🎮 **Add deep addiction mechanism to Cyberpunk 2077**

This mod introduces a real addiction system to the game, which will track V's use of various consumables: the addiction level will slowly increase when using it, and gradually decrease when taking a break. When V is addicted to a certain substance, withdrawal symptoms will occur if he stops using it for a long time.

🧬 Core Concept

Just like real life, V will never fully know how dependent he is on a certain consumable... until it's too late.

There will be some hints in the game, so please listen carefully to these signals, friends...

⚠️ A complete description of the game mechanics can be found in the official documentation, but I have to warn you that this will **ruin all the surprises** that come with the mod. Players who want to immerse themselves in the experience and discover its subtleties are best advised not to read.

💊 Healing Items

Includes healing items such as MaxDOC, BounceBack and Health Booster.

When V is severely addicted, the effectiveness of all healing items will be reduced.

*Example: A normal MAXdoc usually restores 40% health, but may only restore 30% when V is addicted to it. *

⚡ Enhancer

Includes boosters such as Stamina Booster, Carry Capacity Booster and RAM Jolt.

When V is experiencing withdrawal symptoms, all boosters will have the opposite debuff.

*Example: RAM jolt usually increases the max RAM when in use, but when V is out of use for a while, the max RAM drops until it is used again. *

🖤 BlackLace

Withdrawal from BlackLace has serious consequences: expect multiple debuffs!

Since BlackLace is relatively scarce in the base game, you'll have more chances of finding it during your adventure.

🧠 Nerve blockers

When V is severely addicted, the duration of the neuroleptics' effects is shortened.

In addition, nerve blockers can cause adverse reactions when equipped with certain types of prostheses.

🍷 Alcohol

Alcohol withdrawal may trigger the shivering effect, affecting the ability to aim with ranged weapons.

🚬 Cigars and Cigarettes

Frequent tobacco use affects V's stamina.

🔧 Prosthetic system

Some prosthetics provide more information about the current state of addiction, others significantly reduce the chance of becoming addicted!

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
