Positively verified against the game v2.0+ and 2.1+

It looks like the Skippy bug this mod patches has been fixed by CDPR in the game v2.x.

It won't harm if you install it or forget to uninstall it though as it's just idle in the new game.
I keep this mod download for users who prefer to play the game v1.6+ for whatever reason or... to update it in case CDPR loses Skippy again in future releases.

You might be interested in my other mod that reactivates Skippy talking AI post-quest in the game v2:  Welcome back my dear Skippy

Know nothing about Skippy or have just found it?
Then a lot of fun is still ahead of you, and with this mod, you can enjoy it in full.

Since the game version 1.5, Skippy episodes have been haunted by a game glitch that makes it invisible in dialogues.
This breaks the game's immersion and makes the otherwise hilarious scenes dull, like reading a text found on a shard.
This mod restores the missing animations, allowing you to fully experience the fun of the encounters with our quirky "little friend".

Before:



After:




Two editions are available: CET and redscript.

Which edition should I choose?

The choice between the two editions depends on your personal preference.
Both editions provide the same functionality.

The differences come from dependencies:

CET edition:

Requirement: Cyber Engine Tweaks

- Requires only one dependency (CET)
- Easy to manage and troubleshoot while the game application is running
- Easier to troubleshoot
- More susceptible to being disabled by game updates due to its CET dependency
- More likely to experience CET-related issues during gameplay

redscript edition:

Requirement 1: redscript
Requirement 2: cybercmd

- Requires two dependencies if used in combination with REDmod or with the game v2.x
- Requires a game application restart for management and troubleshooting
- Troubleshooting may be more difficult
- Less susceptible to being disabled by game updates
- Less likely to experience code execution issues during gameplay.


What if I install both editions?

There is no harm in installing both.
The CET edition will detect the presence of the redscript edition and remain inactive.


Compatibility info:

Game v1.6+ with corresponding requirement versions depending on the edition installed.
Game v2.0+ - 2.1+ compatible although not needed as the underlying bug is fixed in game gen 2.
Not tested against earlier versions.
CET 1.29.0 is not supported due to numerous issues in this version.
CET 1.30.0 is not supported due to issues in this version.

Issue reporting:

If you experience some unexpected mod functionality on the supported game and requirement versions please first verify it with all other mods disabled (with the exception for the required scripting platforms) before reporting.
The mods types that may affect this one functionality typically are:

• CET scripting platform disabled due to versions mismatch or misconfiguration,
• the redscript mod files in the \Cyberpunk 2077\r6\scripts folder
• the CET mod files in the \Cyberpunk 2077\bin\x64\plugins\cyber_engine_tweaks\mods folder
• REDmod mods in the \Cyberpunk 2077\mods folder
  

Please note I don't provide support for the required modding platforms or plugins.
If you find any issue with the requirements please contact their vendors.

Please note 99% of issues come from incompatible mods, corrupted data in game saves, unhealthy game install base or corrupted mod install.
I reserve the remaining 1% for unknown yet mod bugs.
