A stylish racing suit mod for Grace in Resident Evil 9: Requiem, borrowing design elements from Cyberpunk 2077, has taken the modding community by storm with nearly 9,000 downloads in hours.
The modding community for Resident Evil 9: Requiem has a new sensation on its hands. A user-created modification titled "Grace - Serena H1 Racing Suit," uploaded to Nexus Mods on May 22 by creator CursedSymbiote, has rapidly become one of the most popular RE:9 mods to date, racking up over 8,900 downloads and 1,300 endorsements within just hours of its release.
The mod replaces Grace's default "Film Noir" outfit with the iconic H1 racing suit worn by Serena from Cyberpunk 2077, creating a striking cross-game cosplay that blends RE:9's survival horror atmosphere with Cyberpunk's futuristic aesthetic. The high-contrast racing suit design, complete with sponsor decals and a sleek helmet, gives Grace an entirely different presence as she navigates the game's terrifying environments — a juxtaposition that players have embraced enthusiastically.
According to the mod description, the current version is still in an optimization phase. While the base model replacement works correctly, there are some known visual issues: skin textures can display anomalies when Grace gets caught in the rain or covered in blood, and minor clipping has been observed in certain animation sequences. The mod creator has confirmed these bugs will be addressed in future updates.
Installation requires both Fluffy Mod Manager and REFramework — two popular modding tools that RE:9 PC players are already familiar with. The process is straightforward: download the mod files, place them in the designated folder, and activate through the mod manager. The low technical barrier has contributed significantly to the mod's rapid adoption.
The success of this mod highlights the enduring creativity of the RE:9 modding scene. Since the game's launch earlier this year, the community has produced everything from gameplay tweaks to full character model replacements. The Grace Serena Racing Suit mod stands out for its polished aesthetic and the clever cross-game homage — a reminder that even after a game's release, the community's imagination can keep it feeling fresh and surprising.
