Looking for a new way to experience a familiar story? While Detroit: Become Human has a smaller modding community than many other games, there are still plenty of interesting ways to customize your experience. Here are some of my favourite mods, from character redesigns and visual upgrades to some more unusual changes.
The World Of Detroit: Become Human
Detroit: Become Human is a choice-driven adventure game set in a futuristic version of Detroit in 2038. Androids have become a normal part of everyday life, working as everything from household assistants to caregivers and police officers. You play as three different androids—Connor, Kara, and Markus—whose stories develop based on the choices you make. With multiple possible outcomes, relationships, and branching storylines, even small decisions can have a major impact on how the game unfolds.
Modding Detroit: Become Human
Unlike some games with huge modding communities, Detroit: Become Human has a smaller selection of mods. Most modifications focus on changing the game’s visuals or customizing its characters rather than completely changing the story or gameplay. These can include character appearance changes, reshades, texture edits, and other visual tweaks. While the options are more limited, mods can still be a fun way to personalize the game and give familiar characters and locations a slightly different look.
My Favourite Modpacks
Chimera Connor — Gives Connor a dramatic new appearance, replacing his usual look with the Chimera Connor design. It’s one of the more popular character mods on the game’s Nexus page.
RK900 Connor Replacer — Replaces Connor’s RK800 model with the RK900, letting you play through the game with a different version of Connor.
Detroit Become Human Launcher — Lets you customize the character displayed on the game’s main menu, including choosing a specific character or having one randomly selected each time you launch.
AX400 Clarity Detroit Become Human Reshade — A subtle visual enhancement that improves colour, contrast, and sharpness while keeping the game’s original look.
Disable DOF Patcher — Removes the game’s depth-of-field effect for a clearer image, and is designed to be simple to install without additional programs.
Final Character Look for the Whole Game — Changes character appearances throughout the game to their looks from the good ending, making it an interesting choice for replaying after finishing the story.
Every Character Randomly Model Swapped — A more chaotic option that randomly swaps character models, making familiar scenes look very different.
