This UI mod for The Witcher 3 makes candles, torches, campfires, and other light sources interactable only when you have Aard or Igni equipped.

With over 4,000 endorsements and 100,000 downloads, it's a popular quality-of-life improvement for players who want more control over their interactions.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community approval (4,112 endorsements) and over 100k downloads—clearly a must-have for many players.
- Solves a real annoyance: no more accidentally blowing out candles or lighting torches when you're just trying to loot.
- Lightweight UI tweak that doesn't affect gameplay balance—pure convenience.
⚠️ Cons
- Only works if you actually use Aard/Igni—if you rarely equip those signs, you'll lose the ability to interact with lights entirely unless you switch.
- No documentation on compatibility with other UI mods or the next-gen update—might conflict with custom UI overhauls.
- Last updated in July 2023—could be outdated if the game has received patches since then.
For Witcher 3 players who hate accidentally interacting with every candle and torch in the world. If you're a completionist who likes to light up every brazer or a roleplayer who wants to control when Geralt uses signs, this mod is for you. Skip it if you never use Aard or Igni or if you prefer a more immersive, always-interactable world.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to equip Aard or Igni before trying to interact with light sources—otherwise the prompt won't appear.
- If you're using other UI mods, test this mod in a safe area first to ensure no conflicts.
- This mod is for the PC version of The Witcher 3; console players won't be able to use it.
