Ziggy's Mod is the biggest mod available for Far Cry 3. It completely rebalances almost every aspect of the game to offer a more challenging, realistic and immersive experience for the player. This mod removes all of the arbitrary restrictions on the game's content, giving you access to everything from the beginning (not for free) and allowing you the freedom to choose how you want to play.

Since the first version of this mod was released in early 2013, I have worked with the great Nexus Mods community along with some of the best Far Cry 3 modders to improve this mod and turn it into what it is today.

This mod makes hundreds of changes and tweaks to the game, making it impossible to list everything in the description. What is written above are only some of the highlights of what this mod offers. You will just have to install the mod and see for yourself what else has changed.
