How to mod?

[MrMordekaiser]

Heyo i was wondering if people had any tips on how to go about modding this? i saw that there were cheat codes you got from newspapers, however the game doesnt let me save after using the cheats the devs added to the game, so im hoping to find a mod that allows me to save my game, dont know why they would add codes if they were just gonna give their buyers the middle finger at the same time.

There are a couple mod sites.

"Nexus Mods" tends to be reliable.

You simply download the mod and follow the install directions.

But use some caution - some mods are out of date, and even some of the updated ones can cause the game to act a bit buggy.

Other users will chime in eventually with their recommendations

you'll want:
ScriptHook2 for all mod loading

and for a god mode/dev mode you'll probably want:
Rampage trainer

[marouf]

get ScriptHook, and get the LML (Lenny's Mod Loader for some mods to deactivate easy)
get Rampage Trainer and then Lenny's simple trainer (a lot of mods require it}
get Red Dead Offline (for online guns and items, not a lot for clothing)
get WhyEm's DLC (A LOT of clothing)
and many other

"Mod The Game":
I strongly advise you learn how to install - AND - Uninstall any mods you use.
There WILL come a time when you need to go Vanilla.
Guaranteed.

Generally speaking - 'most' of those are safe for human consumption, but that's not saying they won't break the game.

These don't break the game (I'm currently using them - and can remove them in a moment):

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:

("Hello, Mister" - and I'll not crash my horse into you while I speak to you, K?)

More Persistent Weather:

(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 latest Script Hook will always be here:

(when the game updates - this will update later - Alex does live in The Ukraine, soooo... yea - a few days, give or take)

[MrMordekaiser]

[MrMordekaiser]

Alright thank you all, i figured otu which files to remove and i now have the trainer working too, whoo i was so salty for a bit there xD

The ease of use is relative, rockstar doesnt support modding in general so there is a lot of issues there, it isn't like most games where modding is all integrated. Unfortunately r* seems to unfortunately associate single player modding with online cheating.

It is a hard space to navigate but yeah. taking out frustrations on single player modders working for free is about as backwards as it gets. That said online frameworks are subject to modders/hackers and their selling of their scammy programs. I understand both sides of this issue, it is a frustrating concept to deal with.

There are lovers of the game who spend their own time improving the experience, and then there are the scumbags who make money from well funded kids who want auto aim bots and god mode hacks and the like.

do you have rose colored glasses and a paisley nehru jacket ?
how are you set for beads ?
you're gonna need some beads if you plan on going all mod ,
how many pairs of sandals do you own ? you will need 2 pair , the casual everyday sandals and a dress pair for evenings out at the hippie love-ins

Regarding Story Mode Modders:

https://www.pcgamer.com/red-dead-redemption-2-mods-are-probably-okay-as-long-as-you-stay-offline/

"Take-Two has agreed that it generally will not take legal action against third-party projects involving Rockstar's PC games that are single-player, non-commercial, and respect the intellectual property (IP) rights of third parties," an explanatory post on Rockstar's support site reads.

So, as long as mods don't touch the online component of the game, aren't used as a way to make money, and don't improperly use the unlicensed works of other rights holders, you ought to be good to go.
