Thief Deadly Shadows: Sneaky Upgrade and FM Setup

So you bought the 3rd game in this great stealth series and it doesn't work at all or has weird glitches and bugs? Or maybe you just want the mid level loading screens to be gone?

Well it's actually all very simple and can be done very quickly!

STEP 1: Make sure to have a fresh Install of the game

STEP 2: Go here and download the Sneaky Upgrade Fat edition: http://www.moddb.com/mods/thief-3-sneaky-upgrade/downloads/sneaky-upgrade-fat-edition

STEP 3: Run the installer and let it make shortcuts for the FM loader(custom missions) and the Sneaky Tweaker.

STEP 4: Once that is done run the game and select your settings and exit. Then open the Sneaky tweaker and change stuff like what the menus look like, what garret looks like and stuf like your FOV and then save and exit.

STEP 5: Enjoy your great stealth game with less loading screens, a lot less bugs, widescreen, faster loading and slighlty better graphics!

Bonus: To do fan missions make a random folder somwhere and call it ThiefDS FMs(or whatever you prefer) and then open the FM Selector shortcut. It'll ask for a archive path, choose the folder you just made. So when you download FMs just put them in there and they'll pop up!

That's it! Thank you for checking out my guide and thank you to Ion storm and the mod creators. Now get out of here Taffers!

So I recently reinstalled the game and installed the latest upgrade from Nexus (NOT from ModDB), but I still can't adjust the gamma at all (adjusting it did absolutely nothing before the upgrade either. The darks are very dark and almost too dark to see)


...Just a thought/conjecture (for anyone familiar with VMware/virtualization): would it maybe be possible to use an OS virtual machine to emulate Win XP so it will run perfectly? Is it even possible to install Steam and Thief DS on a Win XP VM, or would that be too hardware intensive for it to run smoothly?

Already have, thanks again!)

You're welcome, hope you have fun with it

[aphek8]

Yeah, I just needed to reboot steam, thx dude!

[DukeoftheAges]

The game with the mod should work fine on steam like normal, no need to change anything.

[MrFunnyman]

It's pretty easy and simple to install the mod

[aphek8]

I want to play this game using the mod, directly from steam, like using launch options (-smth), is there any way to do it?
