So, you've finally got your hands on Cyberpunk 2077 and you're ready to take your gaming experience to the next level with some awesome mods. But wait! You're encountering the all-too-common problem of not being able to get those mods to work. Well, fear not, my fellow gamers, for I have discovered the secret to making those mods come alive!
The key to successfully installing mods lies in understanding the mysterious "game directory" that the mods refer to. It's not as straightforward as you might think. Rather than pointing you to the cyberpunk.exe file location, the mods are actually referring to the red pre-launcher directory. To find this hidden gem, simply navigate to the bin-x64 folder and there you will find the cyberpunk.exe file.
Now that we have demystified the game directory, let's dive into the step-by-step process of installing mods. First things first, you'll need to download WinRAR, a nifty tool for extracting files. Once you have that, it's time to conquer those mods!
For most mods that instruct you to extract the zip folder into the game directory, here's what you need to do: after downloading the mod from Nexus, place it directly into the pre-launcher directory (remember, not the actual Cyberpunk directory). Then, right-click on the mod file and select "extract here" using WinRAR. Voila! Your mod should now be successfully installed.
To get started, I recommend trying out an easy mod like removing the intro videos. It's a simple one to test and see if it works. If it does, then you can confidently move on to downloading more exciting mods. Just remember to take it one mod at a time and test each one to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Now, let's take a closer look at a specific example to further illustrate the installation process. Consider the mod called "stealth finishers (ZKV_takedowns)". Instead of simply dropping the unzipped folder into the pre-launcher directory, you'll need to move the bin and r6 folders from the mod's zip file and drag and drop them into the red pre-launcher directory, as specified in the mod description. Following these instructions precisely should result in a perfectly working mod.
Armed with this newfound knowledge, my fellow Cyberpunk enthusiasts, you can now venture into the world of modding with confidence. Remember to start with a fresh install if you've previously encountered issues, be cautious with mods when using a Fit-Girl repack, and always make backups of your saves. Now go forth and elevate your Cyberpunk 2077 experience to new heights with the power of mods!
