- IMPORTANT NOTE: Ensure "Enable save file redirection" is checked in SonicGMI so that the mod uses its own save file called "cpkredir.sav", instead of "sonic.sav" which is linked to the Steam Cloud. If you aren't careful with the save files, you may lose ALL OF YOUR SAVE PROGRESS. You may want to avoid SonicGMI and its mods entirely if you are paranoid about your save file progress being accidentally overwritten or lost.
SonicGMI (Generations Mod Installer) is the only mod manager for Sonic Generations, and is required by all non-exe mods.

- Minimal to no performance impact
Sonic Generations renders generic shadows at 90° angles. This mod enables true directional shadows, lightshafts, and includes various graphical tweaks explained in the video. Note that the folder "Graphics Overhaul" is the main mod for the base game, while the included folders are intended to be merged with the mods named.
High Resolution Shadows
- Only for the shadows cast by dynamic objects, not those that are baked into the levels themselves.
- May impact performance.
There's a way to go beyond the shadow resolution options offered by the game, and it involves some manual modifications to the executable. Step-by-step instructions can be found here.
