Cyberpunk 2077 interface mods

HUD Painter

Does a standard red UI burn out the retina? HUD Painter is the ultimate solution for those who want complete control over the color scheme of the interface. This is not just a color replacement, but a full-fledged set of editing tools built right into the game, allowing you to customize each shade to the style of your V.

• Adds a special in-game menu to customize colors.
• Supports separate color profiles for standard UI and Johnny Silverhand (Relic) theme.
• Provides advanced controls such as RGB sliders and entering HEX codes for accurate color selection.
• Includes a real-time preview widget to see changes right away.
• Allows you to create, save and share an unlimited number of color presets.
• Customize world-map colors, including roads and buildings.

✅ Gameplay changes: This mod is all about aesthetic personalization. It allows you to create a visual experience that is more pleasing to the eyes or just fits the specific atmosphere you are aiming for. You no longer have to put up with aggressive red if you prefer cold blue or elegant white.

Limited HUD

For those of us who believe that less means more, Limited HUD is a must. This mod solves the problem of constantly cluttering the screen by hiding the default interface elements. Information only appears when it is contextually relevant, creating incredibly clean and cinematic gameplay without sacrificing important information when you need it.

• Hides core widgets such as the minimap, health bar, and quest tracker.
• Shows them contextually, such as health when damaged or ammunition while aiming.
• Offers a deep customization of the appearance of each widget: during combat, stealth, use of transport, scanning, etc.
• Hotkeys toggle the whole HUD with F8 or the minimap with F6.
• Adjusts widget transparency for a subtler appearance.

✅ Gameplay changes: greatly improves immersion. A clean screen keeps your attention on Night City rather than the interface, encouraging you to watch your surroundings instead of staring at the minimap. It completely changes how the game feels.

HUDitor

Ever wanted to just take a mini-map and move it to the bottom of the screen? Or reduce the quest tracker? HUDitor makes this a reality. It’s a powerful in-game tool that solves the problem of rigid vanilla interface layout by giving you drag-and-drop control over almost every HUD element.

• Allows you to move and resize most major HUD widgets.
• It has an easy-to-use in-game editor activated by a simple hotkey (Shift+U).
• Drag widgets with the mouse and resize them with the wheel.
• Your custom layout is saved and remains after the game restarts.

✅ Gameplay changes: HUDitor is a masterpiece of QoL mods. It is ideal for users of ultra-wide monitors who find standard placement of elements uncomfortable, or for anyone who has specific layout preferences. Finally, you can organize your screen exactly the way you want.

Spicy HUDs — More UI and HUD Colors

If HUD Painter’s extensive customization seems excessive, Spicy HUDs offers a simpler solution to the aggressive red interface. Its clean, ready-made color schemes look excellent and are easy to install.

• It offers 9 different color presets to choose from.
• Options include popular combinations such as yellow/turquoise (“Cyberpunk’d”), pink/turquoise and plain white.
• Designed specifically to improve readability, most presets use white for secondary text.
• Simple installation, especially through Vortex Mod Manager.

✅ Gameplay changes: For players who want a fresh look for their interface right away without wasting time on the settings menu. The mod makes the UI more pleasing to the eye and can significantly improve text clarity.

Project E3 — HUD

Have you watched a gameplay demo from E3 2018 and fallen in love with that particular interface aesthetic? This mod is for you. It meticulously recreates the look and feel of that early HUD, solving the “problem” that the UI of the final game looks different than it originally showed.

• Reworks almost every HUD element to match the 2018 demo.
• Changes colors, fonts, animations and interface positions.
• Covers health and ammunition, the hacking minigame, and phone menus.
• Remember that this is a complete overhaul and will probably conflict with other HUD mods, including HUDitor and HUD Painter.

✅ Gameplay changes: This mod is purely for aesthetics and nostalgia. It doesn’t add new features, but provides a very specific, polished look that many players prefer.

SimpleToggleHud — CET

Sometimes you just want the interface to go completely out of the way. This mod will satisfy your desire to quickly and easily hide everything, perfect for taking screenshots.

• Provides one customizable hotkey to turn on and off the entire HUD.
• It is based on the Cyber Engine Tweaks (CET) framework.
• Instantly hides or restores all interface elements with a single keystroke.
• Restores the HUD on exit so the next launch is not blank.

✅ Gameplay Changes: An indispensable tool for screenshot artists and anyone who loves the cinematic experience. The ability to instantly hide the HUD without navigating the menu is invaluable for capturing that perfect shot of the rain-drenched streets of Night City.

Streamlined HUD

Vanilla HUD can sometimes feel as if its elements were developed in isolation. Streamlined HUD fixes this by subtly reworking the design of the various interface components to create a more unified and visually consistent experience, while respecting the underlying artistic style of the game.

• Unifies widget design, including the health bar, quest tracker, and ammunition counter.
• Removes harsh red backgrounds from the phone and weapon wheel for a cleaner look.
• Designed for high compatibility with most other major UI mods.
• Improves the overall integrity of the interface without fundamentally changing it.

✅ Gameplay changes: a vanilla-plus mod. Small changes work together to make the whole interface feel polished and professionally designed. For players who prefer cohesive aesthetics without a radical overhaul.

Mod installation recommendations

Before downloading, remember that most of these mods have dependencies. Install the core modding frameworks first to make sure everything works correctly.

Always install these first:

1. Cyber Engine Tweaks (CET): The foundation for many advanced mods.
2. RED4ext: A script extender needed for a huge number of mods.
3. redscript: compiles mods that add or change game scripts.
4. Input Loader: Needed for mods that add new custom hotkeys.
5. Mod Settings: Adds a special in-game menu to customize the mods that support it.

Always read the requirements on each mod page carefully before installing. This will save you a lot of headaches later.

Create the perfect user interface

Whether you want to rework the entire color scheme, move elements for a perfect fit, or just hide everything for a cinematic walk, there’s a tool for you. The right combination of these mods can fundamentally change the way you perceive the game.
