A new The Witcher 3 mod introducing some welcome graphics enhancements has been released recently.
The new mod, called The Witcher 3 Next Generation Level of Detail mod, introduces high-quality meshes in place of the game's low proxy ones, reducing pop-in and increasing detail of distant objects and buildings. This also allows custom textures to be visible from any distance. Please note that the mod is still in beta, and only works in White Orchard and Velen.
What to do before installation?
Install mod TWEAKS, or tweak following value in user.settings manually (create the line if its not already there:
