I tried to mod Cyberpunk 2077 and it was not a smooth experience. I first tried using Vortex in Bottles but it wouldn't run. I then tried to use ProtonUp-QT but couldn't figure out exactly what to do. I discovered that there's a new NNM AppImage that's early in development that works with Cyberpunk.
I'll have to try again in the future and figure out how ProtonUp-QT, ProtonTricks, Steam Tinker Launcher, etc.
Vortex absolutely works in Bottles, I use it myself to install and update the Welcome to Night City collection.
try the following guide and adapt it to Bottles. if you’re using flatpaks, you’re likely facing the permissions issues that are mentioned in the guide.
I finished my first playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077. I absolutely love the setting for the game and hopefully they'll make a sequel. Cyberpunk is going to join the very small selection of games I immediately replay. I just need to figure out how to do mods on Bazzite first.
V has as much money as you have at the end of the game, they’ve got properties and cars, whatever cash… But your connections are just whatever fixers are still alive when you get back. But now that you’re kinda useless to them now they won’t be very eager to help you.
I generally agree with @Dharkstare that first playthroughs should be vanilla, but I have very little time to game, and Cyberpunk is huge. I’m not trying to accomplish anything, I just want to fuck around. So I’m currently playing my first playthrough of Cyberpunk with mods, and it’s fantastic for goofing off.
With all that said, there are 2 mods I would suggest for Cyberpunk, even for an otherwise vanilla playthrough.
The first is No Intro Videos, which gets rid of the unskippable logos and health warnings that are displayed every time the game loads. It’s one of my most appreciated QoL mods.
The other is Simple Flashlight. Perhaps a little controversial for a vanilla playthrough, but I stand by it. I actually don’t use the flashlight very much, but every so often I end up somewhere that so dark, I can’t find my way out of the room/building/wherever. It’s during those infrequent times I’m grateful for a little extra light.
Just finished the Run This Town quest in Cyberpunk 2077 and the VAs for Aguilar nailed it. They both have that perfect mix of smooth and threatening. I'm sad that the character is only available for that one mission. Really wish they were around more or were an option to voice V.
