How to install multiple mods?

[Skeptik]

If you have more than one mod that uses the "data2.pak" name, do you just rename one of the mod files from "data2.pak" to "data3.pak"? Or is there something else I'm missing?

That *should* be fine if the mods you are using are altering different files within the game. If the mods alter the same files then it will conflict and may not work (if that makes sense). You'd have to check the .pak files manually or check the mod compatibility from the author if they were kind enough to share that information.

I'm using the zombie grab one (literally the only way I can play this game anymore) -data2.pak and the "don't make me struggle" mod (data2.pak I renamed to data3.pak)

It sounds like they should be fine to just rename. If it doesn't work for you, use WINRAR to open the files to see which files each mod changes. Hopefully if they do modify the same files it might be possible to merge the two files into one file if they change different values within the file.

I feel you wanting to mod the game to play your way, I did have the press and hold option turned on until I realised it meant that I could never escape from a Volatile pounce, so turned mashing back on.

With the Zombie grabs, I've got a lot better recently at dodging the grabby biters. It does give the game more of that DL1 feel, but as others have said DL1 had more than button mashing as an escape option.

Aside from the "unfair feeling" grabs (super speedy, upwards and through walls), it can be super satisfying getting the timing right to dodge the incoming grab or time the swing to hit and interrupt!

I'm using about five mods which stably working together. You just have to rename another modification into the next number.
For example:
Data0.pak
Data2.pak
Data3.pak
Data4.pak
Data5.pak
Data.6pak
And etc.
