About this mod
Adjustments to quest objectives to give some breathing room in the main quest and let V explore and live a little.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Donations
This mod does this so far:
- Edit some 30+ time sensitive quest objectives to better indicate points of no returns and give V some reason to go out and explore more
- Increase timing before calls from certain quest stages and NPCs (Takemura, Mr Hands in Pacifica)
- Increase Rogue's admission fee to 40,000 eddies (she is the Queen of the After Life.. she won't do your dirty work for less).
- Increase Clouds entrance fee to 10,000 eddies (you are getting a VIP Experience there... if you want a cheap lay, try JigJig Street).
Do I need to install all four files?
I broke down the mod into four pieces to allow you to customize it the way you want to play.
- LiveALitte: Quest objectives and prices changes for the main game
- LiveALittle timers: Only quest delay timers for the main game
- LiveALittlePL: Quest objective adjustments for Phantom Liberty
- LiveALittlePL timers: Quest delay timers for Phantom Liberty.
If you only want quest objectives, install the two quest objective files.
If you only want quest timers, only install the timer files.
If you want full functionality, you will have to install all four.
How much of the main quest was edited?
There are too many changes to quest objectives to list here but you can get a sense if you look at the sample translation file in the optional downloads.
Quest related amounts changed:
- Pay back Viktor's chrome before the Heist: €$63,000 - because he gave you top of the line Kyroshi optics, a gun interface, a face scrambler and a NCPD database access.
- Entry fee to Clouds: €$10,000 - Clouds provides high end experiences. If you want cheap, go to Jig Jig street,
- Rogue's admission fee to track down Hellman: €$40,000 - after running the Afterlife for decades, Rogue can afford to be picky with new clients, especially radioactive ones with a price on their head.

Does the mod force you to do things a certain way?
Outside of the changes to entry fees, the mod is currently purely role play and cosmetic.
I hope, in time, to be able to add more constraints .. like having to get to a certain level of Street Cred before Rogue will accept to see you, or add more delay before certain quest objectives pop up, but that will take a while to learn and experiment with.
If you can help, I am all ears.
Why are the entry fees so expensive?
Short answer.. to give you a chance to do multiple gigs first.
I don't know if it is the mods I am using but I found since 2.0 it is easy to get ridiculous amounts of money quickly.
Compatibility
Conflicts reported so far:
- Ripper Services reset the debt back to vanilla values.
Other timer mods
For more quest timers, the mod was recently made compatible with the excellent Immersive Fixers.
You can also check out these two mods to tweak some dialogues and reduc the time pressure on your V:
- Hanako Call No Rush
- Delete -A Few Weeks Tops- Voiceline
- If you want to delay Rachel's call after the diner, use this mod: They Won't Go When I Go - Rachel's call delayed
Does the mod support multiple languages?
The quest objectives changes are in an english-us localization file inside the mod archive, so it is possible to extract it, edit it for another language and pack it again. Right now the mod is English only, but I am happy to add translations if anyone is interested. I can even provide the source JSON file if you need it.
Languages supported besides English:
Live a Little:
- Portuguese (Brazil)
- German
- Russian
Live a Little PL:
- German
- Chinese
