📋 About This Mod
Spend more quality time with the Main characters with new conversations, taking them on gigs, chat about life, or hang out with them around the city. (Hit endorse if you enjoy the mod)
Night City Lives
Night City is full of people V supposedly loves, but after their questlines finish you never see them again. NCLives gives you much more time with the amazing characters of Cyberpunk as someone who has a life, spends time with you, has opinions, and gets hungry.
This companion framework brings you EIGHT people to explore Night City with.
Call Panam, Judy, River, Kerry, Goro, Claire or Rogue, and now Lucy out into the city. Have them follow you, talk to them, take them out to dinner.
Lucy from Edgerunners also has her own companion mod. <- real voice actor lines coming soon!
The mod is available in English, 日本語, Español, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Polski, Português (BR),Русский and 简体中文. Select your language in Esc -> Mods -> NCLives
Latest updates (V 1. 9)
- V now speaks with original voice lines (with audio! No extra dependencies needed)
- Night City Allies support — our Talk row is added to their menu instead of fighting them for the screen. One menu: their commands, our conversations. (Work in progress, but should integrate better now)
- 0-Engine compatibility (optional; shares the mod stack's per-frame state).
- Seating notice + "Seat them here" in CET menu (ONLY WITH AMM INSTALLED), proper seating is still in progress.
Fixed issues:
- The fast-travel crash — three separate causes, all closed.
- Companions left behind by a fast travel now always come back
- Naked companions on arrival (Kerry especially)
- Companions trailing slowly instead of walking beside you during a dinner outing.
- Bikes: your companion wouldn't ride along after you'd asked them to dinner.
- A fast travel no longer destroys an in-progress dinner (marker vanishing, dinner un-startable).

- In the Esc / Mods Menu useful settings are found, such as Male vs. Female V selection and Waifu mode" for romance-leaning conversations
💬 Panam and Judy now open up over time as they get to know you better
🚶 They move like people now: they learn your walking pace and match it, look at you, and walking beside you should feel more natural
📞 Call them through V's phone or pick a name in the NCLives CET window — they walk in and follow you through the city, into fights, wherever you're going.
💬Actually talk to them. Walk up, look at them, press F. Branching conv
