Must have mods?

[Deftrok]

I've gotten old lads and am no longer hip with mods. I know Nexus has gone off the deep end scrapping mods they don't like and such. Last game I modded was rimworld but thats a built in feature.

What kinda of mods for Cyberpunk are worthwhile? I'm not looking for silly ones, but mods that add to the base game seamlessly. Unless the rule of cool applies.

Thanks in advance guys

It really depends on what you want to do in the game. Best bet is to go on Nexus and look at the Top Files and the Most Endorsed.

Play without mods first, newer games like this really don't need them

I agree wholeheartedly! On ur 1st go, don't use mods so u experience the game as the devs intended.

DEGMods have mods that Nexus has ban for being a Bigot mods like Male V Romancing Judy.

Last time i used mods was back in Half Life 2 Star Trek Bridgcommander era. LOL

Now i feel game could break at anytime like from a update or just decides it dont want to work.

Okay...here are the mods I use that I would recommend for new players. They smooth a few rough edges still in the game and improve look and feel, but do very little or nothing to change basic gameplay:

3-D Vanilla hi-Def Holobeams
Balanced Nighttime Cycle
Better Loot Markers
Cherry_trees_high resolution
Cyberpunk 2077 Reworked Project Ultra Quality
Deceptious Bug Fixes
Dirt Begone
Environment Texture Overhaul
Execute Quickhacks with Left Click
Hide Read Shards
Higher TV Quality
Immersive First Person
Lightbeam Fix
Moon Bug Fix
Named Saves
No Inhaler guitar Powerchord
Pet Your Cat
Ping Tags Enemies
Ragdoll Physics Overhaul
Smarter Scrapper (be careful with this one)
Smooth Movement
Vehicle No Despawn

Of course, make sure you have installed all supporting mods like Redscript, Red4EXT, CET, etc. If your GPU has more than 8 Gigs of VRAM, the High-Res NPC mods by Xilamonstrr are nice additions.

reset attributes and vehicle handling are im my opinion mandatory

Same here. I basically just mod games that have the Steam Workshop enabled. That is really comfortable: Hitting on the green subscribe button and that's it!

If there is only Nexus to mod: "Thank you, but no thank you!"

Let's agree to never go on Nexus or any third-party-installer. It's just not worth the hassle. If a developer studio is serious about modding and fully stands behind that they either enable the Steam Workshop or they do the modding fully inside the game, meaning they have all the mods on their own website, like Factorio.

What makes you say that? All mods that I have installed are via Nexus and they all got updated within hours after every update or patch of the game.

This is the only one that I would recommend even for the first playthrough. It lets you remove mods from weapons on selling or dismantling.

I'm also using one called Farm Is Dead that makes every dropped/found weapon _unmodified_. Doesn't make it too easy, but prevents the constant frustration of weapons with weak or inappropriate mods blocking better choices.

I agree that Vortex has been a pleasant surprise, although the app itself is a bit buggy for me, in that it sometimes flashes and doesn't seem to refresh properly at times.

I've always been a bit 'stubborn' and control freak with mods, manually installing them one by one.

Now on my 3rd playthrough I decided to try the Vortex app since I wanted to try a lot of mods (currently it shows 75 active mods), and it has been a breeze with no issues or conflicts.

I encountered a crashing bug when doing the 'The Heist', and saw a tip to disable mods for the part in question, and it was a breeze to simply uncheck all mods in Vortex, do the mission, then enable them again after. Should I had done that manually it would have taken hours.

So I can definitely recommend Vortex for all ages!

https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/16965

https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/6055

https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/10021

-Movement Unclunkifier. Makes movement more fluent.
https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/9899

https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/9659

Mods with (potentialy) high impact on ballance

-Cyberware-EX. Adds more cyberware slots
https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/9429

-SimpleXPMultiplier. Allowes you to change how fast you gain xp. I use it so lower mine by ~15-25%, so that I dont hit max level before the game is over. My max level is 80 ;)
https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/3136

-Ye Olde Kerenzikov. Restores the kerensikov how it was pre 2.00. Much better.
