📋 About This Mod
Now included in LEGO - Loot Economy Gear Overhaul.
Removes gear level requirements and hides UI elements that display their level. Inspired by DrawingDrag0ns' No Level Requirements for 1. 31, sjbox's No Item Level Requirements and all the other similar mods. This version additionally hides gear levels when inspecting schematics in a shop and is made to be more compatible with my other itemization mods.
Install:
Same as installing most other TW3 Mods. Avoid Vortex, TW3 Mod Manager recommended if you need a manager. Place any \modxxx folders directly inside your <TW3 game install>\Mods (or \mods) folder, place any \dlcxxx folders directly inside your <TW3 game install>\dlc (or \DLC) folder. Merge everything with Script Merger.
How to install most simple TW3 Mods for newbies/klutzes:
First you gotta locate your The Witcher 3 game install location. Usually it's somewhere like "C:\GOG Games\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt GOTY" for Good Old Games versions of the game or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Witcher 3" for Steam versions of the game.
Script Merger
Download, run/install it, run what it installed to be sure it's working.
Optional but highly recommended:
TW3 Mod Manager
Download, run/install it, run what it installed to be sure it's working. Installing it all to some place like C:\TW3Modding\ should work.
After that you can install most mods by downloading them manually (VORTEX NOT RECOMMENDED WITH TW3 MODS, IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE PROBLEMS). Extract their contents somewhere (rightclick on the downloaded mod file->extract) and then place their files&folders in the right places in your game install yourself OR let TW3 Mod Manager extract and place them correctly for you (Recommended).
If you're not using TW3 Mod Manager you need to make sure all of your mod's \modxxx folders end up directly inside your <TW3 game install>\Mods folder (or <TW3 game install>\mods, wherever your other mods are). If there's no mods folder in your TW3 game install folder (TW3MM would've created one for you) you can create one by rightclicking on some empty space there -> "New" -> "Folder" and write Mods as its name. That means your \modxxx folders ends up as <TW3 game install>\Mods\modxxx. TW3MM would place it there automatically for you so you wouldn't have to.
If your mod has \dlcxxx folders they similarly need to be directly inside your <TW3 game install>\dlc folder (or <TW3 game install>\DLC wherever your other dlcs are). They should end up as <TW3 game install>\dlc\dlcxxx ( never <TW3 game install>\dlc\dlc\dlcxxx !). TW3MM would do this automatically for you.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,313 endorsements and over 64k downloads—clearly a well-loved QoL mod.
- Two-in-one: kills level gates and cleans up the UI in one install.
- Lightweight tweak that doesn't overhaul the game—just removes an annoyance.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in November 2023—might be out of sync with the latest game patches.
- Removing level requirements could trivialize early-game progression for some playstyles.
For players who hate being locked out of gear by level gates and want a cleaner inventory UI. Perfect for alt characters or late-game farming. Skip if you enjoy the progression curve and want to keep level requirements intact.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If the mod doesn't work after installation, check that you've placed files in the correct game directory—common for tweak mods.
- Since it hides level UI, you might lose track of gear levels—consider keeping a mental note or using a separate tool if you need that info.
- Test with a low-level character to confirm the level requirement removal works as expected before committing to a playthrough.
