📋 About This Mod

What it Does: aims to make the solo / coop experience better, by creating a crew AI version for every playable character that doesn't exist on the base game. The new characters added are:

  • []Joy[/]

    []Pearl[/]

    []Houston[/]

    []Clover[/]

    []Jacket[/]

    Now, here's the difference between the 2 versions:

    ================== BASIC VERSION ==================

    • []Randomized Crew:  Every heist now features a random selection of crew members from the entire roster, instead of always running with the same four.[/]

      []Plug-and-Play:  Just drop the mod in and you're good to go. No menus, no setup, no fuss.[/]

    =================== FULL VERSION ===================

    • []All Basic Version Features: The full version has everything the basic version has, so choose one or the other, you don't need to have the basic version for the full version to work.[/]

      []Bot Count Control: Choose how many bots will join you on the heist, from 0 to 8.[/]

      []Custom Crew Selection: Hand-pick which crew members come along with you, or let chance decide with Random Mode.[/]

      []Pre-planning Menu: Configure everything from an integrated menu on the pre-planning screen. [/]

      []Persistent Settings: Your choices are saved across sessions.[/]

      []Loadout Aware: Since you cannot have a Crew AI character as your chosen character, the mod detects the character in your loadout and removes it from the selection list.[/]

    =================== A FEW NOTES ===================

    >This mod was built and tested in Solo play. In theory, it should also work in Friends Only and Invite Only lobbies, but I haven't been able to test multiplayer myself (couldn't find anyone to help with testing).

    >IMPORTANT: if you plan to use this in multiplayer, everyone in the lobby needs the mod installed. Otherwise, the extra crew characters will be invisible to non-host players.

    > If you give it a try with friends, drop a comment letting me know how it went. Any feedback (good or bad) helps a lot.

    > This was my first mod with UI/Menu, so it may contain some bugs, let me know if you find any and I will try to fix it as soon as possible.

    > Any features you think would be cool to add, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

    INSTALLATION:

    Place in "PAYDAY3\PAYDAY3\Content\Paks\~mods" folder.

    Download PD3 Logic Mod Loader and place it in your ~mods too

    Requires "-fileopenlog" argument or UE4SS.
