📋 About This Mod
Looking Healthy Arthur!
¿Have you ever thought about how Chapter 6 would look like if Arthur'd not gotten TB? ¿Have you? Well... you might have just found what you're looking for... kind of.
(Btw, English isn't my native language so thanks for comprehending)
Greetings, fellow red dead enjoyers! ;)
I made this mod with the intention of being able to see how all the cutscenes from Chapter 6 would play out with a "non constantly decaying looking Arthur ?", and I achieved my goal, on the cost of sacryphising game inmersion.
This mod ONLY replaces textures, so don't expect Arthur not to be coughing just for the sake of drinking, eating, smoking, breathing or just existing. ?
Sadly, we can't change our dear outlaw's fate but...
"There ain't no shame in looking for a better world."
INSTALLATION is very simple:
1. Download the file.
2. Extract the file using WinRAR or 7-Zip.
3. Copy the contents into your "lml" folder.
(you'll need Lenny's Mod Loader for it to work)
4. Run the game and enjoy. :D
RECOMMENDATIONs to help with inmertion: (Last edited on 10/25/2022)
- If you´d like to have a script that disables most of TB's core downgrades or it's effects on Arthur, you should try YourBoyQuandaleDingle's Healthy Arthur mod, which proved highly at helping with game inmertion. (no more free roam Black Lung)
- I like to use the Rampage Trainer because it allows you to change the character's stats at will, including their weight. (no more Spooky Morgan)
I can't assure you I'll update this post anytime soon, but I still might if needed to. Let me know about your thoughts or report a bug if you find any.
I HOPE YOU'LL ENJOY IT SEE YA!
