For RDR2 players who want smoother, more realistic weapon handling animations. If you're into immersion mods and already use Lennys Mod Loader, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you don't care about animation details or don't want to deal with mod loader setup.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Lennys Mod Loader installed and working before dropping the folder into the lml directory.
- If you use JMAO, follow the edit instructions carefully—it's a manual file edit, so double-check your changes.
- Test holstering animations on foot and on horseback separately, since coach animations are known to be glitchy.
