About this mod
Snowbound is a full game overhaul focused on fast paced, fluid combat. Experience BL2 as an old school run-and-gun style shooter with fundamental changes to movement and gunplay. Featuring 70+ brand new items, reworked uniques, dark magic elemental, more chests, tougher bosses, hybrids, and tons more. Did I mention rocket jumping?

Install Instructions:
1 - Install the Python SDK for BL2.
Follow this guide here for more info: https://bl-sdk.github.io/
2 - In this zip file, you will find five included mod folders: Snowbound, SlidingSB, coroutines, tweens, and uemath.
The main mod is Snowbound. SlidingSB is a modified version of the Sliding mod. Coroutines, Tweens, and UE Math are dependency mods that Sliding needs to run.
Install all folders into your game's Mods folder.
For Windows users on Steam, it will be located here: Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Borderlands 2\Binaries\Win32\Mods
If you already have Coroutines 1.1, Tweens 1.1, and UE Math 1.4, or any future version of these installed, you do not need to replace them.
3 - Ensure that cutscenes are enabled.
This is necessary to allow Constructor to generate new objects.
You may not need to do anything for this step, especially if you have not previously modified your game.
You can check this in a couple of ways:
- In OpenBLCMM, open the Tools menu, then select Setup Game Files for Mods. Make sure Fewer Cutscenes is inactive.
- Or, in WillowEngine.ini (in Documents\My Games\Borderlands 2\WillowGame\Config), make sure bForceNoMovies=FALSE.
- Also, make sure you are not using the -NoMovies launch option on Steam.
The mod will attempt to notify you ingame if one of these settings is incorrectly set.
Note that this mod still skips cutscenes automatically.
4 - Enable the mods ingame in the Mods menu.
Once you enable Snowbound and Sliding (Snowbound Version) for the first time, they will automatically enable again every time the game is launched.
The dependency mod Coroutines, Tweens, and UE Math Library are always enabled.
5 - Verify the mod is running.
Go to the challenges tab ingame. If you see yellow text at the bottom that says "Running SB + UCP", then you are all set.
If not, see the Known Issues section of the Readme file.
Optional - Install Sanity Saver.
Sanity Saver is useful for preventing item loss when loading a character without the mod active, and is highly recommended.
Download Sanity Saver here: https://bl-sdk.github.io/mods/SanitySaver/
Optional - Check the optionals in OpenBLCMM.
In the Snowbound/Source folder, opening the SB.blcm file with OpenBLCMM will show optional categories that you can configure.
Expand the category and select from the available options.
Download OpenBLCMM here: https://github.com/BLCM/OpenBLCMM/releases
Notes:
- This mod assumes you have all main DLCs installed (besides cosmetic DLCs or UHD texture pack), not having certain DLCs may cause unintended behavior.
- To disable, toggle Snowbound and Sliding in the in-game mod menu, then restart your game (the other dependencies can be left enabled with no effect to your game).
- Compatibility with other mods is not guaranteed and may cause unintended behaviors. Do not use the original Sliding mod with Snowbound.
- To add other text mods to run alongside Snowbound, open SB.blcm in OpenBLCMM and click File > Import Mod Files.
- If you are having troubles with installation, please visit the BL2 Mods Support Discord: https://discord.gg/YjyQMFwE
