📋 About This Mod

Do you find yourself wanting to ignite every torch and light in the game, but don't do so because it's too much work? Then this mod is for you. Or if you just want a better looking game. :) This mod automatically (or manually if you prefer) ignites all lights/torches in a radius (default 20m) around Geralt.

There are a lot of lights in the game, but many are turned off by default, quite a few even at night. Turning them on can make a big visual difference, depending on where you are and is just a convenience in some places. See the screenshots for an example and try it out!

By default the MOD starts in Automatic Mode. Quickly tap the Action button (see picture below) 3 times to switch to Manual Mode (and do it again to go back to Automatic). In Manual Mode you can Double tap the action button to turn on/off lights.

If you want to use a different range you can choose 10m or 50m. To change range, quickly tap the action button 4 times.

Instead of using the action button, you can also use the ingame menu to change options: Main Menu, Options, Mods, Turn On The Lights.

Note: The distance where lights that are actually visible depends on graphics settings. On max (Ultra RT) settings I see no performance difference at all when using the mod though. (On an admittedly high-end system.)

Note 2: The mod applies only to lights that are also possible to Ignite/Extinguish manually. But that should be the large majority.

Note 3 for Controller users: You have to enable Quick Sign Casting in in-game Options (under Gameplay) for the action button to work! If you don't, you can only switch options via the menu.

Note 4: When playing as Ciri, only Automatic Mode is available. Manual Mode and the Action button do not work. You can also switch to Manual Mode if you don't want this working for Ciri for lore reasons. :)

Options and Controls

Ingame Menu

Note: For the "Disable Automatic Mode during Day Time" option, this will also take into account two other things: if you're indoors, or if it's bad weather, Automatic Mode will still work, even if you turn on this option. Since mod version 4. 3. 2 it now also possible to use the action button while still in Automatic Mode. This is useful combined with the "Disable Automatic Mode during Day Time" option to overrule that when needed.
