RDR2 Definitive Edition (2024 Update)

RDR2 Definitive Edition is a modding guide and list designed to achieve three objectives:

  Modding RDR2 is safe and straightforward as long as you follow the steps carefully. There are four types of mods:
  • []Green mods are script mods (.asi files) that requires Script Hook RDR2 to work. These .asi (joined sometimes with an .ini and/or a .dat file) must always be put at the root of your game folder where the RDR2.exe is located.

    []Purple mods are files replacement mods needing Lenny's Mod Loader. You have to put the files provided by these mods inside the LML folder located in the game's root folder.

    []Orange mods are hybrids requiring both Script Hook RDR2 and Lenny's Mod Loader.

    []Blue mods have specific installation method.

    []Mods with 🕹 must only be installed if you play with a controller.

    []Mods with ⌨️ must only be installed if you play with a mouse & keyboard.

  Important notes:
  • []This list is subjective and open to changes.

    []Mods with a # symbol have special installation instructions.

    []The "game root folder" refers to where RDR2.exe is located (e.g., for Steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Red Dead Redemption 2).

    []Mods can be installed in any order.

    []The list is meant for use with the Vulkan API. Modded game doesn't works with DX12.

    []Always check the readme files for proper installation.

    []Mods outside of this list won't receive support.
