Max Poly count for modded character?

I'm planning to mod a custom model over Snake for TPP, and wanted to know what would be my limits in terms of polycount the game can handle.

Thanks

Sleep/Stun timer mod?

Has anyone found or made a Mod for MGSV that brings back the old MGS3 sleep/stun timer? The "ZZZ, ZZ, Z" showing that soldiers are close to waking up?

[Request] Either for info or a mod: Increased marker count

Is there a mod that increases the amount of markers that can be placed? I find the default 5 to be a little limiting

I'm new to Lua modding but would love to learn more, so I'm not afraid of making a mod like this but I have no idea where to start...

Any help is much appreciated!

Suddenly a lot of heavy armor after installing Infinite Heaven

After installing IH I noticed guards suddenly wearing heavy armor is more common at every post. I have NOT changed any settings with IH yet. This is my first playthough, so I'm not sure if this is common (I'm currently on Mission 30) or not. What do you think? Thanks.

P.S. Do you know of any map mods that add new locations/bases? If so, please tell me your favorite so I can try!

Can't see side ops after modding

I looked through the FAQ's to make sure this wasn't already in there

I installed SnakeBite, and Infinite Heaven, but can't seem to get Morbid's Side-Op Expansion Pack to work. I installed everything according to the instructions, and all the side ops appeared blank. I then went back, and un-installed Morbid's Side-Op Expansion Pack, and still can't see any side ops.

I'm wording if this means it's another mod that is interfering with it? Maybe i need to set up the side op's manually in the game?

some problems I ran into

well you see, I was changing mgs1 solid snake model to v1 model from ultrakill, so that I can port to mgs5 as custom model, when Imported the model into unity, and used fmdl tool v2 material preset editor to create a preset from a mesh, for some reason.... the create preset from a mesh doesn't work... I don't know why.....

another problem I ran into is the generate bounding boxes, for whatever reason it just makes the bounding boxes small.

and yes, it does have a root and all, in fact I used the mgs1 solid snake rig.

rig without v1 model

Any mods that allow me to use a MGO character in single-player?

Hi, does anybody know of any mods that would enable me to create/use a MGO character in single player? I'd like to play as a custom female character in single player mode, is there a mod that would let me do that? If there isn't a specific mod for that, is there anyway I can do it myself?

Morbid Side Ops

Can't seem to get any of the side ops to show up even though I've followed the instructions perfectly. Is it no longer working on this update?

MGSV on Whiskey, need help installing mods (MacBook Pro M3)

Okay so this might be irredeemably complicated but here we go:

I was able to run MGSV perfectly fine on steam via Whisky, but when I install and try to open Snakebite, it won't run. I've opened Snakebite and unsuccessfully tried to install mods on Crossover, but it runs so poorly on there it's not even worth it. Any ideas on how to get Snakebite running properly on Whisky? Or another medium?

EDIT: GzsTool doesn't open either. Is there another way to manually install mods if Snakebite won't work?

Text not being displayed, modded side ops

Hello! I installed multiple mods. Infinite Heaven, IHHook, Morbid’s Side Ops, Tales from Motherbase, and XOF Side ops. I installed per the instructions, however, the text displaying the title of the side ops, and the description isn’t there. Only the Number of the side op, and a space for it in the IDroid. Has anyone else experienced this? How would I go about fixing it?

so, i probably already know the answer to this question but i'm asking anyway (MGSV)

this sub probably gets this question at least once a year or so, but here goes.
was there ever a mod made that made it so you could use FOB weapons in the game's sandboxes?

not a huge fan of certain items being FOB only, especially that there are similarly overpowered items available in the main game that restrict you to an A rank, and them not having any point to unlocking them otherwise.

if there is, could you drop a link or the name of the mod? if not, why the hell have we, in all the years this game has been out, never gotten one?!

Hand of Jehuty Range Increase

Hi I am looking for a mod that increases the range of the Hand of Jehuty, or a way for someone like me who has no modding experience whatsoever to do it. Thank you!

transfer Venom Snake's skills onto another soldier?

title.

I simply want to make another soldier as effective as he is in battle, or at least give a soldier all the good skills. the cheat tables I've found only allow me to give them one skill. how could I go at this?

Question about Snakebite and mods location

So I’ve been playing around with FMDL recently before I get started making mods, I actually really like looking at all the models in that program seeing all the little details. So I downloaded a few mods and have been unpacking the data to view those models better but I never see them listened in the files and when I open a model in FMDL it’s the original not the modded one, I was wondering if there was a way to view those modded models in FMDL or if I was just doing something wrong.

Infinite Heaven breaks graphical settings (game launches in a small window). The game then says "unable to change graphical settings" upon attempting to change something. Checked that all files in 287700 folder aren't read only. The game disregards what's written in the config file.

No Health Regeneration Mod

The No Health Regeneration Mod got deleted, here are the archive links if somebody is searching (I know I did, took a lot of time)

No Regen - https://www.nexusmods.com/metalgearsolidvtpp/mods/471?tab=files&file_id=2348

Toned Down Regen - https://www.nexusmods.com/metalgearsolidvtpp/mods/471?tab=files&file_id=2350

--- not mine --- not mine --- not mine -/-/- keep out --- keep out --- keep out ---

I was looking for the "toned down" version, and my first idea was to play with the URL of the original. And would'n you know, changing the last number by 1 or 2 got results :D

In case of nexus server failure or similar I suggest somebody re-archives those, and for the users it is advised to tuck away the .mgsv file somewhere, in case you need it again.
