The game has quite a few options when it comes to character customization. From different body sliders to countless makeup, tattoo, and augmentation options. And, of course, that includes piercings.

The modded piercings look bolder and much more emphasized, which is exactly what some people were looking for. It should be noted that the mod replaces the vanilla options. Therefore, players are encouraged to check out the collection beforehand.

Eye mods are always among the more popular within any community. Partially because many other mods incorporate them and partially because players always want more iris options.

The mod adds a lot of new options, surely satisfying the most meticulous of character artists. Aside from the new options, the default colors look so much more vibrant and lively, complementing pretty much any and every character. With over 39 new options, it is no wonder that the mod has garnered more than 80,000 downloads.

While the mod doesn’t touch on any actual game mechanics, it does look epic. The mod does come in both body types, so every character can now enjoy the dashing and imposing look.

It’s also a great mod for players who enjoy “cosplaying” in the game, as the harness can be a part of many famous characters’ looks. The author continues to work on the mod and plans on adding more features and bug fixes in the future.

Panam is one of the best romanceable characters in the game and definitely one of the most popular ones. As such, it is no wonder that a 4K texture upgrade is one of the most downloaded Character mods on the website.

The mod comes in 3 different variations, and players can choose whichever version they prefer. Besides the improved textures, the variations also differ in the smaller details, such as makeup on skin complexion.

Claire is a charming bartender at the Afterlife bar and can become a trusty and supportive ally to V. In a place such as Night City, friends are few and far between, and having someone positive to talk to is even rarer.

But another detail that caught the players’ attention is her great hairstyle. Unfortunately, it isn’t at all available to V, or at least it wasn’t. The mod adds her dashing hairdo to character creation, allowing players to share their look with one of the best bartenders and people around.

The same mod author that improved Panam’s textures also put the work into Judy’s model, and judging by over 200,000 downloads, people approved. Overall, she got a similar treatment, with improved textures, a different complexion, and touched-up makeup.

The only difference is that there aren’t several versions of it, but just one. The amount of detail is quite impressive, and the overall quality is fantastic. The author also posted several other character mods and options and has deservedly garnered a small following within the community.
