This mod by Wolfmark shows the markers of all the active quests on the map. With the help of this, you can change between them without going over to the quests menu every time.

Auto Apply Oils

The sword oils are a great inclusion in making combat in The Witcher 3 much more interesting. But, knowing which specific oil to apply to your sword for fighting a specific enemy can be a bit of a hassle in The Witcher 3. To solve that, this mod by SheepDarkLord will scan the type of enemies near you and apply the oil that is most effective against them. This certainly makes combat easier as you can fully focus on your enemies.
AutoLoot

Looting items is also a tedious activity in the game, particularly picking out every item individually, but it is one that is essential in upgrading your equipment and progressing in the game. This mod solves all that by automatically looting all the items without opening the loot menu. You can even set a filter for specific loot like herbs, weapons, or armor for it.
Disable Intro and Storybook Videos

One of the more annoying parts of The Witcher 3 is the introduction and recap sequences by Dandelion when loading up the game every time. Though initially, it is interesting to hear, it gets repetitive very soon as you just want to get straight into the action. With this mod, those sequences are disabled and you are directly loaded into the game.
E3FX

The E3 trailer for The Witcher 3 was one for the ages as it showed off the beautiful visuals of the game through a cinematic and realistic lens. This mod aims to restore those amazing visuals of the original E3 trailer by adjusting the bloom and adding a more cinematic color scheme. The overall look of the game is brighter and makes the game look more lively too.
Fast Travel From Anywhere

While The Witcher 3 has a big world filled with a lot of activities to do, traveling around can get dull very quickly, especially if you need to travel to far locations. Though fast travel signposts do make traveling easier, you might find yourself not near one. With this mod, you can travel to any signpost from any location on the map, which helps in saving up a lot of time.

The ultra mode of this mod also will utilize almost every bit of your GPU.

Using weapons continuously can get them to degrade very quickly. So, you need to look after them when you’re in combat and also while exploring. This mod will stop weapons from getting degraded so you can use them to your heart’s content when fighting against monsters and beasts.
No Fall Damage

For a powerful and strong mutant who fights huge beasts and monsters, Geralt surprisingly can take a lot of damage and even die when jumping or falling from certain heights. Moving around can also get a bit risky too. Fortunately, this mod removes the damage Geralt takes when jumping or falling from great heights. So, if you ever wanted to jump from the big building of Novigrad or Toussaint, you can now do so.
Over 9000 Weight

While traveling you’ll have to pick up a lot of necessary items and equipment that serve different purposes. These can fill up your inventory pretty quickly and make it difficult to move, particularly in the initial stages of the game. This mod removes the weight limit of your inventory and essentially increases it to 9999. So, you can carry whatever you want and it will take a while to fill it up.
