Hello and welcome to my HCTP mod collection.
Below you will find all of the HCTP mods that I have been working on. You can download any of the mods below and use/modify them freely; if you would like to use any of my mods in your own mods just be sure to inform and credit me. In order to download a mod just press its name to open the spoiler tag, and press on its name/description within the spoiler tag and it will take you to the Mega website. The newest creations will be given either a -NEW- or -NEW PREVIEW- tag.
The main tools you need to install these mods are PAC Editor which is available for free on this forum, and the PAC list for HCTP (also found on this forum). If you don't want to bother with learning how to mod, I have released a free mod entitled "HCTP 2X" that includes almost every mod listed below and more features in one ISO file.
"HCTP 2X" MOD
Here it is at last. I have finally gotten around to compiling and releasing my mod for HCTP. This project started off back in March of this year with me first learning how to make some attires for this game. Over the past six months I have learnt a great deal about modding from the likes of MepsiPax, Aguila316, KOFHER077, Kodeine and Ryukumma in particular. I want to say thank you to everyone that has ever followed and complimented my modding work and been so very patient with me over this mods long development. I wanted to release a bug-free mod that showcases my best work and the best work of the modding community as a whole, and I believe that I have achieved just that.
Why did I make this mod? Well, I feel that for as brilliant a game that HCTP is, it did fall short in a few area. When compared to the breadth of features offered in the previous game SYM, there were some obvious steps backwards taken by the developers pertaining to the attire count, art style, lack of commentary and selection renders. While some of these backwards steps can be chalked up to a lack of development time, others were a more stylistic choice. My mod "HCTP 2X" aims to present HCTP as it should have been with more attires, improved and retextured/resculpted wrestler models, partially added commentary and real-life selection pictures. This version of my mod has been a six month project that is still only 90% done and is currently at version one. I will release an update to my mod later this year that will add in some more attires and other changes that I will remain mum about for now. The Youtuber Sean O'Connor has posted many videos showcasing my mod in an earlier stage and some in its current Version 1 form. I will also post that earlier beta version of my mod here just for fun, because I know that some will find it interesting how my mod has changed over its development based on user feedback and suggestions.
Here are some previews of my mod for you all to enjoy along with download links to the Version 1 and the earlier beta of my mod right below. Enjoy.

FAQ's
All textures are my own or modified from previous game textures. For the wrestlers with high and low-poly slots (RVD, HBK, Y2J etc), I have included low and high-poly slots where possible. For all other wrestlers, all of my attire mods can be used in both high and low poly slots as none of them exceed 550KB in size and will work in multi-man matches as long as all other wrestlers in the match are also the appropriate file size.
I'm also open to attire suggestions and I will upload them here as they are completed. My end goal is to create a minimum of 5 alternate attires per wrestler in HCTP which includes backstage, street and ring attires all with accurate logos and colors.
Thank you all for still loving and playing these games like I do.
Total attire count is currently - 112

Loading Screens
Inject the available Brock tm2 screen as a BPE over the original bpe file found in "_startup.pac". As for the Jeff tm2 screen, inject it over any tim2 ranging from 0000.tim2 - 001A in "MENU.pac". Use PAC Editor to install both of these screens.
Custom Selection Pictures
Write the included "SPFA.pac" over the original "SPFA.pac" in "MENU.pac" using PAC Editor. I have separate PAC files for two-man matches and Rumbles coming soon.

FAQ's
- Is this mod free or do I need to pay for it? This mod is completely free and is not a paid mod. If anyone tells you otherwise, they are a dumb dumb.
- But I want to give you money for your hard work Nero619, your mod brought my dog back to life and repaired my marriage. Can't you please accept my money? Listen up jackass, save that money of yours up and go get yourself a college education so that you can move out and stop mooching off of your parents like the fat, yellow bellied bottom feeder that you are. Seriously, if you truly want to part with your money give it to your local food shelter, trust me, in this current pandemic many have lost their jobs and need the help. I being the rich heir to a Nigerian prince's fortune, don't need your dirty money and am fine without it.
- How do I install this mod? You play this mod directly off of the included ISO and copy the included save file onto your memory card through USB if you are playing on PS2, or use the appropriate premade memory cards I have included if you are playing on either PCSX2 or PS3. If you are a dumbass noob and experience issues when either launching or playing my mod, don't come crying and whining to me like the prissy bitch that you are and instead please first use the internet (i.e. Google or Bing if you hate yourself) to research and solve your issue. Trust me, your issues will have most likely been addressed in some forum post on another website. I fully stand behind my mod's quality and assure you that there are no bugs or issues with it that affect its ability to boot and play. Only if after extensively consulting the internet you still can't get the mod to work, please message me on Discord or the LGM forums so that I can feel like some white chick on Facebook being bombarded with all these Indian guys sliding into my DMs.
- Is every mod listed in the lower sections of this page included in your mod? No, but almost all of them are and there are many more mods in my "HCTP 2X" mod that are not listed here (see poster above). The lower sections of this page are for if you want to easily download and access any of my individual created mods.
- Is Test still dead? Sadly, yes :'(.
- Does this mod work on a real PS2, PS3 or PS4? Yes, it does. If you decide to play my mod on a real PS2 system, please try to play it over your network, burned on a disc or via internal hard drive on a fat PS2. I highly recommend NOT playing the game off of an external HDD drive as the PS2's USB 1.1 port is very weak and not meant for playing video games, it is just meant for USB accessories (i.e. mouse, keyboard, etc.)
- Does this mod restore the cut commentary option from HCTP? Not quite, I have added some of the cut HCTP commentary lines found on the SVR Public Beta on top of the crowd chants. So this means that only the wrestlers with existing crowd chants will have commentary lines.
- Why did you replace Jimmy Snuka with Jeff Hardy? Two words, Nancy Argentino.
- Can I use my normal HCTP save game file? No, sadly the mod is not compatible with save game files from the base game, older "HCTP 2X" versions, or other mods, due to the added and updated content.
- Will you add Jeff Hardy, Ultimate Warrior or Hulk Hogan's cut HCTP models back into the game? No, those models are not known to exist publicly so I can't add them. I have added Jeff Hardy's SYM model with attires and conversions done by Aguila316 and MepsiPax respectively. I have also made and posted custom recreation models for Hogan and Warrior here as individual downloads within the "Individual Attire Downloads" section of this thread.
- How do I learn to mod? First pay me $69 and then we'll talk. Seriously though, there are many modding tutorials on YouTube and even on this forum that helped me out a lot if you can't afford the $69.
- Why didn't you add (insert attire here) to the mod? Well, HCTP seems to have an attire limit of around 201 attires and I am currently sitting at 198 attires and the game will soon buckle under its weight if I add more attires. I do take attire requests though and can include separate attires in the Individual Attire Downloads section.
- Why are you such a nice guy, Nero619? Because I was programmed that way, *beep-boop*.
- Are the newly created wrestlers (i.e. Stamboli, Jamal, Rosey etc.) included in your "HCTP 2X" mod? No. I have included Jeff Hardy in place of Jimmy Snuka in my mod, but I have not included any other new wrestlers in my mod. You are free to add them yourselves using the appropriate files that I have provided and tools found on this forum.
- Are you going to change (a certain particular detail)? If it is a bug, yes. Otherwise, probably not, as this mod is focusing on bug fixes and adding new content. There are more fixes still to be done, so I don't have enough time to arbitrarily change other things. However, the appropriate mod tools and tutorials are widely available so these changes can be made as other mods by other people.
- Can I take and use a mod from your "HCTP 2X" mod that isn't included in the other sections of this page? Absolutely you ugly fuck. As mentioned above, uploading new attires with photos, descriptions and links is a mind-numbing process that I wish on no other soul, so you can take anything from my mod that I made and use it as long as you credit me. As for using mods that are credited to other modders in the "HCTP Mod Credits" document, please contact those modders whose mods you would like to use first before using them.
- Can I edit your mod and/or use your mod as a base for my own mod? Sure, just ask first and credit me.
- Can I stream or upload videos of your mod? Of course you dipshit. If however you modify my mod in any way before recording it please point out and describe what you have changed in the video description or during the video.
- Can I extract textures from your mods and/or can you provide them? Sure dumbfuck. You are welcome to use my mod textures as long as you credit me. I won't provide my textures as PNG format since they are very easy to obtain and convert yourself from PAC files and I want you to learn something for once you lazy shit. Just use X-packer to export the textures out of the PAC file and then use OPTPiX iMageStudio or Noesis to open and convert the TM2 image files.
- What will be in next update for this mod? Expect more attires, updated multi-man/season selection pictures, arena and backstage retextures, model sculpt changes, more active commentary lines, more new loading screens, music in the free slots, minor attribute adjustments and bug fixes.
- When will the update for this mod arrive? I don't fucking know you shit-for-brains, stop asking me so many questions! Some time later this year or early 2022 you bastard!
