Well that's funny.
Ah, well at least you know there's a fix on the way!

Final Fantasy VII Remako + Reunion mods on PC: How are they?
- Thread starter AnansiThePersona
- Start date
In 7th Heaven? The only thing that lets me do is change battle costumes.
Hmm ok, I might check this out and then make a decision.
From the Gameplay package:
EDIT:
oh shit, I understand. Your New Threat is the standalone IRO. I see it. In that case, download the Gameplay package from the Catalog, set it to the Vanilla Combat New Threat, and deactivate the standalone New Threat. You don't need to uninstall it; just deactivate it.
However, keep in mind that the New Threat from the gameplay package is of a previous version of the one you are using. There might be the potential for bugs with your savefile. My instincts tell me you'd probably be fine... but I'm letting you know still.
Ohhhhhh. I currently have both the Gameplay and standalone IRO installed. I was using the gameplay one for just being able to save anywhere (a god send) and the occasional invincibility. So if I deactivate the NT IRO but don't uninstall it it'll still have the translation?From the Gameplay package:

If you aren't interested in the gameplay improvements of A New Threat and just want a new translation why not play with the Reunion mod instead?
Because I want everything else that 7th Heaven has with regards to the upscaled backgrounds and character models.
Correct. Just click on the slider-button on the right side of the window to deactivate a mod. You can activate and deactivate them at will. Just make sure you don't have two incompatible mods activated at the same time (such as two different versions of New Threat).
If you want to use the New Threat standalone IRO as well as the gameplay tweaks from the Gameplay package, have both packages/mods activated, but make sure that the "difficulty" mod from the Gameplay package is set to "No Change".
Also, make sure your mods are sorted.

You can get that with Reunion no problem. Satsuki's upscaled background installer has an option for Reunion built in.
Reunion also comes with the new, non-Chibi, models, 60 fps battles, and some interface improvements, etc. It's a great package for anyone that wants vanilla gameplay with an overhauled translation and new coat of paint.
I played several hours that way without issue but ultimately I changed over to 7th Heaven with New Threat because I really wanted the gameplay changes that A New Threat brings to the table.
Just bought the PC version with the recent 'stay at home' sales on Steam.
I already did it on Switch in January, but I want to tackle it with mods now, fuck fidelity at this point, I did the game entirely countless times.

Not sure if anyone else has ran into this issue with Reunion, but their is a known cutscene bug after Temple of the Ancients
in which the screen will just shake forever and the cutscene won't progress. If you run into the issue, you'll need to disable Reunion then redo that part in order to progress. Not sure if it was because Tifa was in my party or not, but just fyi. You'll be able to reenable reunion after you safe.
where Cait Sith is turning the temple into the Black Materia, and the temple is rumbling
AnansiThePersona How's the playthrough going? Are you going straight for the last boss or will you attempt the optional endgame content?
Sweet! There's so many mods available to you. I suggest you check the rest of the thread for some of my posts where I gave advice and suggestions. You can also ask me stuff and I'll try my best to help you.
Any ya'll modding folks have luck getting a controller to work ? Thanks to 7th heaven 2.0 it was easy to enough to add all the visual stuff I wanted to try out and also fairly simple to make my current "clean" steam version saves load up just fine but I can't seem to get my xbox one pad to work.
As of right now, if you want the D-Pad to work, you need to use a program called AntiMicro. Check my posts from earlier in the thread where I helped someone set it up.
7th Heaven 2.1 will supposedly fix this issue. And eventually when the graphics driver is changed to FFNx, any potential issue on the controller front will be quashed since the mods will finally be using the executable of the Steam release of the game.

Thanks for asking. The playthrough is nearing it's end. Doing all the bonus stuff too. Right now I've beaten the Ancient Forest and three of the Materia Caves. Only one left is the Shinryu/Omega one O_O... it's tough as nails. After getting KotR, doing everyone's side-missions for their limit breaks should be easy. After that, it's off to finish the Enemy Skill list and beat the super bosses. Then I'll finish. Definitely the best way to replay the game if you've beaten it before. I'm joining you in the FF8 NT mod hype train
Seik Have you started playing with some mods?
AdvancedWind Have you decided to go with 7th Heaven in the end?
Akasaki Have you succeeded in making 7th heaven work?
Ahti Rajang Are you guys playing with New Threat? Which mods have you installed?
ScorchedBacon How's New Threat so far? Have you run into further issues?

I'm legit super happy to see that you've had such a great time. And yeah, I am super on board the hype train for FF8 New Threat. I haven't played FF8 in about 12 years now. It's a game that I hold near my heart despite it being very unbalanced and unchallenging. Needless to say, the thought of experiencing it again with what will surely be fantastic gameplay is very exciting to me.
Not yet, I've been playing Wonderful 101 since I got the Steam code!
However I'd sure like to hear your best advice as to what I need as per what I'm looking for. Basically
-AI upscaled pre-rendered backgrounds. (Perhaps Videos too?)
-Those field/battle models that look like their OG artworks. Same for NPCs, enemies, bosses, everything, the big treatment.
-Perhaps, if optional, a harder difficulty.
I did the game countless times since 97, so now I'm just looking for a refreshed experience as much as possible, to hell with fidelity, I know the game by heart. 😁
You want A New Threat- it's a fantastic overhaul that is more challenging than base game but not overly hard or frustrating.
Get the QHIMM Community Packages in 7th Heaven for Field Models, World Models, etc, Media (ie movies), etc They will all be listed in the catalog that comes with 7th Heaven.
Enable the modules then double click for options. You can toggle everything you want from there.
For visuals I would recommend "SYK" (Sasuki) upscales everywhere they are offered.
For character models go with Ninostyle when offered (this will give you he ones that look like Nomura's concept art) and Kaldarasha otherwise. That will give you the "realistically proportioned" models.
Another alternative is downloading Ninostyle's chibi field models (IRO version) from the Nexus and then import the IRO file into 7th heaven. These chibi models are insanely good and their proportions work better with the environmental art in the field. However only about 20% of them are complete so far and he still hasn't done chibi-style models for some key characters like Cid, Vince, and Elena. I started off going with the "realistic models" but have now settled on Ninostyle Chibi (where available) and vanilla models otherwise. It's a good balance.
It's all very easy to toggle on and off with 7th heaven so just download the modules and then you can can change things around to your heart's content until you hit your personal sweetspot.
Thanks, just installed 7th Heaven and following the mods list order to download, starting with Miscellaneous.
As for the Ninostyle, I think it looks good but since it's incomplete I'll go with the other, for consistency's sake. I'll make sure to check it out once done though!
EDIT: Is this normal that the 7th Heaven app warns me that the Animation mod could potentially harm my computer?? Not sure how to feel about that. :lol
Yes, the warning is normal. Don't mind it, it's not going to harm your computer in anyway.
Crichton is right, so head his advice. Download every package from the author "Quimm community"; everything you need is there. The only one you can forgo is Miscellaneous, it contains a couple of incomplete mods. Project Edge is cool, but only like 20% complete, and the textures are so big that they cause memory issues for a lot of computers, so don't activate it.
Basically, downlaod every Quimm Community package and customize them to your liking. New Threat is in the Gameplay package, but it's an older version. You should get the IRO from the thread on Quimm (I linked to it earlier in the thread).
Make sure you auto-sort the mods after having them all installed, and always run 7th Heaven in administrator mode. Always. You should turn on the setting permanently for the program by going into the exe's compatibility menu.
Thanks, just did all that!
Still downloading everything, I'm at the Media mod now, it all makes the game quite heavier!
Just to be 100% clear- you still do want Ninostyle when selecting field and battle mods inside Seventh Heaven. He's the one who made the character models look like Nomura concept art. The chibi thing is another, separate mod he is working on.
But you will want to use Kaldashara for anything that doesn't have Ninostyle available so that you get the realistic proportions across the board.
Gotcha, thanks.
Have a problem now, the Field Texture mod always blocks at some point via the 7th Heaven app...I tried to restart the program but it always end up getting stuck at around 20% of the download, all the others had no issues.
Can I download it separately elsewhere and just add it to a folder?
Dunno if you have a DS4 but I used DS4Windows to remap the d-pad to the analog stick
Maybe try downloading here and then use the installer to make an IRO file. Once you have the IRO just import it to 7th Heaven. I believe you need to use the PNG option in the installer because FFNx isn't supported in 7th Heaven yet.
If your pad isn't working at all, go into "Set up USB Game Controllers" in Windows, select the Xbox controller, click "Advanced" and make sure it is selected as your preferred controller. Happened to me with FF7 too.

Yeah downloading all of the mods takes a lot of space, but it's worth it, honestly. There's so much good stuff in there.
Downloading via the mod manager can be really slow and also just stop occasionally too. You can download the mods also from here http://7thheaven.rocks which has a couple mirrors and torrent links.
I didn't have a problem with 7th Heaven, it was the field textures mods that weren't working except for remako. That's what I've been using.
Dunno why I never got the notification for this, lol
Uh, unfortunately, I'm probably gonna have to put it on hold until I either get a new computer or figure out the issue with getting the game to start up properly, it seems switching to Satsuki didn't fully fix the issue and now I'm having trouble getting the game to start even without the field texture mods.
At this point, I'm pretty sure it's an issue with my system tbh.
