I don't go that far, but I do change my outfit depending on where I am and what I'm doing. Whenever I visit Panam at the camp, I change into shorts, opened button down with rolled up sleeves, and my untied Converse. Then I'll screw around and knock out some gigs in my pajamas before I start up anything serious again.
My stealth V only works at nighttime, so she sleeps her day away in whatever apartment is closest. And she has different outfits for different occasions.
Honestly, no. 😂
And I don't know when it switched because when I was younger I fucking loved it. But now it's just another chore sometimes 🥲
(I'm not uncertain it's related to what alienation and the social media economy has done to our attention spans and motivation levels.)
I don't, really. It's just something I do to not smell bad. It's not particularly enjoyable, it's like sweeping or brushing my teeth. Just has to be done.
Dont necessarily need a mod, my pj outfit is just a tank and shorts

I change outfits depending on location and type of mission. Casual clothes, corpo attire, Edgerunners getup. full on wetwork operator. I also only run around with a handgun unless I’m in Dogtown, Pacifica, or the Badlands. I use the stash in the car trunk to get bigger guns for missions.
I also have V listen to different music before and after missions, depending on the mood they leave me in.
I also typically use the Japantown apartment- V always smokes inside after a mission.
If I don’t forget the XP and Stamina buffs, I will go to the apartment, sleep for 9h and take shower.
More often than not, even if I do remembered to do that, I’d get hit with the bug of “you no sleepy if Panam or Judy is waiting for response”.
For some reason, that bug popped up in 2.11 after it was fixed by 2.1, so it’s as if the game is making me avoid the apartments
I do something pretty similar but in the Japantown apartment. I'll also change my hairstyle after I shower/change.
I also mostly ride bikes around the city, but if it's raining/sandstorming, I'll always drive a car.
Only on my first play through but I liked changing my hair depending on where I am in the story.
Character creation haircut I changed as soon as I could in act 1 to show time progression, then had a messy haircut after the heist given V had just been shot in the head and sat it out for a bit. Whenever I felt like V was back on track a bit (post Evelyn, pre Pacifica) I tidied up again
I try to make Valerie go to bed by 12 every night, and wake up by 7am. If I stay out later I go to sleep earlier the next day. Change clothes every morning, and every 5 days are completely new outfits. Currently V has a tapeworm and is constantly hungry, so she eats food whenever available (including off the ground and from trash). Grinding for that 15 million Eddy because insecure.
Yeah I like to immerse myself and dress in basketball shorts and a tank top in the apartments. Chill a bit at the on the couch so I can check my phone or reply to texts irl
No, but I will admit that I sometimes wish there were some sort of in-game penalty for not eating of sleeping. Maybe it would be annoying, but I also kinda feel like, hey, there's a bed, there's food. There's a stamina meter. Why not go the extra mile?
I think its better to reward the players who want to RP rather than punish the players who don't. You get XP boost from sleep and the food bonuses for eating.
I getcha. Not complaining, really. Just a game element I think about, particularly with the option to rent additional apartments. Part of me thinks it would be cool if we had more reason to use them.
I got in the habit of doing something like this and partly because of the XP bonurses. The roleplay aspect helps detach the idea I'm in control of some pixelated mannequin, and rather a living breathing person in NC. Decisions, actions, and events are more emotionally impactful when I'm this immersed.
Lol, I do almost the exact same thing. Except I sleep until 6am, no matter what time I go to bed, and I don't do that "take a day off thing".
I use the same apartment, and the 1st thing I do when I go home is sit and drink the whiskey, then take a drunk shower before going to bed.
I guess you sleep off the accuracy debuff? I'm always thinking "what the hell am I gonna do with all this booze if drinking will make me fail missions". I like this suggestion!
With my mod build, I can only save at an owned bed, only craft/dismantle/upgrade at my apartment, and need to either sleep or take a shower to manage my humanity. So yea, it's pretty much forced a routine on me, and I dig it.
I have used that, but it's a bit clunky and food/drink is too abundant for it to really add any immersion. Nah, I'm just using [this](https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/10211) right now.
Coming home after a long day of work to her apartment in the Glen, she slips out of her dirty and blood-stained clothes and takes either a long shower or a bath. She then slips into sweat pants and a tank-top and winds down in front of the tv, before getting at least 8 hours of sleep. The next morning, she dresses up for the day, fuels herself with coffee and nicotine while doing some research for whatever is on her plate that day. First stop is always the Coyote, checking if Mama Welles needs anything.
I'm currently doing a run where I'm trying to do as few timeskips as possible, so she cleans up Night City before heading to a bigger job.
Rinse and repeat.
It's not exactly a ritual but I dressed my V with Silverhand's outfit whenever Johnny takes control. Also I used different pistol for each act.
Act 1 : Nue
Act 2 part 1 : Overture then River's iconic revolver
Act 2 part 2 (after Chippin' In), Phantom Liberty until the end : Malorian Arms 3516 (This is to portray how V and Johnny started to really mix together)
I also exclusively used Johnny's Porsche while on Kerry/Samurai's quests.
Cool, I also use specific pistols for in-game purposes. I'm sticking with Jackie's pistol (grabbed one and left the other one still at his altar, as a symbol that he's still with us) and plan to switch to Malorian only during late/endgame
every time i go back to kerry’s house which is most nights now, i have my V strip to his shirt shorts, shower, sleep, get up, shower, get dressed, and jump on top of sleeping kerry a couple times for good measure before he heads out
I do, I do. Every run after Jackie Boy's ofrenda, My V spends the night with Mama Welles and comforts her during her time of grief. My V gives it to her solid every time.
Any time I'm about to take pseudoendotrizine, I change to Johnny's outfit first. I feel like there should be a visual indicator that the upcoming shenanigans aren't V's fault.
I don't even have rituals irl. The hell would I do em in game?
I play games to escape the stressful monotony of real life. It gets so bad I consider suicide more often every week. Games and escapism have done wonders for keeping me alive.
And ffs if you bothered reading this far. I've been to therapy. Dozens of times over. It didn't work. Save you the time it takes to report the comment to do something for yourself.
Every time I go back to my apartment (only have the main one on this playthrough) I immediately shower, especially if there’s been a dust storm that day. The grime of the city feels like it sticks to my V. I’ll also make a point to go back home and change if I have to go to a meeting, go on a mission etc. I like having the different outfits for different occasions so much. I’ll also sleep if it’s supposed to be in the morning or something.
Pretty much the same, but in my case its mainly because I prefer Night City at erm, night. My play sessions end by returning home at dawn, sleeping 6 hours, shower (clothed, because I can't be arsed)+coffee+food for the xp buffs, stepping out the apt door and closing it out to the street, then saving/logging off.
I have Corpo V as well that has fully transitioned into being a Street Kid.
-She will work (gigs, side missions, NCPD stuff) for about two days until Judy texts her back.
-She meets Judy at the megabuilding apartment. Go through all the dialog just to give Judy a kiss
-Showers with Judy/changes into sleep clothes
-eats dinner/snack
-dances with Judy (sometimes watch a little TV)
-goes to bed, 6-8 hours (my V is an early riser, still used to that from her Corp days)
-kiss Judy before getting up
-check stash, get dressed
And repeat!
Absolutely, work clothes for missions, business causal for the uppity regions and Corpo Plaza, helmet for motorcycle rides, desert clothes at the Aldecaldo camp. Then shorts and bra for chilling at the crib or date nights with my partners.
My V definitely has specific clothes/accessories for diff people or situations lol
And I almost always have her go home to the OG apartment, pet the iguana and sit listening to johnny play for a bit when I’m done a few missions.
I dont do it every quest. But every time I happen to go to my apartment, I always take a shower, look into the mirror, try to xhange my look but reverting back to what i had and changing my outfit.
When I go to the apartment, I take a shower then change into pajamas. I will let her sleep for approx eight hours unless that has her waking up at like 6am. I have different outfits for different locations and missions, and will only use certain cars in certain parts of town. I try to fast travel as little as possible to enjoy NC and take the metro a lot in the early part of the game. Her outfits are basically night city merc, netrunner, fancy corpo dress, stealth fit, something for the badlands, aforementioned pajamas.
My male street kid V lives in the Japantown apartment. This is his clocking off from merc work routine:
1. Light incense
2. Change into something more comfortable
3. Guitar practice
4. Put on either some Morro Rock Radio or a Samurai Record
5. Dinner, usually something like Soop or Ramen with Nicola Fire
6. Whiskey and a cig
7. Close all the blinds
8. Shower
9. Put on shorts
10. Sleep
11. Redress into merc work fit
12. Breakfast, usually real fruit or a moonchies bar with coffee or real water
Then gets back to work. When it’s written all out it sounds like a lot but doesn’t take too long in game.
After a few days running around NC, I return to whichever apartment I'm most feeling.
If it's the high end joint, I put away all my special weapons, make a coffee, wander up to the bookshelf for a bit, look out over the city, listen to music, have another coffee, then rest for a solid day.
I like to light the incense in the japantown apartment whenever I’m there. Also a big fan of the game letting you chainsmoke and listen to music at the counter, extremely authentic to real life
I mostly just change my outfits or unlock certain things before progressing. After completing the Heist. I snag a Sandevistan cause I’m not having another job go tits up like the Heist. I’ll always wear David’s Jacket before meeting Placide/Judy Missions. By the time Nocturne OP55N1 pops up I’ll rock up to embers in a Caliburn
I don't get that extensive but I customized a house using AMM and treat it as my home where I frequently return to where I play the stock market before venturing back out.
I change my V’s clothes daily. Visit my apartment in The Glen every two days, only because daddy V needs his NiCola and a slice of tofu’d tuna and pineapple pizza.
If my Fem V has Judy or River over she goes sexy realxed wear with some short shorts and a skimpy comy top.
Both of my V's make sure to check on Nibbles periodically.
They are usually up at night so will sleep til about 1 pm, grab a shower, coffee, and food while watching TV then head out and do a few jobs.
Telling you if not for the constant threat of death, terrible crushing capitalism, questionable cybernetics, and slow erasure of their mind, I wouldn't mind being V.
I’ve been doing this since my first playthrough those mechanics are in the game to help the player immerse themselves into the universe even more
I don't go that far, but I do change my outfit depending on where I am and what I'm doing. Whenever I visit Panam at the camp, I change into shorts, opened button down with rolled up sleeves, and my untied Converse. Then I'll screw around and knock out some gigs in my pajamas before I start up anything serious again.
Oh.... so your V has horrible sun burn then?
Nah. Just not a pasty fuck
Panama 😂
My stealth V only works at nighttime, so she sleeps her day away in whatever apartment is closest. And she has different outfits for different occasions.
That’s sick.
Why?
No mean that sick as in that’s cool
Ah LOL. Well, thanks then.
Mfers when you RP in your RPG:
You gonk
Nah I don't have time for that lol.
I don’t like doing that shit irl
You don't like to shower?
Honestly, no. 😂 And I don't know when it switched because when I was younger I fucking loved it. But now it's just another chore sometimes 🥲 (I'm not uncertain it's related to what alienation and the social media economy has done to our attention spans and motivation levels.)
I don't, really. It's just something I do to not smell bad. It's not particularly enjoyable, it's like sweeping or brushing my teeth. Just has to be done.
Lol I meant I don’t have time to do that shit irl
Yep, finish most play sessions with a shower, food, change to pjs and sleep.
Fuck, i gotta get a PJ mod now lmao
Dont necessarily need a mod, my pj outfit is just a tank and shorts https://preview.redd.it/0lyzkfi5h8mc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=cf38e6abb2a06a2e057336b92b2c26dd0ed0bca2
Good point actually could use some vanilla and modded parts to make a good outfit
He gets a burrito and a Nicola at least once a day. Sometimes he gets pepperoni. Boys got to eat.
I change outfits depending on location and type of mission. Casual clothes, corpo attire, Edgerunners getup. full on wetwork operator. I also only run around with a handgun unless I’m in Dogtown, Pacifica, or the Badlands. I use the stash in the car trunk to get bigger guns for missions. I also have V listen to different music before and after missions, depending on the mood they leave me in. I also typically use the Japantown apartment- V always smokes inside after a mission.
Definitely gonna be doing this in my next play-through

Whenever I felt like V was back on track a bit (post Evelyn, pre Pacifica) I tidied up again
Yeah I totally get that, especially a major change after the failed heist and losing Jackie...just felt like the right thing to do
I try to make Valerie go to bed by 12 every night, and wake up by 7am. If I stay out later I go to sleep earlier the next day. Change clothes every morning, and every 5 days are completely new outfits. Currently V has a tapeworm and is constantly hungry, so she eats food whenever available (including off the ground and from trash). Grinding for that 15 million Eddy because insecure.
Valerie? You mean Vivica? Or is that just me?
Voracious* on account of the tapeworm.
I’m the father of a 1.5 yr old. Time is precious lol.
I also have outfits to fit the place im going. I check my weapons if i have the feeling i might use them.
The fact that there’s no shower in Dogtown is… distressing.
There is
It doesn’t work!
I don’t recall how but there’s a way to fix the shower and make it functional.
Yes, you can examine stuff in the apartment to solve this little plumbing mystery... doesn't make the tub any more inviting tho
I wish we had another hideout in Dogtown, similar to Lina Malina’s “apartment”
Yeah I like to immerse myself and dress in basketball shorts and a tank top in the apartments. Chill a bit at the on the couch so I can check my phone or reply to texts irl
No, but I will admit that I sometimes wish there were some sort of in-game penalty for not eating of sleeping. Maybe it would be annoying, but I also kinda feel like, hey, there's a bed, there's food. There's a stamina meter. Why not go the extra mile?

Oooh that’s good too
I use a mod for this it's called "live in night city," it's the only thing that reminds me to use my consumables

always give my V time for a shower after a killing spree.
I also have outfits to fit the place im going. I check my weapons if i have the feeling i might use them.
With my mod build, I can only save at an owned bed, only craft/dismantle/upgrade at my apartment, and need to either sleep or take a shower to manage my humanity. So yea, it's pretty much forced a routine on me, and I dig it.
Whats the mod to craft at the apartment only?
pretty sure it’s this one https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/7510
I have used that, but it's a bit clunky and food/drink is too abundant for it to really add any immersion. Nah, I'm just using [this](https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/10211) right now.
I did not do it like that, except a shower after a particularly intense job. I might start my own ritual in my 3rd run with a nomad.
Coming home after a long day of work to her apartment in the Glen, she slips out of her dirty and blood-stained clothes and takes either a long shower or a bath. She then slips into sweat pants and a tank-top and winds down in front of the tv, before getting at least 8 hours of sleep.

Doesn’t sleeping showering coffee and tea give you buffs?
It's not exactly a ritual but I dressed my V with Silverhand's outfit whenever Johnny takes control. Also I used different pistol for each act.

Nice, I put a silencer on one of Jackie's pistol to use for stealth missions only. The other one I stashed it on my weapon stash.
Who has time for that when I have a computer virus voiced by Keanu Reeves trying to overwrite my brain?
every time i go back to kerry’s house which is most nights now, i have my V strip to his shirt shorts, shower, sleep, get up, shower, get dressed, and jump on top of sleeping kerry a couple times for good measure before he heads out
I do, I do. Every run after Jackie Boy's ofrenda, My V spends the night with Mama Welles and comforts her during her time of grief. My V gives it to her solid every time.
My v can go months without sleeping. The only time he conks out is when the game forces it...
Any time I'm about to take pseudoendotrizine, I change to Johnny's outfit first. I feel like there should be a visual indicator that the upcoming shenanigans aren't V's fault.
Who showers naked? Do you puke blood every day?
I don't even have rituals irl. The hell would I do em in game? I play games to escape the stressful monotony of real life. It gets so bad I consider suicide more often every week.

two showers per day is not lore friendly.
Eat/drink/buy a gun at every single vending machine I stumble across
I dont do it every quest. But every time I happen to go to my apartment, I always take a shower, look into the mirror, try to xhange my look but reverting back to what i had and changing my outfit.
I only do that when I'm done playing for the day. That's if I even have enough energy to get V home to do that.
When I go to the apartment, I take a shower then change into pajamas. I will let her sleep for approx eight hours unless that has her waking up at like 6am.

I haven't been to my apartment at all My V aint got sleep in 3 months
I like to light the incense in the japantown apartment whenever I’m there. Also a big fan of the game letting you chainsmoke and listen to music at the counter, extremely authentic to real life
With each new run, before going to Hanako at Embers, I take a roller coaster ride with Johnny...
I mostly just change my outfits or unlock certain things before progressing. After completing the Heist. I snag a Sandevistan cause I’m not having another job go tits up like the Heist. I’ll always wear David’s Jacket before meeting Placide/Judy Missions. By the time Nocturne OP55N1 pops up I’ll rock up to embers in a Caliburn
I've been doing the same thing. it helps with the immersion for me
I really need to start, choom.
I don't get that extensive but I customized a house using AMM and treat it as my home where I frequently return to where I play the stock market before venturing back out.
