Well, with this question you are not wrong. Compared to real complex games like Skyrim or Fallout4 (100 - 140GB incl. many extracted mods) the game engine of HS 2 seems really not to be the all the rage.
Yes, actually. It is a torrent containing the entire set, not just the game, but a second archive called the Sideloader Modpack. This is where the majority of that size comes from and the modpack is unnecessary for the game itself, so you can just disable that file in your torrent client.
Sideloader Modpack alone is 20GB - you really don´t need?
Man, that's huge, holy sh.... the thought of having almost 20% of the hdd spent on one single game makes me kinda sad and discouraged to try it...
Right?
As has been told to me by STN, the creator of Better Repack, himself, the Sideloader Modpack is only for the studio. I once mentioned there being things in it for the game myself, but he corrected me.
That's only partly true... The base game is heavily modded itself....
Yes, and the Sideloader Modpack isn't part of that preexisting modding, it is extra stuff for the studio alone. The folders in the modpack are specifically labeled "Studio" and "Maps," both of which are studio only functions. Studio adds objects to be loaded while Maps adds locations to load instead of the ones that are there already or the default black.
Yes it is... did you even look at the screenshots?
I did, hence why I explained the whole Studio and Maps folders thing.
This is a quote directly from STN himself, post #5,249, January 15th, 2021 on page 263.Extract it into the mods folder. I include a readme in the torrent as of R3.1 to explain that
It includes mods that are only useful for studio, you can disregard it if you don't use studio
That's the weird thing, it works for some people I get reports of... I am looking into alternatives though, but all services I check have their own problems, so just keep using google for the time being
Yeah but why explain it to me...
pls no...
The folder structure is an important distinction since there are some Sideloader folders that are not part of the Sideloader Modpack, but the folders in the modpack are Sideloader folders. As for the size, also important because it is the majority and the issue of size can be solved by not getting the Sideloader Modpack through the use of blocking that file in the torrent client being used to download the game.Yeah but why explain it to me...
I know that already....
This thing started with how big the game is now we are at folder structure....
Want to go to file extensions next?

Anything that isn't separated out of the game files, that means the Maps and Studio Sideloader folders, might be needed, yes.
