How to Mod Dragon's Dogma 2: Fluffy Mod Manager, REFramework, and Mods

I'm going to teach you how to mod Dragons Dogma 2 and what's really cool is this is going to apply to other Capcom games like Street Fighter 6 and the Resident Evil series especially the new modern ones before we jump into it I'm Ward and this is the easy mode Channel you may know me from the tech Syndicate Channel my goal is to focus more on this and game development because that's what I want to do with my wife I want to make games and play games and make music speaking of that this video is brought to you by the products that we make over here on Epic pants.com we've got half price on the keyboard half price on these mice so head over to Epic pants.com and all the music in this video was composed by me so if you like the stuff you're hearing stuff that's inspired by old school RPGs and whatnot you can head over to band camp there's a link in the description and check out this music so anything that happens on this channel is going to support game development just so you know let's hop in and start modding fair warning when we get into this game there's a a lot of butts in this game because it's a Capcom game and uh you can be Barbarians in the purest sense of run around half naked and I like it so deal the the reason it's so easy to mod this is because of the fluffy mod manager so that's the first thing we're going to do just head over to the nexusmods.com dragonsdogma all these links are in the description the first thing we want is the fluffy mod manager now you're going to need an account to install any of this stuff so go ahead and set up yourself an account we're going to assume that you have that we have all these tabs that's the layout here's the description and the description will always tell you well almost always if they're a good mod maker they'll tell you exactly what to do and how to you know how how to use this and they'll tell you if they know of any incompatibility or whatever and then we have the file section that's where you want to go now just manually download this and then click on the slow download there we go slow downloads all right open up that folder now this is opening up in seven zip here if you have something else to open it like winr or whatever you do you but I've got szip this doesn't install like a normal program you just drag and drop it to a folder so I'm going to create a folder in my games directory I already have a copy of it there but we're going to drop it in there anyway there we go replace just update everything and when you first open mod manager it's going to ask you to select your game so you just go through the list here and pick whatever game see this is going to work on a lot of different games and giving you a lot of knowledge here so go ahead and pick the one that's for you there we go Dragon's doent 2 now as soon as you do that I'm going to minimize this again take a look at this folder now we have a games folder right here inside the games folder we have Dragons Dogma 2 if you've got Street Fighter or the Resident Evil games or whatever those are all going to show up right here but Dragons Dogma 2 and then we have a folder called mods now this is where we're going to put all of our mods now it's time to come over here and download some mods and there's a couple different types of mods that we can download now there are just the regular mods that you just throw in the the folder and then activate and then there's other mods that are scripts so I'll show you how to do the two different types and then you'll be able to pretty much install anything if you're running a an Nvidia card this new dlss update is really handy it's newer than the version that comes in the game I'm going to download the Nvidia dlss 3.7 so let that download I'm just going to download a few things right now item tweaks I really like because this allows you to set the weight to zero and if you're someone like like me who likes to explore and just collect a ton of stuff and not worry about like always every 5 Seconds being over encumbered then there you go this is a single player game it's not cheating come on now so if you want a little bit better of a HUD well we can we can do that this is the vanilla hey look like a smaller that's nice and if you want to put it over there some people like it up here they like their their map on the top right we can grab this and also if you've got an ultra wide monitor there's a version for you as well see like right now when you're playing on Ultra wide it's really annoying because the all the stuff's crammed into the middle of the screen this mod does what the game should have done in the beginning by the way a lot of these mods that's kind of the thing here a lot of these mods are making the game kind of the way it should have been microtransactions yay so this is just undoing a lot of the terrible decisions that were probably forced on the developers by the higher ups because the higher-ups have no idea what they're doing at Capcom but the developers do teleport anywhere without buying any DLC see what I'm talking about just downloading a few you can download anything you want and this is really annoying you know your ponds are always wandering into the brine why and why does the water always kill you in these games come on figured that would be updated but no all right so let's just download that this one's interesting it marks important NPCs because a lot of times you're running around and you don't know who you need to talk to this puts a name above the important NPC's heads I'm going to download this I turn it on and off depending on the situation if I can't find someone I need to talk to I'll turn that on and be like there they are and uh yeah I got sick of hearing about these ladders so let's download shut up pawns and you can download anything you like I'm going to go through this a little bit faster here this is uh probably my favorite mod Mouse wheel camera distance if you're h on a PC and you're using a mouse it just makes sense to be able to scroll your mouse and then zoom in and zoom out so definitely downloading this one there's a couple other camera tweaks that are specifically for like using a mouse and keyboard and I'll put those in the description I'm not going to show you in this video because you know once you download a few things you'll get the idea and then it'll be cool so this one I like it makes the masquerade gowns a lot cooler and you know you can wear these outside of the Masquerade when it comes to the script mods I love transmi now this is something that's default in Street Fighter you can wear one set of armor and you'll have the stats of that and then you have a second set of armor that you wear purely for Aesthetics so that you can make your character look one way while benefiting from the stats of the higher armor that you've picked up this just allows you to say like okay I'm wearing this shirt well let's make it look like this other piece of armor and you can just set it up that way it's very easy to do so transmog ay is something that I always like to see in my RPGs when you click on download it'll tell you what it you know requires it says it requires the re framework and I'm going to download this toolkit right here and this allows you to hide different elements and whatnot but it does a few different things so yeah we'll go ahead and download that and again all these are going to be in the description and this is a weapon transmog you got all these different things I like to hide the shields on the back because I like seeing the back because butts so I'm going to download the one that makes the fighter shield invisible on their back when they pull it out it's obviously visible and then one thing that's weird is whenever you have a shield it changes the look of the armor I download this because whenever you hide the shield on the back it also hides the gloves but this mod fixes that I'm going to download this to teleportation mod yes that way you can teleport this is amazing amazing download it it also requires something called Script core so whenever you see something that says oh it requires something else you just middle click on that it'll open it up over here so download that slow download and come over here it says script core we just need to download this and install it no big deal and the last really important API that we're going to need is this one the XY Z API go ahead and download that and just get all that into your mod folder and then the last mod I'm going to download is something that you have to install separately it's a stutter fixer it's really goofy and simple it's just a registry hack what this does is it installs a little registry key in Windows to tell Windows to always run Dragon's Dogma 2 in high priority mode which will actually remove a lot of the stuttering I couldn't believe it I was like what this makes the game Run much smoother now in order to take advantage of that you do have to reboot your computer all right so we got a bunch of stuff downloaded right so I'm going to grab everything except for that stutter fixer we don't need to grab that one but I'm going to grab everything that we just downloaded and I'm going to drag and drop it into that mods folder in in the fluffy mod manager and then we can even launch the game from inside here but once you turn these on you can use the steam launcher if you want to you can launch the game any way you want to launch it whenever you see this little plus symbol right here that means that if you click on it there are multiple different options uh I don't like to cheat that much so I'm going to make my weight zero but I don't want to do the gold cost one that'll make you all the stuff cost one gold and that kind of breaks the game for me it's no fun anymore like it's it removes too much of the essence of the game all right need this toolbox here symmetrical armor and the transmog so we got all these things installed now we can launch our game from here or it doesn't matter we can come back over here to steam and click on play R framework handles scripting so it's not just texture replacers and stuff this is like actually doing things to the game and there's our little toolbox we'll get into the game here all right so this is not the system that I play this on so it's going to look ugly by pressing the insert button we can bring up our re framework over here and you can see we have different things here just about configure this is our menu key and it's set to the insert I'm going to click on remember menu open and close state so that way when you open up the game again if you had this closed well it'll open up and then it'll close itself now this is cool with camera we can enable this get rid of our vignette on the side so that's an option I turn on on mine but I use reshade to add back in a vignette but this is all up to you you can enable the vignette or you can just make it a little less severe I think it's kind of severe in this game so and we can change our fov I like about uh 90 feels like a PC game now we also can scroll in and out with our Mouse cuz we have that installed all right so that's what I do with the camera moving on down we have our Graphics section if you have Ultra wide you can turn these on but I don't need to worry about that check this out hide the GUI I set up a hotkey for this so I'm going to use number pad five really nice for screenshots but I also like this when I'm just like you know running around in the world these dumb blue dots over people we'll get rid of those in just a second next we have the free cam let's set up a toggle key for that I'm going to use number pad nine oh god that's way too violently fast to press nine again so I need to change the sensitivity of the free cam so there's my toggle key I set that and then over here the rotation speed bringing that way down Bringing Down the speeds okay I can handle this also moving my character but we we'll figure that out just a second so there's something cool you can do below that you're going to see that we have scene tools now this allows us to change our time scale so check this out if I bring the time scale really far down let's go not to the negatives you know it'll break the game if you go into the negatives so that's as low as I can pretty much get it right here almost uh let's see and I'm going to set a a key toggle for the time scale you can set any key toggle you like come using number pad three all right let's run and then toggle slow-mo all right cool God this looks hideous on this machine but you get the idea oh no no negative will break the game well what look what I've done oh God did I just land that oh yes I landed that do not go into the negatives I warned my myself but I didn't listen all right well maybe you want it to go a little bit slower so I'll show you how to make it go even slower but we have to go back out of the game for that all right let's go into our game folder in order to get there the easiest way just to head over to steam click on the Cog on the right click on manage and click on browse local files you want the re framework config re2 framework config right there you can you know edit everything from in here this is all your stuff I'm specifically looking for that time scale on my scene so come down to scene and there's our time scale let's make it I don't know four zeros there we go and then I'll make this last one of five that's going to be nice and slow save that and it's I can't I wish I could type it in you know manually in the actual game but whatever run run run and slowmo oh yes this is so slow free cam let's see how slow we're going so if you want to like Freeze Frame and hold a position this might be even too slow if you're trying to like you can toggle on and off why does this game have that much boob shake what the hell what's going on in Japan you get the idea look at that slow-mo that is [Music] amazing so these are all the scripts that we've downloaded and all the ones that came with it you can ignore the the VR stuff it's just whatever you can turn it on and off if you want to but right here we have paon survive brine the toolboxes and all that the stuff down here so this toolbox that we downloaded let's see here I can I can hide my helmet now we can see that cool hair do I've got hide the top whatever hide the hair great shenado Connor running around so yeah you can do all that kind of stuff no script errors yet if you ever get script errors you can come back up here and reset your scripts and then down at the bottom there are script generated UI now these are the different user interfaces for your script and here's your minimum maximum camera distance way out let's get really close now we can zoom way out H bumping into the scenery and zoom way back in and you know you get the idea it works shut up pawns we have a list of things they say there's a ladder so block it just basically makes the pawn stop talking about ladders that's all it really does all right Mark important NPCs show Circle no I want to show their names that's it there's our Pawn surviv brine I like them to warp to the player cuz sometimes they warp somewhere else and fall back in the brine so Pawn survive brine when they go jump in the brine they'll just warp to you and then down here this is our teleportation check this out locations um let's go to burnworth teleport just give it a second Watch What Happens and here we all are let me get rid of push insert to get rid of that and here we are in verw worth finally have a functional fast travel normally I don't like fast travel in my games because I really enjoy going from point A to point B and getting into a ton of shenanigans but I feel like this world was designed to make you angry enough to buy the stupid fast travel tokens or whatever they are because you know there's some areas that are kind of open like this but a lot of the areas feel like you're just going through a narrow Corridor to get to point A to point B and all that so I really like that you can just push control T to bring up your fast travel menu if you want and then you have all the F Keys here okay I want to go to let's see where should I go let's go to bakal there we go off we go this is going to save me a lot of time and now we're here you just go down to the bottom here you'll see trans mify scroll down we can click and make this a little bit bit bigger here all right so check this out what have I got on here I've got on the Rangers thing sometimes it's easier to hit escape and then click on equipment or whatever where is equipment click on equipment and then I'm going to see what I'm wearing right now which is I'm wearing the Rangers vest so come over here to this thing I'll show you how to do like one or two things and you'll get the idea so I'm going to click on body and this is called the Rangers so Rangers rangers vest there it is so select Rangers vest and now we can transfer this into something else so I like the half plate let's see how that looks and this can be anything regardless of class enable transmogs of course you got to check mark that or else it's not going to work and then hit submit and what that does is it adds one thing to your transmog list and check it out I'm now wearing half plate looks really cool let's transmog something else you want to make her uh there we go make her pants look stupid so I've got the what is this thing called The Blessed waist cloth so let's change that one that would be on leg and it's called blessed there it is blessed waist cloth there it is the Blessed waist cloth now let's change that to something what do you want to do uh how about uh what's good savant's boots all right now I'm running around with my butt out so now I am using the appearance of this butt thing here whatever it's called I forgot then I also have the half plate on top so I look cool and let's say you know what I want to wear this thing I you know maybe I want to hide this for now so let's just uh let's hide this and that's going to be a mantle there we go now we can run around have fun uh without no clothes on if you want want to slay dragons naked you do it if you want to be a 400 lb person naked slaying dragons do it you'll be the first lar Barian and I will support you by all means all right so that works just fine that's how you get everything modded oh she is tired Lord have mercy there's also some tweaks to remove stamina drain because having stamina drain when you're not in combat is just tedious and bad game design in my opinion why would they do that I don't know like I like stamina drain in combat it makes for you know some tactical gameplay but stamina drain right now no no no no so yeah you can turn that off to just grab a stamina mod or whatever you can install any mods you like now that you know how so now you know how to mod Capcom games especially Dragon stock 2 once it clicks and you understand how the re framework works and you understand how fluffy mod manager works the world is open to you and you can install anything you like and just note that you know every now and then there's going to be an update to the game so if some mod break here and there you might want to go and redownload them or download the newest versions this is a bigger deal when it comes to games like Street Fighter that are updating core characters a lot these you know main characters mods that work in the open world version of that game will be just fine but sometimes your mods for the different characters are going to break because they make changes I found that in Dragon's Dogma that's not such a big deal because you create your own character and they're not making changes to any core characters in the game so it's these mods tend to work a little bit better in my op opinion but I feel like now that we have these mods we can craft the game uh into what it should have been which is kind of what we do with Bethesda games now we're doing it with Capcom games I mean you got to you got to do something to compensate for the greed and and weird design choices but you can make it awesome run around naked slaying I don't know ogres and stuff so enjoy if you have any questions put them in the comments below I'll take a look and also don't forget to check out that music and epic pants.com I'll see you all in the comments thanks for watching [Music] [Laughter] e [Music] oh [Music] all
