BioMod is an extension of Y|yukichigai's excellent Shifter mod for Deus Ex. While I still think Shifter is a definite improvement over the original game, I sometimes felt while playing it that it was too conservative for my tastes. Eventually I decided to make my own mod which would contain some radical changes that might give some people pause, but would hopefully breathe new life into the game for everyone else.
As the name suggests, BioMod is primarily concerned with Deus Ex's augmentations, with the aim of making them more balanced, but also a lot easier to manage. Most augs are now automated, using energy only when they're actually doing their jobs. Some augs that were less useful or that would be a pain to manage have been made free or given extra abilities, while those that I thought were un-salvageable have been replaced with entirely new augs.
In addition to the augmentation system, BioMod also makes some general gameplay changes, such as the addition of pickpocketing, an autosave feature, achievement-like challenges, and a Thief style ledge grabbing system.

The game crashes at the south dock of Liberty Island, is there any way to fix it?
Has anybody else had trouble with BioMod making certain menus (i.e. ones it either modified of added) completely transparent?
Here's an example of what I mean:
Steamcommunity.com
Does anybody have any idea what might be causing it?
Is there a full list of changes or an official documentation somewhere? Or is that it up there in the Summary? ↑
And does the athletics skill + speed enhancement = even more speed than speed enhancement alone?
Is there a mod that makes it so energy automatically recharges bit by bit over time? That's something that I've always wanted in the original Deus Ex (and I doubt I'm alone). Anyhow, thanks for this awesome mod man! Keep up the good work!

How do I fix my save after uninstalling this mod?

Google said this couldn't be done, but since then BioMod has been updated etc. YES, it does work with HDTP and New Vision. Here is how.
Install HDTP and New Vision, the order really doesn't matter, and say yes to Kentie.
Install BioMod as the instructions in the README says.
Now, Kentie will load DeusEx.u from HDTP, so go into your Deus Ex installation folder, then HDTP/System and rename DeusEx.u to say _DeusEx.u . Now Kentie will use Biomods DeusEx.u which is located in the System folder. Since BioMod is based on the newest Shifter it will detect the new HDTP textures and use those, great.
Happy gaming.
Thank you.
