Mods

See the beginners setup guide for instructions on how to configure the game for mod support.
Requires patching the game executable using TTGamesPatcher. This works on both the Steam and GOG versions' executables and does not touch any DRM.[7]
Setting up mods requires extracting the game's .DAT files, which noticeably increases file size, increases load times, and may disable achievements.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/829110/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (829110) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.

  3. From Discord post:
    This is a simple mod that doesn't add anything new to the game, but instead makes some small 'quality-of-life' changes to things already present in-game, making the experience slightly different and hopefully more enjoyable and/or immersive. No new models/textures/effects are applied by this mod, only a few script changes to the base game.
    
    · Fast Boot- Makes the startup screen and cutscene (LEGO,DC,Tt logos) faster and skippable, respectively.
    · Rush Start - Some unskippable cutscenes can now be skipped (e.g.: can skip level 0 cutscene and jump right into character creator)
    · More Characters- Unlocks 150+ unobtainable "hidden" characters such as civilians, goons, drones, etc. and makes them playable.
    · More Vehicles- Unlocks 17 unobtainable "hidden" vehicles in the spawn menu.
    · No Bad Words - Custom characters are allowed to be named anything, all 'bad words' have been removed.
    · Kill Everything - Civilians and animals can now be killed, they can even fight back when attacked.
    · Bigfig Ride- Allows Bigfigs to use vehicles and ride animals
    · Grabs Extended- Allows to use Grab moves and executions on followers (or other player) and civilians. Cannot be performed on all characters.
    · Faster Credits - End credits scroll much faster and are forced to finish 156 seconds in, instead of 900 seconds (15 min), ensuring only one playback of the "I fought the law" song. Credits can still be skipped at any time.
    · Customizing+ (experimental and buggy) - Custom characters can now use more than one body attachment part at once and with every hair, without limits.
  4. Level 2 only

    Using GBros XInput adapter for Wii Classic Controller. Controller lacks clickable sticks, and I was unable to find a way to type without the keyboard. Ended up remapping the L3 and R3 to the left and right D-Pad buttons (since this game lets you do that, unlike LMSH2.

    The game uses standard Ogg Vorbis files for audio. 7.1 support claim based upon routing table files; needs testing.

    The patcher works by patching a single byte at a specific offset from 0x74/JE (jump if equal) to 0xEB/JMP (unconditional jump). The GOG and Steam executables are the same size, with the only notable difference being the GOG version pointing to common64.dll instead of steam_api64.dll, so the offsets stay the same, and the existing patcher works on the GOG version in addition to the original Steam target.
