[MOD Compilation] Alternative Chimney Smoke
Hey everyone, this is a mod I’ve been working on for quite a while, then put it to rest for some time only to come back at it now.
Basically, what I tried is to replace chimney smoke in the game with something a little more “punchy” to get a more pronounced effect on the particles:
I originally wanted to create something reminiscent of the smoke effects in earlier trailers, but I realized by now, that I cannot improve it much further than what I have now.
Also, I created various versions along the process, and because tastes are different and even I can’t really decide which version I prefer the most, you’ll find 5 different mod versions attached below.

Many thanks to:
Finally, I hope that some of you may like this mod and I'm happily awaiting your feedback.
Happy witchering, everyone!

- Version 1: Defined, rather sharp smoke
- Version 2: Smooth smoke
- Version 3: Combination -> Some chimneys use version 1 others version 2
- Version 4: Smoothest puffy smoke
- Version 5: Dark and “oily” smoke

Some more details of what I changed:
- Chimney smoke of most housings (but not all) has been changed
- Maximum particle count has been raised
- Four of the five versions use modified original textures or even some I made from scratch
- I deleted the lower quality LOD levels and raised the maximum distance for the remaining highest quality LOD level of the smoke
- Probably some more tweaks, I’ve already forgotten about
Installations instructions:
- Only choose one version at a time
- Drop the folders (version 1 to 4 contain two folders, version 5 is only one folder) into your “The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\Mods” folder
- Only particle and texture files for smoke have been changed, no scripts, thus there should be no conflicts with any other mod AFAIK
Many thanks to:
- The real Witcher 3 Modding Discord
- Sarcen for providing us with ModEditor
- CDPR for creating this marvelous game
Finally, I hope that some of you may like this mod and I'm happily awaiting your feedback.
Happy witchering, everyone!
