NOW FEATURING THE PRESET MANAGER

How to use the new preset manager:

The preset manager will automatically appear on the left side if you open the character creator. It allows you to save your current character appearance, share it, use it in new game saves, back it up, and so on.

In order to load a preset, just click on the name of the preset on the top left of the character customization screen. The preset will be applied immediately and you will be able to freely customize or just play using it.

Saving presets is just as easy as loading them: Create/modify your character, enter the name of the preset in the text box on the bottom right of the character customization screen and press the "SAVE CHARACTER PRESET" button. Your preset will be immediately saved and will appear in the list of saved presets above.

by the way: all presets are saved in

    []extract the archive into your cyberpunk directory (or just use the vortex mod manager)[/]

    []Play the game[/]

Uninstallation:

remove all installed files/folders from my mod:

  • []Cyberpunk 2077/r6/scripts/appearanceChangeUnlocker[/]

    []Cyberpunk 2077/bin/x64/plugins/cyber_engine_tweaks/mods/AppearanceChangeUnlocker[/]

    []Delete the Cyberpunk 2077/r6/cache/final.redscripts.modded (it will be recreated on the next launch of the game)[/]

    (Attention, make sure you backup all presets before deleting this folder)

Known bugs:

  • []Sometimes clicking on a preset doesn't apply all parameters. If that happens, just press the button again and wait a second or two. (fixed in 3. X. X)[/]

    []Installing new CCXL Mods will break presets. There is unfortunately no way to fix this using the current save format.[/]
