The best Cyberpunk mods are Equipment-EX for transmog, New Game Plus – Native, Let There Be Flight’s flying cars and the Dark Future survival overhaul, and six free frameworks that almost every other mod needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, RED4ext, redscript, ArchiveXL, TweakXL and Codeware. These 100 mods for Cyberpunk 2077 on PC are the most loved on Nexus Mods, all free from their creators’ pages and grouped by what they change. On PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2, mods come only from the game’s built-in mod menu instead, which our console mods guide walks through.
REDmod, CD Projekt Red’s free official modding tool, is installed as a free DLC and is only needed for mods that say so. Every game patch breaks the script frameworks until their authors update them, so when a patch lands, update the frameworks first and check each creator’s page before loading a save.
Essential Cyberpunk Mods and Frameworks
1. Cyber Engine Tweaks
Cyber Engine Tweaks is the most endorsed Cyberpunk 2077 mod on Nexus Mods, with more than 19 million downloads. It is a scripting framework that lets modders write Lua mods with access to the game’s internal scripting, and it adds an in-game overlay with a console, keybinding menu and settings for the mods you run. Version 1.38.1, uploaded on October 26, 2026, is labeled for game version 2.5. You may need the latest Visual C++ Redistributable for it to start. Creator: yamashi. Download: Cyber Engine Tweaks on Nexus Mods.
2. RED4ext
RED4ext is Cyberpunk’s script extender, the same kind of tool as Skyrim’s SKSE. It loads native plugins that add new features and scripting functions to REDengine 4, and it is the backbone for ArchiveXL, TweakXL, Codeware and a long list of other mods. Install it once and forget it, but update it after every game patch: version 1.31.0 (October 24, 2026) is the minimum that ArchiveXL, TweakXL and Codeware now list for update 2.5. If you use REDmod alongside redscript, redscript’s page recommends RED4ext to fix a known compatibility issue. Creator: WopsS. Download: RED4ext on Nexus Mods.
3. redscript
redscript is a compiler for Cyberpunk’s scripting language, and it is what lets hundreds of small mods add or replace game scripts. Most of the quality-of-life tweaks further down this list are redscript files that drop into the r6/scripts folder. If something is not loading, its page points you to a log file at r6/logs/redscript.log, which ends with a success line when every script compiled. It is one of the three most endorsed mods for the game, and version 0.5.32 (October 22, 2026) added support for game patch 2.5. Creator: jac3km4. Download: redscript on Nexus Mods.
4. ArchiveXL
ArchiveXL loads custom resources without touching the original game files, so several mods can expand the same resources without conflicting. It is what makes new clothing, character customization options, attachment slots and localized text possible, which is why nearly every clothing and item mod lists it as a requirement. Version 1.28.0 (October 25, 2026) updated it for game patch 2.5, its page now lists compatibility with 2.5, and its newest file is version 1.28.6 (October 29, 2026). Creator: psiberx. Needs: RED4ext. Download: ArchiveXL on Nexus Mods.
5. TweakXL
TweakXL lets mods change TweakDB, the game’s internal database of items, stats and entity behavior, using simple YAML files instead of editing game data. Weapon rebalances, new items, vehicle stats and cyberware changes all tend to run through it, and because it is built for compatibility, several mods can tweak the same records. Version 1.12.0 (October 25, 2026) updated it for game patch 2.5, and its page now lists compatibility with 2.5. Creator: psiberx. Needs: RED4ext. Download: TweakXL on Nexus Mods.
6. Codeware
Codeware is a shared library for redscript and Cyber Engine Tweaks mods, giving modders tools for the world, entities, the player and the user interface. Its own page is refreshingly direct: if no mod you use requires it, you probably do not need it. In practice, many of the big mods on this list do. Version 1.21.0 (October 25, 2026) updated it for game patch 2.5, its newest file is version 1.21.2 (October 29, 2026), and its page lists 2.5 support alongside redscript 0.5.32 and Cyber Engine Tweaks 1.38.0 or newer. Creator: psiberx. Needs: RED4ext. Download: Codeware on Nexus Mods.
7. Input Loader
Input Loader lets mods add their own keybindings. It merges the input files that mods place in r6/input with the game’s configuration, so a mod can add a hotkey without overwriting the game’s control files or another mod’s. You will rarely notice it, but Let There Be Flight, Dark Future and several other picks here list it as a requirement, and Limited HUD uses it for its hotkeys. Its newest file, version 0.2.6 from October 26, 2026, is labeled “for 2.50”, meaning update 2.5. Creator: Jack Humbert. Needs: RED4ext. Download: Input Loader on Nexus Mods.
8. Mod Settings
Mod Settings adds a “Mod Settings” page to the main menu that any redscript mod can plug its options into, so you change settings in a proper menu instead of editing files. With more than 8 million downloads, it is the settings hub for a large share of the mods here, including Limited HUD, Wannabe Edgerunner and Let There Be Flight. Its newest file, version 0.2.28 from October 28, 2026, is labeled “for 2.50”, meaning update 2.5. Creator: Jack Humbert. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, ArchiveXL. Download: Mod Settings on Nexus Mods.
9. Native Settings UI
Native Settings UI does the same job for Cyber Engine Tweaks mods: it adds a “Mods” tab to the game’s own settings menu, with switches, sliders and keybinds that look like the vanilla menu and work with a controller. It is a listed requirement for current mods such as Stealthrunner, Night City Interactions and Sit Anywhere, and version 1.97 (October 22, 2026) updated it for patch 2.5. Creator: keanuWheeze. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks. Download: Native Settings UI on Nexus Mods.
10. Material and Texture Override
With more than 62,000 endorsements, Material and Texture Override is one of the ten most endorsed Cyberpunk 2077 mods on Nexus Mods. Its page says it lets the game load new materials and textures by nullifying the material database files that index them, and that it is required by anything that adds new files of that type, which is why so many appearance and texture mods list it. Both of its files were updated for update 2.0 in September 2023, and its page says it should not need updates for new patches unless CD Projekt Red changes how the game indexes materials. The page recommends the Legacy file over the REDmod one. Creator: Nim. Download: Material and Texture Override on Nexus Mods.
11. Browser Extension
Browser Extension is the framework behind custom websites on the in-game Net. Its page says it adds an entry point for new sites on the browser’s main page, NETdir://ncity.pub, and gathers every vanilla site the game defines in one place. Virtual Atelier and Virtual Car Dealer both list it as an optional requirement, it has more than 4 million downloads, and its latest file notes, from September 2025, say it was built for 2.3 and works with 2.31. As of November 4, 2026, it has no update for 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: r457 and gh057. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, Codeware (Mod Settings optional, for its in-game settings). Download: Browser Extension on Nexus Mods.
12. Deceptious Quest Core
Deceptious Quest Core is the shared hook behind Deceptious’s quest and immersion mods. Its page says it adds no content on its own: it lets several quest mods start from the same trigger without conflicting, and you activate any newly installed quest by leaving and re-entering V’s apartment in H10. Californication, One More Light and Idle Anywhere on this list all require it, and version 3.3.1 (October 22, 2026) updated it to match the game files that changed in update 2.5; its newest file is version 3.3.3 (October 27, 2026). Creator: Deceptious. Download: Deceptious Quest Core on Nexus Mods.
Quality of Life and UI
13. No Intro Videos
No Intro Videos removes the logo videos so the game opens straight to the main menu. An optional file goes further and loads your last save automatically. Its page also recommends the –launcher-skip and -skipStartScreen launch options to skip the launcher and the “Breaching” screen, which together cut a surprising amount of waiting from every session. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file (October 2025) predates update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: DJ_Kovrik. Needs: redscript, for the redscript version (a separate archive version needs nothing else). Download: No Intro Videos on Nexus Mods.
14. Limited HUD
Limited HUD hides the main HUD widgets (minimap, quest tracker, health bar, weapon roster, world markers and more) and brings each one back only when it matters: in combat, while scanning, sneaking or driving. You choose the conditions per widget. It also adds a global toggle hotkey (F8 by default) and a separate minimap toggle (F6), which makes it a favorite for screenshots and immersion runs. Version 2.23.0 (October 25, 2026) added basic compatibility with patch 2.5, and version 2.23.1 followed on October 27, 2026. Creator: DJ_Kovrik. Needs: redscript 0.5.31 or newer; RED4ext, ArchiveXL, Input Loader and Mod Settings are listed as optional, for its settings menu and hotkeys. Download: Limited HUD on Nexus Mods.
15. Better Loot Markers
Better Loot Markers replaces the generic loot marker with icons that show what a container holds (weapons, armor, eddies and so on), colored by the best quality inside. Version 1.4.0 (March 2026) was updated for patch 2.31 and added a scanner-only mode and item count badges; as of November 4, 2026, its newest file, version 1.4.1 (October 31, 2026), is its first since update 2.5, though its notes do not name a game version. Its page says it also fixes two vanilla bugs, including ammo markers not showing on dead bodies. Creator: rodikh. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks. Download: Better Loot Markers on Nexus Mods.
16. Autoloot
Autoloot picks up whatever loot is in your view at the press of a key, including bodies that do not show loot markers, with continuous and burst modes for clearing a room. It is careful about what it takes: per its page, it skips quest items, iconic weapons and turrets, and it will not run during dialogue, scenes or scanning. Version 3.12.0 (October 23, 2026) updated it for game version 2.5, and the notes on its newest file, version 3.12.1 (October 31, 2026), list support for 1.61 through 2.5x. Creator: keanuWheeze and anygoodname. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks. Download: Autoloot on Nexus Mods.
17. Smarter Scrapper
Cyberpunk throws loot at you constantly, and Smarter Scrapper stops your backpack from filling with junk. It automatically disassembles clothes, weapons, mods, grenades and healing items when you pick them up, based on quality thresholds you set, so you get crafting components instead of a weight problem. Pair it with Autoloot and looting becomes nearly hands-off. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file (March 2026) predates update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: DJ_Kovrik. Needs: redscript (Mod Settings and RED4ext are optional, for the in-game settings menu). Download: Smarter Scrapper on Nexus Mods.
18. Revised Backpack
Revised Backpack adds a new inventory screen to the hub menu that works like a spreadsheet: sortable columns for type, tier, price, weight, DPS and range, category tabs, name and ammo-type search, and item previews. It also supports mass junk marking and mass disassembly, and it keeps all the vanilla backpack functions. Version 0.9.17 (October 25, 2026) updated it for patch 2.5. Creator: DJ_Kovrik. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, ArchiveXL, Codeware, Input Loader (Mod Settings optional). Download: Revised Backpack on Nexus Mods.
19. Stash Filters
Stash Filters adds category filters to your apartment stash, so finding one weapon in a stash full of trophies takes seconds instead of a long scroll. Until update 2.5 added item filters to apartment and vehicle stashes, the vanilla stash had none, so on the current patch, try the built-in filters first. The mod is a single script file with more than 1.5 million downloads, last updated in March 2026, before those built-in filters arrived, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: DJ_Kovrik. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, Codeware. Download: Stash Filters on Nexus Mods.
20. Enhanced Craft
Enhanced Craft adds new controls to the crafting menu so you can pick a weapon’s skin and give it a custom name. You can even craft weapons with iconic-looking skins, though they are cosmetic only and cost five times the ingredients by default. A randomizer option picks a variant for you if you prefer surprises. It affects weapon crafting only. As of November 4, 2026, its newest files, versions 4.1.0 and 4.1.1 (October 26 and 29, 2026), came after update 2.5, though their notes do not name a game version. Creator: DJ_Kovrik. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, TweakXL, Codeware, Input Loader (ArchiveXL and Mod Settings optional, for the in-game settings menu). Download: Enhanced Craft on Nexus Mods.
21. Clear Skill Checks
When you pass a dialogue skill check, the vanilla game only shows your own attribute level, so you never learn how close the check was. Clear Skill Checks shows the required value too, the same way the game does when you fail. It is tiny, but it makes it far easier to judge whether pouring points into Cool or Body is worth it. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file (November 2025) predates update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: RMK. Needs: redscript. Download: Clear Skill Checks on Nexus Mods.
22. In-World Navigation
In-World Navigation projects holographic arrows into the world that follow the same route as the dots on your minimap, so you can drive or walk to an objective without staring at the corner of the screen. It pairs well with Limited HUD for a clean screen. Settings live in the Mod Settings menu, and its newest file, version 0.1.25 from October 27, 2026, is labeled “for 2.50”, meaning update 2.5. Creator: Jack Humbert. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, Mod Settings. Download: In-World Navigation on Nexus Mods.
23. Always First Equip
The first time V draws a new weapon, the game plays a flashy equip animation, and then never again. Always First Equip brings it back on a configurable chance (50% by default) and adds a hotkey (F2 by default) that triggers weapon inspection animations. A second hotkey switches between ready and lowered weapon positions. With nearly 30,000 endorsements, it is one of the most popular pure-style mods, and version 2.2.0 (October 24, 2026) updated it for patch 2.5, including first-equip animations for dual-wielded weapons. Creator: DJ_Kovrik. Needs: redscript (RED4ext, ArchiveXL, Input Loader and Mod Settings are listed as optional). Download: Always First Equip on Nexus Mods.
24. Real Vendor Names
Real Vendor Names swaps the generic labels on vendor map icons for the actual names of the shops and the people who run them, so you can tell Viktor’s clinic from any other ripperdoc at a glance. It is a single redscript file with more than 2 million downloads. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file is from December 2023 and its page does not name a supported game version, so check the page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: DJ_Kovrik. Needs: redscript. Download: Real Vendor Names on Nexus Mods.
25. Immersive Timeskip
Immersive Timeskip adds a hotkey (O by default on a keyboard, rebindable) that brings up a customized version of the game’s wait widget and fast-forwards time while you keep watching the world around V, instead of cutting to a static menu. Press the hotkey again and the timeskip stops at once. Its page credits The Witcher 3’s Friendly Meditation mod as the inspiration, and it has more than 2 million downloads. Version 2.2.3 (October 25, 2026) updated it for patch 2.5. Creator: DJ_Kovrik. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, Input Loader. Download: Immersive Timeskip on Nexus Mods.
26. Hide Read Shards
Night City is littered with shards, and the ones you have already read stay in the world. Hide Read Shards removes world-placed shards you have already read, and its page says it leaves any shard with a quest flag alone, so you stop detouring to the same lore twice. It is a single redscript file with more than 1.7 million downloads. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file (January 2026) predates update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: DJ_Kovrik. Needs: redscript. Download: Hide Read Shards on Nexus Mods.
27. Custom Quickslots
Custom Quickslots adds a row of quickslots to the bottom of the screen for food, drinks, boosters, healing items, grenades and cyberware abilities, so you can eat, pop a booster, switch healing items or throw a different grenade without opening the weapon wheel. Everything is set up from an in-game menu, and its page says it fully supports gamepads as well as keyboard and mouse. Version 5.7.1 (October 25, 2026) updated it for patch 2.5. Creator: RMK. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, RED4ext, redscript, Codeware, Native Settings UI (Input Loader for gamepad use). Download: Custom Quickslots on Nexus Mods.
28. Filter Saves by Lifepath and Type
Filter Saves by Lifepath and Type adds filter buttons to the save and load menus, so you can show only one lifepath’s saves or only manual, auto, quick or point-of-no-return saves, and a search bar that filters saves by the quest you were tracking. Update 2.5 now groups saves by playthrough in the game’s own Load Game menu, which covers part of what this mod does. Version 1.7.0 (October 25, 2026) updated the mod for patch 2.5, and version 1.7.1 (October 28) fixed compatibility with Named Saves. Creator: RMK. Needs: redscript, Codeware (Cyber Engine Tweaks and Native Settings UI only to change its options). Download: Filter Saves on Nexus Mods.
29. Quickhack Hotkeys
Quickhack Hotkeys lets you select and fire quickhacks with the keyboard number keys instead of scrolling through the quickhack list, which makes a netrunner build far quicker to play on mouse and keyboard. Its page says it supports the quickhack chaining added in update 2.0, and version 2.3.3 (October 25, 2026) updated it for patch 2.5. Creator: DJ_Kovrik. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, ArchiveXL, Input Loader (Mod Settings optional, for rebinding the hotkeys in game). Download: Quickhack Hotkeys on Nexus Mods.
30. Untrack Quest Ultimate
Untrack Quest Ultimate lets you untrack the current objective during gameplay or in menus and track it back if you change your mind, and its page says it stops the game from re-tracking the main quest and from auto-tracking fixer reward quests. It also patches a map bug that, per its page, arrived with update 2.3 and stopped you from untracking markers such as vendors and NCPD activities. Version 3.5.2 (October 25, 2026) was its first file since update 2.5, and its newest, version 3.6.0 (November 1, 2026), is listed for game version 2.x. Creator: anygoodname. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks. Download: Untrack Quest Ultimate on Nexus Mods.
Gameplay and Combat
31. Cyberware-EX
Cyberware-EX adds extra cyberware slots, unlocked through perks or, in its optional override mode, bought from ripperdocs for 10,000 eddies each. It also lets you combine implants the game normally keeps apart, such as a Cyberdeck, Sandevistan and Berserk on one character. It is the successor to the older System-EX, and version 1.6.0 (October 25, 2026) updated it for game patch 2.5. Creator: psiberx. Needs: redscript, TweakXL, Codeware. Download: Cyberware-EX on Nexus Mods.
32. Stealthrunner
Stealthrunner adds optional objectives such as Ghost, Shadow, Pacifist and No-Touch to nearly every main quest, side job, gig and NCPD hustle, then rewards you with XP, Street Cred, money and recipes for pulling them off. Hitting enough objectives unlocks a new stealth perk tree with abilities like pickpocketing. Phantom Liberty missions are supported. Version 1.11.2 (October 25, 2026) was a small update for patch 2.5, and version 1.11.4 (November 3, 2026) fixes possible crashes. Creator: RMK. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, RED4ext, redscript, ArchiveXL, TweakXL, Codeware, Input Loader, Native Settings UI. Download: Stealthrunner on Nexus Mods.
33. Wannabe Edgerunner
Wannabe Edgerunner brings back the idea of Humanity: a stat that drops as you use cyberware and kill enemies. Let it fall too low and V suffers glitches, debuffs and eventually cyberpsychosis, which boosts speed and armor but can bring the police down on you. Sleeping, showering or taking the new Neuroblockers restores it. It uses heavy flashing effects, and its page offers a Photosensitive mode. Version 3.0.1 (October 25, 2026) updated it for patch 2.5. Creator: DJ_Kovrik. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, ArchiveXL, TweakXL, Codeware, Mod Settings. Download: Wannabe Edgerunner on Nexus Mods.
34. Damage Scaling and Balance
Even Very Hard can get easy once a build comes together, and Damage Scaling and Balance lets you build a custom difficulty. You set damage multipliers for NPCs and for V on a curve across levels 1 to 60, pick from presets such as the author’s own balanced preset, and adjust stamina use and other settings from an in-game menu. It works just as well for making the game easier. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file (April 2026) predates update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: RMK. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, redscript, Native Settings UI. Download: Damage Scaling and Balance on Nexus Mods.
35. Stealth Finishers
Stealth Finishers turns melee weapon finishers into stealth takedowns, and it lets you take enemies down without grabbing them first, so a katana or knife build gets its own brutal silent kills. As of November 4, 2026, its page still lists support for patch 2.31, with no 2.5 update yet, though the author notes that game updates almost never break it once the frameworks are updated. The current release is labeled beta. Creator: Kvalyr. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, RED4ext, redscript (Enable Finisher Ragdolls recommended). Download: Stealth Finishers on Nexus Mods.
36. Reset Attributes Always Available
This mod makes attribute respecs unlimited, so you can rebuild V as often as you like while experimenting with builds. Per its page, it works even if you have already used a respec before installing it. It is a single redscript file with more than 1.6 million downloads, and a REDmod version is linked from the same page. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file (July 2026) predates update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: yakuzadeso. Needs: redscript. Download: Reset Attributes Always Available on Nexus Mods.
37. Dark Future
Dark Future is a full urban survival overhaul, built to feel like part of the base game. It adds basic needs, a Nerve system tied to anxiety, and addiction mechanics, and it gives you real reasons to go home to an apartment to rest. Individual systems can be switched off. Version 3.0.0 (October 25, 2026) is a major update for update 2.5 only that needs the 2.5 versions of its frameworks, and its file notes say to uninstall version 2.x completely before installing it, after which a save that ran 2.x can carry on. Phantom Liberty is supported but not required. Mature content. Creator: Dark Fortune Teller. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, ArchiveXL, TweakXL, Codeware, Input Loader (Mod Settings optional). Download: Dark Future on Nexus Mods.
38. Silent Silencers and Throwing Knives
Per this mod’s page, the vanilla game puts every enemy into combat when you shoot one from stealth with a silenced gun or a throwing knife and fail to kill it. Silent Silencers and Throwing Knives changes that: enemies may still be alerted and search for you, but you stay hidden and can keep picking them off. By default, attacking from within 2 meters still triggers combat, and failing a one-shot kill removes your cover protection, both configurable in its menu. Version 1.6.3 (October 25, 2026) is a small update for patch 2.5 that accounts for dual wielding in some cases. Creator: RMK. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, RED4ext, redscript, ArchiveXL, TweakXL, Native Settings UI. Download: Silent Silencers and Throwing Knives on Nexus Mods.
39. Ragdoll Physics Overhaul
Ragdoll Physics Overhaul revamps the flexibility and self-collision of ragdolls, so the enemies you drop fall into more believable and varied poses. Its page offers an easy test: if a body’s legs spread apart as it falls, the mod is working, because unmodded legs only bend forward or back. Optional files add experimental lower ragdoll friction and a mode that skips death animations. As of November 4, 2026, its page’s latest status note (January 2025) says it works on version 2.2 with no update needed and its newest file is from January 2024, so it may not work on the current patch until its creator updates it. Creator: SketchCritic. Download: Ragdoll Physics Overhaul on Nexus Mods.
40. Enable Finisher Ragdolls
The base game switches off ragdoll physics and collisions for enemies killed by a finisher, which its page says makes them behave like statically animated enemies from a 1999 shooter. Enable Finisher Ragdolls removes that check so the bodies fall naturally, and its page is blunt that this is all it does. Stealth Finishers, also on this list, recommends it. As of November 4, 2026, its page lists game version 2.0 and its only file dates from October 2023, so it may not work on the current patch until its creator updates it. Creator: Kvalyr. Needs: redscript (its page calls RED4ext a soft requirement). Download: Enable Finisher Ragdolls on Nexus Mods.
41. Zoomable Scopes
Zoomable Scopes adds extra zoom levels to scoped weapons that you cycle through while aiming down sights, and you choose how many levels there are, how far each one zooms and which weapons get them. Its page says it needs no hotkeys and works with a controller. Version 1.5 (October 26, 2026) updated it for patch 2.5 and added support for dual-wielding. Creator: keanuWheeze. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, Native Settings UI. Download: Zoomable Scopes on Nexus Mods.
42. Time Dilation Overhaul
Time Dilation Overhaul reworks the Sandevistan operating system to suit playstyles from aggressive ranged to defensive melee, with new abilities its page lists as rewind, mark and execute, teleportation and 360-degree ricochets. Enemies get their own time dilation tiers and use them to counter yours, scanner time dilation is no longer unlimited and scales with Intelligence, and it adds new operating systems beyond the Sandevistan. Its creators released version 2.36 on October 19, 2026, before update 2.5, and three more files since; as of November 4, 2026, the newest is version 2.38.1 (October 30, 2026), though its file notes do not name a game version. Creator: The Cyberpunk THING Team and Friends. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, RED4ext, redscript, ArchiveXL, TweakXL, Codeware (Native Settings UI strongly recommended, Audioware optional). Download: Time Dilation Overhaul on Nexus Mods.
43. Extra Iconics
Extra Iconics is a bundle of 17 new iconic weapons hidden around Night City: some are sold at weapon shops or unusual vendors, and some sit in places you have to explore to reach, according to its page. They come with new appearances, visual effects and original gameplay effects, including a new weapon type, and its page says the bundle should cover every weapon that lacked an iconic variant in the base game. It replaces its creator’s older standalone iconic weapons, and version 2.1.2 (October 25, 2026) updated it for update 2.5; its newest file, version 2.3.1 (November 1, 2026), says every requirement must be on its latest version. Creator: Seijax. Needs: redscript, ArchiveXL, TweakXL, Codeware, Trigger Mode Control. Download: Extra Iconics on Nexus Mods.
44. Unlock Me The Mods
Unlock Me The Mods lets you unequip weapon mods, which the vanilla game treats as permanent, and the scopes on sniper rifles. Its page says mods and scopes are retrieved automatically when you sell, drop or disassemble a weapon, so a good attachment is never lost to a vendor, and a REDmod version is offered as an optional file. As of November 4, 2026, its newest files date from late 2023 and its page does not name a game version, so check the page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: tduality. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, TweakXL. Download: Unlock Me The Mods on Nexus Mods.
45. Melee Attacks Fixes and Enhancements
Melee Attacks Fixes and Enhancements corrects melee attacks whose direction does not match the animation (deflect attacks are the most common case, its page says), restores missing sound effects and the dismemberment on axe finishers, and adds combo options after deflects, blocks and jump attacks. Version 0.4 improved how attacks scale with attack speed, so blade leaps and finishers no longer miss on fast builds, and its page says it works on 2.31. As of November 4, 2026, it has no update for 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: sosuinepsixuyu. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, RED4ext, redscript, TweakXL. Download: Melee Attacks Fixes and Enhancements on Nexus Mods.
46. JB Third Person Mod
JB Third Person Mod is the long-running attempt to let you play Cyberpunk 2077 in third person on foot. It adds a third-person camera with collisions and a 360-degree orbit, and by default it switches back to first person when you draw a weapon (a weaponOverride option in its debug menu changes that). Its page still calls it a work in progress and lists animation issues and wide shoulders as known problems. As of November 4, 2026, its newest build (V133) arrived in July 2025 for update 2.3 and its page does not mention 2.31, so it may not work on the current patch until its creator updates it. Creator: Jelle Bakker. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks. Download: JB Third Person Mod on Nexus Mods.
Progression, Cyberware and New Game Plus
47. New Game Plus – Native
Cyberpunk 2077 has no official New Game Plus, and New Game Plus – Native is built to feel like the one CD Projekt Red never made. It carries over your level (capped at 50, or 40 without Phantom Liberty), attributes, perks, Relic points, inventory, stash, cyberware, most of your garage and your wardrobe, then starts a new game either from rescuing Sandra Dorsett or after The Heist. Its page says saves made on patch 2.0 or later qualify, and versions 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 (both October 25, 2026) fixed it for patch 2.5; its file notes say to update every core framework first. Creator: not_alphanine. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, ArchiveXL, TweakXL, Codeware, Mod Settings. Download: New Game Plus – Native on Nexus Mods.
48. Simple XP Multiplier
Simple XP Multiplier lets you set separate multipliers for every kind of experience, from level and Street Cred to each skill such as Headhunter, Netrunner, Shinobi, Solo and Engineer, in an in-game menu you can change at any time. Set a value above 1 to speed up a replay, or below 1 to stretch out progression. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file is a December 2023 fix for patch 2.1, so it may not work on the current patch until its creator updates it. Creator: RMK. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, Native Settings UI. Download: Simple XP Multiplier on Nexus Mods.
49. Lifepath Bonuses and Gang-Corp Traits
Lifepath Bonuses and Gang-Corp Traits gives every gang and corporation its own combat flavor through resistances, weaknesses and damage traits, and gives V bonuses and penalties against each faction based on your lifepath. Its creator built it after seeing a mod that removed the Tyger Claws’ smart gun jammer and wanting the opposite: more reasons to change your playstyle. Everything is configurable in a menu, and Enemies of Night City’s page notes the two mods conflict unless you switch off this one’s enemy changes. Version 4.3.3 (October 25, 2026) was a small update for patch 2.5, and version 4.3.4 (November 3, 2026) fixes possible crashes. Creator: RMK. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, redscript, Native Settings UI. Download: Lifepath Bonuses and Gang-Corp Traits on Nexus Mods.
50. RipperDeck
RipperDeck lets you manage cyberware from the Cyberware screen in the Hub menu just as you would at a ripperdoc, so you can rearrange V’s implants without a trip to a clinic. It is psiberx’s successor to an older Cyber Engine Tweaks version of the same idea, and its page now lists support for every patch from 2.12a through 2.5. Creator: psiberx. Needs: redscript. Download: RipperDeck on Nexus Mods.
51. Kiroshi Optics Night Vision Mod
Kiroshi Optics Night Vision Mod adds a toggleable night vision mode to Kiroshi optics of level 3 and higher, with custom keybinds for keyboard and controller, which is handy in the game’s darker interiors and on Badlands nights. A later update let modded eye cyberware support it too. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file, version 2.1 (November 3, 2026), came after update 2.5, though its notes do not name a game version. Creator: keanuWheeze. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, Codeware, Native Settings UI. Download: Kiroshi Optics Night Vision Mod on Nexus Mods.
Enemies, Police and Crowds
52. Enemies of Night City
Enemies of Night City overhauls every enemy in the game, bosses included, with new stats, abilities, movesets and animations, so each faction has its own strengths and weaknesses and scanning before a fight matters. Its page warns that many main bosses now attack and move very fast (Smasher can keep up with your Sandevistan) and that the written description is out of date, with a pinned post holding current details. As of November 4, 2026, its main file dates from July 2024, with a test version from March 2025, and its page does not mention 2.31, so it may not work on the current patch until its creator updates it. Creator: viperc48. Needs: Phantom Liberty, Cyber Engine Tweaks, redscript, Native Settings UI. Download: Enemies of Night City on Nexus Mods.
53. Fighting Gangs Allowed – Reasonable Police
Its page describes a familiar problem: fight gangs in the open world, even to help the NCPD in a random encounter, and the police often turn hostile. Fighting Gangs Allowed – Reasonable Police stops fighting gangs from counting as a crime, so officers stay on your side while you shoot it out. Its page says it changes only minimal police behavior, so it should work alongside larger overhauls. As of November 4, 2026, its only file dates from January 2025 and its page does not name a game version, so check the page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: Valour549. Needs: redscript. Download: Fighting Gangs Allowed on Nexus Mods.
54. Talk to Me
Talk to Me makes Night City’s crowds chat to V as you walk past or stand nearby, instead of staying silent. The effect is deliberately subtle, and a config file lets you widen or narrow the field of view NPCs use to notice you, which its page says only affects this ambient dialogue and not combat or stealth. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file (version 1.3, June 2026) predates update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: Joe Parker. Needs: redscript. Download: Talk to Me on Nexus Mods.
55. Kiroshi Opticals – Crowd Scanner
Kiroshi Opticals – Crowd Scanner generates a backstory for every crowd NPC you scan and shows it in a new section of the scanner panel, so a random passerby gets a hometown, a past and a few secrets. Its page says the background takes the NPC’s appearance into account, while combatants keep the usual scanner details. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file was updated for 2.0 and Phantom Liberty in October 2023, so it may not work on the current patch until its creators update it. Creator: Alien and BadAssGodFather. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, Codeware. Download: Crowd Scanner on Nexus Mods.
Immersion and Night City Life
56. Immersive First Person
Immersive First Person shows more of V’s body when you look down, so you actually see your outfit in first person, and it adds FreeLook: hold a key to look around without turning V. A height slider in the Cyber Engine Tweaks overlay changes V’s visible height, which is visual only. Version 2.2.0 (October 25, 2026) updated it for 2.5, and its page says this version supports Cyberpunk 2077 2.5. Creator: Bonaniki. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, RED4ext, redscript. Download: Immersive First Person on Nexus Mods.
57. Night City Interactions
Night City Interactions is the core of a set of district add-ons that let V stop for a drink with a partner at spots like Tom’s Diner, the Afterlife and Lizzie’s, or sit alone and take in the city. The core alone includes an Edgerunners Tour quest that visits locations from each episode of the anime. Add-ons only load when you are nearby. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file, version 4.1.1 (October 28, 2026), came after update 2.5, but its notes still say it is compatible with the 2.31 world data, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: Deceptious. Needs: RED4ext, ArchiveXL, TweakXL, Codeware, Native Settings UI. Download: Night City Interactions on Nexus Mods.
58. Night City Alive
Night City Alive makes the streets more dangerous and less static. Gang members join traffic, motorbikes appear on the roads, and civilians and the NCPD react to crimes (including gang crimes, not just yours), and police react based on gang affiliation. You choose a low, standard or high density version, and version 2.3 of all three arrived on October 4, 2026. After update 2.5, its creator swapped the REDmod downloads for temporary Lite versions (2.3.1, October 24, 2026) while working through the changes 2.5 made, and their file notes say the enhanced reactions are switched off for now. It installs through REDmod and requires Phantom Liberty. Creator: Katane. Needs: REDmod, Phantom Liberty. Download: Night City Alive on Nexus Mods.
59. Sit Anywhere
Sit Anywhere lets V sit on almost any bench, chair or couch in Night City, not just the few the game allows. Walk up to a seat and hold the scan key while looking at it, and a sit prompt appears. It does not work while you are wanted or in combat. It is a small mod that pairs naturally with photo mode and a slow evening in Japantown. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file (November 2025) predates update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: keanuWheeze. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks (Native Settings UI optional). Download: Sit Anywhere on Nexus Mods.
60. Idle Anywhere
Idle Anywhere lets V smoke, drink or eat while standing still anywhere in the world. If you have matching food or drinks in your inventory, the usual effects apply; if not, the action is cosmetic. You activate it once by visiting V’s starting apartment, then use it from the radial menu or a sprint-key shortcut. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file (July 2026) predates update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: Deceptious. Needs: Deceptious Quest Core, RED4ext, redscript, TweakXL, Radial Menu Upgrade (linked on its page). Download: Idle Anywhere on Nexus Mods.
61. Immersive Food Vendors
In the vanilla game, buying from a street food stall just drops an item in your backpack. Immersive Food Vendors lets V actually eat there, with animated snacks such as burgers, sushi, hot dogs and sandwiches. Each costs eddies and gives the same Well Fed effect as the consumables. Its author says it is fully compatible with Night City Interactions. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file (January 2026) predates update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: Deceptious. Needs: RED4ext, ArchiveXL, TweakXL. Download: Immersive Food Vendors on Nexus Mods.
62. Immersive Bartenders
Immersive Bartenders does the same for every bartender in the city: order a drink and V drinks it at the bar, animation and all, for roughly the price of the bottled version and with the same effects. Its page rates compatibility risk as low, because it only edits scene files, and it has no requirements. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file (July 2025) predates update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: Deceptious. Download: Immersive Bartenders on Nexus Mods.
63. RadioExt
RadioExt lets you add your own radio stations to the game, playable in cars and on physical radios in the world. Making a station is as simple as copying songs into a folder and editing a small JSON file, or pointing it at a web stream, with no limits on song count or length. Many community station packs are built on it. Version 2.92 (October 25, 2026) updated it for patch 2.5. Creator: keanuWheeze. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, RED4ext. Download: RadioExt on Nexus Mods.
64. Pet Your Cat
Pet Your Cat does exactly what it says: once Nibbles lives in V’s apartment, you can greet her and then pet her while she is in the laundry basket or watching the holo-ads. It also fixes a bug where Nibbles never actually slept. With more than 1.8 million downloads, it is proof that the smallest mods are often the most loved. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file (September 2026) predates update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: Deceptious. Download: Pet Your Cat on Nexus Mods.
65. Simple Flashlight
Simple Flashlight gives V a toggleable flashlight, which earns its place in the game’s darker basements, sewers and Badlands nights, and with nearly 16,000 endorsements it is one of the most popular immersion mods for the game. Version 2.5 moved the controller binding to holding left on the D-pad to avoid accidental activations, and version 2.6 (October 26, 2026) updated the mod for patch 2.5 and added an optional Dynamic Mode that dims the beam and resizes its cone by distance to the nearest surface. Creator: keanuWheeze. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, Native Settings UI. Download: Simple Flashlight on Nexus Mods.
66. Immersive Rippers
Immersive Rippers makes V sit in the ripperdoc’s chair to get work done at clinics across Night City, instead of shopping from a menu at the counter. It also lets you pay Fingers an apology to regain access to his services and fixes some of the ripperdocs’ scenes. It covers every ripperdoc except Buck in Kabuki and Viktor, who has his own mod from the same creator, Immersive Vik, which its page says is fully compatible. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file, version 2.6.2 (October 28, 2026), came after update 2.5, but its notes still say it was made for world version 2.21, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: Deceptious. Needs: RED4ext, ArchiveXL, Codeware (for Ryder’s store). Download: Immersive Rippers on Nexus Mods.
67. V’s Edgerunners Mansion
V’s Edgerunners Mansion lets you buy and move into the mansion next to V’s apartment, the one seen in the Edgerunners anime, and reach it by elevator without a loading screen. It adds sitting, sleeping, showering and wardrobe interactions so it works as a full apartment, and its page says most containers inside stay locked to avoid problems with an ending that requires looting them. Version 2.0 (October 27, 2026) updated it for patch 2.5, reworked buying the mansion and its interactions, and added a new requirement, Native Interactions Framework. Creator: keanuWheeze. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, ArchiveXL, Native Interactions Framework. Download: V’s Edgerunners Mansion on Nexus Mods.
68. Stock Market and News System
Stock Market and News System adds a Stock Market tab to every computer, with 33 stocks you can buy and sell and 66 news stories, and both react to the quests you finish and the things you do. News stories also arrive as phone notifications, and the whole system uses the game’s own interface with controller support. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file is from February 2024 and its page does not name a game version, so check the page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: keanuWheeze and scornthegreat. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks. Download: Stock Market and News System on Nexus Mods.
69. GTA Travel
GTA Travel replaces fast travel loading screens with a real-time camera transition, similar to switching characters in GTA 5, and its settings let you change the speed and behavior. It also includes fast travel from anywhere options, which replaced its creator’s older Fast Travel From Anywhere mod. As of November 4, 2026, its latest file was updated for patch 2.0 in October 2023, so it may not work on the current patch until its creator updates it. Creator: keanuWheeze. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks. Download: GTA Travel on Nexus Mods.
70. Dance Off
Dance Off adds a “Dance with someone” option at five club dance floors (Totentanz, Riot, Empathy, 7th Hell and the Heavy Hearts Club), so V can dance with Judy, Panam, River, Kerry, Jackie, Johnny and others they are on good terms with. Its page says Phantom Liberty is only needed for the Heavy Hearts dance floor and for Reed, Alex and So Mi. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file is from December 2024 and its page does not name a game version, so check the page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: Deceptious. Needs: RED4ext, ArchiveXL. Download: Dance Off on Nexus Mods.
Clothing, Photo Mode and New Quests
71. Equipment-EX
Equipment-EX is the transmog system most players install: it adds more than 50 clothing slots, lets you save an unlimited number of named outfits, and converts your existing wardrobe sets the first time you load it. The outfit manager opens from a new Wardrobe button in the inventory or from V’s apartment wardrobe, and it works with vanilla and modded clothing. Its page lists compatibility with update 2.5 as well as 2.31. Creator: psiberx and DJ_Kovrik. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, ArchiveXL, TweakXL, Codeware. Download: Equipment-EX on Nexus Mods.
72. Virtual Atelier
Virtual Atelier lets clothing modders sell their items through virtual shops on the computer in V’s apartment, which is how most modded outfits reach your character. It also adds a preview window to regular vendors: press P in a shop to see clothing on V before you buy. With more than 7 million downloads, it is the most endorsed mod on this list outside the frameworks. Version 1.6.4 (October 25, 2026), uploaded after update 2.5, added dual-wield weapon previews to the virtual stores. Creator: Pacings and djkovrik. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, ArchiveXL, Codeware, Mod Settings (Browser Extension optional). Download: Virtual Atelier on Nexus Mods.
73. ACU – Character Preset Manager
ACU adds a preset manager to the character creator, so you can save V’s look, back it up, share it and reuse it in new playthroughs. It also unlocks every option at the mirror in your apartment, so you can change V’s appearance without a trip to a ripperdoc. Version 4.1.1 (November 1, 2026) added support for update 2.5, and its notes say to update ArchiveXL along with it. Creator: PotatoOfDoom. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, Codeware. Download: ACU on Nexus Mods.
74. Photo Mode Unlocker
Photo Mode Unlocker removes most of Photo Mode’s restrictions and adds new features and poses, and it doubles as a framework that other photo mods build on. It was updated for update 2.3, which added new NPCs to Photo Mode, and its page says it is working on version 2.3 and later; as of November 4, 2026, its newest file is still from July 2025. Creator: SilverEzredes. Needs: RED4ext, ArchiveXL, TweakXL. Download: Photo Mode Unlocker on Nexus Mods.
75. New Quest: Californication
Californication adds a full new quest built natively, so it plays like base game content, complete with its own waypoints, weather changes and even a fail state. It is a quiet, character-focused scene for players who romanced Judy, and it only triggers if specific conditions from her storyline are met (listed on its page). It uses the author’s Deceptious Quest Core as a shared quest hook. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file (March 2026) predates update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: Deceptious. Needs: Deceptious Quest Core, RED4ext, ArchiveXL. Download: Californication on Nexus Mods.
76. New Quest: One More Light
One More Light is another native quest from the same author, built for players who want a moment with Jackie Welles after the heist. It begins with a text from Mama Welles, reuses existing dialogue in a new structure, and leaves you something you can return to after it ends. Like Californication, it depends on a choice made early in the story, and its page lists the conditions. As of November 4, 2026, its newest files, versions 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 (October 27 and 28, 2026), came after update 2.5, though their notes do not name a game version. Creator: Deceptious. Needs: Deceptious Quest Core, RED4ext, ArchiveXL (General Shadows Fixes recommended). Download: One More Light on Nexus Mods.
77. PhotoMode-EX
PhotoMode-EX adds the controls Photo Mode is missing: a character appearance selector, rotation on three axes, finer position steps (0.01 instead of 0.05), Look At Camera and Snap To Terrain selectors, and NPCs that can use weapons from their own inventory. It also works as a framework for adding custom characters, remembers settings such as depth of field per save, and its page now lists support for Cyberpunk 2077 2.5, with version 1.5.0 (October 30, 2026) as its newest file. Creator: psiberx. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, Codeware. Download: PhotoMode-EX on Nexus Mods.
78. Arasaka Cyberarms
Arasaka Cyberarms gives V’s arm cyberware a new look, with replacement arms for male and female characters and many skins to choose from for mantis blades, gorilla arms, the projectile launcher and monowire. Later versions added the Zetatech arms worn by the Barghest in Phantom Liberty and tattoo removal options that cover the tattoos added in patch 2.2. Its file notes say it contains over 2,100 files and recommend installing it with Vortex, and version 4.8.1 (April 2025) is still its newest file as of November 4, 2026, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: Aanderz. Needs: Cyberarms Patch (version 1.1 or newer, per its file notes). Download: Arasaka Cyberarms on Nexus Mods.
Romance and Relationships
79. Judy Romanced Enhanced
Once you romance Judy, her page puts it bluntly: she is always at her window when you visit. Judy Romanced Enhanced, the most endorsed romance mod for the game, gives her a routine instead, hanging out and eating in her kitchen and sleeping in her bed at night, with the window still one of her spots. It includes hugs and an option to kiss her, and its page says it is fully compatible with the same creator’s River, Panam and Kerry mods. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file (August 2026) predates update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: Deceptious. Download: Judy Romanced Enhanced on Nexus Mods.
80. Panam Romanced Enhanced
Panam Romanced Enhanced fixes the buggy hugs and bed at the Aldecaldos’ new camp once you have romanced Panam, and gives her a routine: she drinks at the bar, eats take-out by the tables, plays on her phone and sleeps in her bed at night, and V can chat with or hug her at most of those spots. Its page says it also makes Saul much less stiff. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file, version 2.6.3 (October 28, 2026), came after update 2.5, though its notes do not name a game version. Creator: Deceptious. Needs: RED4ext, ArchiveXL, Codeware. Download: Panam Romanced Enhanced on Nexus Mods.
81. Romance Hangouts Enhanced
Update 2.1 added romance hangouts, where your partner can visit V’s apartments, and Romance Hangouts Enhanced is a collection of quality-of-life fixes for them. Its page lists repeatable sofa cuddles and kisses, a choice of slow or fast dancing, partners who no longer stop answering the phone as soon as they message you, and messaging logic that accounts for non-canon romances. Its creator still calls it a work in progress. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file (July 2026) predates update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: Deceptious. Needs: RED4ext, ArchiveXL. Download: Romance Hangouts Enhanced on Nexus Mods.
Vehicle and Driving Mods
82. Let There Be Flight
Let There Be Flight lets every vehicle in Night City fly, with custom thruster models, effects, sounds and a roof-mounted camera. Toggle flight with O or a left stick press, and switch between modes: Hover and Fly is the easiest, while Drone mode is the most advanced, suited to controllers and joysticks. Version 0.3.19 (October 25, 2026) is labeled “for 2.50”, meaning update 2.5, and version 0.3.20 followed on October 26. Creator: Jack Humbert. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, ArchiveXL, TweakXL, Input Loader (Mod Settings optional). Download: Let There Be Flight on Nexus Mods.
83. Better Vehicle Handling
Better Vehicle Handling is a single configuration file that makes cars and bikes less slippery and frustrating to drive, and it does not modify any game files. With more than 43,000 endorsements, it is one of the most endorsed driving mods for the game. Its last update was September 2024; its author says the 1.0 and later files support game version 2.0 onward unless a patch introduces breaking changes. Creator: RB. Download: Better Vehicle Handling on Nexus Mods.
84. Car Modification Shop
Car Modification Shop adds a physical upgrade garage in Northside, Watson. Drive one of your own vehicles into the marker and a native-looking menu lets you upgrade its performance, with upgrades saved in your save file. Its author says it is not compatible with Let There Be Flight, so pick one of the two. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file (October 2025) predates update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: Erok. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks. Download: Car Modification Shop on Nexus Mods.
85. Vehicle Summon Tweaks
Vehicle Summon Tweaks makes calling your car feel less like magic. Summoned vehicles spawn much closer, each summon costs 100 eddies, repairing a destroyed car costs 1,500 instead of 100, and a new Dismiss option sends your car away. It also sorts favorited vehicles alphabetically. With more than 2.7 million downloads, it is a quiet staple of immersion setups. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file (May 2026) predates update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: DJ_Kovrik. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, RED4ext, redscript, ArchiveXL, TweakXL, Input Loader. Download: Vehicle Summon Tweaks on Nexus Mods.
86. Virtual Car Dealer
Virtual Car Dealer adds a car shop to the computer in any of V’s apartments, the same way Virtual Atelier does for clothing, and lists every supported vehicle mod you have installed as a car you can buy, with its own price and Street Cred requirement. It adds no cars by itself, so you install car mods alongside it, and its creator’s Vehicle Pack mods are a good start. With more than 4.8 million downloads it is one of the most installed mods for the game, and version 2.3.0 (October 25, 2026), uploaded after update 2.5, improved its purchase flow and ownership checks. Creator: DJ_Kovrik. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, ArchiveXL, TweakXL, Codeware (Browser Extension optional). Download: Virtual Car Dealer on Nexus Mods.
87. Cyber Vehicle Overhaul
Cyber Vehicle Overhaul retunes every purchasable vehicle one by one, from horsepower and braking to suspension, gearing, top speed and tire behavior. Because each car is modified individually, its page says it stays compatible with your own tweaks and ini setups. Version 2.1 (July 2025) added the vehicles from updates 2.2 and 2.3, with the expansion cars in a separate DLC pack. As of November 4, 2026, it has no update for 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: Erok. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks. Download: Cyber Vehicle Overhaul on Nexus Mods.
88. Better Vehicle First Person
Better Vehicle First Person, from the creator of Immersive First Person, lets you move the first-person driving camera and change its field of view for a better view of the road, and save those settings as per-vehicle presets. It also adjusts steering wheel sensitivity per vehicle and adds a key to peek through the window behind you. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file is from March 2024 and its page does not name a game version, so check the page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: Bonaniki. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks. Download: Better Vehicle First Person on Nexus Mods.
Visuals and Weather
89. Nova LUT 4.0
Nova LUT replaces the game’s color grading with a new lookup table based on AgX tonemapping, for crisper detail, more natural colors and a pop of contrast. It is not a ReShade, and its page says it works with any version of the game. The author recommends pairing it with their Nova City 2 lighting mod. It is not compatible with other LUT mods. Creator: CyanideX. Download: Nova LUT 4.0 on Nexus Mods.
90. Ultra Plus
Ultra Plus is the go-to lighting and performance project for Cyberpunk, best known for fixing path-traced lights that do not cast, reflect or bounce as they should. Its latest version aims for physically accurate path tracing across the whole game, and it is updated constantly: on November 3, 2026, the finished version 10.1.0 became its main download, in separate files for game versions 2.5 and 2.31, and their file notes say to delete the old UltraTool plugin from the red4ext plugins folder first. Its page warns that copies on YouTube, GitHub or review sites are not official. Creator: SammiLucia. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, RED4ext, plus Loud Noises Fix for its LOD system (Cyberpunk Render Tweaks recommended). Download: Ultra Plus on Nexus Mods.
91. Cyberpunk 2077 HD Reworked Project
From the author of The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project, this mod reworks environment textures across Night City and the Badlands (roads, walls, terrain, graffiti and vegetation) at higher resolution while keeping the original art style. An Ultra version and a lighter Balanced version suit different graphics cards. It was last updated in October 2023; its page says it is compatible with update 2.1 and above and Phantom Liberty. Creator: Halk Hogan PL. Download: HD Reworked Project on Nexus Mods.
92. Weather Probability Rebalance
In the vanilla game, Night City keeps cycling back to sunny weather, which can last up to 15 hours. Weather Probability Rebalance redoes the weather transitions so that after every sunny spell you are on your way to rain, acid rain or a sandstorm, and it adjusts durations so the moody weather sticks around. It has no requirements, and version 2.10 (October 23, 2026) updated it for patch 2.5; its file notes say to skip time ahead 24 to 48 hours for the weather to start changing. Creator: RMK. Download: Weather Probability Rebalance on Nexus Mods.
93. Blur Begone
Blur Begone targets glass, plastic and other surfaces that are meant to be see-through but are smeared with blur, removing or reducing it so you get clear refraction and brighter reflections instead. Some items, such as curtains, get other material tweaks too, and its page notes that it does not need Material and Texture Override. Its creator released version 2.6.0 on October 26, 2026, after update 2.5, though its file notes do not name a game version. Creator: CyanideX. Download: Blur Begone on Nexus Mods.
94. FX Begone
FX Begone lets you switch off the game’s screen effects one by one, from Johnny’s glitches and fall damage effects to scope pixelation and, in Phantom Liberty, Songbird’s glitching and the Blackwall on screen. Version 2.2.0 (October 12, 2026) rebuilt it as a native plugin with more than 100 toggles in Mod Settings, all starting at vanilla, so it no longer replaces game files, and its page says to remove the old .archive version before installing. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file, version 2.3.0 (October 26, 2026), came after update 2.5, though its notes do not name a game version. Creator: CyanideX. Needs: RED4ext, redscript, Mod Settings (without it, every effect plays as vanilla). Download: FX Begone on Nexus Mods.
95. Preem Scanner
Preem Scanner removes the green tint and vignette from the scanner and gives it a cleaner look, with several versions to pick from, including a Pure version that strips out the extra shapes and effects and a vanilla scanner with only the vignette removed. Its creator recommends the Pure version alongside Limited HUD, and its page notes that LUT Switcher overrides its scanner colors. As of November 4, 2026, its newest files date from December 2024, before update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: CyanideX. Needs: nothing else (Clean Voiceovers is recommended). Download: Preem Scanner on Nexus Mods.
96. LUT Switcher 3
LUT Switcher 3 lets you change the game’s color grading in real time from an in-game menu, with LUT packs, categories, favorites and hotkeys, plus separate LUTs for photo mode and menus. Version 3 is a complete rewrite that works on the color grading pipeline through redscript, so version 2 packs do not work with it, and an optional pack adds more than 250 LUTs from the base game’s own files. With more than 3.2 million downloads it is the most downloaded visual mod on this list, and version 3.5.0 (October 25, 2026) updated it for game version 2.5. Creator: CyanideX. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, redscript, TweakXL, Codeware (ArchiveXL for add-on packs, Window Utils for its newer interface). Download: LUT Switcher 3 on Nexus Mods.
97. Nova City 2
Nova City 2 is a full weather and lighting overhaul from the creator of Nova LUT, with more than 50 weather states, natural transitions between them and reworked exposure. Its page says it is not compatible with other lighting, weather or ENV mods, so pick it or Weather Probability Rebalance, not both, and it supports the same creator’s ReLUX lighting add-on. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file (August 2026) predates update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: CyanideX. Needs: The Nullifier and Weather Switcher, both listed as required on its page (ReLUX, The Grid and Film Grain Fix are optional). Download: Nova City 2 on Nexus Mods.
Save Editors, Cheats and Free Camera
98. Save Editor (CyberCAT-SimpleGUI)
Save Editor is a standalone Windows program rather than an in-game mod: it opens your save files and lets you edit V’s level, Street Cred and attributes, inventory items (quantities, stats and mod slots, with a Make Legendary shortcut), quest facts and appearance presets. It makes a backup the first time it edits a save, and its page warns against changing quest facts unless you know what you are doing. With more than 43,000 endorsements it is among the 20 most endorsed Cyberpunk mods, and its newest version, 0.28b, arrived in July 2025; as of November 4, 2026, it has no update for 2.5, so back up your saves before editing one made on the current patch. Creator: DeweySalt and Papayu. Download: Save Editor on Nexus Mods.
99. Simple Menu
Simple Menu is an in-game menu built on Cyber Engine Tweaks and packed with gameplay, cheat and utility features: infinite ammo, money and materials, maxed levels and perks, god mode, police and wanted level controls, time controls, teleports and vehicle unlocks, most of which can be bound to hotkeys. As of November 4, 2026, its newest main file on Nexus Mods is version 50.2 from November 2023, which its file notes say works on 2.1 and later, and a few features are marked unavailable until updated. Its page says it appears to keep working on new game versions as long as you run the matching Cyber Engine Tweaks, but that it is no longer maintained, so a patch that breaks it is unlikely to be fixed. Creator: Dank Rafft and capncoolio2. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks (version 1.29.1 or newer). Download: Simple Menu on Nexus Mods.
100. FreeFly
FreeFly is a simple noclip mod: it lets V fly in any direction at a speed you choose, which is handy for scouting, getting unstuck, framing photos or clipping into hidden areas. Version 2.4 (July 2025) added an option to ignore the camera angle and hold your height unless you press Space or Shift. As of November 4, 2026, its newest file (July 2025) predates update 2.5, so check its page before installing it on the current patch. Creator: keanuWheeze. Needs: Cyber Engine Tweaks, Native Settings UI. Download: FreeFly on Nexus Mods.
How We Chose These Cyberpunk Mods
Every mod here is for the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 and comes from its creator’s own page in the Cyberpunk 2077 section of Nexus Mods. We ranked candidates by Nexus Mods’ own popularity data, endorsements and downloads, and took the most loved mods that change how the game plays or looks. We skipped near-duplicates of mods already listed (one entry covers each family, so Immersive Vik appears inside Immersive Rippers), most cosmetic clothing, hair and body packs, adult mods, and mods that contain nudity, which rules out several popular romance add-ons and Appearance Menu Mod, whose Nexus Mods page is flagged as adult content.
Every Cyberpunk patch breaks some mods for a while, and creators catch up. A few popular mods, such as Enemies of Night City, GTA Travel and Real Vendor Names, have gone more than a year without an update. We include them with the game version their pages list noted in their entries, so check each page before installing them, or wait for an update. It is the same process we used for our best Sims 4 mods, our Valheim mods list and our best Elden Ring mods.
Download only from the creator pages linked above. Re-upload sites and “mod pack” bundles are the most common way players end up with outdated files that break saves, or with malicious ones. The Ultra Plus team, for example, warns on its page that copies hosted elsewhere should be treated as unsafe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Cyberpunk mods should you install first? Start with Cyber Engine Tweaks, RED4ext and redscript, then add ArchiveXL, TweakXL and Codeware. Each mod’s Nexus page lists exactly what it needs, and most larger mods on this list need several of those six.
How do you install Cyberpunk 2077 mods? Install the frameworks a mod lists first, then extract the mod’s archive into the game’s main Cyberpunk 2077 folder so its files land where its page says: .archive files end up in archive/pc/mod and redscript files in r6/scripts. Most pages, Let There Be Flight’s and Limited HUD’s included, give exactly that instruction. A mod manager such as Vortex can do the copying for you, though Car Modification Shop’s author suggests a manual install if that mod misbehaves. REDmod mods, like Night City Alive, also need REDmod installed and are switched on from the game’s launcher.
Where do you download Cyberpunk mods? All 100 mods here come from the Cyberpunk 2077 section of Nexus Mods, which needs a free account to download. REDmod itself, CD Projekt Red’s official modding tool, is a free DLC for the game. If you also mod Rockstar’s westerns, our best RDR2 mods list works the same way.
Why did my Cyberpunk mods stop working after an update? Game patches change the code that the script frameworks hook into, so Cyber Engine Tweaks, RED4ext, redscript and the XL plugins usually need updates after every patch. Update the frameworks first, then check each mod’s page before loading a save.
Which of these mods may not work on the current patch? Any mod that has not been updated since update 2.5 arrived on October 22, 2026, may need a fix, and each entry above says where its page stood when we last checked it, on November 4, 2026. Furthest behind, Simple XP Multiplier’s page lists patch 2.1, while Enable Finisher Ragdolls, GTA Travel and Kiroshi Opticals – Crowd Scanner list 2.0. Ragdoll Physics Overhaul’s latest status note covers 2.2, JB Third Person Mod’s newest build is for 2.3, and Simple Menu’s Nexus file was built for 2.1 and is no longer maintained. Others, such as Real Vendor Names and Stock Market and News System, have not been updated since early 2024 or before and do not name a version. Check each page before installing, back up your saves, and expect updates: creators patch their mods for new game versions all the time.
Is there a New Game Plus mod for Cyberpunk 2077? Yes. CD Projekt Red never added New Game Plus, but New Game Plus – Native carries your level, attributes, perks, gear, cyberware and most of your garage into a fresh playthrough that starts either from rescuing Sandra Dorsett or after The Heist. Its page says your level is capped at 50 on transfer, or 40 without Phantom Liberty.
Do Cyberpunk 2077 mods work on PS5, Xbox or Switch 2? Yes, since update 2.5, but only through the game’s own mod menu, not the Nexus Mods files this list links to. CD Projekt Red’s 2.5 patch notes add Cross-Platform Mod Support, powered by mod.io, which lets you browse and install a selection of player-created mods from the in-game menu on PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, and they say more mods will become available over time. The update arrived on PC, Mac, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on October 22, 2026, with the Switch 2 version following in the days after. The notes also warn that achievements and trophies cannot be earned while playing on console from a modded save file. The Witcher 3’s remaster is bringing mods to PS5, Xbox and Switch 2 too.
Are Cyberpunk 2077 mods safe? Mods downloaded from the creator’s own Nexus Mods page are the safest option. Avoid re-upload sites and bundled packs, keep a backup of your saves, and remove mods one at a time if something breaks.
Are these mods free? Yes. Every mod on this list is free to download from Nexus Mods, which needs a free account. Some creators accept tips through Ko-fi or Patreon, but none of these mods are paywalled. If you are looking for more to play after Night City, see our best RPGs of 2026.
