You’re probably rubbing your eyes right now, wondering if you’re hallucinating a mod for HZDR. But no, this isn’t a desert mirage, it’s real! And because I don’t do things halfway, it’s not just one mod… it’s three mods bundled together in one glorious package! (Okay, okay—just joking. Those three were purely necessary to make sure everything actually works, since this is still a beta test.) So, what do we have on board?

Unlock Reward content - mod which unlocks all facepaints and focus light effects in the begining of game

Friendly Animals - mod which makes all animals not to run from Aloy

Buy quest outfits from merchants - mod which allow to buy from merchants such quest outfits as: Shield Weaver, Undergarments, Nora Silent Hunter Master Adept, Banuk Ice Hunter Master Adept and more.

Future Plans:

Mod Manager – because clicking “Install mods” should feel as easy as ordering pizza. Just like in HFW, but with fewer toppings.

Port the Core Mods from HZD – by “core” I mean the general stuff: stats, parameters, and all those crunchy numbers. Good news: most of them are already begging to be ported, so expect a migration party soon.

Develop Modding Tools for Models & Textures – now here’s the tricky bit. The devs went wild and reshuffled the model structure so much that old outfit mods from HZD can’t just stroll in. That means most of those outfits will need to be rebuilt from scratch… yes, scratch, like baking bread without a recipe. But hey, challenge accepted!

How to install (this current test version):

Go to "package" folder, usually located at:...\steamapps\common\Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered\LocalCacheDX12\package

Make back up of PackFileLocators.bin file and keep it in the safe place =) (you will need it to recover the game state to default when its necessary)

Drop PackFileLocators.bin and package.40.00.core.stream files from mod zip archive to "package" folder, and press replace if windows will ask you.

How to uninstall:

To uninstall the mod, delete both files PackFileLocators.bin and package.40.00.core.stream from the package folder, and then restore the original PackFileLocators.bin that you backed up earlier.

Share your thoughts below, does the mod run smoothly in your HZDR game, or did you spot any quirks? Every bit of feedback helps to polish things up. Let’s keep the HZDR modding train rolling together!

Dear Patrons, your support truly means the world to me. You’re the reason these projects keep moving forward, and the reason I can turn wild ideas into playable reality. Thank you for being the fuel behind the madness!
