📋 About This Mod
YOU CAN GRAB A BETTER LOOKING MOD THAN THIS ONE OVER AT (BTW Don't use both mods at the same time):
Improved faces, bodies, hairs/beards of pretty much all of the story and side mission characters in game.
Just extract and copy "4kCharacters" folder, to LML folder. (Meaning you must have Lennys Mod Loader set up and working)
This one took a LOT of days to make.
Please don`t share my mods on other sites, Nexus is the only place I upload my mods.
You can find same mod for different games I`ve made:
4k Story Characters for Grand Theft Auto V
4k Story Characters for Mafia: Definitive Edition
4k Story Characters for Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag
4k Story Characters for Assassins Creed: Unity
4k Story Characters for Shadow of the Tomb Raider

4k Story Characters for The Witcher 3
4k Improved Characters for Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered
A 4K texture overhaul for Red Dead Redemption 2 that improves faces, bodies, and hair/beards for story and side mission characters. Requires Lenny's Mod Loader. The author recommends Character Textures Overhaul as a better alternative and warns against using both simultaneously.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 1,179 endorsements and nearly 100k downloads.
- Covers a wide range of characters—faces, bodies, and hair/beards—so you get a consistent upgrade.
- Simple install: just drop the folder into LML, no complex config needed.
⚠️ Cons
- Author themselves points to Character Textures Overhaul as better, so you might be settling for second best.
- Explicitly warns not to use both mods at once, so you have to pick one and stick with it.
- Last updated in late 2024—could be outdated if the game has had updates since then.
For RDR2 players who want a quick, easy visual boost to character models without messing with complex mods. If you're after the absolute best textures, go with Character Textures Overhaul instead. Skip if you're not using Lenny's Mod Loader or want gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Lenny's Mod Loader is fully set up and working before dropping the '4kCharacters' folder into the LML directory.
- If you're also considering Character Textures Overhaul, pick one—installing both will cause conflicts.
- Check the mod's page for any updates or patches if you've recently updated RDR2.
