Varium: I'm buying or should I say already bought (waiting for shipment) Witcher2. So i'm asking what mods should I download for this game?
aglynne: For my money the tool tip mod is essential and the crafting weight reduction mod saves excessive hassle being over the weight limit without completely removing the need to sell excess stuff. I like the 30 min duration on potions even if I guess it is kind of a cheat and I guess the quest 'fix' mods can be useful if you accidently use up / miss an item.
Being that it's easy to add and remove mods I'd say try out any that you think sound interesting.
This is what I found most useful/enjoyable too. But, to each his own.
If you are using KB/M, check out

really like the mouse over feature.
You ought to play a while into ch. 1 at least to know what works and doesn't for you in the vanilla form. However, I can think of absolutely no reason to not use the tooltip mod.

Regarding weight restrictions:
I still use a mod to increase carry capacity. Honestly, now that I know what I need and don't, including how many orens, it is unnecessary. (I accidentally set it back to original and didn't notice until 3/4 through Ch. 1.) Some people may be patient and/or smart enough to use default inventory limitations from the get-go. Not I.
