Woah Thanks ! I was planning on modified this mod to my preferences but you've save me a lot of time ! Just need to redo the Browning HP and find how to get a better camera in ADS (I would like a "over the shoulder" cam style like in the recent RE games) if someone can help me with that it would be awesome :)
@Seikyrim - You might need to ask another modder to do that since noobmodder12 isn't as active anymore. I honestly got lucky that I managed to get his / her help on this. Just saying.
Go ask the modders that somehow modified the camera in-game, whether its the vehicle camera or the camera on foot. I think zalteredbeastz (modder of Project realism - Lost Heaven - https://www.nexusmods.com/mafiadefinitiveedition/mods/5 ) did the better ADS camera thing that you want in his / her mod. He / She might give you a good idea on what file you should modify. I dunno about the Browning HP since only noobmodder12 has managed to do that.
@Seikyrim - Hey again. I was digging through the game files the other day and I think the files that involve the ADS camera are inside the tables.sds file. Go and unpack the tables.sds file via Mafia Toolkit and check it out for yourself.
As for the Browning HP, go ask noobmodder12 to do it for you since he / she has just updated this Gameplay Overhaul mod (though it doesn't mention anywhere what the new changes / updates are for some reason.).
Thank you for the compilation. I just removed the gui mods because I am using an Xbox controller. Seems to work very well, I also went ahead and added the 4k story and side characters mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/mafiadefinitiveedition/mods/135) on top of this as well and all is tip top.
@Cruush - Glad to hear it, but I hope you didn't just delete the "shared_gui.sds", "pregame_gui.sds", & "ingame_gui.sds" from the mod files since those files contain some of the features from other mods like the Better Reticles and the UI display for the car brand logos for the cars from Tommy - The Car Enthusiast mod. I hope you actually used the Mafia Toolkit and opened up the "ingame_gui.sds" file (which is the only file changed by the Playstation Icons mod) and replace only the files that involve the Playstation Icons mod with the default vanilla version (since the game uses the Xbox UI controls by default when you use a controller).
If you did the latter, then all of the mods will work fine for you. I can guarantee you that. If you did the former, download the mod compilation again and use Mafia Toolkit to open up the "ingame_gui.sds" file and find the file/s in it that changes the icons to Playstation UI and replace them with the vanilla one. You have to get a copy of the vanilla and unmodded "ingame_gui.sds" file and get the vanilla files from there in order to replace those same files inside the modded "ingame_gui.sds" file.
I like your attempt, but I'm sorry but with this mod, some missions become straight impossible, especially in Free Ride where you just get one shot from any gun, you can make things challenging without making it straight up impossible, was disappointed too considering I thought you did a fantastic job with your Mafia 3 mod.
Maybe add more resistance to yourself in car chases, so you're not getting one tapped by a guy that is far away in a car? Because that happens a lot as well and it is annoying.
does someone have a file that i could just download to make the controller GUI back into Xbox controls? i am not sure how to do it myself, i am a caveman banging rocks when it comes to these things
I was playing on classic difficulty but it made no sense to me why I was so weak and my enemies were so strong. This is the perfect sense of balance. Both myself and the enemies are balanced enough to where I have to be careful when I'm taking fire and where they can't tank 5-6 shots from a revolver.

Appreciate that information either way though. Great to know more about modding Mafia
I want to be able to turn the mission text off with full HUD if possible.

Thanks for fixing the game!
