While the Resident Evil 3 remake did not win over every critic, it did win over many fans as the game's modding community is still going strong. One new mod gives Jill Valentine a stylish jacket and hoodie that looks as if it was in Resident Evil 3from the start.
Following the sweeping success which was the Resident Evil 2 remake, 2020's Resident Evil 3 was met with mixed reception upon release. While Resident Evil games are typically never quite long to begin with, 3 was surprisingly short, with entire sections from the original game not being present. That said, one of the remake's strongest points was its characterization of Jill Valentine, whose tough demeanor and excellent portrayal by Nicole Tompkins provide some of the game's best moments. Fans have been thinking that recent activity on the Steam database may mean a Resident Evil 3 remake update may be in the near future.

Reddit user InquisitorAles recently uploaded screenshots of a new Resident Evil 3 mod in action. The mod, developed by xRaq on NexusMods, is titled "Leather Jacket for Jill" and it does just that, letting Jill wear Lara Croft's leather jacket from Rise of the Tomb Raider. It comes in two variants, one with the hood down, and one with the hood on, replacing the Default and S.T.A.R.S Gear outfits respectively. It may not be as ambitious a mod as the one that replaces Jill with Resident Evil Village's Lady Dimitrescu, but xRaq provides a fine-tuned and well-designed mod for fans wanting to give Jill some new threads.

Fans in the Reddit comments are raving over the mod, seeing multiple characters within this appearance of Jill. From Kat in DmC: Devil May Cry to Alex Mercer from Prototype, the simple addition of a hoodie to Jill evokes many other game characters. Other comparisons made include none other than Eminem, the proverbial hoodie wearer, and even Marvel's Jessica Jones. If the jacket was red, then players might as well have downloaded the Resident Evil 3 Claire Redfield mod.
It is encouraging to see fans continue to support the Resident Evil 3 remake through their mods. They deserve credit for providing new ways to experience the game, and in some ways, even improve it over its original form. Players may not necessarily want to a Resident Evil 3 mod that replaces Carlos with Nemesis, but it is an option thanks to these creative individuals. Now, who is going to add in the missing Clocktower section first: modders or Capcom itself?
Resident Evil 3 is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
