📋 About This Mod


Player Replacer

Play as any NPCs while keeping the ability to swap your V!

Work for both Female and Male Vs

This mod is mainly for fan artists that want to tell stories with their screenshots, gifs and videos

You won't be able to enjoy the FPP gameplay with this mod

You WILL see floating stuff on your screen; That's the NPC's head, their eyes, teeth and hair

That's normal, and unfixable, don't freak out

Download ONE of the Main Mods PlayerReplacer forFemale or forMale and place it in your Mod Folder

Cyberpunk 2077\archive\pc\mod

Download one of the NPC to play as them and place it in your Mod Folder as well

Only use ONE appearance at a time

🟨 FPP / Scenes / Regular Use 🟨

Launch your game, load your save and look at your feet

If you see clipping on your V, congrats! The mod is installed correctly

Open AMM and check the Invisible V box

🟨 TPP 🟨

Open AMM and toggle the TPP Camera in the position of your choice

Click on Toggle V Head to disable V's head

If there is still pieces of V clipping in the NPC, uncheck and check Invisible V again

 🟨 Clipping Cyberarms 🟨

Your cyberarms might still be visible even with Invisible V checked in AMM

I recommend using the RipperDeck mod to get rid of your arms

Make V pop their fists out to update their cyberwares
