Will the Phantom Liberty expansion break mods?

I assume it will break mods since this is an expansion which will add tons of new things like enemies, weapon, vehicles, etc.

Can't imagine gameplay tweak mods working with new assets being added.

Most updates break mods until the mods are updated so hard to imagine that future ones won't. And will be followed, inevitably, by people who don't update or remove mods wondering why their game now crashes. D:

Not seen anything officially confirming any new things coming with the expansion so I'd not set my heart on anything in particular though.

Yes, any changes to the game like an expansion or a patch or a DLC will most likely break mods.

Yes, if you mod games, in the vast majority of cases updates will break mods - mostly script based mods - therefore not every mod will be impacted.
For example 1.61 broke about 30% of my Cyberpunk mods (I had 130+ mods at that time).
If you mod your game (any modded game really), it is important to set the condition in Steam for the game NOT to auto update.
The strategy is that once an update drops, you set Steam to run offline until such time as the mod authors have a chance to update their mods.
Cyberpunk modders are pretty good at this, for 1.61 within 2 weeks or so all affected mods that I used were updated.
Of course, depending on the changes a few mods may no longer be required - because CDPR introduce something that replaces the mod, again this window of offline Steam gives you a chance to check what mods you can safely remove.
Mods always require a bit of effort on behalf of the user, but well worth it in my view...

In general, you should not expect developers to support individual third party mods. The onus of maintaining mods lies solely on the mod creator(s) themselves.

In laymen’s terms: “Your child is your responsibility.”

Yes without a doubt. CET, redscript, pretty much anything that relies on those and isn't a baseline asset replacer will be broken. Its why I avoid significantly modding games that are still being updated and just stick to mods that I know won't break my save file with future updates, such as texture mods

will it give new endings? off topic i know.

Breaking mods is a sure thing. Break save games will be unforgivable.

Dunno about the Expansion itself, but the 1.7 Patch probably will...I think every prior patch has done so. This is why I hope very much 1.7 is released before the DLC so the bugs can be worked out, and the mods brought up to date before the Phantom Liberty expansion is released.

Personally, I'm considering just deleting all my mods and adding them back in as the Mod creators update their work. Since my mods are mostly look-and-feel they don't make a lot of difference to the game, esp. the early game. Having new Patches and DLC means time to start a new game, IMO.

If they break the apartment cats, /THAT/ will be unforgivable.

Breaking vanilla save games would be bad. Breaking modded save games is almost a given if it breaks the mods used for the save game.

Broke nearly every mod, and some corruption issues as a result.
