Cyber Engine Tweaks
What Cyber Engine Tweaks is
Cyber Engine Tweaks is a free framework for making Cyberpunk 2077 mods with Lua and accessing internal scripting features. It includes a Dear ImGui interface for mods, a console, and a TweakDB editor for advanced use. Developer options include a diagnostics window, assertions, a debug menu, and logging game options. The framework also offers optional quality-of-life patches, such as removing pedestrians and traffic, disabling temporal antialiasing, suppressing intro movies, and skipping the start menu. These can be enabled or disabled in settings or configuration files, but changes require a game restart. RED4ext must be installed before Cyber Engine Tweaks. The project distributes its current release through GitHub Releases and provides wiki documentation for installation, getting started, usage, and modding. Windows is supported, while Linux use is documented through Proton, including Steam and non-Steam/Wine setup instructions. The project tracks Cyberpunk 2077 releases, and its Patch 2.31 release notes list support for game version 2.31. The repository includes an MIT license that permits use, modification, and distribution subject to its conditions.
