Turning Horror Into Modified Fun
This Resident Evil 5 mod guide will walk you through obtaining some of the coolest mods out there as well as how to get them working so that you can take advantage of things like split-screen modes, brand new moves and weapons, as well as four-player versus and co-op.
The Benefits of Modding
For Resident Evil 5, I’ll just say that the mods open up all sorts of awesome possibilities depending on what you’re looking for out of your gameplay experience. Are you looking to enhance the multiplayer component? Bring a few new weapons along for the ride? Alter Chris and Sheeva’s outfits more to your liking? Maybe even add a new mode?
You might be surprised at what you can find.
Hitting the Right Places
Now, one way of avoiding dead-end websites is to simply click on the links below, each offering some unique and useful mods for the game:
This is File Planet’s mod section for Resident Evil 5. It only has two mods, but for those looking to enhance and/or alter the visual quality of Capcom’s action-horror title, then you’ll find a useful ENB Series mod available at File Planet. The ENB Series is an independent project consisting of graphics enhancements via shader manipulation. In other words, games that didn’t look so great before can look even better with realistic colors, shadows and sometimes lighting effects. Simply download the file and copy Dragon Nest Goldthe contents into your main Resident Evil 5 directory.
This website is a message board-based modding site that has all sorts of useful mods for Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5. You can find model conversions, skins, re-textures and even game modifying mods here, such as the four-player versus mod. Some of the mods you’ll definitely want to check out are located in the RE5 section under Mod Releases. Some of the most popular and easiest to install are the Cerebus RE5 Gun-Shack mods in the Reskin Modification sub-section. For the multiplayer mods, such as split-screen and four-player, simply head to the Other Modifications section and you’ll find the multiplayer mods with a sticky at the top of the page.
This site here has a ton of mods for all the Resident Evil games as well, some more or less than what you might be expecting. In order to access the mods you’ll need to register on the forum board first. After that, simply sign-in and scroll down to the Resident Evil mod section to scroll through the mods.
Installing Mods and Backing Up Your Info
If you’re going to install, for instance, the Nano-Suit BSAA Chris mod, you’ll need to extract the data into a directory. Copy the files from the directory – I usually keep all mod files in the download folder and extract each mod into its own sub directory – and paste them into the respective Resident Evil 5 installation directory. In this case, for the Nano-Suit mod, copy the NativePC directory and then head to the Resident Evil 5 installation path and then paste the folder into the directory (e.g., C:\program files\Resident Evil 5\NativePC).
You might want to make a separate directory for backup files and copy and paste the original files into the backup directory. and then if anything happens you can easily retrieve the data.
Top Mods to Check Out
The two most important mods, though, are the split-screen mod and the versus mode mod. To use split-screen you’ll need two USB controllers, such as two Xbox 360 or PS3 controllers; the mod doesn’t work with a keyboard and mouse combo. Simply download and extract the contents of the split-screen mod into the main folder of Resident Evil 5. Double click the icon to begin playing and presto! You can now play local-split screen story mode with another player.
Four-player versus mode pits two teams against each other or four people against continuous waves of NPCs. This mode can only be accessed after downloading and extracting the mod to the Resident Evil 5 directory. Simply double-click on the Versus.exe file and it will open up a new option in the play-menu with the mode “Versus” beneath “The Mercenaries” mode. You’ll have to unlock the characters again by earning points in this mode, but it’s well worth it.
