"We grew up listening to [the Misfits]. They're from New Jersey which we’re real proud of."
Capturing the ambience of Tony Hawk's American Wasteland (2005)
We'll use reTHAWed as it offers a photo mode for capturing screenshots and footage.
Unlocking content
reTHAWed implements a cheat for this, Watch_Me_Xplode. This apparently references a similar code shipped with THPS4, which itself references an AC/DC lyric.
Hiding the HUD
To (mostly) disable HUD, simply visit THAW's options menu and toggle the relevant options.
Career mode free camera
reTHAWed's photo mode is not available during career mode - only free skate and online. This is a problem because free skate maps present THAW's levels in their maximally destroyed state - for example, the '69' gas station sign in Beverly Hills is missing.
We can work around this by entering Free Skate, enabling photo mode (press the Back button on your controller), exiting Free Skate, and loading Career. You will load into Career with photo mode! I'm unsure if this is a bug or the intended behavior.
Annoyingly, there are some UI elements in career mode which cannot be hidden in the game's options. It may be possible to replace these elements with a transparent texture mod.
Extracting sounds
Streams are encoded as DAT/WAD pairs, a THPS franchise standard format. Other sounds are WPC and would need some extraction tools.

12. Ever Fallen in Love - Thursday
"Every so often it's good to get back in touch with one of the reasons that you play music, and obviously we play music because we love music. And [Buzzcocks is] one of the bands that we really love."
