📋 About This Mod

Next-Gen 4. 04 Compatible

I've redone all witcher's abilities icons, including sword abilities, alchemy abilities, sign abilities, perk abilities and mutation abilities. They've all been changed from the white simple linear icons into new style full color ones. Check the details in screenshot or try it in game. Personally I think they are quite beautiful and can suite perfectly with the game design. This mod is suggested to be used with my Witcher Buff Icons Redone mod, which got all witcher's buffs icons redone.

The mod is compatible with Restored Content - Additional Perks / Restored Content - Additional Perks - Next-Gen. The restored perks also get redesigned icons without priority issue.

The mod is also compatible with overhaul mods like Ghost Mode and W3EE. If used with them, my mod should take priority over those mods.

And there is an alternate version for Vladimir UI users in the optional file section. It should take priority over mod Vladimir UI.

Added the big square icon version. There are two .xml files (effects_ep2.xml) in this version, use ScriptMerger to merge them if there are conflicts with other mods. Though it's not recommended to merge .xml files, doing so should be safe for this mod.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 912 endorsements and nearly 46k downloads.
  • Covers every ability category—sword, alchemy, signs, perks, and mutations—so the whole tree looks cohesive.
  • Updated recently (Feb 2026), so it's likely compatible with the current game version.

⚠️ Cons

  • Purely cosmetic—no gameplay changes, so if you want new mechanics, this isn't it.
  • No screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you can't see the new icons before installing.
  • Only affects icons, not other UI elements like menus or HUD, so the visual overhaul is limited.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Witcher 3 players who want a fresh, consistent look for all ability icons without changing gameplay. Perfect for those who spend time in the character menu and appreciate visual polish. Skip if you're looking for gameplay tweaks or a full UI overhaul.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a UI mod, make sure to place it in the 'Mods' folder in your Witcher 3 directory, or use a mod manager like Vortex for easier installation.
  • If you're using other UI mods, check for conflicts—this mod only changes ability icons, so it should be compatible with most, but load order might matter.
  • After installing, launch the game and check the character menu to see the new icons; if they don't appear, verify the mod is enabled in your mod manager.
