📋 About This Mod
You ever walked the streets of NC at night, stumbled upon a road block made from burning cars populated by maniacs with automatic weapon shooting on anyone in sight? And then realized that if you now punch a civilian the cops will be here in 20 seconds to shoot you, and they'll still ignore all the mayham around you? Isnt that a bit unimmersive?
Thats why I made this mod.
What it does: Deactivates 1-star wanted levels in the 'bad part' of Night City.
What are those 'bad parts'?

Some remarks:
-
[]Once you are on two stars, the cops will come after you
[]If you have a star when you enter a lawless area, the cops might still come after you (especially if they are in sight).
[]If you threaten a cop, shoot at him, attack him, fire close to him, he will still attack you, he will defend himself. But if you do so in a Lawless Area, you wont get a wantet level for that.
[]If you kill a cop, then its personal, lawless or not
[]New in V2. 0: If you just keep killing people, the cops will send someone to have a look
Version 2. 0 New Features
-Police patroles are now deactivated in all but the 'good parts' of NIght City.

(Seriously, I counted. In Northside, which is a really rundown district rougly every tenth npc was a cop. You see more cops on patrol in Night City in 5 minutes than I saw in my whole live).
-There is now also a mechanic to send the cops sooner or later if you really overdo it in the bad areas
