Where Does Cyberpunk 2077 Store Mods?
Cyberpunk mods live in archive and mods folders under the install, managed by REDmod or manually. Saves stay separate.
Last updated
Save files hold V while mods change Night City. REDmod packages live in a mods folder with Settings toggles. Manual installs drop .archive files into archive/pc/mod.
The existing saves post covers story progress; this one covers the mod side. Patch updates break archives first, so check mod compatibility before upgrading. Script extenders sit beside the exe.
Where Cyberpunk 2077 stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Cyberpunk 2077\archive\pc\mod
REDmod packages plus manual .archive files and script extenders beside the exe. Saves live separately per the saves post. Match mod versions to the game patch.
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Cyberpunk 2077/mods
Same relative archive and mods folders under the Mac and Linux installs. REDmod tooling stays Windows focused, so manual archives travel best cross platform.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Cyberpunk 2077/archive/pc/mod
Identical layout on Linux under the Steam library. Proton prefixes mirror the Windows game folder, keeping archive paths valid inside.
Frequently asked questions
How do I install Cyberpunk mods?
Drop REDmod packages into the mods folder and enable them in Settings, or copy .archive files into archive/pc/mod for manual installs. REDmod needs enabling once per install while manual archives load automatically. Keep one set per patch since updates break archives.
How do I back up a modded install?
Copy the archive and mods folders with the game quit, plus saves from the saves post. Mods travel as archives while saves reference vanilla records. Removing a vehicle mod deletes its cars from garages.
