It's no secret that the game Saints Row 3 became one of the loudest not only in the year of its release, but also for a much longer period of time. The fact is that it was scandalous in all directions at once. Here there is cruelty, and intimate scenes, and the most amazing types of weapons, and profanity, and much more.
However, the problem lies in the intimate scenes, since the gamers naturally turned out to be unhappy with the censorship. Accordingly, questions immediately began to appear about how to remove censorship in Saints Row 3. Fortunately, it turned out to be possible. This is what will be discussed in this article. You will learn not only how to remove censorship in Saints Row 3, but also how to make the game more impressive in uncensored mode.
Censorship in the game
So, if you are reading this article, then you are also interested in the question of how to remove censorship in Saints Row 3. But in order to figure it out, you need to understand what exactly you will be cleaning. And we are talking about those squares that cover the intimate places of girls when they appear naked on the screens. This annoys a lot of people who want maximum realism from the gameplay. Naturally, they start looking for a way out of the situation and try to figure out how to remove censorship in Saints Row 3. So, let's solve this problem.
Time to remove censorship
If you want to see the game Saints Row 3 uncensored, then you looked to the right place. After all, now you will learn how to turn off the display of squares in the game. It turns out that this is done quite simply. You need to find the folder where this game is installed on your computer, and then find in it a file called shaders_pc. This is what you need to finally get rid of annoying censorship. How to do it?
Open this file using Notepad, as it contains the game code. Naturally, you do not need to understand everything that you see in front of you. Your goal is to find one line that contains the following text: datashadersstandardsr2-pixelate_c.fxo_pc. What should be done with it? As you might have guessed, you need to remove it completely. After that, save the document and start the game. That's all! You have completely disabled the censorship in Saints Row 3. However, it is unlikely that you can see joy and satisfaction on your face now.
The thing is that this action allows you to remove the textures of the squares, but the developers did not draw anything under them! Therefore, the censorship was turned off after the fact, but did not give the desired result. Can't you give the game a more digestible look? It turns out you can do it!
Modifications
The only cure for Saints Row 3 is mods. You will have to use them to remove the squares, but at the same time get a visual result. There are quite a few mods out there, but you should check each one for viruses before you start the installation, as you can do a lot of harm to yourself.
Using mods
Mods on Saints Row 3 that allow you to remove censorship look and act the same in most cases. How exactly? The mod is always enclosed in an archive that you need to download from the Internet and then unpack. After that, you need to copy everything that was in the archive, and then copy it to the game folder. Then you can safely launch the game and enjoy the result.
Naturally, you should be very careful about such modifications, because as a result, the game receives content that is unsuitable for viewing by persons under eighteen years of age. Therefore, you need to remember that you install this modification at your own peril and risk. The problem lies not only in the fairly high chances of infecting your computer with viruses, but also in the rating of the game. The fact is that you have no one to ask if a child sees obscene content of the game, because the modification is not official content. Accordingly, the developers and publishers of the game are not responsible for it.
Otherwise, this mod can significantly increase the realism of what is happening on the screen and save you from annoying squares that spoil the impression of the game. Of course, this is far from the only modification that is available to you for installation on this game, but it is the mod that eliminates the squares that is the most popular and demanded. Now you can play without any problems!
The Super Fast Cars and VTOLs + modification gives your cars more power and the F-69 accelerates enough to make it a normal fighter. Your thirst for lightning speed will also be satisfied by adjusting torque, gear ratios, drift speed and more. It also removes the annoying camera shake when you rush around Steelport at top speed, and prevents your flight from stopping when you get out of the car to pile on guys who don't respect the Saints.
Permanently unlocking temporary weapons
Nothing is more frustrating than the resulting large-caliber toy, which is quickly picked up at the end of the mission. Fans of temporary weapons in Saints Row: The Third will appreciate how Snipe has fixed this issue with a mod that reveals all weapons not available at the Friendly Fire store in the area. Including the Minigun, the Incinerator, the GL G20 Grenade Launcher, and the much-loved Impact Hammer.
Eradicator 1.0
If you need absolute strength to wreak total destruction throughout the city, this mod is for you. The standard attack of the Cyberblaster (which, by the way, is suspiciously similar to the blaster from Mega Man), this modification replaces with the power of the fighter's weapons. You won't have much left - because the weapon is causing unprecedented destruction. In the video above, you can see it in action. It's just a bomb.
Daedalus, Thermopylae and KABAN at the end of the game
After passing Saints Row: The Third on missions, some interesting places are removed from the city. In particular, the aircraft carrier of the KABAN organization "Thermopylae" and their flying base "Daedalus", which this modification returns to the game. And if you need more live targets to test your arsenal, this mod brings back the KABAN patrols around your headquarters. In addition, the modification contains a number of other improvements to the game, which can be found on its page.
ExcessiveSR3
Last but not least, the mod on our list is the Excessive SR3. It creates a completely outrageous feeling and includes some of the modifications discussed above, as well as a number of others with which you will get a stronger biting shark launcher, automatic pistols. heights, more smelly gas emissions, modified inventory slots, and more.
Recently, it is very fashionable to rivet thousands of various DLCs to each new toy. The now deceased THQ is no exception in this matter and has released as many as 25 add-ons to Saints Row: The Third. Now the game and the buns for it are sold as a single set and is called the Full Package.

This mod compilation contains several mods that seriously improve the gameplay in Saints Row: The Third by overhauling the game "s weapons, AI, spawning, weather, and taunts in order to provide you with a much more entertaining, dynamic, and polished Saints Row 3 experience without straying too far from the feel of vanilla SR3!
These mods are included in the compilation:
Avatar Rampage v4: Take control of the giant dragon avatar from the "deckers.die" mission and wreak Havoc in Steelport!
Vehicle Camera First Person Mod v3: (With FOV Fix): Drive vehicles in first person, and enjoy SR3 with an FOV more appropriate for high resolution monitors.
NPC Behavior and Spawn Mod v64: Probably the best mod ever for Saints Row 3. This mod overhauls the spawns, AI, gangs, police and much more to dramatically improve Steelport "s appearance and make it feel much more alive. Hundreds of new vehicles and pedestrians now spawn, and improved AI will give you much more emergent gameplay: pedestrians will often do random and hilarious things, one small fight on the street can evolve into total chaos!
Shitface "s Weapon Re-Balance Mod v3.5 .3: This mod adds new weapons that you can add to your inventory, new weapon upgrades, and dramatically improves the functionality of all weapons, giving many of them better physics and effects. Also improves the destructo-physics for many objects on the street (garbage cans, fences, etc) and gives the firetruck a flamethrower! This mod also adjusts the prices of some properties and upgrades to balance out the economy. You "ll need to manage your money more carefully and won" t be sitting on mountains of useless cash before you "re close to finishing the game!
Alternate Times of Day + Enhanced Weather v5.3: Seriously improves the weather system in SR3. The weather will now change much more often, with many different sky and lighting settings added to make the game look better. Also includes different sky settings that you can choose from. I "d highly recommend using Idolninja" s Sandbox + mod with this for the day / night cycle.
Extended Taunts v1.4: Adds around 40 new taunts for you to customize your character with!
Super Cat & Mouse: Improves the "Cat and Mouse" minigame by adding many new vehicle combinations!
Increased Property Prices: Combined with the weapon upgrade price increases in my weapons mod, this allows you to truly feel the economic downturn in Steelport. You "ll need to spend your money more carefully, and won" t end up owning every property and upgrade with nothing else to spend your cash on by level 20.
Starting a new game is strongly advised. Using this mod pack with a pirated version will cause the game to crash. Why not just buy it anyway? It "s like 5 bucks.
The first question is how to play a pirate coo-tiv? Well, let's start with this)))Preparing the game for launch:
Install a version of the game that works without steam. I recommend installing the SKIDROW scene release, you can download it.
Do not install the game with Phoenix, otherwise there will be no textures during gameplay!
Put the fix that is attached to the object.
Do not place the crack on top of the fix, otherwise the multiplayer will not work!
Start the game through "Launcher.exe". -> Select language and confirm.
Launch and network play:
Start Tunngle and go to the room where this game is played.
Run "game_launcher.exe" in the root folder of the game. -> Select the version of the game to run (DX9 or DX10 / 11).
Server creation:
Co-op Campaign -> LAN Play -> New Game / Load Game -> Wait for the second player and start the game.
Connection:
Co-op campaign -> Local network play -> Find a game -> Connect to the required server from the list.

A couple of tips on this issue, taken from my own experience.
In the game folder there is a display.ini file, to increase performance, without much loss of quality, you can do the following in it, having previously opened it with notepad:
String ShadowDetail = default 1024, you can put 512 (shadow resolution)
Line MotionBlur = true by default, set to false, removes subtle blur, while increasing fps
The line RefreshRate = 60 by default, set 30. On consoles, 30, one might say, is considered the standard, so everything is ok.
At the same time, in the display.ini properties, set the read-only checkbox, otherwise, when entering the options in the game itself, everything will be reset to default.
Some have slightly improved performance when running with vista sp2 compatibility.
For those who have problems with performance on processors higher than with 2 cores, try setting only core 0 and core 1 in the manager after starting the game
Maybe the captain's advice is a little, but those who do not know how to handle ini files may be useful.
Here are all the problems I know and their solutions:
Brightness is not adjusted in Saints Row: The Third:
Yes, there is a bug in the game that prevents the user from changing the brightness. We hope that the patch will fix this problem in the near future, but for now we can only advise you to use a flashlight to make it easier to wander in the twilight.
Saints Row: the Third crashes:
It looks like Saints Row: The Third was also affected by optimization problems. And if you get into the car and press the gas, then the FPS will drop even lower. Interestingly, brakes are more common among owners of ATI video cards.
Standard advice in this case:
Switch to DX9 mode
Reduce the resolution
Turn off Post Processing and Ambient occlusion, as well as V-sync and anti-aliasing in the graphics settings. Doesn't help - lower the rest of the settings.
Update your graphics card drivers
If you have multiple video cards running in SLI or CrossFire, try leaving only one video card - this helps in some cases
Saints Row: The Third won't start or freeze:
Run the game in Windows XP compatibility mode
Run the game directly from the installed folder, not through a shortcut
If you are using Steam, check your game file cache to make sure none of them got corrupted during download
If you are using multiple monitors, then try running the game on only one
Disable all background services except antivirus. If it does not help, try disabling the antivirus too.
How to start a new game in Saints Row: The Third:
Incredible but true - some people can't start a new game in Saints Row: The Third. The developers claim that the problem is solved by the already released fix, so just download it. The problem concerns both the owners of the standard boxed versions of the game and the owners of the Steam versions.
Unable to check Saints Row: The Third file cache:
Restart Steam or restart your computer
Uninstall the game completely, download it and reinstall it
Controller not working in Saints Row: The Third:
If you are trying to play with a controller and are not successful, then exit the game and reconnect the controller before starting it up again.
There is no sound in Saints Row: The Third:
Turn off hardware acceleration in the DrectX settings panel
If you have a 5.1 or 7.1 audio system, then try switching to 2.1 mode and restarting the game.
Now let's talk about various modifications, mods and other software for the game:
Video Editor !!!(I did not create the video editor, the developers left it in a semi-working state in the game version.
There are several problems currently, which I will discuss below.
Hidehud version changes to "Hide HUD" button to disable HUD. This means you won't be able to turn it back on without rebooting the SR3, so be careful with that. Application:
The game will have new options in the pause menu to start a clip recording, and then during recording, it will change to the ability to stop recording and go to edit the clip.
In the main menu, it will be possible to edit clips and save them.
Editor problems:
The object's metrics are causing a crash when placing the camera so they are disabled. This will affect the gameplay in activities and those where you see health bars. If you need those, uninstall the mod before playing them.
Video export does not work. For everyone. Pressing the Export button will break the game and you will have to restart it.
The main menu, for editing existing clips, will not work correctly, if you try to use it without any clips you will have to restart the game.
You will be told about all your DLCs every time you edit a clip.):

Tweak Table - 3 in 1(There is one file in the archive - tweak_table. It contains the following mods:
Reinforcing Genki Cannon: Now after firing a man (or himself) from Genki Manapult, he will fly very far ... until he disappears.
More missiles from an air strike - everything is clear here, from airstrike there will be more missiles. Can take out a lot of enemies at once (and not only enemies - be careful with this)
Sad Panda physics is from GenkiBowl VII DLC - you will fly like a "sad panda" from dlc. Simply put, it changes the physics of the fall, you will move forward faster and fall slower.
If anyone doesn't like it, please ignore it. In general, this is all designed for lovers of real madness.
Shiny clothes(this mod changes the settings of the mirrored ccmesh_pc files of a certain set of clothes, so they seem shiny to the game ...):
