New Game Plus - Wake Up Faster

The most CDPR-like mod New Game+

Were you unhappy with the state of NG+ for this game? The fact that CD Projekt Red didn't want to do it itself? The fact that all the mods on Nexus didn't offer a truly CDPR-like experience, requiring you to come into the game and keep your progressive settings?

So am I. And I decided to do something about it - try to create an NG+ that would be similar to what the CDPR would do.

While mod introduces new enemy abilities to increase difficulty, I recommend Enemies of Night City (a useful list in dependencies) for added complexity, just like New Game+. Maud introduces several new enemies to increase difficulty, provided you have Phantom Liberty installed.

So, what is so unique offers this mod?

- Weren't you satisfied with the starting possibilities of the base game? Did you have to start with Phantom Liberty, doing too many quests? Me too.

New Game+ has two options for starting the game. One begins with the rescue of Sandra Dorsett, the other - after the completion of The Heist. Both options speed up previous quests.

- Were you unhappy that other NG+ mods needed to go into the game to save in order to move your inventory? Me too. (No offense, psiberx, Respector is great.)

If the game was last saved on a version of the game with a patch of 2.0 or later, New Game+ can load the save data directly from the save selection menu, without having to continue the game from that save.

I won't spoiler about other pieces of content that fashion adds, so go and play! Some content is only available with Phantom Liberty, although later I can make it available for copies without PL.

How do I know I'm eligible for the New Game+?

Saves can be transferred to New Game+ if they were made on patch 2.0 or higher:

- are Point Of No Return saves or

- Hanako is waiting for you in Embers or

- Reed is waiting for you at Misty's Esoterica.

Saves are filtered by playthrough, and only the last save per game is displayed on the save screen.

You will be informed of your New Game+ eligibility when the New Game+ menu button appears on the screen.

If your only eligible saves are from patch 1.63 or earlier, simply continue with one of these saves, make any save again, and then return to the main menu. Once you are in the main menu, New Game+ will find the new save and display the appropriate button for you.

Languages

Currently, the mod supports only English, but translations are possible and welcome. It uses ArchiveXL to localize mods.

Constraints

- To download saves from games started with New Game+, you must install New Game+. This is a stringent requirement, and it will not be abolished.

- As a result, saves from New Game+ will NOT work on consoles using crossplay.

- Console saves are not supported for transfer of progression due to differences between console and PC saves, you will have to re-save to PC.

- Mod does not tolerate the player's wardrobe (including Equipment-EX), you will have to create it again.

- Maud does not retain the player's chosen perks due to the ability to change attributes when creating a character. Perk points and Relic points (in the case of Ghost Freedom) will be returned to the player.
