I never thought paying rent would become the most nerve-wracking part of my life in Night City. Before installing the Eviction Notice mod, my apartment in Megabuilding H10 was just a glorified storage unit – a place to stash weapons and change outfits between gigs. Now? It’s a constant weight on my shoulders, like a swarm of cyber-mosquitoes buzzing in my neural interface. Every eddie I earn gets mentally split: 60% for new cyberware, 30% for ammo, and that looming 10% for rent. Forget Corpo overlords; my new nemesis is a digital landlord who texts me reminders with passive-aggressive emojis.

The mod transformed V’s world by introducing brutal realism:

  • Deposits & deadlines: Pay up front or get locked out 🚪🔒

  • 450+ text interactions with AI landlords and quirky real estate bots

  • Consequences: Lose all apartments? Sleep in alleyways until you befriend fixers

It’s like Night City suddenly grew fangs. Those "Rent Paid" indicators on neighbors’ doors? They used to be background decor. Now they’re judgmental neon eyes 👁️, mocking me when I’m short after a failed heist. The pressure’s especially brutal early-game – choosing between a shiny new monowire and keeping a roof over V’s head feels like balancing on a nanotube thread stretched over a chasm.

  • Does this override core gameplay? Not at all! Rent’s a background drumbeat, not the main soundtrack.

  • Can you own multiple apartments? Yes – but juggling them is like herding cyber-cats wired on synth-caffeine.

What stunned me most were the new characters. Meet Zara, a sarcastic real estate AI who sends messages like:

"Rent due in 48hrs, choom. Skip again and I’ll repurpose your flat as a Scav hideout. 😘"

Her texts weave mini-stories – eviction dramas, neighbor feuds – making the megabuilding feel alive, like a biomechanical heart pumping stories through chrome arteries. With official updates focusing on photo modes and autodrive (fun but fluff), this mod fills voids I didn’t know existed. Yet it makes me wonder: does hyper-realism enhance dystopia... or just replicate capitalist dread we escape games to avoid? The answer’s as layered as Night City’s smog.
