No Snakes

⚙️ Prerequisites and installation

**MUST-HAVE TOOL:** Lenny's Mod Loader

**Installation steps:**

  • Extract the `No Snakes.zip` file into your `lml` folder (path: `//lml/`).

---

🧪 How to quickly test whether the module is effective?

Use the Rampage Trainer to spawn all snakes. If none of the 14 species of snakes spawn, then they won't appear in the wild. If the snake still appears, you have other mods installed that also use the `metapeds.ymt` file, please temporarily disable them via the LML Mod Manager for testing.

⚠️ Known issues

  • **Théâtre de Saint-Denis Performance Conflict:** At the **Théâtre Râleur** Theater in Saint-Denis, if the "Mysterious Maya" (snake dance/sword dance performer) is scheduled to perform, with this mod enabled, the player may not be able to enter the main theater door after paying $2.
  • *Note: Performers appear to be randomly assigned. In one test, when "Mysterious Maya" was not scheduled, it was possible to enter normally even though the mod was enabled. *(Thanks to goldenplaysterraria for pointing this out)

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
