It’s not even a last resort, since there would be absolutely no reason to do so

As much as IO in your world loves taking down mods with extreme prejudice, including mods that let you kill Diana, mods that let you save multiple times and mods that add contracts mode, there are currently almost 600 mods for the game, none of which have been broken by IO’s mod-killing team for not supporting consoles. There’s also a server replacement which (optionally) gives you every item and lets you replay ETs which has zero support for consoles and has been publicly running since 2021.
Not sure about that disguise mod, but this mod makes NPCs completely blind, including enforcers, and mysteriously has not taken down by extremely prejudiced developers:
Mods are unofficial, I’m not sure how you’d want IOI to support hundreds upon hundreds of mods as DLC.
Your view on how the world works is flawed.
I just found out that while playing Illusions of Grandeur version of Mumbai you can get target to spawn in Rangan Tower despite the fact that you don’t have access to it in the mission.

It has come to my attention Sgail - Midday SHOWDOWN currently does not work. I intend to work on an update the next week that fixes this and a few other issues. Just been very busy (and sick) lately. If I have my shit together there might even be a new variant in there

1.3 - Fixes and Fortuna
Decided to try fix the bugs I could which have been slowly reported over the past few months. While I was there decided to make a Santa Fortuna variant based on a new ToD by @Kercyx (with tweaks by myself), and a couple other little tweaks to other variants that I won’t go into the details of here… got to leave some surprise
Changelog
- Mumbai: Illusions of Grandeur - fix Safes/Suppliers/Custom Targets/Couriers spawning in blocked off Rangan Tower (UNTESTED)
- Santa Fortuna: New variant - Night (Kercyx) + The Revolutionary + construction back at work + story targets dead + statue unveiled
- Santa Fortuna: Special Ass. - Adds ~8 more NPCs to target pool, combined with band playing variant, removes ~8 stationary band crowd NPCs from being targets, takes place after statue has been unveiled
- Chongqing: Noodle Massacre - Fix MILD target issues (Fixed last update but still unconfirmed)
- Paris: ETs - Adds more MILD targets, including ETs themselves (Dunno why I hesitated to make them targets in first place)
- Sgail: Hantu Port - Fix MILD target issues? (Untested)
- Sgail: Midday - Fix showdown version not working properly
- Various season 1 ET variants: Minor tweaks
tl;dr: Think I fixed a bunch of reported bugs, and Santa Fortuna now has way more/better variation
New unfixed issues, probably since game update:
- Music no longer plays on Marrakesh Sunset ETs variant (I have no idea why, I haven’t touched anything relating to this stuff in many months)
- For some reason Illusions of Grandeur crashed a couple times on my PC. Thought it was from loading the vanilla Alerted brick but… nope
You will require an update of your JSON file regardless of whether you want to play the new variant or not; use the variant picker website or re-download the Peacock/SDK file from Nexus to update it.

1.4 - Whittleton Overhaul
This took a lot longer than I was expecting, I thought I was just gonna add a sunset ToD + the Special Assignment to Whittelton Creek… but one by one I saw a bunch of things that irked me and could be changed/improved until I ended up spending a week making PZ-level map changes for Whittleton.
A sunset variant has been added and the ET has been moved to it, while the Special Ass has been moved to night time.
Changelist
Non-vanilla WC variants:
- The escort guards for story targets now have better scripts and don’t walk around the map yelling for their principles
- Many NPCs no longer stand frozen waiting for you to walk near and trigger their story dialogue, they now move on with their lives
- The Janus house has been renovated and is now occupied by a man and his wife in witness protection under FBI guard
WC Sunset:
- New Sunset ToD (copied from my Sunset Ambrose settings)
- The Serial Killer ET
WC Night:
- Most workers are gone
- No party on the Wilson property
- NPCs are inside their houses (This includes brand new NPCs)
- Spookier music
- ToD improvement: Lights are no longer so hazy (Bloom)
- ToD improvement: Soundscape of the map better reflects night time
- To make up for the reduced NPCs and undercover guards, almost all houses now have front and backyard cameras. You’re also not allowed in these people yards in any disguise, being the middle of the night.
- Spooki costume available on the map somewhere
Miscellaneous
- Paris: Holiday Hoarders - Removes broken chimney exits
- Paris: Holiday Hoarders - Now has the same NPC changes as Midday variant
- Marrakesh: Sunset ETs - Adds Wrath (Modified Mumbai) music until I can figure out how to bring regular Mumbai back
You will need to update your JSON from Nexus or the Variant Picker website if you want to play Whittleton Creek without crashes.

Whittleton Creek has always been my favorite map. Thank you for the hard work in creating this mod!

Let me know how the new variants go for you, particularly night

I think it looks great! The atmosphere is entirely different at night. It actually feels like a quieter neighborhood now.
There is a floating muffin where the lady loading the muffins into the van was outside the West house. I can’t walk through it and it has a prompt to pick up.

You absolutely amaze me with what you do to this game where i’m thinking now I want to build a pc to play this.

Just finished playing on night time Whittleton Creek. Not gonna lie, You did fantastic job at making map feel more ominous and uninviting. Reskinning Janus’ house with different colors of walls, floor and ceiling along with FBI really adds to overall experience. Also I like secret outfit (it made me “yell”) and old friend from Sapienza.
By the way, is there a chance to make some existing variants more different from their vanilla equivalents like Sunset Miami without crowds, race and commentators to give map a post-event vibe?

That’s really weird because I didn’t delete anything from there (apart from the lady). I only deleted props in Janus house, Wilson backyard and the muffin stand near spawn
Thank you for your kind words x
It’s possible but I don’t think I’ll be doing it at this stage. Unless I’m mistaken both Sunset and Night are post-race so I thought the announcer should shut up after announcing the winner and later saying they’re at the podium, and Night has the crowd of the stands removed. As for the crowd everywhere else, if I got rid of them I feel like there wouldn’t be many NPCs left, just a bunch of guards patrolling (would everywhere be a trespassing/hostile area?) and some staff cleaning/packing up. I dunno, not at the top of my list
What is on the potential list is:
- Modified Hawke’s Bay (Kercyx)
- Vanilla The Politician (Mild only)
- New York sunny midday + Stock crash + target dead [This will be the quickest so I’ll try it next]
- Vanilla (for now) Romania (Mild only. Just a proof of concept)

No idea, but the rest of the map is really, really good. I love the new atmosphere and the way you redid Janus’ house!
