I see that it has Steam Workshop support. Did the game have Steam Workshop for mods before this?

If not, this could make the mods realistically available to many more people. Most people don't want to mess around with the files themselves to install or use mods.

Steam Workshop support is new. It should have been included from Release Day in my opinion, but since then, the community has gelled around NexusMods. I'm not sure how popular Workshop will actually be and I don't see most of the mods on Nexus being reposted to Workshop.

It's obviously late considering all the existing mods and remasters the game has gone through, but I suppose if you haven't played in a while and want to revisit it, the new mods will be nuts.

I'm excited to get a 3rd playthrough going at some point, but ironically, I want to go in at it with minimal mods beyond what the remaster edition provides. Perhaps some additional that may improve texture quality, but I like to keep the original representation intact for the most part. That HalkHogan mod has always been my go to install before playing. Keeps the original intact while updating the quality.

HD Project Reworked is included in the base game now with the Next Gen update - you do not need to incorporate Halk's mod until he releases V12 (or is it 13?) which is hopefully releasing this summer... --edit to add: see this modlist of unnecessary mods now included in NG: [url=]https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/7460[/url]
Most of my mod list is texture and model changes. I love the recent changes to low-tier armor like Temerian or Cidarian armors, which look downright wearable now. New outfits for Dandelion (get him out of his peacock outfit, i know it's lore-accurate but it looks silly to me). 4K updates to main characters, hair changes, a braid for Yennefer. Young Ciri is a fun one too. The Killing Monsters Cloak is nice (the cloak from the trailer). Darker Nights... man the list goes on and on.
I'm really looking forward to what this modkit allows the community to create. My vision for something I'd like to attempt, or consider attempting, is simple changes to dialogue camera placement. Instead of shot-for-shot I'd like to change the camera to show more pulled-back shot composition, maybe a few birds' eye views. No changes to animations within the dialogue scenes but just different angles on it. Subtle changes like these to new play thrus really add a lot for long time players.
What a game!

Cool. I'll keep that bookmarked for whenever I give it another go.

Hm. It looks like Nexus Mods Vortex mod manager was used before. I wonder how Steam Workshop will change this. Many mod makers won't upload to Nexus if Steam Workshop is available.

Another question is what happens if some of the old mods that a user wants to load are on Nexus and the newer mods are on Steam Workshop.

Do people ever load more than one mod at a time for this game. If so, I guess people could probably still load things manually.

This is still wonderful news, anyway.

Hey this was released hours ago... where are all the mods?!? Modders are slackin'.

What a game!

There are a lot of great mods already but this should make modding easier and open up new possibilities.

Yeah a little late, but its the gift that keeps on giving!

A little late to the party, no? They should have got this out way earlier.

Game was released 9 years ago.. at least 4 years ago they should have done this...
