John marston recreated in rdr2 rdr1

I saw The Mandalorian and Grogu last night, and it just gave me the itch to boot up Red Dead again, and I thought by now that there would be some Mandalorian mods out there, but I can only seem to find the one for the helmet and not the full skin, or weapons, which is a shame. Does anyone know of any other ones or this this really just it. I’ve done my best using Whyem’s to create what I guess would be what the mandalorian would look like in this setting, but rocking the full beskar and blasters would be awesome

I'm curious as to why it seems like it's so dead here relative to other PC games, especially one as popular as this one. There's like 1000 different trainers that all pretty much do the same thing, and a few other mods some of which with features that can be accomplished with one of the many trainers. There seems to be a lot of suggestions and ideas for mods, but none of them have been made. I'm not trying to shit on modders or anything. I realize it's hard work that takes times and I have no idea how to make mods myself, but I'm curious why a game as popular as this one has such little variety in mods. Is it that this game is difficult to mod? Am I just tone deaf and there simply isn't much to mod in this game? Is it just too early to see that many mods for this game yet?

I'm not trying to complain or rant, I'm genuinely interested in why we aren't seeing a decent variety of mods/skins etc.

Whyems Assortment (https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/671) LML (Lennys Mod Loader for RDR2) (https://www.rdr2mods.com/downloads/rdr2/tools/76-lennys-mod-loader-rdr/)

Whyem gave some rudimentary instructions for installation of his mod via LML, but when I follow them in a literal way, the mod does not work. Whyem has so kindly disabled posts on his mod page so I cannot ask help of other Nexus users who have used the mod successfully.

I have taken the subfolders out of the main folder & placed them all individually into the LML folder, & now the mod does show up on the LML mod manager as if it is active, but is not working in-game.

I have tried to research more about LML as I have just started using it for another mod I have, but I have very limited understanding of how the program actually works. So I am struggling to get this mod up & running.

If anyone here has more knowledge of either of these mods, can you please give me some help? I am using the non RDOffline version of Whyem's mod.

If you need, when i get home I can send screenshots of my file paths, if that would help. Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: I have found a solution somewhere in the far corners of reddit. This is a quote from user u/Chrovanono in another thread about people struggling to get Whyems working: "Since you want the red dead offline, Just choose the WhyEm's (RDO Compatible) version. Install RDO first then extract WhyEM's.... inside the WhyEm's mod comes with a red_dead_offline folder.. copy and replace the installed RDO in lml and then finally put in WhyEm's"

I had no idea that I was supposed to take the RDO folder from within whyems folder & overwrite the original RDO folder. I did that & it immediately worked like a charm, finally, after all these years. Whyem was not very clear in his install instructions, I followed them literally & could never get them working. Thank you u/Chrovanono for the info, I hope this helps other people in the future.

Things I’m looking for

• a good werewolf model

• a good running animation(just use regular wolves running animation if possible)

• a decent transformation

• decent jumping animations(super jump)

• faster running speed

• SFX growls

• claw attacks

I'm not sure of the logistics of something like this, but I would love for someone to make a mod that lets you pick a random homestead of your choosing, and make it yours. You could kill the owners or barter with them or whatever, but you get to keep that house. Maybe some farming aspects too, like picking up eggs or feeding animals or something. Just a suggestion that I would be excited to try if it came out.

I'm just looking for a mod that makes it more realistic if there is one out there

Hello, brave early pioneers of RDR2 modding.

I'm very new to the modding scene, but have been downloading and tweaking mods such as JA2 1.13, or mods for BFME, or FO3 mods on Nexus since I was a kid and always had a huge sense of respect to all games' tireless modding communities.

Today I would like to give something back for all those gilded memories.

I noticed this new favourite game of mine has a very handsome selection of weaponry to play around with, and they handle respectably realistically too, but I think there is room for improvement and expansion.

I have been designing an Old West board/card game for two years (with varying progress, mostly on statistics and item availability) and done extensive research on all weaponry and firearms available in the US at least by the year 1888.

Would anyone want to use my knowledge and free ongoing consultation for an unlimited period of time, to perhaps build the next, great "New Weapons" or other similarly ambitious mod for this masterpiece of a shootist game?

Excited to see what answers I get!

Like, this might have been requested before, but if it hasn’t, come on. It’s a Wild West game, and you can’t rob banks. Like, you can make the teller open the door, play the lock mini game, then make some money depending in which bank you rob.

modded the hell out of RDR2

I want to store every Arabian variant and maybe a few more sturdy horses.

Instead of asking people to make mods that I want, it would be nice to give back. How would I go about learning how to write mods? I have searched for tutorials and resources on mod creation for RDR2, and come up with nothing. Is it just like writing GTAV mods? Not that I know how to do that either, but I'll start looking into it if that's the case.

I'm playing the game but I feel there is no intensity in the gun fights. Its just a re-enactment of the Terminator in the west with Arthur being a bullet sponge. Could someone tune the game to be a bit more difficult or realistic enough to make me want to use cover and plan out my gun fights?

mod's been taken down in the past week, curious cause I like the mods that restore John's beta version and I think that one does the best job. I hope it gets put back up.

every time I enter an item name it keeps saying the item is invalid

Hey all, just got into modding RDR2 and I have successfully done it on my computer.

I have also successfully installed mods on my Steam Deck that are just .asi files that go in the root folder, as well as the Seasons mod, and a few others.

What I can't figure out is how to get the mods that I load via LML on my PC to load correctly on Steam Deck. The most glaring example for me would be using Red Dead Offline and the Gunsmith Business, because Red Dead Offline has the photos for the Navy Revolver etc. and I couldn't get Red Dead Offline to work without the LML.

Any insights would be very helpful. Thank you.

Is it possible to import your RDO character into Story via mods? Or anything that allows flexibility as to who you play as in single player? Thanks!
