📋 About This Mod

A small utility to restore your game to its un-modded state. Works for every game version on Windows and Unix, download the right file for your operating system.

Interactive troubleshooter —  Re-modding your game — Crashes after game update — buy me a coffee :)

This is not

a virus, trojan, or any other kind of malware.

However, it moves files on your hard disk, which malware also does. Many antivirus programs can't tell the difference ("False positive").

How do I know you're not lying?

You can see the entire source code on github. Use the bat to exe converter on the script and compare the generated files.

If you can't tell: this mod is auto-quarantined every time I update, and has to be manually reviewed by a Nexus moderator every time I update. (I also am a Nexus moderator - you decide if it makes me more or less trustworthy.)

I don't believe you.

That's okay, you're fine to not use Mod Remover, just refer to the wiki instead. But please go somewhere else for support.

  • []Make sure that you have enough disk space. This is your job, and the tool won't do it for you![/]

    []Download and extract directly to your Cyberpunk game directory[/]

    []If you are using a mod manager:

    []Purge all mods[/]

  • []turn off the mod manager (it will cry if you don't)[/]

  • []keep it off until you have a working game. Do not hit deploy. Do not launch the game via mod manager. Doing either will reset everything you just did.[/]

[/]

[]Run cyberpunk2077_disable_all_mods.bat by double-clicking it[/]

[]The folder with your backed-up mods will open automatically (if you close the window by accident, it is Cyberpunk 2077\_MOD_REMOVER_BACKUPS)[/]

[]Validate game files via Steam/Epic/GOG[/]

[]You now have a clean install.  [/]

[]Optional: Start modding the game again. (Check the linked page for how to do it safely.)[/]

If your computer won't run .bat files for some reason, you can find an .exe in the optional files (if Vortex and your virus scanner will let you — it's literally the same as the script, you can check the source code on github and/or compile your own executable if you want).

Why is this better than a clean install?

Unless you delete the game folder, a reinstall only removes game files. Since many mods provide extra files, that means that your "clean" install will already be broken.

This utility does the opposite, taking out only those files and directories that are changed or added by m
