After banging my head against it for a while, here is how I was able to get this working in the current version of the game, using the latest version of the mod (1.1):
Backup and patch packagedefinitions.txt using the online tool listed in the description.
Run Install or Update.bat from \Runtime\Framework\
Move the newly created .rpkg file from \Runtime\ out of the Hitman 3 folder to a place you will be able to find it. Mine was named chunk0patch100.rpkg but yours may vary. This is the file you will use to install Offline Scoring.
Start Quickmod, making sure it's pointing correctly to your Hitman 3 folder. Note that while the Quickmod page says it's discontinued, it's successor Simple Mod Framework may not work right with this particular mod. I haven't done much testing on that, though.
Import the Offline Scoring .rpkg you moved to the side earlier and enable it in Quickmod.
Import either the .rpkg in the folder named All or Just ETs, depending on what you want, via Quickmod and enable it.
Optionally, Import the .rpkg in the EXTRAS folder into Quickmod and enable it.
Click Deploy Mods in Quickmod.
That should cover installation. As for launching the game, I was not able to start Hitman 3 via Epic Games with the game blocked from the internet. If that occurs this is what I did to make it work:
Start Hitman 3 with internet access
Wait until you see the ioi logo, and block Hitman in your firewall
Start Offline
The description suggests that you can opt out of the privacy policy to start offline, but I wanted to avoid that entirely. I use TinyWall as a firewall controller, which blocks everything by default, which in this case made it easy to just turn on or off depending on what I needed. Something potentially easier is following these steps, but I haven't tried that.
For reference, here's a screenshot of the load order of my Quickmod. But it should be in the correct order if you followed my steps.
EDIT: NexusMods is doing something really funky with the formatting of this post. Hopefully it is now legible.
Thanks for an update and cool description for Brothers! Strange, but Brothers works only with single Offline Elusives mod, or Offline Elusives+Offline Scoring+All targets. If I want Offline Scoring only for Brothers (without this mod) it crashes. Can you check?
Also there is no fresh Mendoza ET if I switch to All targets ET only. With All targets it is there
If your referring to the new ET only being included in the all targets bundle this is because it is currently the only et for that map so there is no other et to include with it in the et only bundle .
Unless I am misunderstanding you.
As for the brothers if I'm understanding right your saying it works with this mod but if you follow instructions with just offline ets it crashes?
If so this may be due to the author not removing the _title from the .json for the brothers if this is not what your referring to I'm not understanding
Wow, this mod is cool, I have been playing for a quite time, but there is not so important question - is there a chance to restore unused "The Brothers" ET, I've heard in Hitman modding discord server that deletion list can be edited somehow? Also, good luck in the future works!
Thats beyond my knowledge I tried to get them to work but it says cant confirm ownership or what ever it says on the offline elusive so I am assuming it has something to do with editing a file that may also be able to allow people to give them selves things they don't own but idk I'll def look into it, if its not something that could be used for illegally obtaining other crap I might implement it.
Well thanks to some help from the moding community The Brothers can indeed be accessed and it only utilizes files within the game nothing sketchy.
The process is more involved than dragging and dropping but I will add a .txt file with instruction in the next update that gives a step by step on how to get them to work.
Neat mod! Looking forward to the completion. There does seem to bee a lot to sort out with compatibility but I assume you're taking all of that into account and excluding/separating the one's that cause problems.
I've installed V1 and in the Elusive Target list I'm getting the Showstoppers mission twice. One with the Santa suit image, and one with the image from the campaign mission for Showstoppers. I have both the required mods as well and have them loading before this one.
That isn't an accident I just need to adjust the display info for the second one to use Holiday Hoarders instead of Show Stopper text if you launch into the levels the 1st one should launch you into the original Paris while the holiday hoarders picture one should launch you into the holiday map.
I haven't run this with too many other mods but as long as the other mods are not also modifying the files created by offline elusives they should be compatible with this mod.
Most likely any issues of x mission showing up is some kind of screw up on my part missing a comma somewhere during an update or something. I'm trying to catch these issues as I go it's been a lot more work than I expected and I have come to have a lot more respect for people who make mods for fun this was a side thing I did on a whim with no prior knowledge or experience so there has been a lot of trial and error hence why it's taken so many days just to get to almost finishing season 1 maps.
As long as you have the prerequisites there shouldn't be any place holders anymore unless I over looked something. All ets for 2 onward should still launch you to their normal et contract as the offline elusive mod intends
Really cool mod. It adds a lot of different options and routes to take. Once you know how to do the normal mission targets and ETs it becomes clockwork but this adds so many new layers. I will note with v2 of the mod I'm still getting a placeholder slot under Marrakesh. Not sure about v1.
Wow, this mod is looking amazing now! Shame that Andrea Martinez and the new zealand targets dont play nice. Doesn't andrea martinez spawn on The Revolutionary?
I'm not sure. I didn't really get much time to play the levels instead would just have targets visible during testing and when the revolutionary was present she was not. I'm super new to modding especially Hitman so this was a lot of trial and error. I am sure someone who has more knowledge could edit the bricks and actually fix a lot of compatibility issue. This mod is basically just running the bricks at the same time and hoping it works.
Really looking forward to seeing this done. The Icon will definitely be needed to just be by itself. Landslide only has abiatti so. Hokkaido snow festival might be difficult because from my experience Erich Soders literally cant be killed on it. Are patient zero versions of maps planned to be added too?
I'm planning to do every level. I honestly was really hoping to get s1 done today but it has taken longer than I expected to be fair s1 does contain the most. I am updating Sapienza right now to work with every target it lets on each version of the map and I will push an update then I'll need to sleep lol

Can you unlock the suits with this mod?
Thanks
Edit: SO it appears only the all target options don't appear. If I use ET only, it works perfectly fine.
