how do u download mods for this game via workshop?

[MROOD]

if I buy the game whats the easiest way to install mods?

You don't.

Use nexusmods.com for all your Witcher 3 mods. The Workshop is not enough for these complex mods, so it is not used.
Either install the mods manually and/or use Witcher 3 Mod Manager (not Vortex).
It's a bit more tricky than most games, especially the Workshop, but these mods are much better than what you would typically find in the Workshop.

i thought vortex replaced nexus mods?

Also if i do not want a installer like vortex or nexus mods do people manually download the mod file and place it in the install directory in a newly created "MODS" folder, meaning copy n paste or drag the mod file in to the mod folder and then the mod works?


cheers

it's recommended you install manually & read the install instructions.
Then you use standalone script merger to merge scripts, see conflicts and can be used to sort load order.

does the script merger sort the load order by itself?

No, it only check for conflicts and merging scripts files, you have to set order for it by creating mods.settings notepad files or change the name of mods, the game will load alphabetically

What's wrong with Vortex? I'm using it and have no problems so far.

it's true for most graphics mods and everything related, you just dump the mod in that folder, but for gameplay or bugfixes mods, you'll gotta follow mod authors to know where to put it.
