About this mod Machine translation

This module adds a 3-state police light system (off/police lights/siren) to police cars (including motorcycles), and prevents the police lights/siren from turning off when players or police NPCs get out of the vehicle. You can also use the siren as a trumpet. A static police light mode is also included for taking better screenshots.

Enhanced Police Lights System

🚨 **Bring a more realistic lighting experience to the police cars in Night City! **

✨ Core Functions

  • **Three-state police light system**: Free switching between off/warning light/siren modes
  • **Smart Hold Function**: Police lights and sirens will not be automatically turned off when players or police NPCs get out of the car
  • **Siren Horn Function**: The siren can be used as a horn to trigger environmental reactions
  • **Static Police Light Mode**: Designed for screenshot lovers, red and blue police lights can be enabled at the same time

🎮 Operation Guide

Use the game headlight binding keys (default: keyboard V key, handle left key) to perform multi-press operations:

  • **Press once**: Cycle through the status of the police light
  • **Press 2 times**: Cycle through the siren status
  • **Press 3 times**: Use the siren as a horn

This new control scheme allows you to directly select any state without having to cycle through all modes!

🔧Fixed game bugs

This mod fixes multiple issues in game v2.1:

  • When the police NPC gets out of the car to arrest V, always keep the police lights on and turn off the sirens.
  • The side banner light turns red when the police NPC gets out of the car
  • The color of the side banner lights remains unchanged when V gets off the car and will not cycle for no reason.
  • When the wanted level drops to zero, the police car lights/siren will remain in their current state and will not be turned off by the game.

⚙️ Custom settings

Through the in-game Mod settings interface, you can adjust the module behavior according to your personal preferences:

  • Open the menu and click "Mods"
  • Find the module name
  • Modify the settings as needed (the settings will be retained after the game is restarted)

📋 Compatibility requirements

  • **Game version**: v2.1/v2.11/v2.12/v2.13
  • **Shadows of the Past DLC**: fully compatible

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.
