Sunny Hills is a mixture of performance and fun, as it allows players to completely remove the fog and even remove the dreariness of weather that blocks the sun. With the Sunny Hills model, the town of Silent Hill becomes a tad more comfortable and inviting thanks to the bright weather and Summer breeze.
Chapters during nighttime will remain unaffected with the Sunny Hills mod, but for when it’s daytime, the mod by FrancisLouis might make a new playthrough a different experience. Still brimming with monsters, but with the sun shining bright.

There’s nothing wrong with seeing the similarities between Silent Hill 2 and Resident Evil 4. Both feature a great deal of horror and action, and the two games shouldn’t be pitted against each other in insult. They’re both great games with equally great protagonists, so why not bring Leon Kennedy into the town of Silent Hill?
Updated Enemy Designs In Silent Hill 2 Remake, Ranked
Silent Hill 2 Remake has brought back plenty of classic monsters, and some of them have received updates to their appearance and abilities.
This mod simply replaces the character model of James Sunderland with Leon from the Resident Evil 4 remake, bringing forth another horror-series remake icon into yet another remake. It might add a new layer of immersion by having this expert combatant instead of James who might be missing his quiet desk job right about now.

Maria is one of the many characters who look great in the Silent Hill 2 remake, but for players who prefer a classic touch of nostalgia, the Original Maria Outfit mod from Swiz19 might be for them. While the mod does feature optional cosmetics for Maria, the best part of it comes from the fact it brings back Maria’s original outfit, something that was jokingly teased back at Jacks Inn.
With Maria’s original outfit modded into the game, players can bring back further familiarity from the 2001 original game. There’s nothing wrong with the remake’s outfit, but for those seeking nostalgia, this could be something to try out.
3 Play As 2001 James Sunderland

On the topic of nostalgia, what better way to re-experience Silent Hill 2 than with the original model for James Sunderland? It might seem a little out of place to run around the beautiful PS5 renditions of Silent Hill with the PS2 model of James Sunderland, but that just adds to the charm and the mystery of this man out of place in a town since abandoned.
This mod is a character model replacement and comes complete with facial animations, and while it might be a tad buggy, it’s something that NorskPL will improve at a later time, and it’s a great first character model swap mod, especially for those who can’t bear to be without 2001 James.

Perhaps one of the most bizarre mods out there, FrancisLouis provides players with a new model for the Steel Pipe melee weapon, and it’s none other than the character model of Mary, James’ dead wife. When players pull out their melee weapons to fight monsters and destroy the breakable walls, they will now be wielding Mary herself.
It’s a wild mod that just embraces the fun and silly side of the modding community. James loves Mary and wants to find her in their special place, so why not bring her along as the perfect stick to beat up enemies with?
