📋 About This Mod
Progress on this mod is abandoned. I made it public again by request. Do not use this and use https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/11586 instead.
What does this mod do?
Currently, this mod changes two checks in the "Follow The River" quest so that:
1. Joss suggests River likes V during the family dinner
2. River confronts V atop the water tower which allows you to kiss him and have sex with him
How to install this?
Drop gay_river_mod.archive in <install_folder>\archive\pc\mod
The most recent version of the mod already had the correct folder structure so you can just extract it to the install folder anyway. However at the end, you should above the file in the path above.
What files are affected?
This mod modifies the following files:
animations\quest\side_quests\sq029\sq029_04a_dinner\synced\synced__sq029_04a_dinner__player_female.anims
quest\side_quests\sq029\scenes\sq029_04a_dinner.scene
quest\side_quests\sq029\scenes\sq029_06a_sex.scene
Compatibility
I guess it's compatible with any mod that doesn't modify the files mentioned above
Known Issues
1. The camera spazzes out a bit before V kisses River.
3. Some clipping during the sex/kissing animations. Unfortunately your character's hair might be visible for a few moments during some parts of the sex scene. This can only be solved by adjusting the camera which is something I'm unable to do at the time. I guess if your V is bald you're in luck!
A work-in-progress gameplay mod for Cyberpunk 2077 that enables male V to romance River, a character normally exclusive to female V. With 643 endorsements and 18,309 downloads, it's a niche but popular choice for players seeking same-sex romance options. Last updated in October 2023.

✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 643 endorsements — players clearly want this.
- Opens up River's romance for male V, a requested feature.

⚠️ Cons

For Cyberpunk 2077 players who want to romance River as male V, especially those who've exhausted the base game's romance options. Skip if you prefer polished, fully-featured mods — this one is raw and unfinished.

- Since it's a work in progress, make a manual save before starting River's questline to avoid softlocks.
