Cyberpunk 2077 is not only an impressive storyline, charismatic heroes, a vibrant city and vivid shootouts, but also a lot of bugs. While CD Projekt RED, rolling up its sleeves, diligently corrects mistakes, craftsmen do not sit idle either. We dedicated this material to the best mods that are already able to fix many aspects of the game today. If you prefer to watch rather than read, then feel free to include the video version of the article!
Cyber ​​Engine Tweaks. Significant performance improvement
Alas, Cyberpunk 2077 has big performance issues. Especially hit the owners of AMD processors that use SMT technology, and those whose processors do not support AVX. It is to eliminate these and many other shortcomings that the most popular Cyber ​​Engine Tweaks mod at the moment was created.
With this modification, the game will become smoother, and the FPS drawdowns will finally stop annoying. As a bonus, there are additional features like access to the console, which will definitely never be superfluous.
Better Vehicle Handling. Improved driving
Everyone should install this mod, because the physics of cars in Cyberpunk 2077 is sometimes shocking. If you can still drive on a flat road, at the very least, it is better not to drive on bumps and bumps in the wasteland. Also, cars and motorcycles are often and unrealistically skidded, which makes riding a natural torture.
Now, instead of swearing once again, looking at awkward coffins with wheels, you can simply install Better Vehicle Handling.
E to Interact - V to Walk and Drive - Dedicated Dodge - Dialogue Scroll. Convenient management
The author of this mod, apparently, decided to spend time not on the name, but on a convenient control system. Now you can humanly interact with the world, dodge in combat, skip dialogues with the mouse wheel, and much more.
This mod is popular, and unsurprisingly, the default layout in Cyberpunk 2077 is really so-so.
Draw Distance Boost. Increased viewing range
At times, the viewing range in the game leaves much to be desired: trees, townspeople and other objects emerging from the void can spoil the mood. But not with this mod! For example, in the screenshot on the left, Draw Distance Boost works, but not in the screenshot on the right, it doesn't. Perhaps, in statics, the difference is not so noticeable, but during the game you will definitely not regret taking the time to install.
Cyberpunk Autonomous ReShade - True HDR. We enable HDR even on simple monitors
Of course, this will not replace a cool display, but it will still slightly transform the game. See for yourself: the screenshot on the left with the mod, and on the right without. At the same time, the author carefully left us the opportunity to customize the picture for ourselves.
Arasaka Appearance Updater. Changing V's appearance after starting the game
The character builder in Cyberpunk 2077 is really rich, because you can even create Scarlett Johansson from your avatar. But having made a choice once, it cannot be changed. This dilemma is solved by the Arasaka Appearance Updater mod.
Of course, not everything can be changed on the fly, but the toolkit is constantly updated. Players who like to change their image and show off in front of the mirror will definitely like this mod.
Drive It Like You Stole It. Makes driving and crashes more realistic
Another mod that improves driving. This time, the emphasis is on greater realism: the feeling of driving on ice will no longer bother you, accidents will become much more spectacular, and motorcycles will stop twitching in the air.
The author has really done a great job. It's a shame CD Projekt RED didn't do the same before the release.
Better Minimap. Improved minimap
Not everyone liked Cyberpunk 2077's uninformative minimap. Fortunately, the Better Minimap mod lets you customize her in a wide variety of ways.
The minimap can be made transparent, scaled or left with only the compass. Now you will definitely not get lost on the dangerous streets of Knight City.
Alternate Crowd Behavior and other tweaks. Improving the behavior of residents
The AI ​​of Knight City residents leaves a lot to be desired, and modmakers have long been looking for ways to make their behavior at least acceptable. This modification, of course, will not solve all the problems, but at least the townspeople will stop wandering back and forth endlessly or disappearing behind your back.
Now you can adjust the disappearance time of NPCs after they are out of sight, influence traffic, and make enemies a little smarter.
Ultra Enhanced Reshade. Improving graphics without sacrificing performance
This mod will make the graphics better without twisting the settings. With it, Night City will become more detailed and enjoyable, but the improvements will not have a noticeable effect on FPS.
Graphic mods often go overboard with sharpness, saturation and other picture parameters, but in this case everything is done harmoniously and tastefully.
No Intro Videos. Disabling intro clips
Turns out the starting logos and the cry "Good morning, Night City!" tired many players. If you are tired of the introductory video too, then just install this patch. Now, after launching, you will immediately be taken to the main menu.
Considering Cyberpunk 2077's regular crashes, this will save you a lot of nerves.
JB - TPP MOD WIP third person. Adds a third person view
The developers immediately made it clear that the third-person view in the game would only be while driving, but this did not stop the skilled modmakers. Now you can look at V from the outside and get a new gaming experience.
Let Cyberpunk 2077 look rather clumsy in this format, but fans of a third-person view are unlikely to be stopped by unfinished animations.
Better Field Of View Slider. Changing V's field of view
Many did not like the field of view of the protagonist: to some it seemed too narrow, and to some it seemed too wide. Fortunately, this mod will allow you to customize your view however you like.
Now you will always see exactly as many objects as you want.
WALK key on PC. Adds a walk key
If, when playing with a gamepad to walk, it is enough to tilt the stick slightly, then you either have to rush around with the keyboard all the time, or use aiming mode for calm movement. Not very comfortable. However, this mod solves the problem.
It's even surprising that this functionality was not added by CD Projekt RED itself. How is that?
Crouch vignette effect remover. Stealth blackout removal
Hardly anyone would call stealth a strong point of Cyberpunk 2077. Moreover, the sneak vignette reduces the viewing angle and distracts. If you are also tired of enduring it, then just install the mod.
Users are already asking the author at the same time to remove the blackout when using the scanner. There is too much darkness here.
Stuttering improvements. Eliminates lags and freezes
If your PC starts to go crazy trying to handle a lot of objects when you go out into the city or quickly rotate the camera, then this mod is for you. The author made changes to streaming data, and this has helped thousands of players already.
Unfortunately, if you suffer from low FPS, even just standing still and looking at one point, then only lowering the settings or updating the hardware will help here.
Better cascade shadows. Improving shadows
Domestic mod Better cascade shadows allows you not only to improve shadows in the game, make them more detailed and remove blur, but also customize to your taste.
True, despite the author's statements, you still have to donate FPS in exchange for high-quality shadows.
Romanceable Judy for male V. Makes romance with Judy available to male characters
Judy has been driving gamers crazy since the first trailers, but you can only romance with her by playing a female character. The fans were not ready for such sacrifices and even released a mod that corrected this flaw.
The most interesting thing is that the developers of Cyberpunk 2077 even prepared unique cues for Judy's romance with a man, but they never made it to the final version of the game. But the mod makes them available.
Alternate Character Lighting. Alternative lighting NPC
In some lighting variations, NPCs look a little strange: their skin and clothes are too shiny, and their hair looks unnatural. With the Alternate Character Lighting mod, the light shines on NPCs more accurately and the problem goes away.
In the screenshots (original - on the Up, mod - on the Down), the changes do not seem significant, but still save some awkward situations.
Cyber ​​Fashion. Try on any outfit you see on Vee
This mod will become a true friend for lovers of variety. The author has collected all the clothes that can be found in the game (except for the quest and unique ones), along with identifiers.
Now all you have to do is choose an outfit, open the console, enter the desired value - and here V is already the most fashionable mercenary in Night City.
As you can see, Cyberpunk 2077 is made better not only by CD Projekt RED specialists, but also by fans. It is through their efforts that you can already now increase FPS, get rid of bugs, enjoy driving and generally fix a good, but damn raw game. Polish developers should learn from their fans, and maybe use some ideas and developments in official patches. We hope that you liked some of the mods from this collection.
