Refreshing Swim - Swimming Buff Mod (with Dark Future Integration)

Ever wanted a reason to visit the beach or go for a night swim? Swimming can now yield a unique buff and a chance for a radiation exposure debuff. Dark Future integration version restores Humanity Loss, created because I wanted an immersive benefit to spending time in nature and more fun ways to restore humanity.

Ever wanted a reason to visit the beach or go for a night swim? Swimming can now yield a unique buff and a chance for a radiation exposure debuff. Dark Future integration version restores Humanity Loss, created because I wanted an immersive benefit to spending time in nature and more fun ways to restore humanity. Because in a place like Night City, little joys keep you afloat. Sure, water in 2077 can be radiated and gross, but it's all a matter of perspective when every day is about survival. Sometimes a dive in cool water can feel like a weight lifted off your shoulders...
[heading][size=5]📃[u]Features[/u]✨[/size][/heading]
[list]
[]🌊 [b]Get Refreshed[/b] - Swim for 15+ seconds to get a Refreshed buff, if it doesn't work at first, dunk yourself under water, and clear your mind. Swim around and get your frustration out for a bit...don't rush. The buff will come when V feels a little better. Now also grants Health regeneration during combat in addition to +10% Skill XP.[/]
[]☢️ [b]Radiation Exposure[/b] - Swimming in contaminated water can trigger Radiation Exposure. Your eyes get irritated until you reach shore, you gag, and once back on land you cough periodically from inhaling irradiated water. It reduces Max Stamina and RAM Regen Rate while gradually draining Nerve. If you were recently home with vanilla "Rested" buffs, they get removed when radiation triggers. Radiation lingers in the same body of water - travel farther away to swim safely again. Get home and take a shower as soon as you can, or keep your Nerve in check until it wears off.[/]
[]⚓ [b]Dark Future Integration Version[/b] - If you install the Dark Future Integrated version, restores 10 points of Humanity Loss (no longer limited to once per in-game day). Gives you a nice natural option alongside dancing, intimacy, or mods like [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/29958]PRAY - profess your faith[/url] and [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/23336]Immersive Meditations - Unmarked Locations (Dark Future is supported)[/url]. Nerve gain and drain rates are also applied to the buff and debuff (default gain 0.5, fully adjustable).[/]
[]🚿[b]Simple [/b][b]Pacifica Beach Showers[/b] - Optional File for 2 functional showers on Pacifica Beach using [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/21422]Native Interactions Framework[/url], goes great with [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/26613]Go on a Date (Panam) - Side romance activity[/url] by [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/users/92720373]dederara[/url] [i]just in case[/i] the water is radiated during a date and you need to rinse off.[/]
[]🌃 [b]Combat Aware[/b] - The refreshed buff and humanity benefit won't trigger mid-firefight, get yourself out of danger and then take a dip. Radiation is also blocked during scripted quest sequences at scene tiers 2 and up, with permanent safe zones at Laguna Bend and Black Sapphire so story moments near water do not leave you an irradiated mess, that was the safest way I could implement it.[/]
[]⚙️ [b]Full Mod Settings Support[/b] - Toggle Radiation on/off, adjust roll chance, toggle visual/audio effects, control cough frequency, and fine-tune all Dark Future Nerve gain/drain values. Mod Settings is required just like it is for Dark Future, so you should already have it. I highly recommend downloading the amazing [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/31640]Mod Configuration Menu[/url] by [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/users/539682]Antrix[/url] as an extension for QoL, I use it myself.[/]
[]🐬 [b]Lightweight + Compatible[/b] - You should not see any performance impact from this mod. Should also be zero incompatibilities.[/]
[][b]🤽‍♂️ Seamless Integration[/b] - Custom buff icons blend in with the rest of your HUD:

[]The Cyberpunk modding community as a whole, taking an incredibly well made game and making it even better somehow.[/]
[]Major props to the creators and maintainers of [b]redscript[/b], [b]TweakXL[/b], and [b]WolvenKit[/b] for their preem wikis and tools. Literally could not figure out the custom icon pipeline without using those resources.[/]
[][url=https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/users/203565662]DarkFortuneTeller[/url] for building the incredible [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/16300?tab=description]Dark Future - Urban Survival Gameplay[/url] mod. This idea stemmed from just wanting to restore a bit of humanity by swimming and fit with other mods in my LO that spawn quests at the beach [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/26613]Go on a Date (Panam) - Side romance activity[/url] by [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/users/92720373]dederara[/url])[/]
[]Also [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/users/18288134]luridphoenix[/url] because I saw [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/31518?tab=description]Let's Go Bowling - GigCore Addon (Alpha)[/url] and was reminded of the potential this game has for basic RPG stuff like adventuring with allies, needs, etc. If you haven't already, I highly recommend checking out that mod, especially if you already have the awesome [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/27625]Night City Allies[/url] installed.[/]
[]This would be super cool with mods like [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/27131]Outdoor V - Canyon Forest[/url] or [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/25770]Night City Flooded - Water Planes Across the Map with Options[/url] (so you can get some more water across the map and set it to clean in the MCM)[/]
[]Mentioned above but I highly recommend installing the [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/4885]Mod Settings[/url] version of this mod (standalone or DF integration) because it is highly configurable, and it is best paired with [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/31640]Mod Configuration Menu [/url]by [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/users/539682]Antrix[/url] as I use that myself and tested with it installed, much cleaner way to manage.[/]
[]Built with help from Claude (Anthropic) for the redscript, TweakXL, and Mod Settings/MCM side of things. I am a bit new to this stuff, but all the actual design, testing, decisions, tuning, and custom vector icons were made by me.[/]
[]Shoutout to Canva for [url=https://www.affinity.studio/]Affinity[/url]. Now I don't need photoshop for graphic design stuff. This project was also an excuse to learn Affinity adjustment layers, live filter layers, and basic functions. Super impressed so far w/ the program.[/]
[]You, for downloading! 🙏
