📋 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

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

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

      Tom's Diner

      When can I drink with a companion?

      Jackie: Whenever he's not busy (example: waiting for you at All Foods, best time is after seeing Vik but before meeting Dex)

      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

      Where else can V have a drink?

      Kabuki Roundabout kiosk

      NID Docks stall

      Handled by Night City Interactions (core)

      Known Issues/limitations:

      Waitress pathing in Lizzies seems to vary depending on various quest or save, they may, under some circumstances, try to path to the bar between V and a partner
