so i am restarting this game with the W3EE mod, other than that what are the must have other mods for this? or just fun mods that add features that's fun for the game?
I mostly just used quality of life mods:
Better Than Icons makes finding the right potion/oil/bomb/etc much easier
All Quest Objectives on Map so you don't have to click around in the journal to find nearby objectives
No GPS No GPS! What's the point of an open world if you don't have to navigate yourself?
Friendly HUD HUD customization, and easier quick-use menu for potion/oil/bomb
Witcher Armors Dirty and Worn Retexture with Blood&Wine CDPR redesigned witcher armors, giving them a yucky power ranger color palette, this tones it down
AutoLoot if you want to loot shit but can't be arsed to look in every barrel of fish yourself
For graphics there's the texture pack
HD Reworked Project. Don't think I've used it, but it looks quite faithful to the original textures.
Other than that,
Increased Draw Distance? The ENB guy decided not to do Witcher 3 IIRC, so maybe a reshade preset of your choice
if you find one you like.
