Mods for new faces in Cyberpunk 2077

EKT Custom Character Creator — FEMV ONLY

The standard female V faces are fine, but they get old quickly. You see the same faces on every other player’s character. EKT Custom Character Creator tackles that head-on, throwing out the vanilla options and replacing them with a huge range of new ones. The sheer choice can be overwhelming at first.

• Replaces all 21 original female V faces with 105 brand new, high-end variants.
• Introduces a mesh with twice the polygon density, producing smoother jawlines without angular edges.
• Adds longer and more detailed eyelashes that finally look like real eyelashes.
• It offers about 4 million possible face combinations. Yeah, millions.

✅ Gameplay impact: fundamentally changes character creation from a 10-minute dash into a full session where you can make someone truly unique. The more detailed model makes V look much better in cutscenes and Photo Mode, where close-ups used to reveal angular texture seams. Essential if you are tired of seeing clones of your V online.

E3 Face CYBERWARE — Original and Redesign

Remember V from the E3 2018 trailer, with those thin, stylish facial cyberware lines everyone loved? They never made it into the finished game, until now. This mod carefully recreates that iconic look for both male and female V.

• Hand-drawn, near-perfect facial implant re-creation from E3 2018.
• Available in two versions: the original E3 design and a redesigned version.
• The modular design allows the implants to be applied to the upper face, cheeks and neck individually.
• You can combine them with other vanilla or modded cyberware to create a distinctive appearance.
• Fully customizable colors, metallicity and roughness.

✅ Gameplay impact: although purely cosmetic, the mod adds atmosphere and style. It makes V look like the gritty Night City mercenary we were originally promised. Perfect for role-playing and, frankly, it simply looks cool. No more bulky chrome stuck onto the face; it looks integrated and stylish.

VTK Realistic Facial Details — FemV and Feminine NPCs

Sometimes the little details make all the difference. Vanilla Cyberpunk 2077 faces can look a little plastic. VTK replaces the basic facial detail maps with textures from realistic 3D scans, adding a subtle but effective layer of realism.

• Replaces the standard facial normal and roughness maps with new maps based on scans.
• Adds realistic skin texture, pores and lip details.
• It comes in several versions, so you can choose how glossy your lips should be.
• You can install only for V or all female NPCs globally.

✅ Gameplay impact: V’s face responds to light more realistically. Skin gains genuine texture, and lips no longer look painted on. In dialogue-heavy scenes, that detail makes the character feel more alive and expressive. It is one of those mods you install once and then wonder how you played without it.

Kala’s Eyes Standalone V2

The standard eye options are rather boring, let’s be honest: a handful of basic colors and little else. Kala’s Eyes removes those limits with a huge collection of custom colors and styles, from striking realism to pure science fiction.

• Adds 39 new, separate eye variants to the character creator.
• Includes a mixture of realistic human colors, vivid fantasy shades and styles for cyborgs/androids.
• Three different versions are available, some with glowing rings inspired by characters like Hanako.
• Compatible with both male and female V.

✅ Gameplay impact: the eyes are the windows to the soul, right? This mod gives V a piercing, memorable gaze. Want heterochromia or fully glowing cyberoptics? It makes both possible and adds another layer of customization to define your character’s identity through appearance.

Vessnelle’s 4k Complexions

Male V’s vanilla skin textures can look blurry and low-quality, especially on a powerful PC. Vessnelle’s mod addresses that directly by replacing every standard skin type with crisp, highly detailed 4K versions.

• Replaces all 5 vanilla skin types for male V.
• Provides quality 4K textures for a much cleaner and more detailed look.
• Optional files with micro-details are also available for even greater realism.

✅ Gameplay impact: the difference is immediately visible. Skin looks sharper, with clearer imperfections and details, and V looks less like a game character and more like a real person. It is a simple texture replacement, but makes a big difference in screenshots and close-up dialogue. Just make sure texture quality is set to maximum in the game settings.

Immersive Cyberware

This mod focuses more on function than appearance, but it is directly connected to V’s cyberware. In vanilla, your entire interface is simply there. Immersive Cyberware makes most UI elements depend on your installed Kiroshi optics, a brilliant idea for immersion.

• Your minimap, quest log, and other interface elements depend on installed cyberware.
• Adds up to 8 lens slots to your Kiroshi optics.
• Different lenses give different interface functions: X-ray, threat detector, radar, and more.
• You need to really equip the right lenses to see certain information.

✅ Gameplay impact: makes you feel as though you are actually using cyberware. Want a minimap? Install a radar lens. Need enemy outlines? Equip a threat detector. It changes how you think about your cyberware setup and makes the world feel more grounded and believable. A fantastic detail for deeper role-playing.

Face mod installation recommendations

Before you start downloading everything and installing it, remember that most of these Cyberpunk 2077 appearance mods need core libraries, or frameworks. Install those first and save yourself some frustration.

You will definitely need:

• Cyber Engine Tweaks: The Basis of Cyberpunk 2077 Modding
• RED4ext: A script extender that many mods depend on.
• ArchiveXL: allows the game to load new, modified archive files.
• TweakXL: Allows mods to add new items and change game settings.
• Material and Texture Override: Required for most visual mods that change textures or materials.

Always read the installation instructions on the mod page carefully. Some mods have specific loading order or conflicts to be aware of.
