Description

This mod provides Songbird's hands as equippable items, with specific tweaks so that they leave the rest of the arm unchanged - making them compatible with the arm and elbow cyberware from my Valentino arms mod, as well as letting you use them with appearances where the you just want a normal arm.

If you're looking for the full songbird arm experience, the existing mod is an excellent choice.

Virtual Photographers

So many thanks to all the VPs who contributed such amazing photos for this mod page. It would be a very sad place without you all!



Requirement Notes

  • Install all of the listed requirements first(!)
  • Archive-XL must be >= 1.16.8 or the game will probably crash
  • If you are using Vanilla HD 2.x or default Fem KSUV arms, you must install the matching compatibility fix file from the Cyberware Core for the right arm to look correct.


Installation

  • Ensure all requirements have been installed
  • Download and unzip the main file into your Cyberpunk 2077 directory (ex: Steam\steamapps\common\Cyberpunk 2077)
  • If you are using a body or arm mod, download the optional file for UV or VTK, depending on which framework your body uses
  • Unzip the optional file into your Cyberpunk 2077 directory as well. It will overwrite the yaml file that identifies the body mod being used
  • If you are using Vanilla HD 2.x or UV Vanilla arms, you need to install the matching bug fix archive. Without this, the right arm will not look correct.


Uninstallation

  • Delete the files that were extracted during installation (As the body mod optional file overwrites a default file, there is nothing extra to delete)


Virtual Atelier

These items are available in the KiasuBurger Cyberware Atelier from my KiasuBurger Cyberware Core.

Questions & Answers

Why are these using Toenail slots?

This is due to the need for arm replacement parts to be layered below any clothing items you are using. The 'logical' arm, elbow, and hand slots in Equipment-Ex are also configured to layer above clothing, as they are expected to be used for things like armour or gloves, etc. Only the fingernail and toenail slots are guaranteed to layer below clothing, and the fingernail slots are used for the Valentino arm/elbow cyberware, so hands use the toenail slot.

What about player Cyberarm compatibility?

The player Cyberarms (Monowire, Mantis Blade, Gorilla, Launcher) are tricky to handle as they completely replace the whole arm themselves, use a completely different mesh structure, and have custom rigs and animations. The end result is that it's impossible to replace them with equippable items without fancy scripting, and maybe that's not even possible.

What I have done is to hide most of the Cyberarm parts except for the bits that look mostly ok when mixed with the Valentino arm.
  • Monowire: Had to hide everything.
  • Mantis Blades: Invisible when inactive. Blades appear when activated
  • Gorilla Arms: Had to hide everything.
  • Launcher: Invisible when inactive. Launcher appears when activated


Note that some body mods remove cyberarm parts completely and replace them with a combination of normal arms and empty meshes. If you use one of these bodies, the Launcher arm may end up looking wrong, because of how I tried to make them appear - the mechanism parts I tried to keep visible might end up being normal arm parts instead.

If this launcher problem really bothers you, let me know and if there's enough demand I can do a variation with no parts visible.
