Levels
THUG PRO adds levels from other games in the THPS series. It includes all of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 and Tony Hawk's Underground levels. There are also a few levels from Tony Hawk's American Wasteland at this time, with more to come soon. In addition, there is a bonus category with Andy's Room from Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure, and High School from Tony Hawk's Project 8.
The Main Menu of the game is inside of Stacey Peralta's Skateshop from the New Jersey level of Tony Hawk's Underground, and the menu has been simplified and updated for accessibility.

There are many additions of new features. Some of these include:
- Different user-interface themes to select, including ones based on skateboard sponsors and from THPS4/THAW

Mod History
A very early version of the mod was released on August 31st, 2012, featuring THUG1 versions of Venice and School 2 levels. It was originally called THUG2 LEVELMOD as a tribute to the similiar mod for THPS3.
A year later on August 9th, 2013, the first version of the mod within the name THUG PRO was released.
There were few minor patches released during November, 2013 which fixed some major crash bugs.
In January 2014, a thread about the mod was posted on Reddit. Later on, article about the mod called "Fans Are Making The Ultimate Tony Hawk Game" appeared on the main page of Kotaku. Several other known game sites reposted this article.
On February 24th, 2014 patch was released. Along with new levels from THPS4 it adds new launcher, extends Create-A-Skater menu and fixes known crashing and lags.
The latest beta version was available only by requesting access on thugprocontact@gmail.com. Latest stable version was released in February 2015.
As of now, mod is under development. All of the updates are available through auto update system.
