Watch Dogs 2 - Modding Build Showcase! (Police & Factions Overhaul + Maybe more!)

Hello Everyone! TFFox here welcome back to another GOATED video! In todays vid, we continue my epic modding showcase series! A series in which I show some of my favourite mods/modded builds for my games! I am a master modder and have been gaming and modding for many years but only just started making content so LOTS to show and will over time even as it all expands and changes! :) Some games I still cant show FOR NOW even though I have perfect builds (Thanks rockstar for breaking GTA 4) but regardless still alot to show! So I really want to just get my main ones out of the way with my favourite mods and builds, then more with lots of games over time! Obviously its an ever evolving thing and will change over time so lots to look forward to! I will get more not only games over time but also for even the ones ive already made vids on, especially since alot of mods still get updates so over time I will remake these videos on new versions of the mods! I will also change up the mods which you may see in other series of these games or if i remake these vids for specific games! and just in general like everything on my channel I will show things slowly over time through a number of mediums not all at once so stay tuned for much more! In the mean time check out my screenshots for more :)
In todays video we head to the sunny streets of San Francisco for Watch Dogs 2!! An amazing game with a ton of modding potential! For todays video and build however, I only have 1 mod for a number of reasons, mostly compatibility issues and the fact this mod is all I really need/want! Plus I am going to be doing a playthrough so want it to mostly be vanilla :) BUT after I complete it I will get more mods over time! Really excited about my series playthrough but as I explained last video I did have to skip finishing WD 1 FOR NOW, luckily I already finished the whole base game and I can still hop on for bits of gameplay and shootouts and OC RP and trying in little bits to finish bad blood. So will do that more over time. I should also note for WD1 I am keeping my saves so when it is fixed I will continue with bad blood DLC since I finished. BUT with all that said, for my playthrough, for now at least I am having to skip and go to WD2 which I am very excited for!! I will be keeping the save I used in this video and might use it for random stuff/shootouts but for the playthrough I am going to be starting again on the hardest difficulty too just for the extra challenge so look forward to lots of content on this game, WD1, and many more! Check out my SC's over time for more!
and just in general for my videos i am definitely looking to improve the quality over time, better resolutions, better mic, better editing etc! So look forward to that! I just need to upgrade my storage before I do alot of larger videos, but thats no problem might just not be able to upload as often but either way TONS to look forward to in this series, other series, and other vids!! Liek, subskrib, and stay tuned!!
SMALL UPDATE REGARDING SERIES PLAYTHROUGH: So I was actually able to complete the 1st mission of bad blood which is something I havent been able to do yet without crashing!! This does SLIGHTLY change things, I will still continue the series playthrough with WD2 as normal, especially since I have completed the main WD1 game so its okay, but I think from time to time as I hop on WD1 for the occasional play/shootout, I will keep trying bad blood and hopefully by little steps just like I have done here, I will be able to finish it eventually! A bit of an odd series playthrough doing 2 at once but as you know I like to have a general structure but change it up when necessary! So thats what I will do going forward, prioritise WD2 for the series playthrough, but over time/ when wanting to, hopping on here to play for a bit and to try to make progress and eventually finish bad blood thus finishing the entire WD1!! Also keen since I restarted the whole One Chicago series gonna watch in chronological order so great RP in this and many other games! Stay tuned!!
UPDATE 2: HUGE shoutout and thank you again to the modding legends themselves Yorpie and Olanov for viewing and commenting! Will explain more in my next video to come but thank you to Olanov for noticing my issues and helping trying to fix! Now that I have an idea of whats causing my issues with WD1 I may be able to fix it! Though it is a big fix so may take some time. So for now still the same as update 1 I may start with WD2 and just play/work on WD1 over time but definitely going to prioritise fixing WD1 alot more now its great to finally know the issue! Stay tuned!

Something this mod needs to add back is the Sonarus LX police car like the one in WD 1. Maybe add a police van for local units too. That would be cool.

[@TFFox]

Definitely! I completely agree with you! I always found it interesting that for WD1 PFO there's many different units but we only get the 1 for WD2 but the fact he does add the sonarus in the form of unmarked and the crown vic for CHP is very good and much appreciated, I'm sure there must be some sort of technical limitation that's preventing Yorpie from adding multiple different police units but who knows! We may be seeing it soon especially with the upcoming new version! 👀

[@TangentShark]

I wish the SFPD had the correct livery and the vessel as casual patrol car. Amazing video!

[@TFFox]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the support :) yeah I hear you, it's interesting because earlier versions of this mod had exact real life liveries for SFPD and OPD! but I think Yorpie wanted to go down a more lore friendly route to match his WD1 mod which I totally get! I wonder if maybe there's an old version of the mod lying around somewhere you can download🤔

[@Yorpie]

Really wish we could fix the female cops but sadly there is no components for them. That belt they wear is the female equivalent of the male version. And no model editing tools for this game unlike WD1 means it can't be fixed either. Same reason why the detectives only use the Charger. Its the only vehicle with emergency lights thats not a lightbar, so had to get creative so took the Umeni security charger, stripped its livery and lightbar, changed the bullbar lights to red and blue and changed its profiler to state it as a police vehicle.
Regarding unit counts, they're basically the same as vanilla however the delay between spawns is longer at lower heats to simulate units having to scramble on the fly.
You are right on the Px4, its not used in vanilla. There only was the P9mm and the 1911 there as handguns.
As for the SWAT guys, yeah vanilla they only wore caps which was so weird. I did keep those around for the SWAT guys that deploy the armored police dogs.
One other note, I do challenge you to get yourself up to a heat 5 police chase and try to survive as long as possible. Reaching heat 5 is when the SWAT will start getting deployed but fun fact, internally thats about the halfway point :P As you keep racking up kills you'll start seeing tactical highway patrol units, the reworked enforcers and at the very max, similar to the wd1 mod, you'll have the FBI show up with a whole set of units of their own.

[@TFFox]

Yorpie! Thank you so much for checking it out and replying answering my questions! :) Ahhh bugger! That sucks about the female cops but makes sense now why no one has fixed that yet, no stress though honestly its such a minor thing and this mod adds SO much haha. Ohhhhh thats interesting about the charger yeah I was looking at the lights at the front and I had a feeling you had to get creative, thats so awesome I love hearing about the different ways you guys implement things. Thank you so much for putting so much work into this mod it really shows! :)
Ahhh Interesting to hear that about the unit counts, I honestly thought my game was glitched but the fact you put that there to simulate real life again shows how you've just thought of everything I love that! Good to know about the weapons too I had a feeling that was added in I remember from back in the early versions of the mod how there is 2 variants of pistols for police, I LOVE the new weapon additions and the fact you put them into the loadouts of police and factions brings so much more content to the game!
Yeah I never liked the vanilla swat tbh they just looked weird and not realistic, hence why at the beginning I talk about how back when I was on PS4 I simulated shootouts on alcatraz since it would just use regular officers for some reason. So the fact you overhauled that too is MUCH appreciated!
Oooooo I actually didnt know that! Okay now I am SUPER keen! For sure I accept your challenge and will do that in an upcoming video soon! Assuming I can survive it :P Plus I probably need to redo this again because like I was saying I honestly didnt think you guys would see this and I want to showcase more properly your amazing mods with ALL their features! Since these videos are sort of just me rambling about how much I love them haha but hey its true! Thank you again for all your hard work in creating such AMAZING mods and sharing them with the community for free! Will keep in touch and I am actually working on a showcase of PFO for WD1 as we speak :) Then I will do your challenge haha so stay tuned much more to come! and keep up the amazing work!

[@hegottemall]

You can get me in watch dogs 2 roleplay?

[@0MBN0]

Try modded gta 4 please ( free roam )

[@TFFox]

Thank you for viewing the video and for the suggestion! I'm glad you recommended it GTA 4 is one of my favourite games to play and mod and has been for over a decade now!
Unfortunately (and I will explain more in my next modding showcase) but rockstar released an update that completely killed modding and modding builds :( its really stupid and sad especially since I had this PERFECT modded build with my own mods I created myself which would be perfect to show but yeah :( don't worry though it still is on the cards and when I do get it working again it's the first vid I'll make so stay tuned!

Bieen! 🆃🅵🅵🅾🆇 yo, al fin, he abandonado todos los Gta , éran una pesadilla de scripts y archivos basura, con una interminable config de teclas para que se active cada una de ellas, con demasiados conflictos. Ahora he comenzádo WatchDogs 1 + un solo pack de Mod lo mas "hardcore" y posible, funciona todo muy estable , Watch Dogs 2 será el siguiente, los npc y personajes son maravillosos

[@TFFox]

Thank you so much for the positive comment! I completely agree GTA can sometimes be a nightmare to mod and very messy for sure, especially with so many mods, but Watch Dogs is definitely more simple and you usually only need 1 or 2 mods! Welcome to the Watch Dogs modding community by the way! Glad to hear you are enjoying it :)
