How To Romance Judy as Male V in Cyberpunk 2077? Let’s Bend the Rules

Official Male V Romance Options

First, let’s get the canon stuff out of the way. If you’re playing a male V and want to stick to the script, Night City offers you two options:

• Panam Palmer: You’ll need a masculine body type.
• Kerry Eurodyne: You’ll need a masculine body type and voice.

Both are great characters with their own solid questlines. But you’re not here for them, are you? 😉

Steps to make Judy romance active for male character

1. Installing Cyber Engine Tweaks

Before we can do anything, you need to unlock the in-game console. The tool for that job is Cyber Engine Tweaks. It’s an absolute must-have for anyone serious about modding Cyberpunk 2077.

1. Go grab the latest version of Cyber Engine Tweaks. You can usually find it on GitHub or Nexus Mods.
2. Unzip the file. You’ll see a few new files and folders.
3. Drag and drop all of them into your main Cyberpunk 2077 folder or use Vortex to install this mod automatically. The path usually looks something like [Game Folder]/bin/x64/. The key is to make sure the version.dll file ends up in the same place as your Cyberpunk2077.exe.
4. This is important: Make sure you disable any overlays you’re running. Stuff like Steam Overlay, RivaTuner, Fraps… they can fight with the mod’s console window and stop it from opening. Trust me, it’s a common headache.
5. Also, steam installs it automatically, but. just in case, make sure you have the latest Visual C++ Redistributable Versions.

2. Judy Romance Console Command

Alright, once the mod is installed, you’re ready. The timing here is critical. You need to do this before or during the “Pyramid Song” quest. My advice? Make a hard save right before you start it, just in case.

1. Load up your save file.
2. Open the console. The default key is usually the tilde ~ key ( I use Ctrl + F4), but you can change it in the mod settings.
3. Carefully type or paste command into the console
4. Hit Enter. That’s it. You’ve flipped the switch.

The Command:

Game.GetQuestsSystem():SetFactStr("judy_romanceable", 1)

Now, just play through the quest as normal. The romance dialogue options and scenes should now be available to you.

3. Verification Commands

Not sure the command registered? You can double-check. Just open the console again and type this in:

print(Game.GetQuestsSystem():GetFactStr("judy_romanceable"))

If the console spits back a “1” at you, you’re good to go. ✅ If it shows “0” or nothing, something went wrong, and you should try entering the main command again.

Alternative Command Format

You can also try this command, which does the same thing:

for i, v in next, {"judy"} do Game.GetQuestsSystem():SetFactStr(v.."_romanceable", 1) end

Important Considerations

This little workaround is surprisingly stable, but it’s not perfect. Here are a few quirks to expect before you go changing Night City’s destiny.

Timing Requirements

I mentioned this before, but it’s worth saying again: timing is everything. You absolutely must use this command before or during the “Pyramid Song” quest.

My advice? The moment that quest pops up in your journal, stop what you’re doing and make a hard save. Don’t rely on autosaves. This way, if anything goes sideways, you have a clean slate to fall back on. Once you run the command and the quest is active, the new dialogue options will just… appear. Like they were always meant to be there.

Voice Acting Limitations

Here’s where things get a little weird, but also kinda fascinating. For the most part, you’ll hear your usual male V voice. But every now and then, a line recorded for female V will play instead. It can be a bit jarring, sure. But it’s also a peek behind the development curtain.

It pretty much confirms that CDPR had both voice actors record the entire romance arc. The lines exist in the game files. This makes their decision to lock it based on V’s body and voice even more… questionable. Why record it all just to hide it away? A mystery for another time, I guess. 🤔

Game Compatibility

You don’t need to worry about your game version breaking this. This method has been around for a while and is confirmed to work just fine with Cyberpunk 2077 on version 2.0 and later, which includes the Phantom Liberty DLC. I’ve personally tested it with the latest patch, so you’re good to go.

Why was the Nexus Mod To Enable Judy Romance Removed?

Some of you might remember there used to be a simple, one-click mod for this on Nexus. So why is it gone? Well, it was removed by Nexus Mods administrators.

The official reason they gave had to do with their policies against changing a character’s “canonical” sexual orientation. It was, let’s say, a controversial decision. Especially since, at the same time, mods that let a female V romance the canonically straight Panam were left untouched. It feels a bit like one rule for thee and another for me, doesn’t it? SMH. So, because of that whole mess, we’re left with the console command method. Works just as well, just requires a bit more typing.

Additional Romance Management

While we’re playing puppet master with Night City’s relationships, why stop at Judy? The same method can be used to tweak other romances or even turn them off completely if you decide V is better off alone.

To enable the Panam romance for female V:

Game.GetQuestsSystem():SetFactStr("sq027_panam_lover", 1)

To disable any romance:

Just find the right command and swap the “1” at the end with a “0”. This essentially tells the game “nope, not happening.”

It’s a simple way to have full control over your V’s story, regardless of the limitations set by the game.
