What I'm working on now
🕑 Added 2023-08-17 06:01:23 +0000 UTCI've just finished building a mod for Cyberpunk 2077 that adds "exotics" to the game. Exotics are an idea from the original Cyberpunk TTRPGs- humans who have given themselves animal-like features through genetic engineering, surgery and custom cyberware as a kind of extreme counterculture fashion statement. In the timeline of the original RPGs, exotic body-sculpting was only available for a few wealthy eccentrics; however, CP2077 takes place five decades later, when- according to the mod's lore- a revolution in cheap transgenic "biosculpting" has made the option available to everyone.
The mod is available to download now at https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/9797. It adds anthro jaguars, snow leopards, black leopards, cougars, tigers, foxes, wolves, and fennecs to the game, both as NPCs in the open world and as playable options for V. It turns River into a wolf, Panam into a cougar, and Judy into a fennec- which should all be optional in the final release. It also adds a lot of exotics-themed posters, signs, and animated billboards to the world, and overhauls the Animals gang with exotic characters, including an anthro rhino model.
I'm currently running a poll of patrons to determine which game I'll mod next, which will close an 11/8/23.

Thanks. I'm not planning on changing more NPCs currently, but I may revisit the mod later for things like that after the public release- I'll probably include that as an option on a Patron poll somewhere down the line.

I know this isn't lore accurate but will there be an option for every NPC to be an exotic if not is there plans to turn more story NPCs into exotics like jackie welles for example also I think you are doing amazing work on this mod
Trixster Magee
yes, i am aware. But a error/glitch/bug is not always replicated by everyone, therefore i just gave a bug report, in case it can help the creator.
Arius Priheart
They are working on it

Did not know where to post this, but here is a update from me, (sorry if i only post already know issues): After installing the Phantom Liberty DLC. it seems that 2 things have happened: 1. there seem to be a glitch with the underwear/groin area, that makes massive glitches. 2. some exotics are glitched out in a way that they dont have a muzzle or fur, but their skin seem stretched and some of the skin is missing. But before DLC the Mod worked amazingly. (Judy is among one of the glitched individuals.) otherwise all i can say is i love the almost seamless integration of this mod into the game. so much so i am even going to wait for the update to the mod before starting the DLC.

thanks i will keep an eye on the mod and thank you for making such an awesome mod i love it
Arius Priheart
Good luck on getting the mod fixed. Eagerly looking forward to doing 2.0 and PL as an exotic.
CobaltOwl
I'm not planning on adding any other species right now, although I could change my mind about that later on.
Shining Artemis Moon
just making a suggestion here but you could also add a lion and lioness there also classed as exotics
Natsil
It could be very cool to be able to choose to be an exotic or not. That way I could make a V male with Panam cougar ^^

Right now, I'm just focusing on getting the mod working with the 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty. Once that's complete, I may look into options for compatibility with other body mods, although I can promise anything there.
CobaltOwl
I agree- anthros would fit the game pretty well. The modding tools apparently aren't releasing until next year, but I'll see if it's possible to start on a mod like that now, and add it to the poll for the next anthro mod if it is.
Shay
Will you make this mod compatible with other 3rd party body mods?
Natsil
Add Anthro character on Conan exile will be really cool.

I'm sure you don't need us to tell you but this mod is a big reason for a large majority of players coming back to Cyberpunk 2077. It's creators should be paying you for this (obviously canon) mod that should have been native to the game in the first place. For whatever reason they refused to include furries. *shrug*.
Valzuri
I'm surprized someone hasn't converted one of the furry fallout 4 mods or a khajiit model for the PC already. Kzinti would be neat but the size would be more of a problem then the skeleton and rigging. And there would need to be a 'eat humans' addin as well because a t'kzintar should be able to feast on the tui after a glorious victory. <.<
MetroPex
Would be awesome seeing the Kzinti in Starfield. Adding furries to Bethesda games is relatively easy. Fallout 4 has a bunch of well lip synced models o the nexus.
CobaltOwl
Thanks! I'm not currently planning to add any new species- I may change my mind about that when working on the Phantom Liberty update, though for now, the plan is just to try and wrap everything up and get a start on the next anthro mod (which I'm hoping to finish a bit more quickly than this one). That said, I also like hyenas, so there's a good chance they'll make an appearance in future mods.
Carum Sarene
My partner wants to know if you would ever consider adding hyenas into the mix? this mod is absolutely gorgeous.
Woobem
awesome, thanks! me too im pretty hype for it hehe
CobaltOwl
Yeah, I'm definitely planning to pick up Phantom Liberty and update the mod once it's out.
Woobem
will you update this if needed after phantom liberty drops?
Doctor Weasel
Loved everything I've seen and experienced of the mod. Here's hoping it doesn't break with Phantom Liberty!

This project of yours is why I'm actually going to finally play this game - thank you for all your work on this! :3
