📋 About This Mod
Watch your step.
I was and am still completely obsessed with the gorgeous concept art for The Pleasure City of Neon, and after realizing that the 2022 Gameplay footage featured a totally different Neon, complete with taller buildings, sky-high catwalks and the original DOME roof, I knew what I had to do.
This mod for the interior and exterior of Neon amplifies the city into a true cyberpunk cityscape, bringing it as close as possible to its counterpart in the 2022 Gameplay footage, of course taking some artistic liberties with the areas not shown, though thoroughly inspired by the concept art. (and my nearly 500 hours in cyberpunk 2077...)
UPDATE: February 2, 2025.
Mod still working with Game Version 1. 14. 74
Hello all. Wow. What a journey It has been. The number of positive comments I've gotten on this... the amount of downloads... at one point this was the HOTTEST STARFIELD MOD for DAYS at one point! I have screenshots I'll post later. I love you guys! Thank you for taking Neon: Vertigo to new heights.
Quickly just wanted to put out a small update. I am still modding. Still learning creation kit. I upgraded my pc and now the Creation Kit no longer crashes when I try to generate NavMeshes. So, soon I will upload a version of this mod with working (hopefully) navmeshes. I say hopefully because I've tested out custom Nevmeshes 3 times and in 2 of 3 times there was this awful game breaking stutter introduced by my custom navmeshes, so who knows. Also I'm just way more adept at creation kit now so there may be some additional skyscrapers... hope you guys don't mind of Neon gets a little taller...
ALSO to talk about patches etc. A wonderful modder by the name of Rabbit has been hopping around releasing wonderful and essential mods, one of which, as I am aware, changes lighting in exterior Neon Cells. Similarly, the legend anamorfus of ELFX fame has released ELFX which edits interior cells of Neon. I am aware these conflict with this mod, and would love to release a patch to rectify this issue. As soon as I learn how to. Genuinely, I have no idea how to patch mods. That is why you haven't seen a patch. But learning never stops! So one day it shall be made a reality. Your patience is appreciated.
In the meantime, I have a ton of other mods in the works, mostly city/location overhauls and a few material edit mods, one of which is now available: Milkdrinker's New Atlantis Mesa Trees Reborn, check it out!

Inside, I've added back the original lightning-rod DOME roof so that you may stare into the high heavens and properly thank the roof for the power it provides. I've made nearly e
