I can install this but it's not in the place it used to be with Peacock... 'Career > Elusive Targets > Hitman' (scroll all the way to the right). I even checked each one in that 'Elusive Targets' section carefully in 'Hitman' / 'Hitman 2' / 'Hitman 3' and nothing. but I do see it in 'Offline' mode at 'Destinations > Marrakesh' on right side. I am using the current newest The Brothers from Jan 16th 2025.
I installed The Brothers v1.0.5 using this... https://github.com/atampy25/simple-mod-framework/releases/download/2.33.25/Release.zip ; which is made for the current v3.220.2 from April 10th.
the directory structure setup like this, for example... C:\Games\Hitman\SMF\ (with that 'Release.zip' extracted to that 'SMF' folder)
I can apply other mods without issue (at least a couple of others I tried). this The Brothers mod used to work a while ago when I tried it (at 'Career > Elusive Targets > Hitman' (scroll all the way to the right)), say about a year ago, but no longer does except offline mode.
I tried it on Windows and Linux (on Steam and Epic versions of the game) and still the same result. is there a bug in this mod? ; I am just looking for someone else to confirm my results or deny with what I tested here.
"09 April 2025, 8:44AM Here is the general troubleshooting guide for this issue: Verify game files, remove all .rpkg files from the Runtime folder with a patch number above 4 (e.g. chunk0patch5.rpkg) for files starting with chunk0-27. Delete files with a patch number above 1 for chunk28/29. Also delete any files that do not start with chunk0-29 except for packagedefinition.txt. Then delete the cache folder (located in the SMF folder) and re-deploy. "
And I answered as follows:
"@Atampy26 THANK YOU very much. The problem is solved by deleting 2 files within /runtime The files were named "Retailpatch300.rpkg" and "Runtimepatch300.rpkg" I don't remember where they belong to. Anyway, after that everything is deployed successfully including The Brothers mod."
With the latest SMF(version 2.33.24) and the latest Hitman 3 "The brothers definitive edition" is no more to install and ends up with this:
thread '<unnamed>' panicked at src\lib.rs:34:22: called `Option::unwrap()` on a `None` value note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
Any idea what to do ????
And the same happens with the latest updates for game and SMF on April 10th. That means: The latest "The Brothers" mod cannot be installed !!!
Bit of a nitpicky thing, but there's two grammatical errors in negroni.locr.json.
"key. Opens utility room in Marrakesh marketplace.", should be "key. Opens the utility room in the Marrakesh marketplace.",
and
"Contains information about Crystal dawn connection to the Delgado Cartel." should be "Contains information about Crystal Dawn's connection to the Delgado Cartel."
Are there any known compatibility conflicts with this and other mods? This worked for me before but recently started crashing whenever I load this ET or this version of the map in Freelancer
EDIT: Nevermind, deleting my SMF cache and rebuilding everything seems to have fixed it. Leaving this post here in case anyone else runs into the same problem
Thanks so much for this mod! It's awesome being able to have as much official content for the game as possible. I do like most of the changes you made from the vanilla version, but I think having options for stuff like changing the BGM to the original would be a nice addition.
If I was regularly modding and had nothing on my plate then I'd consider it, but I'm trying to move out of modding and do something with my life, while finishing up some giant Hitman projects for the mate that helped me with some of my big projects over the years.
That's totally fair. What would I have to do to swap the music to Sapienza's for this mission? Is there a line in the code for what song to use, or do you need to actually replace a sound file?
I hope that there's an update that lets you see the targets in instinct on the mission version, essentially turning it into a bonus mission like Sarajevo Six or A Bitter Pill or something (My favorite type of content IO dropped in H3) and then the version in the Elusive Target menu can be the version without instinct? I know you don't like speed running Kevin but it would be a nice option.

I can find The Brothers in 'Career > Elusive Targets > hitman" at the very end to the right - NOT in Hitman3 !!
