📋 About This Mod
Basics:
Johnny can now spawn in V's other apartments, with the option to have him play guitar similar to the iguana & cat event in H10
Includes all apartments: The Glen, Corpo Plaza, and Japantown
As well as the smaller safehouses: Northside Motel, and Dogtown
When can/will he appear?
Once V has met with Takemura and then spoken with Johnny; he's changed his mind, no longer wants you dead!
He won't appear while a partner is visiting that apartment as part of the Romance Hangouts features (either modded or vanilla)
When can he play guitar?
Once Tapeworm has begun, and V has had the first proper chat with Johnny at the Sunset Motel or leaving Clouds (whichever comes first)
The option is also blocked if any of the Apartment Cats are sat/sleeping in the spot he would play guitar in. If/when the cat moves the option returns.
What if I want him to go away?
Simply tell him it's time to go, this can be from his idle or guitar points
He will also go away/shut up if V sleeps while he is playing guitar.
How do I get him to come back?
Simply ask for Johnny at one of the feature points:
Japantown's guitar, The Glen's and Corpo Plaza's record players, the Motel's bed, or Dogtown's dance spot.

Resetting to troubleshoot/debug/fix issues:

Simply delete the yHeresJohnny.archive and yHeresJohnny.archive.xl files from the "Cyberpunk 2077\archive\pc\mod" folder.
