how to use redMod exactly

[Plλyer]

redMod.exe not working just closing itself

Just getting Vortex to install and recognise my CP install is too much of a pain for me to be bothered trying that route.

I downloaded RT-46 BURYA Blade Runner 2049 LAPD Blaster Sound Replacer(redmod) MANUALLY from nexus, I dragged the folder from the zip file into the mods folder, ran redlauncher, enabled mods, hit play, I've now been playing for a few minutes without any crashing or issues.

Maybe you have a mod conflict or something else?

Yes, it's the 'RT-46 BURYA Blade Runner 2049 LAPD Blaster Sound Replacer (RedMod)' on Vortex. I'll go over the instructions _again_ to see if there's something I misunderstood...that's quite possible.

Sure thing, give it another bash and report back, I'll leave a message here later when I'm back and have time to try too

See my comment above, try manually installing. Remember to drag and drop the folder from the zip into the mod folder in your CP install location

The key is that REDmod mods need to go into the X:\Steam\steamapps\common\Cyberpunk 2077\mods folder...that's _MODS_ not 'MOD'. If you are used to installing to the 'mod' folder, you might make this mistake...[that's my story, and I'm sticking to it].

I suspect there will be lots of confusion if some mods need to go into 'mods' and some into 'mod'. I hope the mod makers are clear in their instructions about how _exactly_ the installs should go. Vortex is great when it works, but I can see the wisdom of manual installation, even if there's a learning curve to climb.

[u0aol1]

Yeah I forgot the S in in my comment and the folder is called mods, although it's fairly clear considering there isn't a 'mod' folder unless you made it manually yourself.

Either way, vortex is still being an ass and manually installing works perfect for me, always has, so I won't bother with it, hopefully someone else can get something useful from that.

[u0aol1]

Oh I didn't forget the S you were just clearing up the mess of a comment I made lol. Early morning, tired brain.

Previous to REDmod the mods were all pretty loose and drag and droppable into the game folder, Archives, Bin, Engine etc. Worked fine. But hopefully having a singular folder to drop your mod folder into will make it easier for some going forward.

Or apparently not lol

Lessons to take away.

1. Manually install REDmods.
2. Put them in the 'mods' folder.
3. Vortex is a pain in the ass.

At the moment you can either install manually the traditional way or use REDmod (where the mod author has incorporated this). I believe even if a mod is designed for REDmod, you can still install the "old" manual way - if you want to keep the same process for all mods.
I would caution against using a traditional mod manager (Vortex, NMM etc) for this game.
Mods are dead easy to install manually - the mod author will show the mod structure for their own mod, you simply need to replicate and copy and paste into the correct folders in your game install drive. If you know how folder structures work - you can do it in your sleep. I have not found that load orders are that critical for this game, whereas they are of the utmost importance for Fallout / Skyrim for example. You can even add or remove mods during a Cyberpunk play though with minimal impact on your saves.
Honestly I don't believe I have had a single crash that can be attributed to a mod - and I have 90+ mods - and never had a corrupted save.

I agree with you, across all of the games I've modded, mod managers have been the main source of contention, most mods come packed in the right file structure, is normally just drag and drop into the game folder and your good to go.

Want to share your mod list? Wouldn't mind checking some more out

Exactly. I wonder how much confusion and trouble would have been avoided if the devs had simply NAMED the REDmods folder 'REDmods' so people making a fast reading wouldn't confuse the two [as easily]?

Haha yeah that probably would have been a better idea

[evil701]

Nexus mods and Vortex.. It automatically installs the mods in the right folders, when your mods get updated, you can easily check updates by using Vortex mod manager.

Hello I tried appearance mod doesnt work after this update? pressed f11 no response!?

[u0aol1]

Sure, if vortex wasn't a piece of crap. It's more trouble than it's worth. Read the mods version requirements and drag and drop. Save yourself the 500mb of storage space.

Well he did say most are confirmed working with 1.6, not all of them, perhaps that is one that isn't? Did you check the mod description?
