This list of mods is built around the excellent Ghost Mode overhaul mod. Here's WGhost81's own excellent list of mods to use with the mod: The Witcher 3: Ghost Mode Mod List. The Total Immersion Mod List is another excellent source of ideas for mods to use with Ghost Mode.
My original list of mods for Ghost Mode from 2017/18 is here: The Witcher 3 - Ghost Mode Mod List. That list does not change the look of the game in any way and is focused on gameplay tweaks. This list takes a different approach and will try for an updated and different look for this playthrough.
