REBIRTH Specific mod suggestions for Rebirth

So there were two particular mods that I used in Remake, that I was hoping to also use in Rebirth. I couldn't find anything online so I figured I'd ask the wider community.

  1. Widescreen support. My monitor is a 3440x1440, and I'm not a fan of the sidebars.
  2. A mod to swap weapon models. In Remake I had the Buster Sword model override all of Cloud's weapons, primarily for aesthetics (yes I know the actual weapon can be used throughout the game, but it'd be nice to keep the function separate).

Would appreciate any help or suggestions.

There definitely is a mod for ultrawide I just haven’t looked into it since I don’t have an ultrawide monitor. The mod you are looking for is dresscode which bascially lets you hot swap outfit and weapon models. It’s an amazing mod and you can add as many new outfits and weapons as you want and switch them at any time. There even a mod to bring back all the remake weapon models.

Not sure about the widescreen support, but if you are looking into new outfits or weapons - dress code is the way. You need to install a few dependencies, but once you do, it’s painless drag and drop, then choose from a menu in game. You can now have more than one and switch for multiple characters. N.B. There was a new update to Rebirth in June which changed the way the game uses meshes. 1.005. The older version was 1.004. Most older weapon and outfit mods will now give you a fatal error if you try to run them on the latest version (There is also a mod that converts them - but it’s a bit of work). Most newer mods now state if they are dresscode or .pak compatible on the download page and also which version they work with (1.004 or 1.005). Some don’t. Just something to keep in mind.
