downloading codeware, there was no r6 folder to extract.. what am I going to do now? help.. ._.

[@equanimity5057]

@@Liam.Sh0rtwired thas fine, jus drag n drop whatever contents r there

[@Liam.Sh0rtwired]

@@equanimity5057 I don't know, what mistake I could've made.. but not a single Mod works. Enabled them, did everything exactly as described, but.. nothing. First tried it with Epic Games and Vortex.. Buggy as hell, so I deinstalled everything and tried it like described.. but nope. Then got it in gog, and again.. nope. I don't know, what else to try.

[@ShantanuShaji]

For anyone having issues with CYBER ENGINE TWEAKS showing "error resolving hash" make sure you download the version of CET which matches your game version. EDIT: The same applies for RED4ext. If you have a higher version it will show an error. Another thing to keep in mind, every mod which uses RED4ext, download its version accurate to your game aswell or else RED4ext will implode.

[@CyberpunkGame]

Preem! Well done ❤

what are you planning to do about the jet problem in our community?

[@monkeybone1080]

Just got back into Cyberpunk after waiting for mods to build up and update and your video really helped to shake the rust off and provide a solid foundation. I especially liked how clear and detailed you were, step by step, to ensure an absolute "it's your fault if it doesn't work" flow. Thanks for such a quality vid dude.

[@akhildraksharapu]

how do you update the mods manually?

[@monkeybone1080]

@@akhildraksharapu In most cases it's just drag and replace unless otherwise stated on the mod page.

[@FHSlipKnot4Ever]

Agreed. I tried using the vortex mod manager for many of the basic tools like Codeware. Well, it bricked my game and I had to do a fresh install since I couldn't figure out everything those tools altered. This guide worked a treat though.

[@shinigamisway1645]

​@@FHSlipKnot4Ever same here. After that lil mishap with vortrex i uninstalled it completely. I dont trust vortex anymore 🤣

[@paulmagurean4632]

Bro i don't usually comment on youtube but for you MY MAN YOU ARE THE FUCKING BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have no idea how much i have searched for a proper tutorial on how to properly install mods, yeah it's easy as hell but my problem was that i did not have all the frameworks i needed and i jumped straight to the mods , i i eventually became really frustrated as hell, but then lord jesus shed a tear of light and dropped me your 40 minute god like of a tutorial and i thank you a lot for this. hopefully this tutorial gets the recognition it deserves.

[@LastKnownMeal]

Thanks for watching, glad tutorial was helpful.

[@sirnensho4691]

You have no idea how much this comment represents me xD

[@Scantronacon]

SAME! 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

[@frenchie5350]

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING!!

[@disastergoblin65]

So are all of these framework mods necessary for _every_ mod, or is it just a good jumping-off point for modding in general? I'm looking at downloading the "HARDCORE22V2 COMPLETE" realistic combat overhaul, Night City Alive, and NCPD Prevention Police Enhancement, which appear to only require TweakXL, RED4ext, and I assume Redmod. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

[@BrooksBrooksBro]

This video gave me the confidence to start modding. I wasnt sure that some of these were compatible with the new 2.11 update. Thank you!

[@LastKnownMeal]

Glad the video was informative. So far everything in this video is compatible, but best thing if you have space, backup your game directory and saves and go wild. Even if you break something its a learning process. I broke my entire game countless times trying out different mods or pilling them on top of each other.

[@BrooksBrooksBro]

I noticed the link in the description for "Deceptious Quest Core" is incorrect. Easy to figure out but thought I'd let you know. ​@@LastKnownMeal

[@AdamNeisler]

How did it go?

[@johndoe8785]

Skyrim is a good game to start modding.

[@SgtCroaker]

​@LastKnownMeal There is a really handy mod that runs a program and purges all mods from your directory. You just run the verify files via Steam or GOG after running the program. You have a clean install again. I've used it twice and it has worked like a charm on both occasions.

[@haltsmull7045]

I was super frustrated about modding because of previous failed attempts but your super thorough step-by-step guide finally made it work for me. TYSM for this video!!!

Glad video was helpful. Happy modding!

Italian perhaps?

[@shinigamisway1645]

New to owning a pc here , not sure how responsive you are to comments and what not but my first venture has been modding cyberpunk and i stumbled on this guide. I saw another guide i followed which had me create a folder called "Modded" and place the folder beside the r6 folder in the games local files. Youre the first content creator ive seen who suggested dropping the mods directly into the bin folder , im praying that when i get home from work , i wont have to delete everythjng and reinstall for the 3rd time 😂 thanks , mate

[@LastKnownMeal]

I have been using this method to install my mods forever, tested on update 2.2 works like a charm if installed correctly.

[@shinigamisway1645]

@LastKnownMeal at this point I should probably just join the discord because with cyber engine tweaks installed , there is no prompt when I launch the game for overlay key. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong I followed your first step EXACTLY

[@Panfuia]

Thank you so much! I was searching for a how to for so long. This is so easy to understand I didn't need to rewind. again thank you.

[@nissgrammaton1732]

My goodness sir, I have never seen such a well-done walkthrough and easy to understand explanation of modding in all my days. Everything you did in the video lines up perfectly with what is being said. I just cant thank you enough, But I'm going to try! THANK YOUUU!!!

[@triggermike2102]

When I first start modding a game I've not modded before, I always look for a channel like this to explain everything in straightforward terms. My first game years ago was Fallout 3 and used Gopher's channel to understand the basics, your channel very much emulates that style of video in a nostalgic kind of way. Thanks for the help, keep up the good work!

[@ColbyMarion]

Dude! Thanks for this. Super easy to follow and the fact you showed how some of the popular mods work was great! 10/10

[@gh0stinurarms]

I NEVER take the time to actually comment on vids but this is preem man. I'm brand new to cyberpunk and I have never modded a game without a manager. This is by far the best and most helpful modding video I have ever seen.

This video is AWESOME! Thanks so much

[@Pxppy4831]

THANK YOU SO MUCH OMG! I litterally could not figure out how to mod cyberpunk because I had 0 experience and no video made any sense to me at all and I literally crashed out. But then I got your video, watched it, followed what you did and now I actually understand how to mod. Thank you so much man, keep up the great work! ❤

[@iseph_]

This is the best tutorial i've ever seen! Question: i noticed that the most recent versions of codeware don't include r6 -- only redEXT; will that make a difference?

[@LastKnownMeal]

Thanks for watching and yeah dont worry about it, mod file structure changed

[@LastKnownMeal]

Glad it was a helpful guide. Thanks for watching!

[@ThisIsGoobly]

"installing manually is the best way to mod ANY game" well that's just not true lol. might be true for cyberpunk but there's not many reasons to not use mod organiser when modding skyrim for example.

xactly is it matters anytime or u solved it ??

[@Prosperityy42]

@@POO69US I was looking into it and I found that like he said if you just drag and drop the folder into the cyberpunk directory it'll put it in the right spot for you. If the mod doesn't have both folders it just doesn't need them.

I Really Appreciated your Help Immensely, on Teaching Me How-To Easily Start My Cyberpunk2077 Modding Wormhole. I wrote it all down, & it seems pretty painless. Also now I can Play w/ random New Mods I see Vids of. I’ve been Subscribed for idk how long, & have owned the game since the day Phantom Liberty came out, but ive been waiting to play it until I just found a way to put a “Windows 10 Virtual Machine” on my iPad Pro M2 via “Shadow PC POWER Subscription.” So I just now gave u a Thumbs Up, which I don’t give out freely. U earned it. Thank you so much.

[@LastKnownMeal]

Thanks for watching! And yeah, once you get the hang of the basics its pretty easy to install or troubleshoot mods in case something breaks. The most important part is to have framework mods, besides that only other recommendation is to always read if any mod requires something extra or new not mentioned here and thats pretty much it.

[@SelfishFurniture91]

man, i wish i watched your video before i started modding xD Never knew that there is such a big modding community with Cyber Punk. Your video is great and helping very much! thanks!!!

Thank you so much for this amazing turtorial! I just started playing Cyberpunk and this has really helped get my modding journey going.

[@justanothernobody7142]

Nice guide thanks! I think the problem with a lot of the mods is that you find a mod and check the requirements and realise it needs a few things you don't have, so you click on one and check the requirements and realise it needs some things you don't have, so you click on one and realise it needs some things you don't have, and so on. Before you know it that one mod now needs 10 other mods installed to work, at which point I wonder if it's even worth it and don't bother.

Thanks for watching and yeah same rules apply no matter if the file is bigger or smaller, it's just important to install the mod in same order and it will all work.

[@SymthArt]

Hey mate I don't usually comment on such videos as this, but wow, I struggle with computer stuff and have never really even come close to using mods, I fear the complex systems they require, the way you explained everything was perfect, the dragging and dropping, where to put the files everything was perfect for an ADHD man like myself, I know I will have issues using the mods but that's down to my brain not being able to process it, but hopefully with this perfect set out video I should not run into many issues.
