About this mod

Removes all modded files from your Cyberpunk install by moving them to backup folders. Better and faster than a clean install (read description)

Works for manual install and Vortex (you need to validate game files after)!

Troubleshooting guide —  Re-modding your game — Crashes after game update



Text description under the video



  • Download and extract directly to your Cyberpunk game directory
  • If you are using Vortex:
    - Purge all mods
    - turn it off (it will cry if you don't)
    - keep it off until you have a working game. Do not hit deploy. Do not launch the game via Vortex. Doing either will reset everything you just did.
  • Run cyberpunk2077_disable_all_mods.bat by double-clicking
  • The folder with your backed-up mods will open automatically (it's under _MOD_REMOVER_BACKUPS if you close the window by accident)
  • Validate game files via Steam/Epic/GOG
  • You now have a clean install.
  • Optional: Start modding the game again

If your computer won't run .bat files for some reason, you can find an .exe in the optional files (if Vortex and your virus scanner will let you — it's literally the same as the script, you can check the source code on github and/or compile your own executable if you want).

You can buy me a coffee :)

Why is this better than a clean install?
Unless you delete the game folder, a reinstall only removes game files. Since many mods provide extra files, that means that your "clean" install will already be broken.

This utility does the opposite, taking out only those files and directories that are changed or added by mods.

Does this remove...
Yes. Mod Remover will affect everything potentially modded.

Risks and side effects
Mod remover is no risk to your save games. For details, see "Save Games" below.

Guaranteed
  • You will have a _MOD_REMOVER_BACKUPS folder with up to five backups before the tool starts warning you about it. This will eat up disk space. Once you are done troubleshooting (Step 6), you can delete these.
Common: Vortex
  • If you run the script without running a purge, Vortex will cry. Turn it off until you're done!
Common with Vortex: YOUR STUPID SCRIPT DOES NOTHING, YOU STUPID GONK
  • You forgot to read and follow the usage instructions and started the game with Vortex. This will auto-deploy your mods and reset everything you just did.
Extremely rare
  • In some cases, existing savegames will not load without certain mods. Your save will become usable again once you've reinstalled the required mod, and no data will be altered or lost.
    For an estimate of how rare this is: As of August 2023, the redmodding Discord has seen less than 50 users in total with this problem. So far, the only mod known to do that are:
  • Immersive Ripperdocs (see the wiki or the pinned comment for safe uninstall)

Save games
Mod remover will never touch your saves. You can't fuck anything up by using this tool. However, if something has been secretly fucked up by mods, then that fuck-uppery will become visible if you take out the mod.
For the purpose of troubleshooting, you can start a new game. The original save will load again once you install the mod it depends on.
