modding

[Thargs]

ok so finaly decided to figure out how to mod and every video goes straight to nexus. But Redmod is a thing..so do I need REDmod for the mods to work or what?

[n0mad23]

At this point (post 2.0), there aren't very many mods requiring REDmod, but there are some that it's a hard requirement.

Off the top of my head, mods that I'm using requiring REDmod are "Night City Alive," "Wilson's Range," and "No Meowing."

REDmods also need to have a "mods" folder created in your main Cyberpunk 2077 folder to be dropped into.

Just for "Night City Alive" I'd recommend installing REDmod.

Good luck!

thanks, so in short, I dont need REDmod unless the nexus page say its needed? thats good to know ^^

[n0mad23]

Correct.

Most other mods require either Cyber Engine Tweaks, and red4ext, etc. as prerequisites.

thank you so much :) was starting to think I might have to avoid modding afterall. Have a good one and wish me luck on not making my game a mess XD

[n0mad23]

I and others will be around to help!

Don't forget, you'll need to make a mod folder (yourCP77/archive/pc/mod) before adding any .archive files.

And if you do go REDmod, you'll need a "yourcp77/mod" folder as well.

Note with archives it's 'mod' and for REDmod ones it's 'mods'.

JUST MAKE SURE the mods you choose are current to the game version you're running!

If you're just starting out with modding make sure you carefully read the description of the mod(s) you're interested in and check if they have any requirements. There are mods that require other mods to be installed first for the one you're looking at to work like the aforementioned Cyber Engine Tweaks as an example.

I personally recommend holding off maybe a little bit because a patch is coming in the next week or two and will break all your mods. Make sure the mods have been updated since the last patch if you still go ahead and mod your game.

I've got many years of experience in modding, just that I didnt want to screw my game right out the window XD and thats good advice about the upcomming patch, will wait then to be sure I dont rip my hair off XD

They are doing a new Redstream on the 24th so we will know when the exact date the update will come out then.

awesome

I was going to hold off as well, but went for it anyway.

It's not like it's my first playthrough or something. And it's not like the mods are going to break my saves, it just means I'll have to do a reinstall when the next update comes out.

And man, there are some awesome mods at this point.

Lol - yeah, I'm kind of olde fashioned that way, too.

But I'm one of those guys (you've seen the comments) whose CDPR updates are actually worse than uninstalling and reinstalling fresh - it actually takes less time, and is far less frustrating. No other games have ever given me such headaches to update.

And while I may ♥♥♥♥♥ and groan about it, it's still worth it in the end.

I highly recommend using the Nexus Mod Manager. It makes things so much more convenient, especially when you inevitably start using more mods.

considering vortex have a nifty "reinstal" feature, it makes situation like this a breeze
