Fluffy Manager 5000 is a mod manager for RE3 and other games (mostly Capcom titles). It handles the installing and uninstalling of mods, and as of right now, it's the only way of installing mods for RE3 due to how RE Engine handles asset loading. Fluffy Manager also has other features (like downloading mods or playing a puzzle game based on RE3).

Basic usage:

• Extract the mod manager anywhere (if you're upgrading from an old version, simply extract it over the older version).
  
• Run modmanager.exe and select Resident Evil 3 as title.
  
• Drag and drop mods (they are distributed as RAR files) directly onto the Fluffy Manager window.
  
• Click on "Mod list" and click on mods to install (or uninstall) them.

Capcom released a new version of RE3 on 14/06/2022 that adds ray tracing support. This new build runs on a much newer version of the RE Engine, which meant a lot of asset formats had changed and that made most mods incompatible.

I've updated Fluffy Manager to support automatically converting some mods (mods that only affect textures, sound effects, or text will be converted), and some modders are updating their old mods to work the new RT build, but the vast majority of mods will most likely remain incompatible.

In order to use old mods, I suggest rolling back to the previous non-RT build. Instructions on how to do so can be found here: https://steamproxy.net/games/883710/announcements/detail/3344500154867780166

As a side note, the new RT build contains quite a few bugs: AA is partially broken, performance is worse, image quality slider does not work, and some other issues. So unless you really want to use the new ray traced lighting/reflections, I would recommend rolling back even if you don't care about mods.

You can download various RE3 mods directly via the mod manager itself by selecting "Download mods" on the right part of the interface.
