The Simple Mod Framework is the de facto standard for creating and playing mods for HITMAN 3. Develop mods with an advanced, yet easy to use set of features, and play with mods with only a few clicks.

Do you make mods? Great, the framework has:
- Advanced compatibility with patch support - mods can patch the same entity multiple times without needing to include the full file
- Easy localisation - don't bother with CRC32 and language rebuilding
- Automatic handling of file types - include contracts without needing to bother with ORES, add new images without creating hashes and patch sound effects easily
- Easy rebuilding - instead of manually rebuilding everything yourself, let the framework handle your mod to ensure you don't make any mistakes
Do you not care about that? Great, the framework has:
- Automatic updates - the framework will tell you if there are updates, and if you want, update the mod for you
- Settings for mods - you can enable and disable features in any supported mod
- One-click deployment - all you need to do is hit Apply, and everything is handled for you
- Compatibility with everything - as long as the framework is up to date, your mods should just work

The Simple Mod Framework, along with all of my other mods and tools, is free and open source. If you want to support its
development, or just donate in general, you can do so here. Even if you can't or don't want to donate money, I appreciate your support!

This tool is absolutely the worst shit I've ever used for a video game. It's absolutely the dumbest mod of any game ever. It's worse than the time Final Fantasy XIII modded their character models so that all the hair was colorblind-friendly. It's worse than when my house burnt down because I tossed a lit cigarette into my bed. It's worse than the time I mistook a box of Twinkies for a burrito and ate it. It's worse than when I took a home pregnancy test and found out I had testicular cancer. It's bad and it's awful.
For one thing, it looks amateurish. It doesn't look like a real program. It looks like some kind of weird auto-scrolling meme shit. I can't even begin to describe the horrors that this framework has inflicted upon my eyes.
Avoid the Simple Mod Framework at all costs, or it will come for you too.
This tool is a piece of crap! It's just a simple way for lazy modders to make it easy for themselves. The Simple Mod Framework is total garbage and its [sic] a waste of time and money.
The worst part is, it doesn't even work with my COMPLETELY LEGITIMATE year-and-a-half-old version of HITMAN 3! I've tried everything to get it to work (I even skimmed the instructions one time) and it just doesn't work.
The developer is clearly a hack and doesn't know what they're doing. Don't waste your time with this piece of trash, stick with the real modding tools that actually work, like... uhh...
this simple mod fraimwork is a peice of crap i cant even get it to work it says the simple mod fraimwork is installed incorrectly and i cant fix it i hate this game and i hate the mod fraimwork do not download this mod fraimwork it is a waste of time i wish i never even heard of this peice of crap mod fraimwork i hope the creator of this mod fraimwork burns in hell for making such a terrible mod fraimwork i will never play hitman 3 again because of this mod fraimwork it ruined the game for me i hope no one else has to suffer the way i did with this peice of crap mod fraimwork.
