Good idea 8 Gangs in Steelport (But 5 to Hate Syndicate)
I loved it but, is this a part of mod or not that the caracter is near the crosshair, i feel disturbed by that can you help with that. (Sorry english is not my main)
The version of this mod available for people to download on the forums has been quite a mess, to say the least.
So after so many years I'm putting in hours to update it.
It's a complete new iteration that shifts focus from adding gangs upon gangs despite them all being Neutral Gang, to improving your main enemy, the Syndicate, while padding spawns out with a few gangs. These additive gangs play a minor role, but are still plenty elaborate. They do have their own gang vehicles, to example.
The Syndicate gets a big upgrade in their presentation to the world. Their voice lines always say they are with too many for our puny little Saints gang. Well, now they actually do at times spawn in huge numbers. From level 2 notoriety on they spawn almost with no break.
The Syndicate also get a little glass cannon style helper for all 3 gangs that I tend to call Dolls. Basically they're scanty clad female characters that cannot be taken for human shields, do not receive extra damage from headshots, and have a substantial increase in damage output.
This post will mainly focus on the Syndicate and what has changed. I hope you're not afraid of reading essays!
First off; the Morningstar. The female gang grunts have been replaced with fitting male gang grunts, and the usual female gang grunts have been converted to Dolls.
Their carpark has also been expanded with the Peacemaker, the Torch and the Sovereign. The cars do not guaranteed spawn with their gang decal anymore, and some of them might glow.
The Deckers also have received a fair upgrade. Their cars always used to have 2 types of blue underglow neon, so I integrated that into the gang's overall design a bit more. Therefore, Deckers can now spawn sporting Cyan and Dark Blue colors.
Their car park also got an expansion. As such, they can spawn on bikes like the Kenshin and the Kaneda. They also get a variant in the Go! and Wakazashi. Just like with the Morningstar, they do not show up with their decal guaranteed, spawn with a fair variety in parts, and can have their trim glow.
They can spawn Dolls, but don't do this as often, because their rollerblader is already quite powerful (and they're probably closet simping the Genki Girls).
Whew, that's a wall of screenshots.
The Luchadores have gotten the biggest expansion of all. I wanted to give the Luchadores 2 different kind of phases/faces.
At face value they now mostly look like well civilized beings, wearing suits and driving luxury cars. Although the usual buffed up Luchadore also blends in here and there. As an insurance of some sort. They can spawn Dolls, too.
During level 2 notoriety they do come after you in their luxury cars and wearing suits.
So there's the first bit of changes for what the Syndicate will throw at the New Enemy in Town. I hope to get a recording or some done at some point, to give a better idea.
Stay tuned for more!

During lower levels of notoriety they spawn in the 2 seater cars Torch and Sovereign.
With level 3 notoriety this changes to make them spawn with the 4 seater vehicles, they also send in air support armed with either snipers or rifles, but snipers are more likely as the sniper is their staple specialist.
Level 4 notoriety introduces the chance of brutes and attack choppers. The Morningstar attack choppers have been changed a little.
During level 5 notoriety they go all out on you, literally doubling down on the usage of brutes and also introducing APCs.

During lower levels of notoriety they spawn on bikes and in Go! cars.
During level 3 they spawn in Wakazashis and Solars. Some Solars can have a rollerblader specialist like in vanilla. They can also spawn with air support, but unlike the Morningstar, the air support only has rifles.
Level 4 notoriety changes the spawn table up again, abandoning the cars for their usual Kayak SUVs and pickup trucks spawning brutes. This notoriety level also introduces a different kind of air support in the shape of a Blackhawk dropping some enemies and a specialist off at the nearest intersection.
During level 5 they do away with the Blackhawks in favour of APCs.

From level 3 onwards, they spawn with as the normal buffed up goons everyone is used to from the vanilla game. They can spawn in Alaskan SUVs or Compensator trucks. They also have air support in the form of a heli armed with 2 rocket/grenade launchers. Their staple specialist also can spawn at this level.
During level 4 it escalates further. Away with the civilian heli and say hello to the attack chopper. Their vehicle rotation has also changed to Hummers and spawn brutes.
At level 5 they escalate even further. Not only do they get rid of the brutes, but also of the attack choppers. Instead, they now spawn with Hummers, turret-mounted Humvees and tanks. I guess the find their attack choppers too flimsy or something. They're also doubling down on specialists btw and I am considering for them to even triple down on it.
Considering the game's spawn system is not the smartest, it can quite easily turn into World of Tanks at this level (3? 4? if you're lucky, you might see 5!).

Post 2 with the hope of giving a decent update on the progress.
Aside from the enemy gang, the Saints have also seen changes.
The Saints will finally spawn in the open world with their own car! Not at the expense of mission vehicles, like in older builds. Both Saints vehicles spawning in missions and vehicles spawning in the open world are actually Saints vehicles! The car list has also been expanded:
-Alaskan
-Attrazione
-Bulldog (With Luchadores sticker colored purple and the star removed)
-Bulldog (Turret variant)
-Compensator
-Hammer
-Kaneda
-Kayak
-Reaper
-Taxi
-X2-Phantom
-Zimos
I haven't added the Mule (the mover truck that's featured in Convoy Decoy). It doesn't make a lot of sense to me to add that, despite having a cyber bike in the vehicle list.
... I might add it to the list along with some more vehicles, but not immediately, because all Saints vehicles, much like the other gangs' vehicles, spawn with a variety of parts now! All of them.
For Saints cars I have 3 possibly color configurations:
-Saints cars using the vanilla config with the car being all purple, gold/white gold trim and golden rims.
-Saints cars using a styling more similar to the Syndicate. The main color being black or deep dark purple, with purple accents, purple metal trim, and either purple metal or golden rims. No glowing trim though, unlike the Syndicate.
-Saints cars using an SR4 sort of color configuration, with the base body being pearl white, with purple accents, purple trim and purple rims.
Lieutenant vehicles are changed accordingly where applicable. I'm trying to keep a consistent theme here!
Knobby has always warned me that using Fully_Customizable uses a lot of memory. The effects are unknown, but the game handles it pretty well honestly.
Half to 2/3 of all variants use Fully_Customizable after I put my hands on it, and I'm not noticing any major game breaking flaws. I noticed that during notoriety, some cars might spawn with only 1 NPC in it, but that's also because I drastically reduced the spawn interval of each notoriety level and increased spawn caps of cars and NPCs across the board.
The status quo of Steelport will go lengths to ensure it stays that way. If they have to rain hell on you and flood you with people, they will.
Oh yeah, the Saints Lieutenants also have each their own car.
-Pierce drives up to you in his own Infuego, styled differently than your average Saints Infuego.
-Shaundi drives up to you in her Hammer. Also styled differently than your average Saints variant.
-After Johnny was presumed dead, the Saints gave his Sovereign to Kinzie. A bit of a shame she doesn't wash the car.
-Viola has made the Temptress her own this time. The car can at times have some dirt on it however.
-Angel still drives a Neuron, although it has been altered with different components.
-Zimos has a choice! He can spawn in his lowrider Churchill, or he can spawn in a Zimos!
And it doesn't end with the base game gang!
I intend to make a variant for the DLC homies too!
-Angry Tiger gets a Kaneda.
-Sexy Kitten gets a Vortex.
-Sad Panda gets a Torch.
And since these Genki Girls hold a special place to in terms of design (those leg warmers and paw gloves are the best, I still wish we would get those in subsequent games), their vehicles will have a colour scheme befitting their character design!
-Tammy Tolliver will get an Atlantica specially made for her.
-CheapyD arrives in a Keystone.
-Kwilanna will arrive riding a Kenshin styled to fit her looks.
Further homies I might have missed I'll have to look into. Oleg for example might get his own Criminal to arrive with.
Pics will come later.

regards on packfiles folder do i have to backup it or just replace it directly on saints row 3 folder
Where do I download? Thanks.
Looks like the site is a little broke when it comes to attaching files to a post. At least, it doesn't really do anything with the archive.
I've added it to my Drive. You should be able to download it from there.
