Using mods to pick herbs

[Ch33kiBreek1]

I picked up all the reamining herbs using invicibilty mod but picking them up it doesnt count to complete the herbalist challenge? So it only counts as John? Also it counts the herbs under the compedium but not for the challenge

How so?

I use 'No Out of Bounds Snipers' and the 'Native Trainer' to turn off the Pinkertons. Arthur went to New Austin, gathered the Herbs when that part of the challenge came along and finished it.

I also finished Horseman the same way.

Arthur is fully upgraded and using the LOTE Coat in 1 Custom Outfit - the Good Big Valley Hat in another - back in Chapter 2, actually.

The only thing I can think of would be when you're gathering those Herbs, there's no checklist, so you might think you have all the 'Mainland' Herbs, when in fact you're missing 4. Twice before (in playthrough 4 currently) I had to go back to each herb and pick it again - making a list. I didn't have Wintergreen Berry one time, and Bay Bolete in another.

Trust me - it's easy to do. Basically when that challenge starts I start my own list with an analog recording device and a piece of paper. It's the only way to be sure..lol

This, however may help:
https://2game.com/en-us/community/red-dead-online-plant-location-guide-challenge-plant-locations <---a great source for all the Non-Exotic Plants - it's actually for Online, but SP Plants are in the same place (just more of them - apparently).

And Remember - The Exotic Orchids are included in the big Herb Round Up - they can be difficult - depending on when you try to collect them. You may have to begin the Algernon Quest to get the Orchids to spawn - if you've picked them out before the Algernon Quest begins.

Here's a good source for The Exotics:

Search Google for:
red dead redemption 2 all exotics locations

At the top of the list you'll find that link - it's very detailed, but further down the page is a smaller one, not as detailed, but should get the job done.

They're a LOT easier to see at night, but take out the Night Folk first and Don't step on any Gators. Also be aware - there really is a Panther in the Bayou - met him the other night after not meeting him in 1500hrs.... and there goes another Union Suit...lol

I currently ended the mission where you go to the doctor's...

The herbs collection i currently have is 36/43... And i picked the herbs and it added them to the compendium but not to the challenge list. I have all of the exotic plants, as i was doing the Duchess mission, if i remember right... And checking the compendium i have all of the plants found but not used in crafting so there's that...

I picked all the herbs with never wanted and invincibility mode on... only kept the invisible sniper settings on....

I also tried to teleport to the certain waypoint and turning off the never wanted, invisible mode and sniper mode to ensure that it would detect a new plant but it didnt

I collected all my New Austin Herbs with 'Never Wanted' activated.

I don't think the mods are stopping the challenge.
I simply think you haven't picked all the mainland herbs.
I missed some every time, until I started writing them down and counting them myself.

The Compendium may not help - it doesn't tell you 'when' you picked them, and you must pick them while the challenge is active. I always have to Eat a few - my bag is usually packed with 99 of some of them by then.

Ok guess ill try again then with only never wanted option

I think you should save yourself time time and just start picking them and writing them down.

You'll probably get about half way there and the challenge will pop. I think you've just missed a few.
