📋 About This Mod

Citizens of Photomode aims to add groups of NPCs per entry in photomode, there are many cool NPCs in Night City that don't get the attention they deserve!

This mod does NOT add individual or custom NPCs, instead each entry is an NPC group and each appearance is a different NPC or a variation of one as created by CDPR.

The mod is not exhaustive to all NPC groups, there are simply too many and it's a headache to make heads or tails of.

- Big boys and girls: Currently no entries for Male/Fem Big NPCs as their apps are too small in my opinion to warrant a separate entry for  each i would need to look into combining them in groups in order to reduce entry count.

- Animals: Most of them utilize the Massive body which is not supported by any mod so i haven't added them (potential future entry)

- The mod currently focuses on gangs and civilians, as such i have not added any military or law enforcement NPCs, i might look into it in the future.

- If you see a cool NPC you would want added please let me know, please scan them with AMM, or preferably RedHotTools if you have it and provide a screenshot, i don't feel like going on a wild goose chase for NPCs 😄. As state previously i will not add to this mod single NPCs, so if it's not part of a group i missed unlucky. Or you can check if Photomode NPCs Extended has already added it.

- Added an ACM DIY Patch file that will add 15 components to all appearances that can be used with Appearance Creator Mod .

This file can also be used as a template to add empty/diy components to any NPCs appearances.

Simply add the path to the .app file as a new entry to the .xl file, this will add the components to all appearances in that .app file.

Make sure to not break the indents at the start of a new row (best to duplicate an existing row and replace the .app file path) 😊

Major THANK YOU to Manavortex for the advice on how to do this without having to edit thousands of appearances manually.

- v1. 1: Added NCPD, Arasaka and Android NPCs (androids not available in AIO at this time), fixed icons to show selector outline.

Important to know and potential issues:

 - Currently there seems to be a "limit" on how many entries you can have in photomode, if an NPC won't spawn and load the photomode menu you are probably over that limit. If that happens you can check your PMEX log files, any entry after "index 315" will have this issue, keep this in mind if you decide to download the AIO file. Cyberpunk 2077\red4ext\plugins\PhotoModeEx

- What can you do:

- Reduce the entries of NPCs you add to photomode to index 315 or lower.

- Move an NPC
