📋 About This Mod
REQUIRES LML
This mod makes it possible to stealth outside of scripted missions in RDR2. It essentially overwrites the "pedperception.meta" file which the ai uses to perceive the player. But you dont care about that.
All you need to know is.
YOU WONT GET HIVEMIND SWARMED ANYMORE
(Well, you will but only if you are dumb enough to get caught first)
It essentially makes it so peds dont see or hear you as easily, you shouldnt be heard through a wall stabbing someone in the throat, or spotted by an eagle eye o'driscol just cos you missed one arrow when you fired from the cover of darkness from 50m away. They will all still coming running at you if you start blasting though, which makes sense of course.
Im surprised no one had done this yet. anyways enjoy and upvote
Download instructions:
-DOWNLOAD LML. (find a yt vid if you are unsure)
-Once you have LML set up, place it into the below file in your RDR2 Root directory (Where RDR2.exe is)
lml/stream/common/data/ai
If you dont have any of those folders just create them. You should have "lml" if you have correctly followed LMLinstallation instructions.MOD SHOWCASE:

RECOMMENDED MODS:
P. D. O Damage overhaul (Makes it a bit more difficult, if they fall over wailing from an arrow to the chest they will still alert others. killshots are important people!)
Bandit Hideouts and AMJM transport (For when you run out of vanilla bounties)
Contracts (for those John wick assassinations)
COMPATABILITY
Everything as far as i know. I have a very modded load order and have had 0 issues.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Finally makes stealth a thing in RDR2 – huge for bow players.
- Solid community support (98 endorsements, 7k+ downloads).
- Lightweight and focused – does one thing and does it well.
⚠️ Cons

- Potential compatibility issues with other gameplay overhauls that alter AI or detection.
- No detailed documentation – you'll need to test it yourself to see how it feels.

💡 Beginner Tips
