PES 2021 Cloth FX 1.0 - Football Life 2027
Modding communities for Pro Evolution Soccer 2021 and SP Football Life 2027 continue to refine visual immersion on the FOX Engine. Among recent community releases, Cloth FX 1.0 by modder Kris1982 (built upon Alex10’s cloth-render v42 approach) introduces real-time fabric physics and dynamic movement to player kits.
This guide details what Cloth FX 1.0 offers, the core improvements over previous iterations, system prerequisites, and important compatibility considerations.
Cloth FX is now available for FL 2027. Shirts and shorts move, fold and flutter like real fabric when players run, turn, jump and celebrate, in matches, replays, cutscenes, edit mode and the line-ups.
New in 1.0
This is the first FL 2027 release. It has everything from Cloth FX for FL 2026, plus:
- Collar fixed: no more dark crack opening between the collar and the shirt in the wind (edit mode, menus, line-ups).
- Smooth wind: the fabric keeps the same natural flutter for the whole session. No more shaking or vibrating after a few minutes.
- Sharper kits in motion: logos and collar edges smear less with the game's anti-aliasing.
- New default preset: a steady breeze at 6 m/s, with the neck in the game's own fit.
Features
- Works on all stock kit models: normal, tight and tucked shirts, and all shorts
- Whole shorts move, fitted to the thighs, with no knees or legs showing through
- Collar and sleeves move with the shirt, and the chest badge moves with it too
- Fold shading: moving cloth is lit by its own folds and creases
- Wind: breeze, gusts or swirling, with every player moving a little differently. It turns off by itself in the players' tunnel
- Settings in the Sider overlay: swing, bounce, gravity, neck, wind, shorts fit and more
- Cloth distance option to save CPU on players far from the camera
- Looks the same at any frame rate
Install
- Copy the modules and content folders from the zip into your Sider folder (where sider.exe is). Merge with the existing folders.
-
In sider.ini, make sure these lines are in the [sider] section:
luajit.ext.enabled = 1 lua.module = "cloth-fx.lua" - If you use another cloth mod (cloth-render.lua, cloth-render-fl.lua, ClothPhysics.lua), put a ; in front of its lua.module line. Only one cloth mod can run at a time.
- Start the game through Sider.
Coming from the FL26 version? Your settings carry over. To get the new 1.0 defaults, delete content\cloth-render\cloth-fx.ini before copying, or press 6 in game.
In-game controls (Sider overlay)
- 9 / 0 choose a setting, - / + change it
- 8 reset the chosen setting, 6 reset everything to the defaults
- 7 cloth on / off
Every setting is explained in the README inside the zip.
Something looks wrong?
Press 4 with the overlay open while it happens. That saves content\cloth-render\cloth_capture.bin. Post or send that file together with your sider.log, and say which screen you were in.
