Cruel Trance is an Enemy re-texture/remodel project I have been working on since I started modding Payday 2. This mod aims to hopefully create a completely unique visual experience for those who are tired of the look of Vanilla Payday 2.

Cruel Trance is INCOMPATIBLE with any mods that replace models, objects, units or material config files with the same names as files in the mod. So if you are using Visual Fixes or any other enemy mod that affects DCPD for example, remove all files related to enemies or Cruel Trance will NOT WORK.

Cruel Trance comes with Mod Options allowing you to disable custom effects on enemies. (Note, this will not disable effects for Zeal Cloaker (idle and charge states) and GenSec Heavy Shotgunner head blood.)

Cruel Trance is designed to be used with Luca Spawn Diversifier, however it is an entirely optional spawngroups mod, read pinned comment for more info.

Alternatively you can download the new patch from Mod Bakery: https://modbakery.donutteam.com/projects/view/152
