📋 About This Mod
Welcome, to the 28th cowboy retexture for this god forsaken character!
This mod attempts to (poorly) restore the RDR 1 look while maintaining most elements from the original textures.
I highly recommend using this mod alongside "Catalogue Improvements" as it gives John his own bandolier.
This extra file includes some textures that are either experimental, unfinished or simply stuff that I considered were straight up garbage, but still wanted to share ‘cus one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, as they say…
First, you must have “ScriptHookRDR2“ ("ScriptHookRDR2 V2" also works) and “Lenny’s Mod Loader” installed for this mod to work.
Once installed, simply drag the “Cowboy Outfit Reworked” folder inside of your “lml” folder.
As for the “Extra Textures”, check each one of the folders to get a preview of what the textures look like.
Once you’ve found the textures that you like, simply drag their respective folders into the “Cowboy Outfit Reworked” folder and replace when it asks you to.
