5 Cyberpunk 2077 Mods I Personally Recommend
I've been pleasantly surprised by the Cyberpunk 2077 modding scene so here are 5 Cyberpunk 2077 Mods I personally recommend; compatible with Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.0 and the Phantom Liberty DLC.
I didn’t expect much from the mod community to actually fiddle around with Cyberpunk 2077 other than fix its bugs and optimization issues. Fast forward to 2024 and there are tons of community-made content that both enhances the experience and adds more to it.
Now that I am on my fourth playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077, I thought I needed some help to spice up and speed things up.
So, here are 5 Cyberpunk 2077 Mods I recommend. These mods are compatible with Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.0 and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty DLC. You can also choose not to get any of these mods, as there really is no right way to play Cyberpunk 2077.
Anyway, let’s get to the list!
No Intro Videos
If you are just like me who’s already sick of the long intro of Cyberpunk 2077, the No Intro Videos mod is perfect.
This mod is pretty much straightforward, it skips the intro video that plays whenever you start up Cyberpunk 2077. Don’t get me wrong. The intro video is not bad, but it gets pretty annoying once you’ve opened and closed Cyberpunk 2077 more than once.
It’s not disruptive and game-breaking, so rest assured your gameplay experience is untouched.
Simple XP Multiplier
If you feel like you are leveling up too slowly in Cyberpunk 2077, you can use the Simple XP Multiplier by rmk1234.
This mod allows you to adjust the experience you gain by adding multipliers to the raw experience rewarded to you when doing various things in Cyberpunk 2077.
You can go lower than 1.0 if you want to slow down your level-ups even more than how it already is.
I used this in my third playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 so that I could get around faster and immediately catch up to Phantom Liberty.
Custom Level Cap
Another feature that can speed up and lower the difficulty of Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay is the mod Custom Level Cap by Scissors123454321.
Using the Custom Level Cap mod allows you to freely level up past Level 60, which is the level cap after Patch 2.0 was added. Before the Patch 2.0 expansion, Cyberpunk 2077’s level cap was only at Level 50.
If you are wondering how it affects the extra Attribute and Perk points you gain if there is a limit to the point distribution itself, then be at ease as you can still add Perk points past 20.
Attribute points, however, are still capped at 20. This is fine since Attribute points mainly affect the skill and stat checks in dialogue or actions, aside from raising the point cap in the Skill Tree Perks themselves.
Photo Mode Unlocker 2.0 XL
If you are like me who loves to take photos in Cyberpunk 2077, Photo Mode Unlocker XL by SilverEzredes is essential. This mod allows a better range of motion when using the Drone Camera Type in Cyberpunk 2077’s photo mode.
Other features added by this mod include additional character poses and adjustments to camera settings such as Field of View, Camera Rotation, Depth of Field Aperture, Level of Detail distance, maximum camera distance, and reduced character collision box.
Cyberware Item Bonus Stat Settings
While I didn’t use this mod extensively and only experimented with it, Cyberware Item Bonus Stat Settings allows you to tweak around the stat bonuses cyberwares provide you.
Just like the Simple XP Multiplier, the goal of this mod is to make the game much easier or adjust it to your liking.
I didn’t really use it because it feels more game-breaking than the other mods but again, these are just recommendations. You don’t have to use it and I don’t feel strongly about these mods—aside from the Photo Mode unlock 2.0 XL, make sure to get that one.
