📋 About This Mod
This mod has been tested and works with patch 1. 12. 1
Update: As I no longer actively play the Witcher 3, I will not actively support this mod. It is still unlikely that it will break however, and I will check back occasionally just to see it if still works, and if it does not I might try to fix it (no promises though). Please note that as I might not be checking that this mod is working correctly if any future patches are released, it would be wise to take some additional precautions when installing if your patch does not match the one noted above. More specifically I would recommend taking a backup of your savegame if you are attempting to install any mod not confirmed to work for your patch.
I hope this mod has made the game more enjoyable (or at least a bit less tedious) for some of you, and while this might not be the most popular mod by any stretch, the amount of downloads both here and bundled with other mods elsewhere has been amazing. Thank you for your support.

Increases the duration of your oils from their original duration to 1000/2000/3000. There is also a reduced option available with 150/200/250 charges for those that wish to have it closer to the original but without having to reapply it every fight.
This mod has now been updated to be compatible with the Nexus Mod Manager thanks to the recently released modkit. To install simply use the NMM or follow the manual install instructions below. This mod should no longer affect any other mods or stop working after a new patch has been released, the sole exception to this rule is mods that also affect the "def_item_alchemy_oils.xml" file.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 2,703 endorsements—plenty of players trust this mod.
- Saves you from constantly reapplying oils mid-fight, which is a real QoL win.
- Lightweight and simple—no bloat, just does what it says.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015—might not work with the latest game version or DLCs.
- Only affects oils, so if you were hoping for a broader alchemy overhaul, this isn't it.
For Witcher 3 players who hate pausing combat to reapply oils and want a straightforward fix. If you're a completionist who uses oils religiously, this saves you time. Skip if you want deeper alchemy changes or play on a heavily modded setup where compatibility might be an issue.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2015, check if you're playing the Game of the Year edition or have the latest patches—if so, test it early to ensure it works.
- If you use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Vortex, install it through there to keep track of it easily.
- Back up your save before installing just in case, but this mod is simple enough that it shouldn't cause issues.
