10 Best Cyberpunk 2077 Mods

Night City already gives V plenty to do. The best mods make a specific part of living there more enjoyable: organizing clothes, framing a photograph, clearing the screen or adjusting how the camera moves. These PC picks mix visible improvements with useful foundations for a larger mod setup. Install each mod’s listed dependencies and match its release to your installed game build; a working base game is a better starting point than ten simultaneous changes.

V is a mercenary trying to build a life in Night City when a stolen biochip turns survival into a personal crisis. Its connection to Johnny Silverhand makes the search for help more complicated than finding another job. The mods below change presentation and tools around that story; they do not replace its campaign.

Looking for somewhere to start?

• Equipment-EX for organizing outfits.
• Immersive First Person for a more physical first-person view.
• Limited HUD for a cleaner screen.

10. redscript

Best for supporting script-based mods · PC mod · Single-player game; scripting framework

A promising mod sometimes needs more than a file dropped into the archive folder. redscript supplies a scripting foundation used by other Cyberpunk projects, allowing their authors to extend behavior that ordinary asset replacements cannot handle. Its benefit is usually the feature another mod builds on top of it.

Treat it as infrastructure rather than a new quest or a visual overhaul. The sensible reason to install it is a requirement on a mod you actually want, using the release and instructions that match your setup. That keeps the list useful for newcomers without pretending a background tool will transform Night City on its own.

9. Cyber Engine Tweaks

Best for running compatible gameplay tools · PC mod · Single-player game; scripting and overlay framework

Open the overlay for a compatible mod and Cyber Engine Tweaks is often the tool making that interface possible. It provides a framework and console used by a wide range of community projects, from small conveniences to more elaborate changes.

The important distinction is between the framework and whatever you run through it. A mod’s description should explain its own features and requirements; installing CET alone does not add every example you have seen in a video. It earns a place for players assembling a mod collection, provided its current release explicitly supports their game build and its instructions are followed carefully.

8. Native Settings UI

Best for accessible options for supported mods · PC mod · Single-player game; settings framework

Changing a camera option should not require remembering which configuration file lives in which folder. Native Settings UI gives compatible mods a place to expose their controls through an in-game settings interface, making small adjustments easier to find and repeat.

It only manages projects written to use it. Other mods may require a different settings framework, so it is not a universal replacement for every menu tool. This is a practical pick when one of your chosen additions lists it as a dependency. The payoff is less time outside the game adjusting numbers, rather than a new activity on V’s map.

7. Improved Minimap Zoom

Best for fine-tuning navigation visibility · PC mod · Single-player; requires its listed settings dependencies

Turn into an unfamiliar junction and the amount of street visible on the minimap suddenly matters. Improved Minimap Zoom exposes configuration options so the map can better suit how you like to navigate Night City. It is a small adjustment with a very specific job.

The base game already has dynamic minimap zoom; this mod’s current purpose is additional control over those settings, not restoring a feature the game lacks. That distinction makes it most useful for players who have tried the built-in behavior and still want a different view. Follow the author’s dependency list rather than older installation advice from a previous game version.

6. Limited HUD

Best for keeping Night City in view · PC mod · Single-player; configurable interface behavior

Walk down a neon-lit street and let the scenery take priority over a screen full of persistent widgets. Limited HUD hides selected interface elements and brings them back under configurable conditions, so information can appear when you need it rather than occupying every quiet moment.

The pleasure is finding a balance that still lets you read a fight or follow a route comfortably. It does not have to become an all-or-nothing challenge run with the interface removed. Pick it if you like the city itself being the center of attention, and spend a little time setting its triggers to match the way you play.

5. Cyberpunk 2077 HD Reworked Project

Best for sharper environmental detail · PC mod · Single-player; visual asset replacement

Stop beside a rough wall or a pile of street clutter and Night City becomes a collection of surfaces worth looking at. HD Reworked Project revises environmental assets with higher-detail replacements, aiming to improve those close-up moments without changing the game’s overall artistic identity.

That makes it a good fit for slow exploration and photography rather than a new combat build. Texture quality and available graphics memory still matter, and different downloads can have different demands. Choose the package appropriate to your machine and read its requirements. The recommendation is for more convincing surroundings, not an unsupported promise of a free performance upgrade.

4. Virtual Atelier

Best for shopping for supported custom items · PC mod · Single-player; storefront framework

Use V’s computer to browse a clothing creator’s compatible storefront instead of obtaining every item through a console command. Virtual Atelier provides the shop framework; individual atelier packs supply their own stock and presentation. It makes a modded wardrobe feel more like something you acquired inside Night City.

The distinction matters because installing the framework does not automatically install every clothing shop. Pair it with the specific creator packs you want and their requirements. It is particularly appealing for players who enjoy character styling but would rather choose items from a recognizable storefront than manage a long list of technical item identifiers.

3. Appearance Creator Mod

Best for designing character appearances · PC mod · Single-player; character appearance tools

Change a character’s look in-game, move an outfit to another character and use the result as the starting point for a more personal scene. Appearance Creator Mod supplies a visual way to work with appearances, reducing the need to edit files by hand for every idea.

It is a creative tool rather than an additional story mission. Its author documents features for working with characters and sharing appearances, with required frameworks doing essential work underneath. Pick it if styling characters and preparing screenshots is the activity you want more of. Related tools such as Appearance Menu Mod are separate projects, and optional integrations should not be mistaken for built-in features.

2. Immersive First Person

Best for a more grounded view of V · PC mod · Single-player; camera customization

Look down and the perspective feels more connected to V’s body, rather than a camera simply floating through the city. Immersive First Person adjusts the first-person presentation and offers options for how that view moves and sits in the world.

The attraction is the ordinary stuff: standing in an apartment, walking through a crowd or noticing how the camera responds to your character. Camera preferences are personal, so the configurable behavior matters as much as the headline feature. Use the author’s current camera rework and avoid combining competing replacements without documented support. It is a strong immersion choice rather than a graphics preset.

1. Equipment-EX

Best for building a proper wardrobe · PC mod · Single-player; expanded outfit management

Save an outfit because you like the silhouette, then build another without treating the wardrobe as a tiny set of compromises. Equipment-EX expands transmog and outfit management, letting clothing enthusiasts organize more elaborate looks and work with supported custom items.

That has a satisfying payoff when V’s appearance is part of the role you are playing: a different job or district can get a different outfit without a long inventory shuffle. It takes the top spot because its purpose is easy to understand and use repeatedly. Install the author’s required frameworks together; it is an outfit system, not a standalone clothing collection.

Which should you play next?

For an immediate visible change, start with Equipment-EX, Immersive First Person or Limited HUD. The foundations at the bottom are useful when another mod actually requires them, rather than a mandatory collection. If you would rather begin a different adventure, our Best Action Games on PC guide offers another route into character building and exploration.
