An essential modding tool
Material and Texture Override is a free-to-use mod created by Nim for the popular action role-playing game Cyberpunk 2077. This utility is essential for modding the game, as it enables the game to load new materials and textures, which is needed by many mods such as Blade Runner Inspired Malorian Reskin and Samurai Tank-Tops.
Cyberpunk 2077 is incapable of loading things that are not already existing in its material database, which is a big problem for the modding community. Material and Texture Override was created to solve this problem, expanding modding capabilities. It’s compatible with Cyberpunk 2077 REDmod.
Required by many mods
Cyberpunk 2077’s release was a nightmare for CD Projekt Red, but after several major and minor updates, the game has become stable and is seeing renewed interest. It now has an official expansion in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty and the player count is growing. The game’s modding community is more active than ever and more and more mods get released.
Material and Texture Override is often required by mods available online. If a mod adds a new texture or material, no matter how small, it will need this mod in order to work. For instance, new mods inspired by the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime like Edgerunner Lucy’s Pistol and Edgerunner Rebecca’s Pistols require this mod for installation. The mod is designed to future proof and is unlikely to require any patching.
This mod is essential for anyone who wants to do a good amount of modding in Cyberpunk 2077. With so many mods requiring this override, there’s not a lot you can do without it. That being said, this mod doesn’t do anything by itself. It doesn’t make any gameplay changes or add anything new. It only allows other mods to work.
For more modding opportunities
If you enjoy playing Cyberpunk 2077 and want to install plenty of mods to enrich your gameplay experience, you need to install this override. It greatly expands the number of mods you can enjoy. Since it’s futureproofed, you don’t have to worry about it just suddenly stopping to work. However, keep in mind that this mod won’t add anything new to the gameplay by itself.
