.RAR files with the mods contained at the release link here: https://github.com/pmvogt/pd2-mods/releases/tag/mods
These are my mods. Contents of mods folder should go in common/PAYDAY 2/mods, except for the contents of the directory mod_overrides. That content needs to be placed in your PAYDAY 2/assets/mod_overrides directory, then you can delete the mod_overrides directory in here.
Like 80% of the mods work just fine together and in fact some of them are able to detect the prescence of one another, which prevents crashes.
But there are some configuration options that should still be set to prevent primarily the HUD mods conflicting.
To avoid conflicts with Better Assault Indicator and VoidUI go to Mod Options > VanillaHUD Plus and change the settings to:
- VanillaHUD Plus > General Hud Panels Options > Select HUD Type Vanilla
- VanillaHUD Plus > General Hud Panels Options > Uncheck Enable Enhanced Objectives Panel
- VanillaHUD Plus > General Hud Panels Options > Uncheck Use Real Ammo
- VanillaHUD Plus > General Hud Panels Options > Chat Options > Uncheck Custom Chat
- VanillaHUD Plus > General Hud Panels Options > Suspicion Options > Uncheck Enable Suspicion Options
- VanillaHUD Plus > General Hud Panels Options > Assault Banner Options > Uncheck Center Assault
- VanillaHUD Plus > Tabstats Options > uncheck Use Tabstats
- VanillaHUD Plus > Interaction Options > check Custom HUDS Support and Uncheck Show Remaining Time
- VanillaHUD Plus > HUD Info Options > Set Right List Offset to 70
- VanillaHUD Plus > HUD Info Options > Set Left List Offset to 170
- VanillaHUD Plus >General Hud Panels Options > Other HUD Options > Uncheck Colored Joker Outlines
- Go to BAI -> HUDList -> Uncheck Move HUDList option
Finally, play around with the layout some. HUD Info Options is a good place to start. Off the bat, I recommend going to the "Right info panel" and moving it's Y position down so as to not be covered by the Void UI Assault panel.
If you keep the Jokers Keepers Names mod, go to VoidUI Options and go to:
Labels & Waypoints > Enable Name Labels > Unchecked
This will remove VoidUI default name labels for converted cops, which would otherwise conflict with the custom Joker names.
Some of the timers may seem redundant with what VanillaHUD and VOID give you. After adjusting the settings for VanillaHUD above, enter a heist and test out what you have. I recommend a loud heist like Cook Off on normal mode or something, that will render many info boxes and timers.
HM Counter has Joy's Counter as a dependency. So you get redundant information from these two by default. Remove one, remove both, keep both if you want. I keep just the Hotline Miami counter and set it's location to the bottom right above the Player Panel (my ammo, health etc)
There are two more things I recommend, AFTER you've installed all of the mods from this repo (or most), but BEFORE you next play the game. One is pretty much mandatory, two is up to you.
- The "4GB patch" gives the Payday2 Windows executable more access to your machine's virtual memory. This is recommended all over the place in the PD2 mods community especially if you have a large amount of mod_override files. The executable found [https://ntcore.com/?page_id=371](at this page) will patch your PD2.exe or any other x86 executable you want to access more VRAM.
- Reshade is a generic .exe that greatly improves lighting, ambient occlusion, etc for many games. There are lots of presets out there for Payday2. I'm using the Scorbunny preset. It's a little dark and I'm not crazy about it, but there are many others: https://www.nexusmods.com/payday2/mods/151, https://www.nexusmods.com/payday2/mods/198, etc
Assume you need Beardlib and BLT installed in mods (NOT mod_overrides) for all of these to work.
- Adjusted Perk Descriptions
https://modworkshop.net/mod/35257
Perk deck descriptions from the game are fairly shitty, this improves them to better explain the benefits and drawbacks of each
- Anti Player State
https://modworkshop.net/mod/33580
Monitors and protects against state changes from the host. Basically an anti-crash/anti-grief mechanism
- Anti Stop the Cheater
https://modworkshop.net/mod/22560
Another anti-grief mechanism. Netiher of these are things that really have ever happened to me, so they might not really be necessary. I just figure why not hedge
- Anticrash
https://pd2mods.z77.fr/anticrash.html
3rd party (TdlQ is arguably the biggest modder in the pd2 scene, and the author of BLT) lua error handler. Extendable, for more complex error handling
- Ammo Break Invulnerability Effect
https://modworkshop.net/mod/33030
Renders a color overlay over the HUD when Anarchist's invulnerability effect kicks in. You don't need it if you don't use the Anarchist perk deck
- Auto-Discard parachute
https://pdmods-arc.berigora.net/paydaymods.com/mods/patchnotes/279/1/index.html
Birth of Sky heist has a parachute carryable that is easy to forget. It's a loud heist and you have to bag money at one point under fire. Protects against stoner brain reflex to forget.
- BeardLib
https://modworkshop.net/mod/14924
Dependency for virtually every mod
- Better Assault Indicator
https://modworkshop.net/mod/22712
Much better Assault wave indicator. Colorized for each part of the assault (control, assault, etc), customizable.
- Better Bots
https://modworkshop.net/mod/12736
Your AI teammates suck out of the box. This makes them good. Makes solo play at high difficulties in loud heists much more managable.
- Borderless Windowed Updated
https://modworkshop.net/mod/27683
Must have for dual monitors. Gives the game a "Fullscreen Windowed" option in Options > Display > Display Mode
- base
This is from SuperBLT. You should probably install SuperBLT manually (and beardlib) and not just paste it into mods from this repo, like you can with all the other mods. But honestly, that might not even matter.
- BuildDB
https://pd2mods.z77.fr/buildb.html
Adds the ability to save a custom build config file and import those builds to your skills tree on-demand.
- Carry Stacker Reloaded
https://github.com/enragedpixel/Carry-Stacker-Reloaded
Carry more than one bag at once, with a weight penalty (or not ;) ).
- ColorPicker
https://modworkshop.net/mod/29641
Dependency for several of these mods that let you choose custom colors. It's similar to MacOS or Windows color pickers
- CustomFOV
https://modworkshop.net/mod/20801
Turn FOV up to eleven
- Drag and Drop Inventory
https://pd2mods.z77.fr/drag_and_drop_inventory.html
It's great
- Extra Heist Info
https://modworkshop.net/mod/31915
Shows trackers in your HUD for remaining time, interactions, achievement progress, etc. Helpful but will overlap with VanillaHUD and Void UI out of the box. See "Setup" section above
- Extra Profiles & Skill Sets
https://modworkshop.net/mod/26702
More is always better!
- GoonMod's Custom Waypoints
https://pd2mods.z77.fr/goonmod_custom_waypoints.html
Lets you mark your own waypoints. Dependency for one of the bot improvement mods found here, also
- Hotline Miami Combo Counter
https://modworkshop.net/mod/30999
Animated score and kill counter
- Immersive Dodge Sounds
https://modworkshop.net/mod/35278
Makes a much better wooooosh noise when the dodge effect in your build kicks in and a bullet goes flying by. Woosh
- Intro Cinematics
https://modworkshop.net/mod/27164
Plays awesome cutscene-type angles of the heist map as the game loads in, replacing the loading screen. Not necessary but cool
- Iter
https://pd2mods.z77.fr/iter.html
Fixe the garbage NPC pathing in this game
- Joy's Score Counter
https://modworkshop.net/mod/24730
Dependency for Hotline Miami Combo Counter. I generally hide this one and just display the Hotline Miami counter. You can use either one, or neither if you don't want care about tracking kills and score functionality. Or both I guess if you wanted to. In stealth, kill and score counts don't matter, so make of that what you will.
- Keepers
https://pd2mods.z77.fr/keepers.html
Issue orders to AI/friendly NPCs. Plays really nicely with Better Bots. In the game options > mod keybinds, you can set hotkeys to make your AI team hold and follow.
- Less Inaccurate Weapon Laser
https://pd2mods.z77.fr/less_inaccurate_weapon_laser.html
Guess what this does?
- Map-based Optimizations
https://modworkshop.net/mod/30521
Perf improvements for most of the heists in the game
- Menu Backgrounds
https://modworkshop.net/mod/17160
Custom menu backgrounds. Comes with a few out of the gate, but ModWorkshop has a ton of options too. In this repo, all of the backgrounds I already downloaded can already be found in Menu Backgrounds/Assets. To set different backgrounds go to Mods > Mod Options > Menu Backgrounds.
- Meth Helper Updated
https://modworkshop.net/mod/25950
Automatically spits the next meth ingredient out into the chat, as a message from you (e.g. THE CJ CAR: Add Caustic Soda)
- More Paint Schemes
https://modworkshop.net/mod/36509
Adds a bunch more paint schemes in weapon mods. Schemes are the manner in which a skin is applied e.g. "Tactical", "Broken in", "Mint condition" etc
- No Concussion Tinnitus
https://modworkshop.net/mod/22127
Removes tinnitus effect (ear "ringing") effect when you get hit with a flashbang

- Keepers Jokers Names
https://modworkshop.net/mod/21416
Gives converted police a unique human name like "Greg", lol
- PECM Bug Fix
https://modworkshop.net/mod/32373
Fixes a bug where pocket ECM can crash your game. It's never happened to me before, but I installed this just in case, because I use Hacker consistently in Stealth. If you don't use Hacker at all this is worthless
- QuickKeyboardInput
https://pd2mods.z77.fr/quick_keyboard_input.html
Dependency for BuilDB
- Search Inventory
https://pd2mods.z77.fr/search_inventory.html
Query inventory view with string input

- The Fixes
https://modworkshop.net/mod/23732
Must-have fixes some bugs that exist in the game out of the box
- VanillaHUD Plus
https://modworkshop.net/mod/25629
This is the latest stable iteration of what was formerly called WolfHUD. Best HUD mod available to display in-game info.
- VoidUI
https://modworkshop.net/mod/20997
Greatly enhances readability and pretty-ness of menu and UI elements of the game. I love this one but it is a little opinionated. It can be replaced by HoloUI, among others, if you don't like it. HoloUI, similar to Void, has autodetection of other HUD mods built in. Check VanillaHUD's official mod page for compatability settings with HoloUI and other UI mods.
- VoidUI Hotline Miami Vibe
https://modworkshop.net/mod/36209
Beautiful color scheme for VoidUI

- Mute Dentist in Pre-planning "Let's put this boat in the water..." Let's not. Shut up, Gus Fring

- Payday Two Intro Replaces game launch intro with one from Yakuza game. Don't need it if you don't play the Yakuza games.

- Weapon Texture Reworks Makes weapons look better
