Purple Dress TifaAs the name suggests, this mod puts Tifa in the purple dress for most of the game. She usually wears this dress for a short time during one mission later in the game, assuming youchose the ‘mature’ optionearly on. The silver dress (sporty) ishere, and you can find the exotic dresshere.
FFVIIHookThis mod unlocks the dev console, letting you get rid of dynamic resolution, which attempts to keep the frame rate stable by adjusting performance during busy scenes. It’s a solution that can help out lower-end PCs, but it doesn’t do much for anyone else.
Equipment Rebalance - Increased Materia SlotsThis mod adds an additional materia slot to all weapons, giving them a new cap of seven slots. Most armour also gains an extra pair of linked materia slots. In addition, this mod also adjusts some of the stat balancing on gear, giving armour more defense.
Gorgeous Dress CloudI couldn’t possibly leave this one out of a FF7R mods list. This one putsCloud in his Gorgeous Dress for the entire playthrough—cutscenes and battles included. Bonus points if you can keep a straight face during some of the more serious moments.
Sexy Dress AerithLike the Tifa mod above, this one gives Aerith her red dress for the whole game, even during battles. The variants are also available for theCheap Dressand theOrdinary Dress.

In 2021, she was offered a full-time position on the PC Gamer team where she takes every possible opportunity to talk about World of Warcraft and Elden Ring. When not writing guides, most of her spare time is spent in Azeroth—though she’s quite partial to JRPGs too. One of her fondest hopes is to one day play through the ending of Final Fantasy X without breaking down into a sobbing heap. She probably has more wolves in Valheim than you.
