Picture this: you’re walking through Night City, neon lights painting everything electric blue, and your V looks… well, like every other merc who stumbled out of character creation. That’s where clothing mods come in, choom. They’re the difference between looking like generic street fodder and actually belonging in this cyberpunk masterpiece.

Framework Mods
Before we jump into the good stuff, let’s talk requirements. Most quality clothing mods need a few framework tools to function properly think of them as the foundation that lets everything else work smoothly.
Equipment-EX
Your wardrobe was feeling cramped, right? Base game only gives you so many clothing slots, and that becomes a real problem when you’re collecting dozens of modded outfits.
Equipment-EX solves this by completely overhauling your clothing system. Instead of being stuck with limited categories, you get 50+ clothing slots and a brand new UI that actually makes sense. The mod converts your existing outfits automatically on first launch, so you don’t lose anything you’ve already collected.
- New transmog system with 50+ clothing slots
- Brand-new UI accessible from Hub menu and V’s apartments
- Unlimited outfit management with custom names
- Works with both vanilla and modded items
- Converts existing wardrobe sets automatically
✅ Gameplay changes: Transforms outfit management from a frustrating limitation into an enjoyable customization system
This mod is basically mandatory if you’re planning to install multiple clothing mods. The vanilla system just wasn’t built to handle the variety that modders create, and Equipment-EX fixes that fundamental problem while adding quality-of-life improvements that should’ve been in the base game.
ArchiveXL
Most clothing mods won’t even load without this framework installed. ArchiveXL prevents resource conflicts when multiple mods try to add new items to the game.
Think of it as the traffic controller for all your modded content. Without it, you’d get crashes, missing textures, or mods simply not appearing in-game. It’s not glamorous, but it’s absolutely required.
- Enables custom resources to load without conflicts
- Required dependency for most clothing mods
- Prevents crashes and missing content
- Lightweight and stable
✅ Gameplay changes: Enables modded clothing to appear and function properly in-game
Install this first, before any clothing mods. It’s one of those behind-the-scenes tools that you’ll forget about once installed, but everything depends on it working correctly.
Virtual Atelier
Remember how immersion-breaking it was to spawn clothing through console commands? Virtual Atelier fixes that by creating in-game stores where you can actually buy modded clothing items.
The system integrates seamlessly with Night City’s economy. You access these stores through V’s computer, browse available items like you would at any clothing vendor, and purchase them with eddies. Many clothing mods come with their own specialized virtual stores.

Mod Installation Recommendations
Getting these mods running smoothly requires following proper installation procedures. Most clothing mods share common requirements, so installing the framework first saves headaches later.
- Start with the core framework mods: Cyber Engine Tweaks, RED4ext, ArchiveXL, TweakXL, and Equipment-EX are your foundation. Install these first, in order, and make sure they’re all updated to the latest versions. Outdated framework mods cause most compatibility issues.
- Use Vortex Mod Manager if you’re new to modding it handles most installation automatically and prevents common mistakes. For manual installation, always read the mod description carefully. Some mods require specific folder structures or additional steps.
- Check compatibility before installing multiple clothing mods. While most work together fine, some might conflict or require load order adjustments. The mod comments section usually contains compatibility information from other users.
- Virtual Atelier integration is optional but recommended. Many clothing mods support it, providing lore-friendly ways to acquire items instead of using console commands. Install Virtual Atelier before clothing mods to enable this functionality.
