To install the mod, extract the contents of the archive (Sam2Renovation folder, Sam2Renovation.mod and Sam2Renovation.nfo) in "Serious Sam 2\Content" folder

This mod is designed for the latest Steam version. Also, this mod is designed for the ratio of the screen 16:9, keep in mind (4:3 looks unpleasant, but you can install addon).

After you configure the graphics settings it is recommended type in the console tex_fLODBias=-2, for improve graphics (or -1, if it too sharply).
Also recommended turn on a vertical weapon list, instead of the standard horizontal (Profile - Advanced management - Weapons list - Vertical).
