Hey everyone, any idea why I cannot deploy my mods?
Log
It looks like Lighting Ultimate - Landslide Vanilla + is incompatible with a mod
That shouldn’t be an issue, maybe the log isn’t displaying properly and it’s actually The Author LU option, which is a known incompatibility with Freelancer Variations. Turn them both off to be safe.
Also Chongqing LU option if you have that on. And if you still get an error then try GOTY version of The Vector Colorado instead of Vanilla+
That seems to be it, while I was trying to fix it, I saw your pinned post on freelancer variations which explained the incompatibilities with LU and after changing Colorado and Chongqing, everything worked fine and deployed correctly. Thanks!

Hi, I am fairly new to the modding community. I followed the instructions and tried to install a couple of mods. Then since the mods were not being deployed I decided to install only the Realistic AI one, but still even thought it is just one mod it keeps on giving me the Error Spawn wmic ENOENT
I have the game on Epic Games and the SMF is on the following directory:
A:\HITMAN3\Simple Mod Framework
I have been googling but nothing with my mistake pops up and no mod seems to be deployed.

Could you try going to the folder in Explorer, replacing the folder path at the top with cmd and pressing enter? It should launch the Command Prompt. Then, type Deploy --logLevel verbose --logLevel debug --logLevel info --logLevel warn --logLevel error and press enter and it should run the SMF deploy but giving more information before the error.

Hi sorry for the delay! I believe there may be a time difference! I did as you asked and the CMD threw back this log at me.
Thank you for your help

Could you try typing “environment variables” into the Start menu and opening the “Edit the system environment variables” option, then clicking Environment Variables in the bottom-right, scrolling to the “Path” option in the upper box, clicking Edit and then adding a new element with the text %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem?
In theory this should fix your deploy.

Yes! This did indeed work! Thank you so much for your help! I did not know about the Environment Variables at all

“Poorly designed” bruv its a 1:1 copy from the steam version, literally the same game design

It’s obviously not a 1:1 copy because that’s the whole reason SMF fails, it doesn’t detect a known copy based on the content of the files; if it was a 1:1 copy do you think the framework would be able to magically know it’s pirated?

Thank you for that amazing tool
@Atampy26 Hey would you be able to help with my SMF issue. I get an error I that I’m not seeing on this forum. I got an picture attached for ya.
This is why every tutorial tells you to use the Add a Mod button and not just arbitrarily extract files to the Mods folder.
Try again with the latest version on Nexus Mods.
So I tried downloading the newest version on nexus, so it should give an actual error and there it is, hopefully it will help.
For me it was when the installer just closes after a few seconds after opening it.
Thanks for the response. Got the latest version, and got to the screen where I click ‘install the framework’. It spun for a few secs, before closing itself. Now, when I open the installer, I get the following error;
I deleted Hitman 3, reinstalled it, and when I try to install “Simple Mod Framework” I get this message:
Welcome to the Simple Mod Framework!
It seems a critical error has occurred. Try restarting the installation process, or give Atampy26 the following error message on Hitman Forum (note that this does not say Nexus Mods).

@Atampy26 for me it doesnt work, its ben stuck on this
every time i open it, i tried to reinstall it, tried to verify hitman 3 game files, but no good, it doesnt work, any tips?
Hello! I’ve been trying to download the new version, but after a good 15-20 mins, the installer crashes.
I’ve tried restarting my computer and verifying my game files.
