Hi there! Just a heads up you don't need to re-pack the entire resources.pak, I worked on the game and we have a setup for installing mods, it's a bit more involved but means you don't need to include the contents of resources.pak (which is a really bad idea). Basically, there's a file called thingconfig.txt in your <C:\Users\<Username>\Saved Games\Nightdive Studios\The Thing> folder that contains a bunch of options for the game, at the bottom, you can add a line with
"ResourceDir" = "YourModName"
Then if you have a folder with that name next to the game's exe, it will automatically load the contents of that folder, overwriting what's in resources.pak. You can also use a store .pak file if you want, just need to specify .pak after the ResourceDir too. You can add multiple dirs by separating them with ; There's a couple other mods that do this on Nexus too, there's also a modding help channel in the Nightdive Discord.
What tools did you to create the sound mod [EDIT] nevermind, figured it out quickly [EDIT] nevermind again I thought I did. but it didn't work out as planned since it crashed the game
I wonder if anyone has thought of a music mod adding some of the sound tracks from the movie as ambient background music in the game. I feel like it's missing good background music.

Any chance you will release a mod version instead of the whole .pak file?
