I wish I could pay double or triple the price of the game just to play it again not knowing all the secrets, tricks, and story that I know now having played it through twice already. This game is just about as close to perfect as one could make and I there are only a couple games out there that scratch the itch, much less doing it as good as Prey did.
I hope I'm not blowing up my own spot here or pointiing out something people have already discovered, but I somehow got (most of) my mods running on my official IOI account. I did some Google searching and found absolutely nothing about this so I was wanting any confirmations of other people doing this or not and any potential explanations.
I was running a modded hitman on peacock and wanted to go back to my main account to make progress on location mastery. Imagine my surprise when I loaded into the game and my mods were still active. This was all completely by accident. I wasn't trying to break the game or find a loophole. I just tried to load into my game and it happened.
Here is what I did:
Standard mod setup with peacock and SMF
Played some and made a save file.
Closed the game and peacock
Booted back into the game on my official account.
Tried to load save file from my modded instance (didn't work obviously)
Start new level (noticed the ToD pictures were still up for locations)
Plan mission (with additional gear from extra load out slot mod)
Started playing and everything was still active (except the ones that added content like Hantu Port or Noodle Massacre)
This was all origianally on my epic install as it is what I got before hitman came to steam. Got a steam copy earlier this week so I could play on my steamdeck. I replicated these steps and got the same result. Restarted my computer and ran hitman again having not booted peacock at all. Still worked.
Again I have no idea how this happened and I do not know how to undo it frankly but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth. I was curious if anyone else had this happen or could try and see if it worked as well. This was so easy to just fall ass backwards into that I was surprised I hadn't seen anything about it elsewhere. If anyone else has similar experiences or explanations I am all ears. Thank you.
