Just thought I might point somethings out you missed. First off, the order of which you place mods is VERY IMPORTANT. I can't remember the exact mod order, but I'll update this once I check again. Second, make sure to enable One-Click install to download the mods with ease. It's in options. Third, extract the mod loader into your SA2 folder, pretty sure that it's necessary. That's it Edit: Mod Order will be coming when I remember, possibly sometime this week Edit 2: Ok, so I think I got the mod order, sorry about the wait. It should look like this: SA2 Render Fix SA2 Volume Controls Hedgepanel Cutscene Revamp Character Select Plus Smooth Wall Collisions The New Challengers Assets No Battle Mod Action Remap Oddity Patch Physics Improvement Sonic Adventure 2 Retranslated Disable Upgrade Models Dreamcast Characters Don't use any of the mods not included on this list, like No Model Tinting, they're pretty outdated.
Ah, you're right... I completely forgot to mention how to use the actual Mod Loader. I was just more focused on the actual Mods, I suppose. That's my mistake. I'll pin this comment in case people are confused about how to work the actual Mod Loader. Thanks, Xblade!
Of all those listed, switching the lightspeed dash so you don't accidentally bounce into an abyss (that happened on City Escape soooo many times...), maintaining speed when hitting a wall (looking at you Metal Harbor), and using any character on any stage are the ones that stand out to me the most, definitely great QoL improvements.
I actually didn’t know about some of these mods, thanks for making this video. Personally, I really enjoy the “no summersault” mod, which removes the summersault and replaces it with a spindash. It still keeps the properties of the summersault though, so you can spindash and still go below small gaps, which is notable because the “instant spindash” code in the mod loaded doesn’t do that. It’s pretty cool!
Where can I find this mod? I honestly feel there shouldn't have really been a "summersault" in the game to begin and instead have been spin attack (instantly roll into a ball while running) and spin dash (stopping to rev up speed before rolling)
Uhhhh, I don’t remember. I think I just googled “no summersault mod” or something along those lines and I downloaded it off of someone’s github page. If you still need help I can probably help ya some more with that, but i’m kinds busy so sorry if I don’t respond immediately
Render Fix now exists and should be added to the list. I made a mod for the game. Subtitle Fixing. It fixes the typos and oddities in the subtitles during Story Mode. 3:54 Actually, it's 98% of fixes. 2 oddities still happen even with the mods, but it's easy to shrug them off. 5:08 I wouldn't suggest this mod, it's broken.
True theres also a hint retranslation mods that fix the hints in knukles and rouge levels theres also a mod for the mechs called the vulcan cannon mod this mod males it so that the vulcan cannon and the lazer reticle are both on seperate buttons so you can shoot the vulcan cannon in eternal engine for example and dont have to worry about using the lazer reticle
Great video really helped but I can't seem to get the level oddity patch mod to work. Always says "there's a mod.ini" I'm not too knowledgeable on modding or files but do you know a fix to it? Other mods worked fine
I am playing this game for the first time soon, do you think I should complete it without mods and THEN trying it out with these recommendations or should I hop in for the first time with these enabled?
Nah, if you wanna try the game out modless, that’s completely fine. SA2 without Mods is still a solid game. I just believe that these mods help improve the overall experience. You’re more than welcome to play it modless for your first time! :)
Mod it up every game from this era has a remake or remaster sega has butchered these games in re-releases. And have made them not up to par with modern gaming and actually aged worse defintley mod the game
Why is Character Select Plus essential? You can’t beat the speed stages as the mech or treasure hunting characters, the mech stages with the speed or treasure hunting characters, or the treasure hunting stages as the speed or mech characters.
That’s why I had it as one of the last Mods listed in the video. As I said at the beginning of the video, the order of Mods are listed from essential to least important. This Mod isn’t essential in the slightest, it just happens to be one that I often use. If the Mod isn’t for you, then that’s fine.
Hello, I like the video, but the mod loader just, doesnt work for me. I have the updated version of it, but i cant install any more. it literally just sits there with buttons that dont work.
I had that with some skyrim mods. Most likely false. As long as you are making sure to scroll down to the proper install link not some ad faking a dl button
Unfortunately the game just does not open for me the launcher boots up but when I try to start it it says something about an exception occurring and asks me if I want to try to continue or quit but continuing does nothing I’ve tried tons of things I really don’t know why it’s not starting. Damn shame really
Hm… That’s odd. I can’t say that I’ve ran into the problem before. Have you train uninstalling and reinstalling the game? I know that sounds dumb, but it’s worth a shot, I suppose.
The only mods that i saw working in a game cube emulator were skin and audio mods,and those were very limited and EXTREMELY complex to pull out,theres a video on youtube that shows a sonic reskin that makes him look like super sonic

Edit 2: Ok, so I think I got the mod order, sorry about the wait. It should look like this:
SA2 Render Fix
SA2 Volume Controls
Hedgepanel
Cutscene Revamp
Character Select Plus
Smooth Wall Collisions
The New Challengers Assets
No Battle Mod
Action Remap
Oddity Patch
Physics Improvement
Sonic Adventure 2 Retranslated
Disable Upgrade Models
Dreamcast Characters

What is the mod order?
What’s the mod order 😊
Best Mod Order?
To this day nobody knows the order
i love the person who made it not only a single click to install all this but also made it really easy
Didn't see that in the video :o Is this a new development, and if so, is there a link to it?
im listening

I've modded this game for years, but it's cool to see some mods that I missed!
I love the way you deliver your lines! Fantastic work!
Thank you so much!
Yeah, at least it's not "You're not even good enough to be my fa-I'LL MAKE YOU EAT THOSE WORDS"
Really good video on a topic I love to pieces, I'd recommend making a spreadsheet like myself as it looks cleaner.
I’m not so convinced with most of the mods because I played the game on GameCube BUT I’m grateful that we can have options, thanks :)
Thanks for the mod recommendations yoh God bless hope your having an amazing day letz goooo XD

Not exactly. The Eggman lighting fix works just fine on my end, in all cutscenes unless I missed something.
Yo thanks brother, i have just decided to regain a bit of the nostalgia haha
You better mod back them SOAP shoes or we gonna have a problem here 😂
Great video, Awesome Game, Inspiring community! Thank you all
Idk why he didnt talk about the chao garden mod
Because The Chao Garden isn't important
@@The0possumKingyou have been cursed.
@@hayden7504 Neat
That’s not an actual gameplay thing
But that doesn’t mean I don’t love my chao
Great video really helped but I can't seem to get the level oddity patch mod to work. Always says "there's a mod.ini" I'm not too knowledgeable on modding or files but do you know a fix to it?
Other mods worked fine
This video gives me Deja vu
i am a mega fan of SA2 of course all the mods on
Good news. The rail griding mod fix is finally real!
Why do you keep cutting to black? Keep the footage rolling, man.
not all heroes wear capes
Amazing video! Amazing suggestions! Are we gonna get The Definitive Way To Play Sonic Generations?
I personally would use the better radar mod instead of the all emeralds trackable code
The problem with the rails is the thumb sticks, there are 2 videos on here that tells you how to fix it
Bro if only i knew about the physics improvement mode ealier, i legit didn't play the steam version at all because i hated the mechs movements
I just want a mod that swaps the cutscene dialogue with the fan dub. 🤣🤣🤣

At least use the cutscene revamp one

yes you can
Hello, I like the video, but the mod loader just, doesnt work for me. I have the updated version of it, but i cant install any more. it literally just sits there with buttons that dont work.
it keeps saying that one of these files are harmful to my pc, i dont know if its true or its false detection
I had that with some skyrim mods. Most likely false. As long as you are making sure to scroll down to the proper install link not some ad faking a dl button
Those mods crash my game too much idk if it’s cause i have CD based or not but it crashes like hell
These mods are for the Sonic Adventure 2 steam version and not for the Sonic adventure 2 Battle steam version, right?
They’re basically the same thing
I have sa2 battle and the mods work
Unfortunately the game just does not open for me the launcher boots up but when I try to start it it says something about an exception occurring and asks me if I want to try to continue or quit but continuing does nothing I’ve tried tons of things I really don’t know why it’s not starting. Damn shame really
Hm… That’s odd. I can’t say that I’ve ran into the problem before. Have you train uninstalling and reinstalling the game? I know that sounds dumb, but it’s worth a shot, I suppose.
And the playable super hedgehogs?
Do any of these allow the game to run full speed?
I want to install the Chao stat menu too. but idk where to put it in the mod load order. pls help
can this game be played with a controler?
last time i tried to play this on pc it only had the keyboard option and keyboard sucks to play a sonic game
It works with a xbox and ps4 controller
sa2 mod loader crashes when installed how do i fix
Can it be made in dreamcast version?
why is it listed as a trojan?
Does this method work for a gamecube emulator?
The only mods that i saw working in a game cube emulator were skin and audio mods,and those were very limited and EXTREMELY complex to pull out,theres a video on youtube that shows a sonic reskin that makes him look like super sonic
does this mod makes sonic faster? original sa2 sonic is kinda slow tbh
L vid you forgot the most important mod of all time….
Amy’s eyeliner
why would I play in japanese???
Preference innit
this game still pisses me off.
Why?
I can understand it. The controls are just what I always get so mad at. So, I don’t blame ya.
