📋 About This Mod
the Heartlands have gone through a dry spell changing the look of the region entirely from the green lush prairie into a dry grass plain
Big Valley has become a sparse Redwood Expansion turning the dull brown mud into a rust color and adding a few Seqouias amongst the forest.
Theres also the optional file of Autumn Vegetation, which recolors mulitple trees mainly focusing on English Oak, Maple, Birch and Poplar. (Possibly more soon)
I have linked a Trailer I had made by the talented Desse and Outlaw based on the original 2016 Trailer
I have also linked a mod showcase of my Plains made by Gameroll
HeartPlains 1.00 transforms Red Dead Redemption 2's Green Heartlands into dry plains and turns Big Valley into a northern expansion of Tall Trees with big trees and autumn vegetation. The mod is outdated, with the author directing users to an updated version on Nexus Mods.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community traction with 183 endorsements and over 7,400 downloads
- Adds a distinct dry plains aesthetic to the Heartlands, giving the region a fresh feel
- Expands Tall Trees northward, creating a larger, cohesive forested area
⚠️ Cons
- Mod is outdated and the author explicitly directs users to a newer version, so you're better off grabbing that one
- Only affects two regions, so the rest of the map stays vanilla
- Potential conflicts with other map overhauls that touch the same areas
For RDR2 players who want a visual refresh of the Heartlands and Big Valley without overhauling the entire map. If you're after a more comprehensive map change, skip this and grab the updated version instead.
