Mods and achievements

[HopeBestman]

Are mods create problems for achievements or not? I finish twice in PS4 and now wanna play in pc with mods but getting steam achievements one of the reason to play the game.

You can just use a mod to unlock all steam achievements in a game and skip playing entirely.

You said you wanna play it for the achievements. I'm telling you you can skip the playing part.

Also, 2 seconds of using google would get you the answer to your question.

Mods do not affect Steam Achievements - at least these don't...

In several recent threads discussing mods, I have revealed the mods I'm currently using that do NOT alter game files and as far as I can tell in 2000+hrs of play, do NOT break the game. A few hic-cups to mention - and I do in this quote:

Native Trainer Reskinned:
https://www.rdr2mod.com/native-trainer-reskinned-and-arrow-keys/
(works just as well as the standard Native Trainer - with LeMat, arrow keys and easier on eyeballs - mine, at least)

Dead Eye Master:
https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/232
(got tired of playing around with R*'s Auto Mark Level One Nightmare - and being eaten by alpha predators I could only manage to shoot in the foot - defaults to Max Level 4 - User can define different actions)

Automatic Greet Replies:
https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/452
("Hello, Mister" - and I'll not crash my horse into you while I speak to you, K?)

More Persistent Weather:
https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/810
(I like rain that lasts longer than 2 minutes)

Disable Out of Bounds Snipers:
https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/877
(New Austin is a crap hole - but seeing just how much is easier when you're not having your head blown off - Tame the Blackwater Pinkertons with 'Never Wanted' in the Trainer).

No game files altered.
Latest Scripthook deployed.

The "few small issues" (the only ones I have found):

Trainer:
1) If you have the game clock paused, the Donation box is inaccessible. Let the game clock run in Camp. Solved.

2) If you use 'Real Time' or 'Computer Time' The Camp can go from Gold Provision Icons to Red if you save and reload without returning game clock to normal state. Solved by using only Pause Clock.

3) If you forget to let the game clock run when you sleep - you may wake up at the exact moment you laid down. Mostly associated with 'Real' or 'Computer' time. 'Pause' seems unaffected.

Those are the only issues I've found and I wouldn't even consider those 'game breaking'. Just irritants really.

Not so much an issue, but some advice: When you 'Teleport' to another map location (Trainer), do so on a ROAD, 'cause when you and your horse arrive in the top of a tree and hit every branch on the way down - it really makes your horse unhappy.

Enjoy.

I used Google for more than 2 seconds and didn't find one mod that gives you all the achievements for RDR2. Seems like there may be some bogus info floating around. If someone can link to one - we'll know which one not to use. Mods are cool - having everything handed to you is not.

The above mods do NOT prevent Steam Achievements, nor do they give them you without earning them.

I meant that it took 2 seconds find out if mods disable achievements or not.

Thank you for your answers and advises.

My main question was about skipping chapter 1. Like you guys said, i checked and some ppl shared save gave right after chapter 1. So i downloaded and used it but it seems its not compatiable with standard/ultimate editions. So i needed to start over again.

TL:DR

If someone wants to skip chapter 1 and have ultimate/special editions, they should play ones, and after that they should save the game twice or something.

mods are cheats , why would one expect achievements to be achievable with a modded game ? running mods(cheats) negates the whole concept of an achievement , if you want the achievement dont mod the game and earn it

There's a program that can unlock all steam achievements for every game. When will you realize that achievements don't mean anything.

The whole concept of achievements is laughable.

i beat the game twice %98 (didnt do some of the collecting stuff) in PS. Now i want to chill and do stuff and mainly which i said my last entry, i wanted to skip first chapter but because i finish the game twice i dont see any problem using "cheat" to get achievements which i already got them before.

[britt_williams]

I found a program called "Sam.picker" that unlocks all achievements in a long list of games. And it still works! Nice!

Mods are not cheats, they're Modifications. You probably haven't used them before seeing how you interpret every mod-- including bugfixes and balanced content, as pure cheating despite whether they can fix a game or not.

The only "cheat" mods are the ones listed specifically as such.

For those like me who came looking here for a way to play a modded game with achievements, use what was flagged as the answer to add achievements you would have gotten, but didn’t. This is probably pointless, but maybe it will help.

Generation Y, they want everything in the easy way, don't like to play every inch of the game. While using mod to get an achievment you can't call yourself a player, the crowd didn't handle the game, because of their lazyness, but will never stay near battletoads, contra and alike. That game was made to beat you, not the other way around. My point is, using mods to get achievments is totally waste of time and prove how lazy some people are.

*cough* not entirely true.

Did you ever wish to play a game from a different perspective, or as a different character. Or online content like the story and missions but not online with all the trolls and overpowered players....

Mods can allow that to happen from fans modifying the files to access those missions and such in single player. Does this look awkward when playing story missions yes...cause Arthur will not be him but whatever model your playing....

The one thing I wished is that there was a mod that made dead eye work for the models you switch to cause I have one of the saloon girl models I play as a lot on side missions and missions I never get to experience online cause no one plays them and just tries to do bounty hunting or Shoot each other for glory.

This game really needed a private lobby for friends or randoms on the internet to meet up and be able to play the storylines online. That being said if you do mod your game you should have a separate install so you can play that fully offline and not risk any bans then just rename the folders or go to the folder with RDR unmodded to play with online.

Another example of mods making the game fun and different is REDM.

I am an avid roleplayer and I am on one of the twitch rp servers so I actually take the role of an alchemist and emerald ranch hand to a group of players. It allows many of us to tell our own tales that can turn into any kind of story for fun.

This is no different than people watching tv shows or movies just think of it as an improvised story that many people write together. The server im on even lets you be able to sit and dance and so forth so I wouldnt just ♥♥♥♥♥ bout modders and claim all are lazy.

Now that everyone deviated from the topic which had I guess a picker as an answer for the one who made it, I would say this for those looking for answers like some that posted and me.

Yes mods do disable some achievements. It has to be how some are coded, I know rampage which I used for model switching caused issues with it counting anything in the achievements but they seem to work fine unmodded.

That being said there are mods that do not disable achievements it sadly is not a direct answer and is a lot of trial and error. If you have the computer space you could make multiple folders of RDR2 and keep one vanilla for a base then test them like I am doing now.

I have an issue where the achievements I got on my saves on Epic and from previously XBOX and Playstation do not show it seems. I am trying a new save now but the intro is the worst. Do hate games that draw out the beginning every time. If a save is past chapter 2 let us opt out of Chapter 1 and the snow tutorial cause my god its a drag when you have legit done it over 7 times.
