HOW TO - Edit any .archive mod with WolvenKit

waddup my fellow 2077 homies :cool:

 

If you have a .archive mod - you can open it up and edit it to perfect your Cyberpunk experience!

 

Here is how to tweak, edit, personalize any .archive mod you download:

 

Basically, WolvenKit extracts files into a project folder so you can work on them. Then you re-package into a new .archive to apply to the game when finished

• download WolvenKit, it should set itself up easily + find your game directory no problemo
• create a NEW PROJECT - place it wherever
• TOP - VIEW tab can re-open/ close sections, + you can drag/ snap sections together
• click on "Asset Browser" window in the main work area (to focus the section)
• click on "Toggle Mod Asset Browser" at the TOP
• select any main mod .archive folder
• click on upper left checkbox (a.k.a. select all) inside the window
• click on "Add Selected Item(s) to Project" at the top
• now you can freely browse whatever stuff the original .archive mod is changing (inside the main "Project Explorer" window)
• click or double-click on files to view
• explore, tweak, edit, delete whatever you want
• when you think you are done... click on "Pack Project" at the TOP - it will automatically create a new .archive mod file inside your 2077->Mod folder
• delete + backup the original .archive mod before running the game ( ^ you just made a new one to replace it)
• keep or delete project folder

Enjoy personalizing any mod you like & have a splendid time in Cyberpunk!

Thanks for sharing. This helped me a lot.

Alternatively, if you want to use a folder that's not the main Cyberpunk mods folder, you can go in Tools>Settings and under "Additional Mod Directory" add any folder on your PC.

 

Any .archive file you add in this folder will appear in the Asset Browser when you activate "Mod Browser". Normally they should appear dead last.
