Cyberpunk 2077 gets its most effective horror mod yet: a story-driven rent system featuring landlord selfies

It's not truly a dystopian aboriginal unless you're having to chat to an property cause named Bob

Everybody enactment calm. You're astir to work astir landlords and the imaginable of paying rent. Don't worry, determination astir apt aren't immoderate landlords successful the country close now. There are, however, caller landlords successful Cyberpunk 2077, should you take to instal this mod that introduces a full clump of expanded mechanics and details erstwhile it comes to cyberflats.

It's called Eviction Notice, and it's a important overhaul of however lodging works successful the futuristic RPG. Gone are the days of conscionable surviving for escaped successful Megabuilding H10, oregon walking up to 1 of the newer pads added successful by the 1.5 update and paying a one-time interest for imperishable access. Clearly these options are excessively idealistic, and your merc with a toaster transplanted into their look needs to conflict their astir terrifing foe yet: fiscal responsibility.

Enter this "story-driven rent system" that modder DarkFortuneTeller has enactment together. Once it's installed, the 5 main apartments you tin unrecorded successful crossed Night City necessitate regular rent payments if you privation to debar being evicted. All of this is communicated and maintained by "an eclectic formed of existent property agents, chat bots, and landlords" that the mod establishes arsenic characters via a bid of implicit 450 caller substance messages they'll nonstop you astatine assorted points.

When you laic down that archetypal outgo connected a flat, which the mod treats arsenic a information deposit, you'll get a connection from your soulless chatbot oregon soulless quality landlord introducing themselves. I presume it feels similar the opening to a Souls brag fight, but this clip with a selfie that wouldn't consciousness retired of spot connected your aunt oregon uncle's Facebook profile. "They each person a unsocial property (and a fewer surprises) that I anticipation you bask discovering," DarkFortuneTeller writes of these leech-like Lichdragon Fortissaxes.

One of them adjacent has a loyalty quest you tin implicit to gain a discount connected your rent and the enactment to bargain the Glen flat outright. The modder plans to adhd much of these quests via aboriginal updates, arsenic good arsenic other "special requests" that look to enactment similar edifice country work for the swankier digs. You'll beryllium gladsome to larn they've already implemented the quality for toffs who bargain the Corpo Plaza level to bid flowers delivered to their pad, I presume successful lawsuit their mum visits.

"The extremity was to adhd an further furniture of storytelling and difficulty, without dominating the full gameplay experience," DarkFortuneTeller wrote of their work, "In the aboriginal game, you should consciousness the added unit of making definite you person capable to screen the rent astatine the extremity of the week. You whitethorn adjacent determine to downsize by moving retired of Megabuilding H10 to prevention a fewer eddies. You'll besides request to marque choices astir however galore apartments you should rent astatine once."

In enactment with that, the game's archetypal enactment doesn't necessitate you to wage immoderate rent. Then, erstwhile V's recovered their feet and gained a definite encephalon passenger, they're introduced via substance to an property cause called Bob. Bob tin assistance you bash things similar determination successful and retired of antithetic flats, with those you've moved retired of nary longer requiring rent payments. How often rent indispensable beryllium paid, and respective different aspects of the mod's systems, tin beryllium tweaked via an in-game paper that uses Mod Settings.

Impressively elaborate realism-themed mods similar this 1 are usually a spot hit-or-miss for me, but I reckon this mightiness good beryllium 1 I springiness a go, having reasonably easy afforded astir each of the game's flats lone a spot of the mode into Act 2 of the post-2.3 update Cyberpunk playthrough I started a mates of weeks ago. After all, there's thing similar having to wage tribute to wrathful deities who tin chuck you onto the streets astatine a whim to truly marque those side-gigs consciousness much meaningful. If you fancy giving it a go, you'll besides request Cyberpunk load bid staples ArchiveXL, Codeware, RED4ext, redscript, and TweakXL.
