CD Projekt's Cyberpunk 2077 launched in an incredibly rough state, but some of these radical mods can drastically overhaul the game for the better.
Cyberpunk 2077 is a game that, despite its iconic film and TV show influences, immersive world-building, the inclusion of Keanu Reeves, is often plagued by negative perceptions and derisive criticisms. The major reason behind such criticisms stems from the fact that the game often suffers from glitches and bugs that often border on game-breaking.

These limitations have resulted in players looking for ways to customize the playing experience and rid the game ofits most frustrating faults. With official mod support from CD Projekt Red, moddingCyberpunk2077 will continue to be a pretty common thing.While some of the mods are quite utilitarian, there exist some which can be safely regarded as extremely ridiculous, yet extremely enjoyable at the same time. These mods rank high with gamers owing to their ridiculousness and should be installed as soon as possible to get the most and the unexpected out of Cyberpunk 2077.
The various NPCs in Cyberpunk 2077 all flaunt different futuristic skin textures, but doing the same when creating a custom character would prove to be pretty irritating in-game.
However, modder Crazy Potato has solved this frustration with the Chrome Female V Mod, which allows V to flaunt futuristic chrome skin that looks not only crazy, but quite appealing, as wellin a weird, far-future way, that is. The only downside to this mod is that Vs breasts seem to pop out of her clothes whenever this mod is activated,though weird issues like that are more-or-less par for the course for the game.
Cyberpunk 2077 is a game that is full of glitches and bugs, so much so that PlayStations CEO has even called out CD Projekt Reds attempt to launch the game in such a broken state. The bugs and glitches can become increasingly frustrating when players get stuck in game-environment components like walls and corners. Being stuck in a glitch is never a fun experience, and, therefore, a mod like Ghost Forward helps immensely.
Allowing players to teleport ahead a little distance can help them in getting unstuck and can also come in handy when wanting to infiltrate places that do not seem to have an entry in sight. It also has a neat feature of sliding the camera forward to look at what lies beyond the wall, thereby saving the player from landing himself/herself in an ambush or hurling himself/herself from the thirtiethfloor of a high-rise building.
The weather in Night City has a number of different variations, but, for the most part of the game, it is a bright, sunny with no trace of clouds. The Climate Change Mod by Essenthy makes up for this monotony by allowing the players to choose from fog, toxic fog, rain, overcast skies, and pollution as the default climate of the game.

The player still gets to experience other weather conditions, but the chosen climate remains the default. Although there are problems with this mod working perfectly when activated in the Badlands or the North Side, it is an issue that Essenthy promises to fix, and it hardly impacts the efficacy of this cool and weather-based mod.
There has been a constant debate surrounding whether Cyberpunk 2077 is a better game or whether it is Fallout 4. Irrespective of which game delights the modern player, it cannot be denied that both support some brilliant mods. One such ridiculous mod, specific to Cyberpunk 2077,is I2ahmans Netwatch Cyberware mod.
An appearance mod that allows V to sport the cyberware that players can see on the faces of Netwatch agents, this mod might not do anything crazy in the gameplay but is a damn good facial enhancement to have.
Cyberpunk 2077 is a hugely demanding game that strains the gamers system extensively. Therefore, in order to make the playing experience smoother, a mod called Disabled Crowd exists that makes the crowd in Night Citynonexistent.
While this may seem like a lonely game, with V completing his/her story through deserted lanes and empty intersections, it improves the game's performance exponentially owing to the lesser number of components the system has to render. Furthermore, the look is quite dystopian and makes for a slightly ridiculous mod that gamers looking for efficiency might prefer.
The NPC behavior in Cyberpunk 2077 is quite frustrating, with the characters disappearing if adequate attention is not given to them. The botchy behavior by such NPCs is courtesy of the games unpolished release, an aspect that Take-Two owner Strauss Zelnick has hugely criticized. However, with the existence of the Alternate Crowd Behavior and Other Tweaks mod by TemplarGFX, this frustrating aspect can be somewhat managed.

What this mod allows players to do is select the appropriate crowd behavior that he/she would prefer. Players can either choose a dynamic collection of NPCs or a more consistent collection. Other customizations that this mod can aid include asset streaming, the traffic, as well as the general behavior by the AI. However, it must be noted that using this mod might affect the FPS of the game and put a major strain on performance.
There are a lot of things, including the game's gangs, that do not make any sense in Cyberpunk 2077. One other thing that is just as nonsensical in the game is the handling of vehicles, which seems to be overpowered at best and rusty at worst.
The Better Vehicle Handling mod by RB allows the players to somewhat compensate for the ridiculous handling of vehicles that the game has to offer. While the mod in itself is not ridiculous, it is splendid in the sense that it tames vehicular control to a brilliant degree, an aspect that is over-the-top for anybody playing the un-modded version of the game.
There are many hidden gems in the massive user-generated lineup ofCyberpunk 2077 mods.One such mod that takes players out on a stroll through memory lane is a reshading mod that is basedon the iconicDoomgames of 1993.
TheDOOM Reshade mod basically allows players to reshade the game byrecreating the pixelated look of the FPS classic and implementing the same on the graphically exquisite Night City. Although in-game text and HUD elements are going to be completely unreadable, it is a ridiculously cool mod to have, and, in a weird way, it fits the game's retrofuturist aesthetic.
For lovers of RPG, the Unlock Night City mod is the perfect ridiculous mod to install right away. Allowing players to unlock cordoned-off areas in the city, this mod is brilliant in the sense that it allows access to places that most players cant enter while enabling them to enjoy the interior design of these areas.
This mod makes Night City a lot more interesting, and, as new places including Delamain HQ, Voodoo Boys Underground Base are added, this mod will be all the more impressive.
Many players have constantly complained that Cyberpunk 2077 would have been a whole lot better had it beenin third-person instead of first-person. As players dedicate an insane amount of effort in building the perfect version of V, many yearn to behold their creation as he/she walks around Night City in unabashed glory.
The JB - TPP MOD WIP Third Person mod achieves exactly this, allowing players to toggle between first-person and third-person views, adjust the angle as they desire, and even find hidden places that do not expose themselves at first glance when playing the gamein the first person. While this mod is still buggy at times, it is sure to improve in the coming months, especially with mod support from CD Projekt Red becoming official.
