Geralt Cloak

witcher-3 — Mods & Enhancements

Adds a fully animated, physics-enabled cloak to Geralt's back, inspired by the cinematic trailers and storybook art. It includes multiple variants (hooded, unhooded, different materials like leather and wool) that toggle via a hotkey, and it drapes realistically over his armor and swords. Players install it for immersive roleplay and to recreate that iconic wandering witcher look from the promo materials, without replacing any existing armor models.

🎯 Tips & Tricks

Toggle the cloak in combat

Default hotkey is 'C' — press it once to put the cloak on, again to take it off. To assign a different key, open the mod menu via 'Mods' -> 'Geralt Cloak' in the pause menu, then rebind under 'Key Bindings'. This prevents clipping during sword draws.

Fix clipping with large shoulder armor

If wearing Ursine or Manticore grandmaster armor, edit the file 'mods/modGeraltCloak/config.xml' and set 'ShoulderPadding' to 0.08 and 'CloakLength' to 0.85. This reduces cloth penetration on the pauldrons without breaking the physics mesh.

Make the hood toggle separately

Open the mod's config file 'mods/modGeraltCloak/config.xml' and set 'HoodToggle' to 'true'. Then in-game, hold the 'V' key (or your chosen key) for 1 second to raise/lower the hood while leaving the cloak on. Useful for rain or stealth scenes.

🔧 Troubleshooting

Cloak physics jitter or teleporting when using 'Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition' (W3EE) because it changes Geralt's animation speed and dodge mechanics.

Install the patch 'Geralt Cloak W3EE Compatibility' from Nexus. If unavailable, manually edit 'mods/modGeraltCloak/animations/player.ws' and replace all 'dodge' animation events with 'dodge_slow' to match W3EE's timings.

Cloak disappears after loading a save with 'Brothers in Arms' mod that adds custom sword holsters.

Load order fix: place 'Geralt Cloak' ABOVE 'Brothers in Arms' in the mod list. Then in the game, unequip and re-equip the cloak via the hotkey to force the physics system to re-sync with the new holster meshes.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Players often install the cloak and forget to set 'CloakCollision' to 'true' in the config, causing the cloak to clip through walls and NPCs during cutscenes — this breaks immersion because the cloth ignores world geometry.
Many users try to use the cloak with 'Ghost Mode' without patching, which results in the cloak's stamina drain (if enabled) conflicting with Ghost Mode's rebalanced stamina — leading to instant exhaustion during sprint.
