This tweak enhances the visibility and intensity of SSAO, RTAO, and HBAO, giving the game a Witcher 2 vibe. The RTAO is also darker. The config file has been increased for stronger SSAO and HBAO power, and can be tweaked in real-time via dll or by restarting the game. The AO should look more visible and pronounced and affects the RTX AO as well. There is also an optional file for a darker environment via HBAO, with some control over the AO power via the ini file.
You will need his amazing mod that lets us change config files in real time Witcher 3 4.00 Complete INI Settings List 

download the Setting auto-updater DLL and place it in x64 and x64_dx12 file location of the game

Download my config custom.ini and unpack in The Witcher 3\bin

for no dll use SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\The Witcher 3\bin\config\base palce it here or add it in rendering.ini






"To tweak a setting you can either copy the sections/values you want to edit into your Documents\The Witcher 3\dx12user.settings file, or you can create an INI inside your [installDir]\bin\config\platform\pc\ folder with the values you want inside it (filename of INI doesn't matter, but if you want to release it as a mod maybe pick something unique)"
