What Cyber Engine Tweaks is
Cyber Engine Tweaks is a free scripting framework for people making mods for Cyberpunk 2077. It lets modders write Lua scripts and access internal game scripting features. The framework includes a Dear ImGui interface for mods, a console, and a TweakDB editor for advanced use. Developer options include an ImGui diagnostics window, ImGui assertions, a debug menu, and a way to dump game options to the log. Included quality-of-life patches can be switched on or off in settings or configuration files, with changes taking effect after a game restart. Listed examples include removing pedestrians and traffic, disabling temporal antialiasing, suppressing intro movies, and skipping the start menu. RED4ext must be installed before Cyber Engine Tweaks. Current releases are distributed through GitHub Releases, and the official wiki provides installation, getting-started, usage, and modding documentation. The project tracks Cyberpunk 2077 releases; its Patch 2.31 release notes list support for game version 2.31. Windows is supported, and Linux use is documented through Proton with Steam and non-Steam/Wine instructions. The repository includes an MIT license permitting use, modification, and distribution subject to its conditions; it provides the software without warranty.
