📋 About This Mod
Basics:
Addon for Night City Interactions with drinking spots for the Watson district. Partner drinks at Tom's Diner, Lizzies, and Afterlife; plus solo drink spots
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 Watson bar
