Cyberpunk 2077 mod “StreetStyle” makes clothing choices more meaningful

In the vanilla version of Cyberpunk 2077, you may find yourself wearing some absurd clothing combinations just for the sake of your armour stat. Bucket hats and high heels, biking boots and pencil skirts – it all goes on just to increase that number. What you wear in Night City doesn’t have much of an impact on your interactions with others, but one modder has introduced a system to make clothes more meaningful.

StreetStyle – Immersive Fashion System adds more depth to Cyberpunk’s existing clothing system by tying your outfits to the game’s skill checks. The PC mod gives each item of clothing specific skill bonuses in Strength, Reflexes, Technical, Intelligence and Cool (with a value between one and five for each category). These combine with your base stats to give you skill boosts that comes in handy for skill checks – such as those found in dialogue and device interactions. Items have been assigned stats according to their actual purpose: wearing Netrunning equipment, for instance, will boost your Intelligence stat – but it won’t provide much help with Strength and Reflexes, as the suits are not designed for combat.

You can’t simply boost your stats into the stratosphere, too: StreetStyle also adjusts the difficulty of skill checks to prevent them from being too easy with the buffs. The mod calculates your clothing bonus by adding up the total of all your clothing items for a single attribute, then dividing that number by seven, and adding it to your base stat.
