Learn how to install mods on Cyberpunk 2077 in under 3 minutes — no tools, no config panels, just one drag-and-drop.
⬇ What you'll learn:
• Where is your Cyberpunk 2077 main game folder? (Steam / GOG)
• How to download a mod from Nexus Mods manually (choose "Other", NOT fast download or Vortex)
• The ONE drag-and-drop step that installs any mod
• 6 core framework mods you MUST install first:
1. RED4ext — base script extender for all mods
2. Cyber Engine Tweaks + CODWarp — Lua scripting console & QC mods
3. ArchiveXL — custom archive overrides without touching original files
4. TweakXL — YAML and config editing alongside ArchiveXL
5. Codeware — debug console for spawning NPCs on-the-fly
6. Mod Settings — in-game mod menu toggles for configurable options
• How to check your mod load status via the dev console
⚠️ Always check each Nexus Mods page for required dependencies before installing. Even after getting these six, some mods need additional core or supporting mods listed at the top of their pages.
