An epic, expansive Sonic Generations custom level with multiple routes, a lot of runtime, and way more visual variety than its name or preview thumbnail above may initially give away. This is considered to be one of, if not the best Generations custom level out right now, so definitely give this one a try! Water Palace Recamped by GoalRingMod27 Image Credit: Goalringmod27 on GameBanana As with all "Trophy Room" type things that are 1-offs, this can't really be collected, but it should certainly be looked at and archived here like this. Very interesting.

That aside, there really isn’t much else to say about it. It’s good and you should have it if you’re hoping to mod Sonic Generations or other Sonic games on PC. BetterFXPipeline by Skyth Race across five massive overworld islands, each with their own unique action-platforming challenges and hidden secrets to uncover. Sonic Generations succeeds Sonic Unleashed (and Colors, a Wii-exclusive with similar gameplay), and released on the same consoles with a much more stable 30 FPS cap. However, it did seemingly lose some of the high-quality shading introduced with Unleashed, likely to preserve performance on the console hardware.Silver lining: the Classic Sonic Improvement Mod works hand-in-hand with this mod (as long as you load it with a lower priority than this one), which I’ve confirmed in my own runs and testing without issue. Shivery Mountainsides by GoalRingMod27 There has been a (admiteddly terrible) Sonic water gun...but now here is a much better Sonic Foam Darts Gun! With the addition of “The Complete Addon” and my above recommended mods, you get a version of the Unleashed Project that is even more accurate to the original enemies and level design of Sonic Unleashed. This is a little kids 3 wheel fun play scooter. There are Sonic details all over for an exciting look. Even the rubber grips on the handle bars have Sonic's logo on there. The step board area has a CG STK portrait on there, the wheels light up red and blue when they spin, and there's an extra logo on the front plastic bumper. The front bar is also covered in CG portraits and blue/lines.

UI Codes: Minor changes to HUD, including removing HUD should you wish to play HUDless or want to collect screencaps/footage/etc. One of the absolute must-have Sonic Generations mods on PC is Better FxPipeline. With Better FXPipeline, you can make several improvements to Generations’ graphics and effects all at once. There are also many fixes made to effects that otherwise don’t work properly at high resolutions, like depth of field or bloom glare.

Despite being named The Complete Add-On, this mod also has a dependency on a mod called “SU Restorations”. I’ve included a link to this one later in the article, too, since you can technically just skip the Add-On and run the Unleashed Project on its own. Replaces the low-quality pre-rendered cutscenes of the PC and Xbox versions of Generations with the higher-quality (720p) pre-rendered cutscenes of the PS3 version of Generations. Recommended since this is the only way to improve the quality of the pre-renders on PC, which are otherwise noticeably lower-res than basically any common PC resolution. High-Res HUD Mod by JoeT.E.

At the time of writing it is only a limited demo with support for 3 Modern stages (SS, SH, CC) and the 3 Rival Bosses of the game, but it seems quite promising, so I saw fit to include it here.

If you’re noticing a trend in these custom levels toward water and ice theming, you aren’t alone: I think the reason is for art direction purposes. Should any custom assets need to be made, it’s easier to build around big whites and blues than the typically louder, more busy theming of non-wintery levels in the Hedgehog Engine.

Except instead of using Sega’s assets, one very determined fan remade Mystic Cave in Generations in the same spirit that other iconic stages were recreated in Generations. While the graphics are obviously lower-fidelity, the same gameplay systems were in place on the slower platforms, and with the Sonic Unwiished + mod, you can play the definitive version of these stages. There will still be a downgrade in texture and model quality in comparison to the PS360 Unleashed content, though.
