How to Install Cyberpunk 2077 Mods

  1. First and foremost, always back up your files before installing mods because you never know when something might go wrong. 
  2. To use mods in Cyberpunk 2077, players must first download a mod manager. Reliable options include Vortex Nexus Mod Manager and Mod Organizer 2. 
  3. Cyberpunk 2077 allows native modding with the help of REDmod, but players have to install and enable it manually. To install the REDmod, players can find it as a free DLC on Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG. 
  4. To enable it on Steam and Epic Games Store, launch Cyberpunk 2077, click ‘Settings’ and select ‘Enable Mods’. For GOG, players must visit Cyberpunk 2077’s store page, click ‘Manage Installations’ and select ‘Configure’. Players can find an ‘Enable Mods’ option in this page’s ‘Features’ tab. 
  5. Then, head to NexusMods and select the mod you want to use. Each mod has a set of requirements that must be fulfilled for the Cyberpunk 2077 mod to run. Requirements are mods or other files crucial for the chosen mod to work correctly. 
  6. For example, if players want to download the Edgerunners Lucy Outfit Mod through Nexus Mods, they would need other mods as requirements, such as ArchiveXL, Cyber Engine Tweaks, and TweakXL. The requirements differ for every mod, so make sure to have them installed before trying to run it. 
  7. Now that you have downloaded the mods you want, you need to unzip the files using an unarchiving tool like WinRAR, WinZip, 7-Zip, or another. 
  8. Now, all you need to do is paste these files into Cyberpunk 2077’s game directory by accessing the game’s ‘Properties’, clicking on ‘Local Files’ and then selecting ‘Browse Local Files’. You can access files and follows such as ‘archive’, ‘r6’, and more here. 
  9. Each mod needs players to carefully paste multiple files across various folders, so read and follow the instructions provided on the Nexus Mods page. 
  10. After you’ve completed the whole process, load up the game and check whether the mod is doing its job.
