First time I’ll be playing Cyberpunk with mods! Every previous playthrough has been on my Series X, so I’m hoping some people here might have some expert must-have mods I need to grab?!

Appreciate any input!

    First off, don’t be like me - either use a mod manager (Vortex with the cyberpunk extension), or be sure to disable automatic game updating - otherwise you’ll come back to your game after steam auto-updates it and wonder where all your mods went. 😅

    Anyway, back to the list of mods I was running - no guarantee that they’re all 100% compatible with the latest update, but the vast majority of them should be. You also can’t go wrong checking out the Top of All Time list on Nexus - I’m sure there’s some larger overhauls there that are great, but not something I used.

    UI / Quality of Life mods:

    Performance-increasing / bug fix / visual mods:

    Mods around increasing immersion, depending on your taste:

      Thank you so much for this! Your tips really help here. I’m almost ashamed (almost) to admit 99% of the games I’ve been playing so far have been non Steam games. So the, ah, ‘legit’ way of doing things is something I’m not so used to yet!

      Sooo, are you able to explain how I turn automatic game updating off?

      These are so great, I’m going to look through each mod you’ve recommended!

        If you’d like to stop Steam from automatically updating a game, select “Only update this game when I launch it” from the game’s Library page > Properties > Updates.

        So I think in addition to disabling auto-updates you have to play in offline mode once an update happens, or launch outside of Steam. at least, with Skyrim the script extender directly launched the exe so Steam’s “update on launch” wouldn’t happen, and I’m not quite sure what the correct way to do that for Cyberpunk is. 🤔
