There’s nothing wrong with seeing the similarities between Silent Hill 2 and Resident Evil 4. Both feature a great deal of horror and action, and the two games shouldn’t be pitted against each other in insult. They’re both great games with equally great protagonists, so why not bring Leon Kennedy into the town of Silent Hill?

This mod simply replaces the character model of James Sunderland with Leon from the Resident Evil 4 remake, bringing forth another horror-series remake icon into yet another remake.

Maria is one of the many characters who look great in the Silent Hill 2 remake, but for players who prefer a classic touch of nostalgia, the Original Maria Outfit mod from Swiz19 might be for them. While the mod does feature optional cosmetics for Maria, the best part of it comes from the fact it brings back Maria’s original outfit, something that was jokingly teased back at Jacks Inn.

On the topic of nostalgia, what better way to re-experience Silent Hill 2 than with the original model for James Sunderland?

This mod is a character model replacement and comes complete with facial animations, and while it might be a tad buggy, it’s something that NorskPL will improve at a later time, and it’s a great first character model swap mod, especially for those who can’t bear to be without 2001 James.

Perhaps one of the most bizarre mods out there, FrancisLouis provides players with a new model for the Steel Pipe melee weapon, and it’s none other than the character model of Mary, James’ dead wife.
