,nerfs the fall damege and have some other futures like seeing in dark and ciri,triss and yen have other outfits?

Thanks, that was really helpful.

Hey ! Thanks a lot for this in-depth video ! Really helped a lot but I can't seem to find my own user.settings file in my Documents folder where I could paste the Friendly HUD's. Got the other files though. Any idea what's going on?

I KNEW once i heard your voice, i then knew i could get this done. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!...............You spoke clearly, you showed the same emotions that we were feeling, and you made us feel at home. I seriously hope you much successs in your future. We need more teachers like you. Yes......i subbed

Thank you

Hey men you maybe skills for upgrade wiedzime Lightning mod for nextgen

I cant thank you enough for this video, but I feel obligated to try. Thank you thank you thank you. I'm new to mods and and have broken my game twice now 🥲BUT I am determined to pay close attention this time and not F#@% it ip again.

Question though, When adding the FriendlyHud mod, I cant seem to paste the text that I copied from the mods imput.xml into the games. (it worked fine with the user settings.) I noticed that your file looks different then mine when opened (numbered lines to the left,) so i ask... are you using a different program, or am i missing something else.

Hi! i need your help Master. I need to fix the problem because i'm over 100 level (105) at my save and i have this glitch that quest items are disappearing. Do you have any idea how to fix it my man?
