How to install Freelancer Variations for Hitman 3 Freelancer

[@ryanlee9869]

Hitman mods are really underrated most people dont even know they exist

[@volvomodus]

yep, thats why I'm trying to show how easy it can be done too

[@Chaz8lewis]

@@volvomodusik it’s been a year but can you get any mods on console?

[@volvomodus]

@@Chaz8lewis nah not possible

Seeing nighttime maps in daylight is so mindboggling

[@volvomodus]

It's very strange at first but some maps actually look better at night/day in my opinion

[@Jojje94]

I've been busy making suit replacement cosmetics, but I've been aware of this mod for a while and definitely should check it out. Random weather and time of day really is something that should be in the base Freelancer experience imo.

[@volvomodus]

so true, it just adds so much more replayability

[@danielyoungblood3931]

I was wondering when someone would mod Freelancer. These mods are always cool.

[@volvomodus]

modding community is a gem. they worked on this long before freelancer was out, with very nice results

@@volvomodus is there a mod that gives free merces? I want a gamemode where i have infinite currency

@@volvomodus thank you!

[@BATMAN69420-V]

Some of these mods feel like they should be in the base game. Thank you king for this guide and you’re actually the best hitman KZbinr that I watch ❤️

[@volvomodus]

Thanks man appreciate that :D

[@supermassive6263]

Though i dont play it on pc but this is awesome cant wait yo try these awesome mod on when i upgrade my pc. This is the most legendary hitman content creator ever period. I saw your journey with your channel and makes me feel so happy and glad for your success and for your determination to this game. Kudos to you my brother and wish you all the more success.

[@volvomodus]

thank you so much :D and yea, playing on PC has changed my Hitman experience so much, its amazing

[@NickelCanvas]

Nice work on this video, so helpful!

[@StoNem09]

damn, IOI should officially implement this mod to the game, this makes freelancer 100 times better

[@volvomodus]

i know right!

[@BobTheMartin]

This is so amazing I wish this was in the vanilla game, it just makes sense

[@RZ_2K]

rogueless freelancer is pretty good as a mod too, and highly customisable so you can change how you play freelancer as well as prevent annoyances

[@volvomodus]

definitely a recommendable mod

[@LovezHD]

thanks for this guide! I always get confused when it comes to installing mods 😂

[@volvomodus]

My pleasure :D

[@ilyakoni6887]

Thanks! Your videos made me realize that H3 has some mods in it! I always thought that this game is unmoddable or will go in offline mode or will have only cheat menus people use to cheat their way into leaderboards but there are actually some silly fun, QoL and just cool mods like this one

[@ilyakoni6887]

I hope they will never patch mods out like 2K did with gta modding community. I can bear with leaderboard cheaters for those lifechanging mods

[@volvomodus]

IOI seems to be pretty chill with modding, so far they made no attempt at stopping hitman mods

[@joshbrown3439]

Dude, that looks great, really would make the game better.

[@volvomodus]

it would be fantastic but for now, modders have to do all the work

[@bennibreaktionen1333]

Sieht sehr gut aus.❤

[@wojtuch3970]

I just needed a video like this.

[@volvomodus]

my pleasure :D

[@BasicallyAboutHitman]

As a console player, I can relate to this

[@volvomodus]

:'D

[@PsychoXV]

Why does this have to be a mod... Couldn't IOI be bothered to make it vary between normal and the altered versions. I love Hitman 3/WOA with the Freelancer mode but it feels off with how many problems occur alongside quality of life changes that should have been there since day 1 or at least pushed out better updates with needed changes/fixes. Anyway, thank you for the video bringing light to this mod and showing us how to install.

[@volvomodus]

My pleasure. Most of this stuff does not seem too be difficult to be added. They totally should

[@Kleavers]

This should have been the default. Such a missed oppurtinity.

[@volvomodus]

Agreed very much

[@zeefixed8582]

I instelled the SDK like shown however it fails to appear in my game, what should I do?

[@yellowcat123]

Nice video

[@dededede9257]

look great

[@staywoke1337]

I can't start Freelancer "The required content could not be found."

[@VenetusAlpha]

SDK doesn’t seem to want to work with me, guess I’m going to be missing out…

[@baldpanda6312]

Honestly hitman freelancer should have been delayed another 3 months so we could have gotten stuff like this instead of having to get mods that fix the game

[@volvomodus]

i know right, would be an amazing addition

[@baldpanda6312]

@@volvomodus it would also be great if we had a better contract creator where we could place items and targets instead of marking random npcs

[@volvomodus]

@@baldpanda6312 oh contracts need an update for absolutely certainty

[@baldpanda6312]

@@volvomodus I hope that’s the last major hitman update is a world editor or some sort of map maker or something creative

[@volvomodus]

@@baldpanda6312 one can dream, right. But I guess that's once again a task for our beloved modding community

[@Lanizzas]

I have been trying to deploy the SMF mod (Step 1), but it always says, "deploy unsuccessful." I tried multiple times, but I received the same message. I contacted the creator, but he is not sure.

[@ALgamer47]

If they could change the time of day the weather and the settings like how everything is set up it would be fantastic but again that's asking too much

[@volvomodus]

One can dream

[@SylvesterLazarus]

I only have one question... is it possible to have Santa in Paris as my target?

[@volvomodus]

well I'm not sure to be honest. i imagine it may be possible

[@weed-hw4pl]

Why does mine says: make sure u select mod ZIP or rpk mod help, im new mod user too and i have downloaded SDK and why it doesnt let me??? Aply it

[@thegamingdoge2000]

I can only hope as a console player that io implements some of these mods or makes a mod workshop or something

[@volvomodus]

Especially freelancer variations just makes freelancer so much more fun

[@epciface]

followed the steps slowly made sure all installed etc but for some reason that mod menu doesn't show up when i load the game?? al the files are there and in right place so not sure what to do

[@themester1112]

The things you showed didint work, it say that i have a raw file which instable, so i cannot aply the mod.

[@monke9470]

Volvomodus is growing quickly, wish I could grow my channel like that

[@volvomodus]

most important part is to just have fun :D

[@monke9470]

Yep

[@theoneandoriginalgothkink159]

Do you know if there's any way to download and play as Pierce Brosnan's 007 mod?

[@volvomodus]

To my knowledge there is no such thing

[@thumbsup1089]

I found a trojan when i used windows defender to scan the Freelancer Variations SDK Mod 1.5. Windows Defender took actions to delete the file. I guess i wont be able to use this mod, thanks for the video though!

[@TheOnlyOneSpeedfreak]

Its so stupid they dont have the map variations in freelancer, just ne normal ones would add so much to that gamemode

[@volvomodus]

i know right. and many of the time of day changes are already in the game too, could just cycle through those

[@j751]

The mod works But i got this annoying bug in sdk where it shows my silent assassin rating, via a huge red bar at the top of the screen, that was installed via sdk. I can't seem to get rid of it no matter what.

[@volvomodus]

hm i have never seen that before, so not sure how this is happening sorry

[@dario2886]

I have issues starting the game any idea where I can ask for help?

[@AliGamer-lb9mo]

i have a problem when i enable freelancer variations in simple mod framework and then click apply this message comes: Mod Freelancer Variations replaces a base game entity file (00CCBBBFEC9178D3) with a raw file. This can cause compatibility issues, it makes the mod harder to work with and it requires more work when the game updates. Mod developers can fix this easily by using an entity.patch.json file.

[@volvomodus]

Can be ignored

@@volvomodusis it because i have sdk one so it works

[@0x5DA]

does SMF / peacock work on linux?

[@volvomodus]

it does, but full transparency, i dont know how. thats a good question to ask in the modding discord. for peacock at least, there actually is a guide in their wiki how to get it running on linux: thepeacockproject.org/wiki/intel/

[@0x5DA]

@@volvomodus cheers. might do just that at some point. i've had some pretty major stability issues w/ h3 on linux regardless which has kinda killed my interest in playing :/

[@YellowPlagueProductions]

Can you still play online, unlock challenges/rewards with this mod?

[@volvomodus]

You aren't playing online but recently they added a full mastery and challenge system

[@acegaming5528]

Yes, it's intended for online mode. Peacock is just a bonus.

[@popkat1]

I have both SMF and SKD mods but either the game crashes when trying to launch freelancer or it crashes when trying to launch non-vanilla variants of missions. Would really appreciate some help.

i used the sdk and smf mods, the deploy on smf failed but the file was still on smf folder, when i loaded the game and went on freelancer, everytime i wet on a mission the game crashed, what did i do wrong?

[@volvomodus]

If the deploy failed them it didn't install the mod, that's why it's crashing now

Can you still get Steam achievements with this?

[@volvomodus]

Yea you can

[@StrizetchYT]

they should at least add landslide to freelancer

[@volvomodus]

Very true

[@reallyofficialcoolcat6651]

It shouldnt be that hard to update this game since some modders can pull out big prohects like these themselves.

[@volvomodus]

Shouldn't be too much trouble to add this at all. Kinda strangers how they didn't even add a single bonus mission variant

[@shrekconfirmed5456]

Game crashes in the loading screen every time i depart for a mission from the safehouse. Is this a known issue?

[@acegaming5528]

You probably have the SDK mod on but not the SMF mod. Crash on attempting to load map means the game is looking for a file that does not exist

[@shrekconfirmed5456]

@@acegaming5528 i have deployed the SMF mod but it says "potential issues in deployment," and still crashes on load

[@acegaming5528]

"Potential Issues" doesn't mean anything, just ignore that The only alternative is specifically Chongqing crashes if you have Lighting Ultimate on. What other mods do you have on?

works online yeah?
