💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have Script Hook RDR2 installed, as most script mods require it.
  • Place the .asi or .dll file in the game's root directory, not the 'scripts' folder, unless the mod's readme says otherwise.
  • If the lantern doesn't appear, check that your game is updated to a compatible version—older mods can break after patches.
