I want to spend a bit of time talking about the current modding situation for RE9. As usual, Capcom has added anti-tamper code that attempts to stop mods from working. Thankfully, praydog has updated his RE Framework tool to disable these checks, making it possible to actually mod the game. I recommend downloading the latest version of RE Framework (if you have a version that's from 2026/03/02 or newer, you should be good). You can show your support to praydog here: https://www.patreon.com/praydog
Note that in order to make the game load modified textures, a mod has to be stored as a PAK.
My REtool currently does not work with RE9. Once I find the time, I'll try to make big update to it.
But other people have made tools that do similar things. Here are some tools I've seen people use for creating mods:
As for this mod manager update, there are various minor changes. I added categories to RE9 mods. The mod manager will try to automatically assign categories to mods, but it can only do with this loose file mods. I expect most mods will be PAK mods moving forward, so you'll have to manually assign mod category (Options -> Category Assignment) or you can simply disable the category view in Options.
If you're a mod author, you can force a mod to be assigned to a specific category via the modinfo file. You do that by adding a line like this:
Category=!Other > Misc
Here's a full list of categories:
!Characters > Leon
!Characters > Grace
!Characters > Sherry
!Characters > Alyssa
!Characters > Victor
!Characters > Zeno
!Characters > NPCs & Enemies
!Characters > Multiple
!Other > RE Framework
!Other > Code Injectors
!Other > Weapons
!Other > Models
!Other > Textures
!Other > Text
!Other > Misc
