📋 About This Mod
The radius for Geralt's torch was always to short in my opinion, this mod aims to fix that. This mod sets the radius for Geralt's torch from double to 5 times the vanilla radius. Going above 5 times the vanilla radius seems to have little to no effect at all for some reason. To my knowledge, this mod does not effect any other torch or light source.
Installation: Choose what torch radius setting you want to use from the Files tab, and install as any other mod.
Tools used: QuickBms with the Withcer 3 bms script. Sarcen's Mod Editor to edit the torch.w2ent file and to pack the mod.
Special thanks to DJ_Kovrik without his help on my thread on the cd projekt red forums. This mod probably would not exist.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,173 endorsements and 123k downloads.
- Easy to install and use—just drop in and go.
- Makes exploring dark caves and night-time travel much more practical.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017—may not be compatible with the latest game version or DLCs.

For Witcher 3 players who find the default torch radius too small and want a quick fix without overhauling lighting. Great for explorers who spend a lot of time in dark areas. Skip if you want a comprehensive lighting overhaul or if you're playing on a modded setup that already adjusts torch light.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod files in the 'Mods' folder in your Witcher 3 directory.
- If you have other lighting mods, test for conflicts—this mod only changes torch radius, so it should be compatible with most.
- Back up your original files before installing, just in case you want to revert.
