The Cyberpunk 2077 modding scene continues to enhance CD Projekt RED’s game across multiple areas. Previously, we covered mods that add proper third-person perspectives, improve combat, introduce permanent companions, increase immersion, and enhance path tracing. Now, modder cradilyex has uploaded a new mod called **Night City Traffic Overhaul** to the Nexus Mods website, bringing fresh life to the city’s streets.
### What is Night City Traffic Overhaul?
The goal of this mod is to add vehicles that exist in the base game but are missing from traffic, with variations depending on the specific Night City district. For example:
– Gang vehicles patrol their turf.
– NCPD vehicles cruise wealthy areas.
– Taxis and buses operate throughout the city.
– Delamain cabs and big trucks frequent industrial zones.
– Militech and Wraith vehicles appear around the Badlands region.
– Mox gang vehicles roam Kabuki.
This level of detail adds greater realism and diversity to the traffic, enriching the overall atmosphere of Night City.
### Customization Options
What makes Night City Traffic Overhaul especially interesting is the player-friendly customization menu. You can tweak vehicle presence in each district to match your vision. For instance, you might increase gang vehicle activity in one district while lowering police presence there but doing the opposite in another.
Additionally, the mod allows players to introduce modded vehicles into regular Cyberpunk 2077 traffic by adding their entity names (such as `”Vehicle.oranje3_militech_legatus”` for the Militech Legatus SPD-10) into the lists found in the `”r6/scripts/NightCityTrafficOverhaul/NCTOmoddedVehicles.reds”` file.
### Performance Considerations
According to the modder, swapping vehicles itself does not impact performance. However, depending on your chosen traffic density and hardware setup, performance may decrease during certain instances. Some modded vehicles could also affect game performance to varying degrees.
### Compatibility with Other Mods
Night City Traffic Overhaul is compatible with popular mods like **Taxi Work in Night City**, which adds missions where players transport passengers as a cab driver. It also works alongside **Night City Alive**, a mod that adds motorbikes to traffic, allows gang members to drive through the city, and makes civilians and NCPD more aware and reactive to their surroundings.
### The Future of Cyberpunk 2077 Modding
It’s truly impressive what modders continue to achieve with Cyberpunk 2077 despite the lack of official full modding tools. For reference, The Witcher 3 received its official modding tool, REDkit, in May 2024. Hopefully, CD Projekt RED will release a similar tool for Cyberpunk 2077, empowering the community even further.
Meanwhile, fans can enjoy these inventive mods as they await the sequel, which might feature multiplayer modes and the return of Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand.
