📋 About This Mod
If you're anything like me, you bought Gorilla Arms as soon as you could afford to because you really wanted to punch some people in the face, and now you haven't seen V's fingernails in months and you kind of miss them? Here's a mod to fix that! Install one archive each for the right and left hand (total: 2)--same color if you want them to match, but there's no law against mixing it up. You can also install only one archive and leave the other arm as the vanilla Gorilla Arms appearance, for that sweet, sweet asymmetric aesthetic. Post your pics! I would love to see folks getting use out of my work.
Q: Doesn't this just do the same thing as Subtle Gorilla Arms?
A: Yes, but instead of adding gloves or an accessory, it adds fingernails. If you're fine with the default nails then use that mod and not this one!
Q: (insert color here) doesn't look right/isn't working!
A: I use ReShade to brighten up and remove the greenish tint from the game graphics, so the colors may appear a bit different on your screen than in the pictures. Additionally, some colors are VERY similar to each other. Dark green, dark blue, and black look distinct from each other up close, but with a bit of distance (say, an arm's length) they are functionally identical in most lighting. Same with crimson, brown, and plum.
If the color isn't showing up at all/is completely the wrong color, please let me know in the comments! I try to test every archive, but there are 108 of them for this mod (54 colors x 2 hands) and it's entirely possible I missed something somewhere.
Q: What's the deal with long nails vs. extra long nails?
A: To have as many colors as possible for this mod, I used three different fingernail meshes from the game files--the player character's nails, the generic NPC nails, and Hanako's nails. Hanako's nails (the solid gold color) can only be short, but the player and NPC nails both have a short and a long version. All short nails are the same length, but the "long" player nails and the "long" NPC nails are actually very different sizes. See the IMAGES tab for a side-by-side comparison. Certain colors are only available as player nails (long) and other colors are only available as NPC nails (extra long).
LONG ONLY: crimson, French dark, off black, purple, white, red gradient, gold gradient, turquoise gradient, purple stripe, black gold, blue silver, chrome black, chrome white, chrome stripe, color ends, five colors, chrome gradient, green heart, ragged black, ragged pink, red gold, red heart, white stripe, zigzag, blue splash, purple splash, teal splash, fire, bone.
EXTRA LONG ONLY: holo (animated), black, pin

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 693 endorsements and nearly 29k downloads.
- Huge variety with 54 nail colors, including unique shades you can't get in the base game.
- Plays nice with other arm mods, so you can mix and match your look.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in September 2022 — might not work with the latest Cyberpunk 2077 patches.
- Only changes appearance; if you wanted actual cyberware functionality, this isn't it.
For Cyberpunk 2077 players who want to ditch the clunky Gorilla Arms look for something more natural but still stylish. Perfect for fashion-focused V's who love customizing their nails. Skip if you're after gameplay changes or if you're on the latest patch and worried about compatibility.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a cosmetic replacer, make sure you have the base Gorilla Arms cyberware equipped in-game to see the change.
- Check the mod's comments section for any compatibility notes with other arm mods you might have installed.
- If you're using a mod manager, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
