Usage

REDmod is a tool to stage installed mods to work with a modded game.There are also various commands for modders to work with the game's assets.

Using Mods

The game loads mods from this path: <Cyberpunk 2077>/mods/<name>.

EXAMPLE: A simple archive mod C:\Gog\Cyberpunk 2077\mods\modA\archives\mod_a.archive.

You need to deploy your installed mods before playing a modded game.You can handle deployment and load order with

• the REDlauncher that comes with the game

• Vortex Mod Manager from NexusMods

• or use the REDmod WolvenKit integration and manage your mods easily from within the WolvenKit Mod Manager.

You need to start a modded game in order to load the deployed mods in game.

Legacy archive mods in <Cyberpunk 2077>/archive/pc/mod are still supported but their load order cannot be managed with REDmod.

Deploying Mods and Starting the Game

REDmod can stage installed mods to work when the game starts with the modded flag:

• scripts in <Cyberpunk 2077>/mods/<name>/scripts are compiled into a modded script blob

• tweak files in <Cyberpunk 2077>/mods/<name>/tweaks are compiled into a modded tweakDB blob

• sound files in <Cyberpunk 2077>/mods/<name>/customSounds are staged to load

In order to utilize deployed mods with REDmod, you need to run the game in a specific modded mode. You can do this by launching the game through WolvenKit or manually by specifying a command parameter.

GOG Galaxy

• Open GOG - Cyberpunk 2077

• Click Manage Installation -> Configure ...

• Open the Features Tab

• Select Enable mods

• Click OK

• Play the game

• A window will open showing progress on mod deployment.

Steam and Epic

• Navigate to Cyberpunk 2077

• Click Play

• Click the Settings button and Enable mods

• Click Play (Do not skip this)

• A window will open showing progress on mod deployment.

Conflicts and Load Order

Conflicts are handled on a per-file basis, but can be handled by specifying a specific load order.Example: modA contains a script file C:\Gog\Cyberpunk 2077\mods\modA\scripts\cyberpunk\player\player.script. modB contains a script file with the same name C:\Gog\Cyberpunk 2077\mods\modB\scripts\cyberpunk\player\player.script.This will discard all changes modB made, since by default, REDmod and the game loads mods alphabetically (modA overrides changes in modB).However, you can specify a load order with REDmod, which the game will respect.
