📋 About This Mod

Icon Variety

- Over 60 different vanilla icons are utilized, for different items. (Ammo, for instance, displays a different icon per type, instead of generic magazine icons.)

Mod Settings Profile

- Loot Icons Extension utilizes Mod Settings, so that you have a degree of control over everything listed below.

Icon Substitution

- Loot Icons Extension can further customize the "base set" of icons, using a touch of common sense and some underutilized vanilla icons. (See the screenshots above.) One new icon is also added for non-alcohol beverages.

- Mod authors (perhaps you) can now create and assign new loot icons to custom items. And it's very easy. (See Mod Dev Info below, for details.)

- HUD icons can be substituted for individual non-melee weapons you find in Night City. (Originally a psiberx mod, if you've been here a while.)

Icon Appearance

- Icons Sorting: When staring directly at a container or corpse, icons will reorganize themselves to be in the same order as the items in the loot window. QoL.

- Icons can be seen through walls, if you'd like. Requiring the scanner, if you'd like.

- Icons can display at increased or decreased scale, and either horizontally or vertically.

Icon Tinting

- Icons can be tinted--or even randomly tinted per game session--from a small set of basic colors per item quality.

- Custom icons can have custom tints that deviate from the standard item quality tint.

- Quest items can be set to tint differently, so they always stand out.

- Icons can all be tinted to one color by choosing a theme tint--from a small set of basic colors that fit the game.

- Icons can be tinted to a special palette by choosing the unique Mox theme, which factors in item quality.

- Some corpses with loot may not get icons (or loot windows). Here's the fix: Corpse Loot Fix

- Tagged containers show the tagged icon, rather than loot icons.

- Duplicate icons are intentionally not removed, as you're probably used to. There's always one icon per item.

- This mod contains an attempt to correct the ammo icon bug (which causes ammo that is alone in a container to have no icon).

- If you have CET and you'd like to know your current (perhaps random) icon tints, use console command: Game. ReportIconTints()

- This mod does not change icon visibility range.

- Loot Icons Extension contains a DLL file, which attempts to correct a vanilla bug. If you have anti-virus or anti-malware software that detects it and freaks out, be smart: redownload the mod and redeploy it to overwrite the DLL, just in case actual malware hiding on your PC replaced it with something legitimately dangerous.

- If you uninstall mods manually, do not fo

  • Actively updated (September 2025) so it's likely compatible with current game versions.
  • Customization focus means you can tweak icons to your liking, not just get a static replacement.

⚠️ Cons

  • UI mods can conflict with other interface overhauls; you'll need to test load order.
  • May not add new icons for every item — 'expandedness' is vague, so expectations might need adjusting.
