Is a mod Manager or Organizer needed for the game?

Cyberpunk 2077 Mod Manager [www.nexusmods.com] <-- this one I tried last year and was to hard to use or I couldn't get it to work properly


And I read that Mod Organizer 2 [www.nexusmods.com] works with the game

I manually install all my mods and don't use vortex

No, it isen't.

All you really need is to ask Steam to only "update on launch", and then launch the game from it's .exe file directly, so it never updates without you meaning it to (and yes, you can do that, not all Steam games allow that, but this one does).

The reason for this is that patches tend to break mods, so if you're running a modded game, you don't always want the game to update. Atleast not untill all your mods have been updated for the latest patch.


Other than that, just install mods manually, it works just fine.

This game is better when you manually install mods, Vortex tends to mess up files and leave files behind when you update and or uninstall mods, while MO2 is not really tailored after this game. Manually install your mods, is probably the safest and better way, assuming you know what you doing.

I used Vortex.

I use about 100 mods and I just drag them into the Cyberpunk directory manually. You can select them all and drag them into the game's directory in one motion and provides equal to or better results than using another app that is not needed.

I have about the same amount and I always drag and drop my mods into the steamapps >common >Cyberpunk 2077 folder

This.

Only rarely does a mod change it's file structure so that you have to remove the earlier version instead of just over-writing it. And they tend to put up a big notice about it.

And I was looking to see if Mods are easy to use for this game.
I just want to wear the Outfits the NCPs have and change the color of my favorite Vehicle: Emperor 620 Ragnar. ^////^

Def not needed as others have said. I prefer to use Vortex mostly for it's update checking and direct downloading. Helps me keep track of things with a list that's growing all the time.

Manual placement still becomes a reality even then, especially if you're the type of person to swap in and out different kinds of things for character creation. Archive Conflict Checker becomes your best friend after a certain point. (Spare your mod creators the headaches of nexus posts about "why this no show up" and learn how to properly sort mods @_@)
