📋 About This Mod

Basics:

Addon for Night City Interactions with drinking spots for the Heywood district. Partner drinks at Pinche Polo, Dicky Twister, Chubby Buffalo's, and El Coyote Cojo

Why the split into addons?

The original Night City Interactions was a huge monolithic mess! All spots, for all districts, and the Edgerunners stuff, everything, was just one scene file that was always loaded, everywhere in Night City!

Splitting the mod into individual districts, and within them individual scenes for each locations means that:

  • []Bugs are easier to fix[/]

    []New locations are easier to add[/]

    []Individual locations, and whole districts, only need to be loaded when nearby[/]

    []Different locations can be more customised[/]

    []Users can have better confidence in what is installed and running[/]

    How to install and 'start' the mod:

    Unzip the .zip file into the "Cyberpunk 2077" folder so that the .archive ends up in the "Cyberpunk 2077\archive\pc\mod" folder.

    If the mod is working popup will appear to inform you that it is (this will come after the 'core' popup, if that was installed at the same time)

    How to uninstall super safely

    The addon should be safe to uninstall at any time, but if you want to be super sure simply make sure you are not within ~50 of a Heywood bar

    • []Delete the #NCI_Heywood.archive file from  the "Cyberpunk 2077\archive\pc\mod" folder[/]

      Where are the Drinking Spots where you can drink with a companion?

      Pinche Polo

      Dicky Twister

      Chubby Buffalo's

      El Coyote Cojo

      When can I drink with a companion?

      Judy: Once she's friendly enough to accept calls from you

      Panam: Once the Nomads have moved camp

      River: Once you have complete the quest line where you meet him

      Kerry: Once he's friendly enough to accept your calls

      (Pinche Polo: None while the Fifth Column gig is active)

      Where else can V have a drink?

      Currently no solo spots in 1. 0. 0

      Handled by Night City Interactions (core)

      Known Issues/limitations:

      There is a gang member that may sit in the partner/right seat at the Pinche Polo bar, while the Fifth Column gig is active; for this reason you cannot drink there with partners while it is active. He should leave once the gig is complete but there is a chance, depending on how subtly you complete the gig, that he will still be there
