is Aesthetic cyberwear slots possible?

[LadyLottie]

I have never made a mod and credit to all the amazing modders out there that have made CP77 so much better but I don't know if this is possible, and it probably isn't, however...

One of the huge missed opportunities in Cyberpunk 2077 is the ability to use cybernetics as personal expression, this was a huge part of the cp2020 universe and its notably missing in the player character here, especially when it is done by NPC's. In game design Aesthetic cyberwear would easily be as possible as creating clothing but putting it retroactively into a game I don't know.
.

My theory of a 'Aesthetic cyberwear slots' mod would be based on combining cyberwear slot expanders (examples below) just to make slots in the cyberwear menu and then use cyberwear visual replacers that work in clothing slots (example below) but make the expanded cyberwear slots not work for cyberwear instead work in the same way that 'outer torso' or the 'outfit' clothing slots replace undergarment clothing in this case for the cyberwear visual changers.

Doing it this way you could in theory then put the Arasaka cyberarms or Kitch cyberarms visual changers next to your cyberarms in the cyberwear menu and it changes the look of your Gorilla arms/ monowire/ etc to the look that you chose. -The same then goes for legs, head, integumentary (skin) system, face etc.

Once you have the basic mod functioning then you and other modders could then create cyberwear looks that change the appearance of any cyberwear equipped on that bodypart.

.

As I imagine creating the extra slots in the cyberwear menu is easy (its already done) and creating the visual replaces that work in menu slots works too.
The problems that I see is; changing the look of cyberwear in-game could be difficult, but more importantly having slots in the cyberwear menu work like the way that the clothing slots do would be the hard part.

Once again, if this is doable I'd love to know. if you'd like to do it even better.
