Night City doesn't respect you. It doesn't see you as anybody.
Survival is not a right, it's a privilege. Earn your place.
Important
PunkCity is built for Cyberpunk 2077 2.31.
Phantom Liberty DLC is Mandatory
This list is currently in active development. Expect additions and changes between versions.
Warning
Always launch the game through Mod Organizer 2. Launching through Steam directly will bypass the mod setup and break the list.
About the List
PunkCity is a Wabbajack modlist for Cyberpunk 2077 built around one idea:
the city owes you nothing.
Most playthroughs let you become a legend overnight. PunkCity pushes back. Your body has needs.
Your reputation has weight. The story won't drag you along, it waits for you to earn the right to be
part of it. The city is indifferent, the streets are dangerous, and every cold decision you make will follow you.
This is no power fantasy. You'll suffer, and you'll be content.
What You're Getting Into
Survival mechanics that make your body a resource you have to manage
A paced experience that rewards immersion over rushing
True reputation system where senseless violence has real costs

Character Creation
The list gives strong emphasis to Character Creation freedom. It utilizes EBBRB as the
body mod for Female V and Atlas for Male V.
Valerie has at least 5–20× more accessories, hairs, and clothes than Vincent. Unfortunately modders
favor feminine body mods — nothing I can do about it.
This is my first modlist. I am primarily a Skyrim modder (5 years), however I became so fixated
with Cyberpunk 2077 that I released a list for it before my favourite fantasy game.
I did my best but the list is far from perfect. If you find bugs or bad clipping, please let me know.
I plan to use user experiences as the basis for whether something is performing well or poorly —
the gameplay is refined, but the cosmetics may not be. Please bear with me.

Pre-Installation
Before You Begin
The steps below assume you're using the Steam version of the game. Complete every step before moving on to Installation.
Setup Steps
Perform a clean install of Cyberpunk 2077. Install it outside of Program Files.
Confirm that Steam shows both Cyberpunk 2077: REDmod and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty as installed before continuing to the Installation page.
Installation
Installing PunkCity
Choose the method that applies to you. Both paths end at the same place — pick whichever is available.
Availability
The gallery listing is now officially live, remember to tick Non-featured in the Wabbajack browse modlist section.
Download Wabbajack and place it somewhere outside your Cyberpunk folder and outside Program Files.
Example: D:\Wabbajack
Launch Wabbajack. On the main screen, click Browse Modlists.
Note
Please make sure to tick Non-featured otherwise the list may not show up.
Search for PunkCity in the gallery and click the download arrow to begin.
Set your install paths:
Installation: D:\Modlists\PunkCity
Downloads: D:\Modlists\downloads
Path Rules
Both paths must be on the same drive as your Cyberpunk install, and not inside the game directory or Program Files.
Click Install and let Wabbajack handle the rest. This will take a while depending on your connection speed.
Once complete, open your install folder and launch ModOrganizer.exe.
Confirm the active profile is set to PunkCity, then click Run.
When to use this?
Use this method if the Wabbajack gallery listing isn't live yet, or if you prefer to download the .wabbajack file manually from the Nexus page.
Download Wabbajack and place it somewhere outside your Cyberpunk folder and outside Program Files.
Example: D:\Wabbajack
Go to the PunkCity Nexus Mods page and download the main file, it contains .wabbajack to install file manually. Save it anywhere convenient.
Launch Wabbajack. Navigate to Browse Modlists, on the top right click Install from Disk.
In the file picker, navigate to and select the PunkCity.wabbajack file you just downloaded.
Set your install paths:
Installation: D:\Modlists\PunkCity
Downloads: D:\Modlists\downloads
Path Rules
Both paths must be on the same drive as your Cyberpunk install, and not inside the game directory or Program Files.
Click Install and let Wabbajack handle the rest.
Once complete, open your install folder and launch ModOrganizer.exe.
Confirm the active profile is set to PunkCity, then click Run.
Post-Installation
Final Setup
Antivirus
Antivirus Warning
Third-party antivirus software (BitDefender, Norton, Webroot, etc.) can interfere with MO2's Virtual File System. If you're experiencing issues, you may need to disable or remove it.
Windows Defender with sensible browsing habits is sufficient.
If you're using Windows Defender, add your PunkCity install folder as an exclusion:
How to Add a Windows Defender Exclusion
Open Windows Security
Go to Virus & threat protection
Click Manage settings
Scroll to Exclusions → Add or remove exclusions
Add your PunkCity installation folder
Optionally also exclude PunkCity.exe and Cyberpunk2077.exe
Check the Overwrite box before installing so updated files replace old ones properly.
Custom Mods
If you've added your own mods, tag them in MO2 to protect them during updates:

Known Issues
Known Issues
This section contains the issues that I am aware of and will try to fix.
However there are cases that its an engine issue and I cannot do anything about it.
Random Crashes!!!!
Please try to clear the cache by going into Overwrite and deleting the contents of r6/cache then, do the same for PunkCity Settings
Can't shoot through modded car's windows but shooting at the windshield works
Some modded vehicles are basically a remodeled Caliburn. The Rayfield Caliburn's windows are impenetrable but are shootable at the windshield, hence the behavior.
Bald V / Glitchy shadows
This is a problem with both CDPR's lazy animation and Mod Authors not pulling a shadow mesh in their hair mods. If you encounter this with Cyberware from character creation, it might be bad mesh, let me know if you encounter it anywhere else.
Enemy HP Bar gets bigger when they're healing
This is because of Combat Evolved, I have reported the issue to the author
