Former Editor of GAMINGbible, Ewan also has words at Kotaku, Den of Geek, NME, and UNILAD. He's appeared on various podcasts, including VGC's and BBC's Let's Talk About Tech.

Cyberpunk 2077 does a lot of things right, but one thing it really excels at is its romances. Whether you're in a steady relationship with Judy, or cruising the Badlands with Panam, there are some amazing characters to give your heart to.

Of course, when you've put as much time into Cyberpunk 2077 as many of us probably have at this point, you'll likely have seen everything the in-game relationships have to offer. So what happens when you've read every text, had every phone call with your virtual darling? You see what fan-made expansions are out there.

Cyberpunk 2077 Players Get Unofficial Panam Expansion

One for the Panam lovers

Assuming you decided to romance Panam in Cyberpunk 2077, you can now download and play a brand-new mod by dederara called "Go on a Date (Panam) - Side Quest". This mod does exactly what it suggests, offering players extended romance options with the lovely Panam.

To be very clear up front, this mod doesn't contain any NSFW content or sex scenes. It's on the wholesome side. You'll have to look elsewhere for the other stuff.

This mod adds repeatable side romance activities with Panam that trigger through phone messages and then play out as mini side quests in the open world, not unlike the dates you can go on in GTA 5. Obviously this mod only works once you're in a relationship with Panam. Assuming you meet those criteria, you can get an invitation via text to start a date event at a random location marked on your map.

What do these dates entail? You can go swimming, hang out at the beach, do some shooting, or even just go to a bar and watch some live music. The mod includes a bunch of reused voice lines (no AI used as far as I can see), and 108 brand-new phone messages.

Cyberpunk 2077 Is Packed With Mods

What about Judy?

Obviously, some of you might be wondering if there are mods for the other romanceable characters like Judy and River. You probably won't be shocked to discover that there are, of course, plenty of different mods covering all the romances that have been designed to improve variety and immersion. You can head to a website like NexusMods and search from there.

Whoever you chose to love in Cyberpunk 2077, I can guarantee there'll be mods out there to help you get a little more life out of the relationship.
