The Far Cry 5 Resistance Mod is a Mod-Installer that makes modding Far Cry 5 a piece of cake!
Not only that, the Resistance Mod is also an incredibly large bank of mods that range from;
adding skinning animations back into the game, restoring cult flags on vehicles, enabling knife takedowns,
porting of weapons from previous Far Cry games and more!

Installing

The mod uses a convenient installer to select packages of the mod and install them into the game.
The installer is localized for several languages, there is a built-in Help and a brief Wiki of modding terms.

Download the zip file either from Nexus at [link] , or you can download it from a google drive mirror if you don’t want to make a nexus account, the google drive mirror is here —
[link],
— unpack it and run FC5ModInstaller.exe.
The Mod-Installer will try to find the game directory (mostly if you have Uplay or Steam version), but if it will be unsuccessful, then manually find the installation directory of the game, go to the path:
bin and select the file FarCry5.exe. So you specify the working folder to the installer.
Select the required packages in the list (selected packages are marked with a yellow frame and ✓). If the selected package is highlighted in red, it means that there is a package conflict, these packages cannot be enabled in the same time. Click on “Toggle conflicts” button and disable the conflicting packages.
click the INSTALL button to install the mods.
Play the game.

Note: Items 1, 2 and 3 must be completed only at the first start of the installer.

Also backup your saves!

To install third-party or your own author packages, just drag and drop the package file with the extension .a3 onto the installer window. Confirm the installation, do not forget to select it in the list and install.

In the section named “Base packages” there are packages which don’t change any visible things in the game, these packages are required by another packages. They should be enabled by default.

Updating

If a new version of the mod is released, You will receive an update message in the mod installer.

From Monday, 12/15/20- the updates for the mod installer will be provided automatically in the mod-installer,
and there is no need to download the mod installer again from the site in order to update it.
now the updates are UOTA – Update-Over-The-Air – internal update system.
when an update will be out – you’ll get an update message in the mod-installer.

Note: Updating is completely up to you – if you don’t want new version, you don’t need to update the mod.

Uninstalling

If you want to uninstall all mods from the game, for example when you want to play Arcade,
you must again use the Mod-Installer to do such thing.

You have two choices:

Click on “UNINSTALL MODS” button in Mod-Installer’s main window
Verify files in Uplay or Steam (can be longer, because it will download all files which were changed by mods)

If option A will not work, you must use option B.

Directories

Since Mod Installer version 3.25.2 there are several ModifiedFiles directories.
The reason of separating was when the mod is updated,
you always must find and copy over your downloaded .a3 files
or your own edited .a3 files in ModifiedFiles directory.
In the new version, ModifiedFiles is originally empty and you can place .a3 files here and then copy whole ModifiedFiles directory to a new version.

If you want to edit any package from Resistance mod, just copy it from ModifiedFiles_Resistance directory and place it to ModifiedFiles, Mod-Installer automatically loads the one from ModifiedFiles and you will also have backup of original package.

Do not edit or place new files in ModifiedFiles_BasePackages or ModifiedFiles_Resistance! Otherwise they will be ignored…..

Also, if you want to have your own ModifiedFiles directory with your mod, please contact me (ArmanIII) and I send you info how to do it.

ModifiedFiles – originally empty, here comes all .a3 files you downloaded outside Resistance-mod, or your own packages

ModifiedFiles_BasePackages – contains base packages which are needed by other packages

ModifiedFiles_Resistance – contains files from Resistance-mod, also place here all .a3 files which you download from Resistance-mod page

Fixes

If you want use the mod, you need the game version 1.011 or the latest game patch 1.014
If you have your game installed in “Program Files” directory, run the Mod-Installer as Administrator.
If you have Windows 7 and the Mod Installer doesn’t want to start, please download KB2533623 for Windows 7.
If the Mod Installer keeps crashing, shutdown all apps like RivaTuner.
If you still have problems with running the Mod-Installer, try the delete the following folder
C:/Users/AppData/Local/Temp/.net/FC5ModInstaller

this is possible bug in .NET Core which can be fixed only by Microsoft.
If you installed the mod and it got reset on second run, please check if Uplay or Steam didn’t verified game files. If so, disable auto updates (Steam).

Development

ArmanIII started this mod, because there weren’t many mods which changed important things in the game.
Also, at first release of this mod, the last big mod was 3 months old and it didn’t contain latest game patch, so ArmanIII decided to start new mod with more changes and updated game files.

This mod doesn’t contain files like download-copy-play. You will get some source files and program that allow you to edit and pack game sources.

It is due to Ubisoft’s decision about game files sizes.
So file that must be edited has 9 GB – who want to download 9 GB every time for every mod?
So ArmanIII and his co-author RtroActiv (he left the mod’s author team in Aug 2019) created a mod and program that is much smaller than patch.dat.
Also, by this way you can select what you want in the game.

Issues

Drubman Marina and US Auto don’t have cult music after liberating – still don’t known why
Some content is still locked – I have done some live events, so for me they are unlocked; if you have some locked, write to comments
Some objects at outposts can be overlapped with cult decorations – this cannot be fixed – file has unknown binary structure
Some enemies won’t attack – caused by Random NPC Weapons, NPC sometimes doesn’t attack you, it’s because there maybe missing NPC config entry for that weapon, if I find a bad weapon, I’ll fix it
Unreleased weapons has wrong icon and/or name – you must know that these weapons were created without icons and don’t have created language entries, because they should never have appeared in the game
Unreleased weapons store stats – these stats has nothing to do with real weapon properties, they are just for info
Weather System – morning fog can cause in some places very high dense fog, rainy weather can cause overexposed (white) view of items in store, it’s caused by bad lighting
Skinning Mod– some animals won’t play an animation when skinned, this is an issue in the animal coding, and it is being resolved.
