Maverick's ULTIMATE Hitman Gameplay Overhaul (Full Modlist Tutorial)

Lite version (<20 mods) here

Hitman: World of Assassination is an amazing game. It is almost everything we ever wanted to see from Hitman. It became mainstream and deserved so. With that, however, came changes. For new players to pick it up, they had to make it more casual and hand-holding. If you've ever wanted to bring back the challenge from the older games, you're in luck!

There are PLENTY of gameplay mods for Hitman here on nexus. And a LOT of them bring both challenge and realism to the table. Some of the most perfect mods, however, are incompatible/outdated, which frustrated me so much, as they were one step closer to making the game even more perfect. After a month of playing with them, however, I managed to fix most of them. This tutorial not only goes through a list of all mods you should install, but also how to patch some of them up.

I've separated the modlist into 7 different categories, with the most crucial ones on top, and least crucial ones at the bottom. I will not cover installing mods that have it instructed in their own page description. You're free to install/skip any mods you like, so long as they follow the mod order. I do, however, highly recommend you install mods which I mention have dependencies. Also, unless I specifically mention it, you're free to choose what mod options you'll use.

Without further ado, let's begin!

Before installing any mods, you're going to need a couple of tools:

1. Simple Mod Framework - the absolutely, most essential tool of them all. It allows us to easily install mods for Hitman, patch them up, modify them, and so, so much more. If I don't explicitly state otherwise, you install mods using this tool. Download the latest "Release.zip", and extract the "Simple Mod Framework" folder into your HITMAN 3 folder.

2. ZHM Mod SDK - the next absolutely necessary tool. A lot of dynamic mods depend on SDK, and you won't be able to install them (properly) without it.

These mods consist mostly of extra missions, new content, etc., which in my opinion add MASIVELY to the game:

1. Hitman World of Assassination Unofficial Community Patch (currently broken, don't use)  - patches up bugs and errors in the game the developers didn't. Constantly in development.

2. Mission Companion - needed for some mods in the list to work.

3. Sandbox Hantu Port - turns the sniper map Hantu Port into a fully
