Reduce the height of the menu buttons to make room for additional menu items, remove the banner if Shadows of the Past is not installed, and hide some background elements to make the menu background more visible.

Cleaner Main Menu and Pause Menu

🎮 **Make the menu interface of "Cyberpunk 2077" more refreshing and tidy! **

While there are similar menu optimization mods on the market, I found that other mods had too many changes for my needs, so I decided to make this simpler version myself.

✨ Main functions

**🔧 Interface optimization and adjustment**

  • 📏 Reduce and rearrange the menu buttons to leave enough space for the module settings button
  • 🎯 Precisely adjust button height and spacing to improve visual comfort
  • 📱 Optimize the interface layout to ensure perfect display under various resolutions

**🎨 Visual beautification improvements**

  • 🚫 If the "Shadows of the Past" expansion pack is not installed, relevant banner ads will be automatically removed
  • 🌅 Hide some obstructive background elements to make the exquisite menu background image more prominent
  • 🖼️ Enhance the visibility of background images to fully demonstrate the game’s artistic design

🎯 Design Concept

The core concept of this mod is "less is more" - while maintaining the original menu style, only making necessary optimization adjustments. In addition to the above changes, all other elements remain original settings to ensure that the overall visual style of the game is not disrupted.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE

  • 🔄 Made based on the menu files of version 2.0+ of the game, it may not be compatible with older versions of the game
  • 📝 The latest update has included optimization of the pause menu (this feature was not included when originally uploaded)
  • 🎮 Perfectly adapted to the latest game version to ensure stable operation

💡 Usage suggestions

After installation, you will immediately feel the refreshing changes in the menu interface! The background image is more clearly visible, the button layout is more reasonable, and the overall operating experience is significantly improved. It is especially suitable for players who like a simple interface and want to better display the game's artistic design.

*Make every time you enter the menu a visual enjoyment! * 🎊

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
