Mafia II: Definitive Edition




Hi! Today I released new version of Friends for Life DLC for Mafia 2 Definitive Edition!
Update comes with many desired functions!

I tell you about it in this video:



What has been added?

MG42 weapon
Changing character model menu with 80 skins!
Languages support (English, Polish, Czech, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian)
Animations menu
Revamped menu on space key with save game in any moment function
Quicksilver Windsor Taxi in high detailed version

Installation:

Steam version:
Right click on Mafia 2 Definitive Edition game on steam game list, hover on manage tab and select Browse game files
It will open your game location folder, copy pc folder from mod archive and replace files.
If you had previous version of Friends for life I recommend deleting the old version first and start new game (new savegame) from friends for life menu.

Friends for Life DLC can be located in Additional content in main menu of the game.

Uninstall:

Delete cnt_friendsforlife folder from <<Your Mafia II Definitive Edition game directory>>\pc\dlcs

    Doesn't work, I just get an infinite loading screen when I tried to load it.

      I just checked it on clean steam game copy and it just works. Make sure you're running clean copy of Mafia 2 Definitive Edition and you haven't installed any other mods.

      You're lying or just completely messed up the installation process, because I literally just now reinstalled the game and installed the mod and everything works. As a proof here's the video:

      Do you have steam version of the game? You're sure that your game is Definitive Edition version? Lots of people complain that the mod doesn't work, and it turns out that they have the classic version of the game while the mod only works on the definitive edition and vice versa. The two games run independently and the saves for both games are independent. Both games require separate versions of mods.
      The reason for this may be also the corrupted zip file downloaded from nexusmods. Such things are beyond my control and are the fault of nexusmods directly or internet connection interrupted during the downloading process. In such a situation, it usually helps to download the file again.

      i can confirm i have both. and i primarily use the DE version of it. even made sure the files are the correct. which is why its fustrating that it doesnt work. ill try reinstalling it. but if that doesnt work. then i honestly dont know what to do. surprisingly enough all other mods by you works, which makes me think it might be something regarding one of the files might be acting up.

      and yes i use the steam version

      I am not able to help you. Above I showed a video where I install the mod on the steam version and everything works. I don't know what is wrong with your game and why mod doesn't work

      unsure as well. but it seems like its something regarding the loading of map and screen. as though i can somewhat be able to use a few things. i am stuck with the loading screen.

      do you think its something in the coding that prevents it from fully loading?

      Do you have any other mods installed? If so, uninstall them or try on a clean copy of the game. Friends for Life may not work with other mods and I will not adjust the mod to make compatibility with other mods.
      You can also try to remove all savegames.

      do you think its something in the coding that prevents it from fully loading?


      Impossible. The only thing I can think of is patches files - so either they are missing or conflict with something.
      Game saves can also be a problem, M2DE is notorious for incompatible saves and they're fragile.

      i see. can you check if its missing files?

      as for the other mods. yes. but they were uninstalled when i tried a clean save. which made it infuriating. so i cant really blame other mods as they were uninstalled or installed afterwards.

      i will try to remove save games

      I downloaded the mod again from nexusmods and installed it on a clean copy of the game with the "Mafia II Definitive Edition" folder removed from "My games" folder in Documents (deleted save games). Also, after uninstalling the game via the steam app (during reinstallation of clean copy), I went to the library and removed all leftovers from the previous installation.
      I also downloaded some car mods along with the wheel pack and everything works smoothly.
      I checked and all patch files are included. I'm not going to investigate this further, it works on my end and many other players, otherwise there wouldn't be so many downloads or recommendations. If you really want to play Friends for Life, just download the classic version of the game along with Friends for Life for Mafia 2 classic.

    Big thanks to update and upload the great mod!! And there's one more content that should be added in this mod, which is to add all clothes of all colors for Vito, Joe and Jimmy. I remember that Friends for life dlc of Mafia II (classic version) has included this content, so could it be achieved in Mafia II: Definitive Edition as well? It would be perfect if it can be done.

    Is there any way to change/remove the menu key bind for the controller? Whenever I am holding the LB button to sprint, it randomly opens the mod menu. Other than that, I love this mod.

      thats intended? i just reinstalled my entire game. That menu prompt coming up every 2 seconds makes the game unplayable.

    1940s Snow is really really really bright for some reason. The snow is super white and almost as if it has the 1950s sunlight. Completely different compared to the Storymode 1940s.

    Can't get it to work. Just shows a black screen even though the options show up when you press space.
