what is needed for redmod to work?

[moyer4487]

a lot of contradictions on the internet about what is needed to use redmed. and where do i get mods from? vortex?

[egg fu]

download mods from https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077, there's two ways to install mods, with mod manager vortex or manually. i think its recommended to install manually but use whichever is more comfortable for you. if you're looking to install mods then don't forget to read the requirements for each mod, for example some may require "cyber engine tweaks" or "redscript" which you can download from the same site.

don't worry about redmod, its just another tool modders can use to create mods for the game.

You only need to download on the Steam page. After that, you can install mods for it from nexus.

That's all that is needed.

cool thank u for the answers. online so much info was conflicted. i didn't know what to believe. what are the good mods?

i menat nexus not vortex btw

I installed vortex to install one complicated mod and it absolutely fried my entire game, had to purge everything vortex related and reinstall all mods manually again. For the love of god install them manually and on the Nexus Mods website, the mod authors will tell you what mods are required and how to install them manually. Depends on the mods

And for good mods, I simply sorted by most downloaded and picked whatever I liked, I few I can recommend is "Finisher and Takedown Overhaul - ZKV_Takedowns", "Time Dilation Overhaul" and "System-Ex" *adds way more cyberware slots* and "Let there be flight." Rest at your own leisure and make sure the mod author doesn't state any conflicting mods!

I doubt you'll get a lot of agreement on what the 'good mods' are. I would suggests you look at the Modders Resources first...Cyber Engine Tweaks, Redscript, RED4Ext etc. Make sure they are properly installed and work from there. Look at the Trending and Most Endorsed and see what appeals to you. I also suggest you start with simpler mods and load them one at a time. Sometimes Vortex gets things wrong and you will have a terrible time sorting the problem out if you've loaded a bunch at once. without seeing if they take effect [or cause problems] when you start your game..

If your system is up to it, try starting out with the High-Res NPC mods by XilaMonstrr. They are simple to install via Vortex and look really great.

i can't download anything. i tried to download cyber engine and it says download has started but nothing happened.
as for high res my system should be up to it. i'm running with almost everything maxed out now without any issues
and i definitely plan on downloading one at a time. i'm not very good with compueters so i have not downloaded a mod ever because if something goes wrong i may not be able to fix it

[moyer4487]

more slots for cyberware would be cool and something for driving. driving is a pain in the ass. and the clothes. i have never seen so many ugly clothes in one place in my life. even though i can't see what i have on most of the time i still know its there. how about a pair of blue jeans and a white t-shirt instead of all those day glow colors and pants that stop at above the ankles

First of all, you made an account with the Nexus AND visited your email you used to verify yes? Sometimes downloads won't work till you have done the verification dance.

Also, you have to wait around 5 seconds for a download to start. But you have to stay on the page too (I forget that occasionally too lol)
There is a manual download option mentioned for STARTING downloads if you are having issues with it's auto download buttons.

As said above.
Start with Cyber Engine Tweeks. That is the basics of the basics.

When I started with mods, I grabbed basic quality of life mods first.
Wardrobe extras (14 slots for outfits rather than 6)
Extra stash tabs (gives the same tabs to your stash that your inventory has)
The Metro (NCART mod to put the mass transit system. Because I like to ride around lol)
Filter saves by type and lifepath' (push Q to filter by save type, push E to filter by lifepath)
A walking fix (stops the constant resetting of walk/jog that happens when you enter areas. There you are, just walking around. You get home and suddenly you are jogging into your stash, or your shower. Was driving me nuts, I couldn't just take a walk properly)

I would recommend just checking YouTube. There's too many to name, and I use a ton of mods in this game. Where I go to find decent mods is either browsing on nexus, or YouTube to see if there any mods that I've missed that I may be interested in.

Here's a list to get you started. It's up to you after that:
