📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 496 endorsements and nearly 28k downloads.
- Fixes a visual inconsistency for RDR1 purists—no more pale, hairy arms.
- Works across multiple John variants, including NPC and JMRP outfits.
⚠️ Cons
- Known neck seam issue, same as in John Marston - 1911.

- Compatibility risk with other body mods that alter John's arms or chest.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Install LML first, then drop the mod's files into your lml folder or stream folder as described.
- Pair with John Marston Restoration Project and John Marston - 1911 for the full RDR1 look.
- Check the neck seam in third person—if it bothers you, consider using a neck seam fix mod.
