📋 About This Mod
This is a simple but neat script I made as my first mod for Cyberpunk 2077.
If you're using a compatible clothing mod that adds visibly holstered weapons as individual items, this mod will automatically unequip the holstered weapon clothing item when you use the weapon and re-equip it when you holster or switch to another weapon, giving the illusion of the holster actually being interactive. No more using a weapon while also seeing it holstered at the same time!
Note that this mod is just code which makes the magic possible. It doesn't come with any actual holster items.
It's designed to be used with clothing mods that add holsters, harnesses and backpacks with visibly holstered or stowed weapons:
-
[]Modular Military Pistol Holsters by ScorpionTank
[
]Modular Military Backpack by ScorpionTank[]Equippable Katana and Back Katana Sets by SHINOBI10
[]Trauma, Netwatch and NCPD V by Ashfold
[]FIVE-O Apparel by Ashfold
[]Valentino Harness and Holsters by raem
-
[]Interactive Accessories - Interact with clothes mods that have toggle items - flip visors, NVGs, etc. up and down with a key press.
[
]Unarmed Carry - Carry bodies without being forced into holding a weapon and carry bodies in two hands like The Rescue mission[]Toggle Visual Cyberware - Toggle some visual cyberware without archive mods (Black Palm Grip, Neuroport & Shard Slots, Arm Injection Marks)
[]Arasaka HUD - Use the special Arasaka HUD from the Corpo lifepath prologue.
Update 1. 2
The newest version of Visual Holsters (1. 2) adds new functionality designed to support the
Modular Military Backpack by ScorpionTankThe new feature means that the mod can equip a new clothes item (from the same EquipmentEx slot) to replace the existing one. For example, automatically switching between a blade holster item that's visibly empty and one that has a weapon stowed.
This is more of a technical change to give other mod authors who want to use VisualHolster's features with their mods greater flexibilty and reduce the number of EquipmentEx slots they'd need to use in certain cases.
Update 1. 1
Visual Holsters (1. 1) completely changes how the mod works. It has been remade from scratch so that authors of other mods can now add Tags to their mods which will then make the Visual Holsters feature work with their mod automatically.
This mod was originally designed for the Modular Military Pistol Holsters by ScorpionTank, which now uses Visual Holster Tags.

For immersive players who hate seeing weapons clip through holsters or disappear entirely. If you use weapon mods with visible holsters, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't care about visual weapon stowage or use minimal mods.
