📋 About This Mod
This one is pretty self explanatory, In vanilla, whenever you serve yourself some stew, Arthur/John would usually grab the medium sized spoon that's hanging on one of the hooks by the cauldron, and whenever they were done using the spoon, they'd attempt to hang it back on the hook, only to fail miserably, dropping the spoon on the floor in the process, causing everyone in their surroundings to die of terminal food-related diseases and death.
As you could clearly see in the GIF above, this mod gives our beloved protagonists the underrated power of being decent human beings, so hopefully this should be more than enough to stop Arthur/John from "stew killing" everyone and to stop you from refunding the game.
First, you must have "ScriptHookRDR2" and "Lenny's Mod Loader" installed for this mod to work.
Once installed, simply drag the "lml" folder directly into your game's directory and you should be done.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved fix (1,249 endorsements) — clearly solves a common annoyance
- Tiny download and install — no bloat, just the fix
- Works for both Arthur and John, so it covers the whole game
⚠️ Cons
- Only addresses one specific animation bug — if you're looking for broader gameplay tweaks, this isn't it
- Last updated in May 2023, so it may not be compatible with future game patches
- Potential conflict with other mods that alter the same stew-serving animation or character behavior
For Red Dead Redemption 2 players who are bothered by the spoon drop animation during stew serving and want a clean, minimal fix. Skip if you're after gameplay overhauls or visual upgrades — this is purely a bug fix.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple file drop, place the mod files directly into your game's root directory or use a mod manager like Vortex for easier management.
- If you're on PC, make sure to launch the game with the mod loader (e.g., Script Hook RDR2) if required by other mods, but this one likely doesn't need it.
- Test the fix early in the game by serving stew at a campfire to confirm the animation is corrected.
