This mod changes the score ranking system in "The Unleashed Project" to be more in line with what it originally was in Sonic Unleashed. That's right - this is a mod of a mod.

WHAT IS THIS?
The original "Unleashed Project" mod for Sonic Generations features extremely difficult score ranks, which are much, much different from the way they were in Sonic Unleashed. To some people, such as myself, they are too difficult to complete. S-Ranks Unleashed attempts to translate/restore the original score ranking system from Sonic Unleashed back in to "The Unleashed Project" mod.
DIFFERENCES IN SCORING
Sonic Unleashed calculates your final level score based on multiple factors, including Time, Rings, Enemies Defeated, and QTE accuracy. This process was greatly simplified for Sonic Generations, which calculates your final level score mostly based on how quickly you can get to the finish line, with a small score bonus for finishing a stage while holding more than 100 rings. Because of this, there is no exact way to translate scores directly between the two games - but I have done my best to "feel" the most accurate score out, based on how difficult I found it to be to get certain good grades in Sonic Unleashed.
INSTALLATION
To use S-Ranks Unleashed, place the "S-RanksUnleashed" folder in to your Sonic Generations Mod Directory. This is usually located at something like
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\sonic generations\mods
If you do not have a mods directory, you need to have SonicGMI installed - which comes with The Unleashed Project (it can also be downloaded separately, here). As a reminder, this mod requires The Unleashed Project to function properly, so you need to have that set up and ready to go before you can use this.
Once the folder is extracted to the proper directory, open SonicGMI and enable "S-Ranks Unleashed" in your mod listing. S-Ranks Unleashed MUST be loaded AFTER "The Unleashed Project" for the changes to properly take effect. By default, this means that "S-Ranks Unleashed" should be the very first item, all the way at the top of your mod list.
UNIQUE SAVE FILE VERSION
This version of S-Ranks Unleashed is for people who do not want to contaminate scores between this mod and "The Unleashed Project". When using the "Unique Save File Version" of S-Ranks Unleashed, it will keep its own save file separated from "The Unleashed Project". Any progress from "The Unleashed Project" will not carry over to this alternate version of S-Ranks Unleashed. [Download here]

It was picked up as a trojan by Windows Defender. Any help with this?
When getting the Unleashed project, I was excited with being able to play Sonic Unleashed as I've never played it before. Since I heard it's meant to be a recreation of the best parts of the game, I actually thought that the ranking system was as difficult at the mod implied.
Viewing this page made me realise that this isn't the case and kind of upsets me on that fact, not because I'm a cry baby but because I'm a guy who is impressed by details, both big and small. I'll have exceptions but that's if it's due to hardware limitations or just flat out being unable to port it, but a ranking system is something that seems to bug me!
Do I need to be playing on the Unleashed Project to use this mod? Or do I just need to have it in the mods folder with this mod? (I want to use this ranking for Sonic Generations stages)
This is only for The Unleashed Project. Using it with default Sonic Generations may have undesired results.
(Sorry that it took so long to respond.)
I was never a fan of Sonic and probably never played any of the games, but even I have to admire the dedication put into even such a little thing, especially with that promo video explaining everything clearly with a calm voice and logic even a non-player like me can understand, and with custom animation and all.
Other small mod/addon developers, take notes!
(No, not you nude mod creators, go back to you holes and shush.)

I Tryed The Mod in Windmile Isle, and it showed me an A Rank. HELP!
I already made it pretty significantly easier. I'm trying to replicate the original Sonic Unleashed ranking, that's all. If you can't get an S-Rank, I'm sorry, I guess?
I'll continue to get feedback from others, and if there's enough of a response to something being wrong, I will try and tweak the scores a bit.

I understand
Believe,NOW it's possible to get S-rank without turning your nerves and fingers into the knot.
Never mind, i was wrong. Dragon Road wasting too much time, especially on platforming sections.
