As the title suggest I think having in-game mod support is perfect for this game. The Biggest being that it's not just for PC, but for the next-gen consoles (Similar to Skyrim) release and people like me who play on the cloud. Remember, back during the release it wasn't just the PC version that was viable, but also Stadia and GeForce Now (which now has a 3080 Tier). It would be a good way for people who either can't afford or have a PC rig and want to try out the mods.
It could be a good 10-20 from big to minor that could be selected in the options menu or main selection screen. Settings for each would be adjusted/curated for most optimal performance for what hardware you're on. incompatible mods would automatically toggle on and off when selected, and the Modders selected would be compensated for their incredible work.
Some that could be included
-ReShades (Multiple)
-Better Minimap
-Limited HUD
-Weather Probability Rebalance
-Better Finer Rain
-Respector
-Full Gameplay Rebalance
-Alternate Crowd Behavior and Other Tweaks
-Lifepath Bonuses and Gang-Corp Traits
-Cyber Vehicle Overhaul
-Cyber Drifting - Crowds and Traffic
-StreetStyle - Immersive Fashion System
They're others that other people can name and this might be a pipedream, but these mods exist and it would be nice to be able to access them without needing a local pc rig. I'm aware of Shadow PC but that would defeat the purpose because of price point and it's GPU. Also, I'm aware that they hired some modders already.
But best of all, I think it would appease the majority of the fans and would give developers more time for DLC and Story content, as well as including some mods into future updates officially.
