I think it's time to spruce up these old cyberarms, don't you?
This mod features over 200 customization options across four categories—arm, blade, mechanism, and stickers—that you can mix and match to your heart's content. They're also mostly independent of each other, meaning you can keep any part of the game's default appearance alongside these options if you want to; all in all, there's over 4,000,000 different combinations available to choose from. If you're a fan of one of the in-game variants—let's say you're rocking some Iconic MaxTac Mantis Blades, for instance—you're covered there, too. Not only are the customization options compatible with all mantis blades in-game, I've fixed some issues that caused the special effects to not display on the male version, so now your electrified blades will be crackling with lightning as intended.
All textures and masks have been upscaled to 4K for a clean, seamless look. The modified arm mesh also removes V's fingernails for a more "robotic" look, which has the side effect of removing nails on V's organic arms as well (because of how the vanilla entities are written). If that bothers you, I recommend installing this mod after you've already chromed up. This only happens with the modified mesh, so if you like the vanilla synthetic skin look, you'll still have your fingernails too.
The mod is compatible with both UV and VTK bodies, and has a compatibility patch to make it work with Gymfiend as well. If you're updated from a previous version of the mod, make sure to remove the old compatibility patches for UV/VTK that aren't necessary anymore.
I've reduced a few of the clipping issues with the original mesh, but haven't gotten rid of them completely (mostly because I can't easily figure out how). I'd like to do so eventually, but for the time being, please make sure any issue you might report isn't something already present in the vanilla game. If you have any issues with textures not rendering, please make sure you have the requirements installed.
Installation:
You only need the main "Customizable Mantis Blades" file if you want to use one of the new arm colors, and you just unzip the file and drag it into your main Cyberpunk 2077 directory.
All of the Options files are organized by material and then color; you'll want to pick whatever combination you want and then drag the "archive" folder from that directory into the main Cyberpunk 2077 directory. The four options are compatible with one another and can also be used independent of one another, although "Arm Colors" requires the main file.
If you've got any issues, please take a look at both the FAQ and the in-Depth Installation Guide before asking me.

This massive undertaking wouldn't have been possible without The Community Palette Project, so thank you to NoraLee for all their work on that project. I also couldn't have done it without the modding tools others have so helpfully provided, such as the WolvenKit team. Ghartios was also kind enough to allow me to make the necessary edits for this to be compatible with the Gymfiend body.
If you like my mods and want to support me, you can always donate to me on Ko-Fi or just comment and post your own pictures to let me know you're enjoying what I made. I also sometimes stream on Twitch at HuginnPlays if you're interested in supporting me over there.
