📋 About This Mod
Evil is Evil
Makes no difference.
From the creator of the popular PATHOS ENB for Fallout 4.

Your world is ravaged by war, riddled with lies, deafened by violence and crying for
salvation. They say witchers are heartless, stripped of all emotions. But is that true?
PATHOS will help you answer that question.
INSTALLATION:
1. Download and install the latest version of the Reshade framework (follow the installation instructions provided here, click on "Direct3D 10+"). Download all of the effects when asked to during the installation).
2. Download PATHOS and move the contents of the folder into the directory that contains your witcher3.exe. Overwrite when asked.
3. Start the game, wait for the shaders to load and press the "home" key to open the GUI.
4. From the drown-down menu on top of the GUI select "PATHOS.ini". You should now notice the shaders activate.
5. Very important: Under the "Settings" tab of the GUI change the drop-down menu from "Configuration mode" to "Performance mode".
Super Turbo Lighting Mod is compatible when using PATHOS - STLM
Wiedzmin Lighting Mod is compatible with the STLM-version.
Every other lighting mod should more or less be compatible with either the Vanilla or the STLM version.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,878 endorsements — players clearly like what it does
- Massive download count (57k+) means it's been tested by a lot of people
- Simple to use — just drop the preset into your ReShade folder and you're set
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019 — might not work perfectly with the latest Skyrim patches or newer ReShade versions
- No detailed description of what exactly it changes — you'll have to try it to see
- Requires ReShade to be installed separately, which adds a step for newcomers
For Skyrim players who want a quick visual upgrade without fiddling with ENB or complex settings. If you're after a cinematic, moody look and don't mind a preset that's a few years old, this is worth a shot. Skip if you want gameplay changes — this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have ReShade installed and set up for Skyrim before adding this preset.
- After installing, use the ReShade in-game menu to toggle the preset on and off to see the difference.
- If the preset looks too strong or too weak, adjust the intensity sliders in ReShade to your liking.
