YO BRO I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE VIdeo but bro i wanted to ask how to u get john marston walking animations work on the game for sum reason it wont work for me
After trying for a month I finally did it bro, took me so long but now I finally coud download script hook and the gun tricks mod was the only thing I wanted along with trainer, tysm bro ur a real one you just made my entire week
I'm so grateful for this tutorial! Been playing for 140+ hours on this month alone, finished main story with 84% completion... And yet I'm not ready to leave this massive compelling world of RDR2.. Wanted to slow down with exploration because I would feel empty if there's nothing else to explore.. So I tried installing the mod from my main source Nexus Mod thinking it's going to be as simple as drag and drop files into Mod Manager like what I used to do with all Resident Evil games but gave up halfway because I have not a slightest clue what the proper steps and where to begin with... This video definitely answers all my confusion so again thanks a bunch! Edited: looks like you cover a lot of mods on this channel and it'll be a shame if I don't subscribe 😅😅
Bout to replay RDR2, excited to try out modding again after being away from it and RDR2 for a couple years. Ima say even before it gets done I appreciate you making this video, liked and subbed before I even finish watching it.
That was the most thorough, simple, to the point, tutorial i have witnessed for ANY subject maybe ever. I was getting demotivated to even start modding this game. Now i've got a couple installed thanks to you, and on my way for many more. Many thanks sir! Subscribed!
tbh this dude is really helpful with this because he just doesnt tell you boom do this and ur done he actually like tells you what to do for some files and gives u tips to like read the description n stuff 10/10 great tutorial dude
I feel yah I can't get past two min. Download lennys but it says error when saving. I can't seem to link it to the game. Says files not found. I just redownload it.
Very helpful video, I love how you put all the mods with different things we have to do and show us what we do thank you. Like They were all different ways to download them ty
Most mods will work as expected on cracked versions. Only exceptions being mods that tamper with online features, since those have been messed with on the cracked version of the game.

I wanted my second playthrough to be casual and unrestricted and these mods have made that possible. Thank you sir, for your clear guidance! Subbed to your channel now 😁👍
so i have modded red dead redemption 2 before all the mods worked fine. after about a good year or so i believe i have installed the game once again, and i downloaded all the mods and did exactly what i had to like i did before, but this time for some reason nothing works. everything is still in the folder but when i run the game its like the game is on safety mode none of the mods work even with the version.dll or those extra stuff i saw on other videos. i even checked other people's experiences on reddit but they managed to fix it just by putting that asi loader. what could i be doing wrong?
I also have this issue, i verified my game twice did it all over again and still nothing. Its just the vanilla version. All the files are there. I deleted the game. Downloaded it back and nothing happened. Its just the same.
Going a year is a long time. Things update. Modding still works though, I made another updated guide yesterday from scratch so all the requirements you need are up to date
Why when i go to download the scripthook and i press download it doesnt download or doesnt show its downloaded anywhere. Ive tried hindreds of times but it wont show up.
This is honestly the best tutorial I’ve found. I love how you go through and help us understand which mods go where and what to do with certain files. Definitely a recommended tutorial overall!
I’m getting a Razer blade 18 soon, got it just to run rdr2 on max settings, and with mods, and this video is easily the most explained how to mod video I’ve ever seen for rdr2 can’t wait to punish people as Arthur
i really want to know if rampage is safe to download, i do not want a virus and i would like for ItsDeepzz to confirm that this is safe to download, thank you
"Stream" and "Replace" folders - are outdated. You know a mod is REALLY old (2021-2022) when you see it unzip with those folders inside. Beware - they may not work anymore. The "new" system is called the "install file system." Basically, each mod made for Lenny's has an .xml file with it, called "install." (Circa 2023.) NOTE: - I think Lenny's must be running before you start the game for mods to load? - Once game starts, click on the triangle in Lenny's, it should say "game running." - R-click on modmanager.exe and "run as administrator." If you don't, it may crash. - DO NOT install modmanager.exe next to rdr2.exe. It MUST be in it's own folder, by itself. The way this video is done is fine - just pointing that out, you can go WRONG not knowing this, with game failing to load. - "Mods" with the ".ASI" file names after them - don't need Lenny's. Just scripthook, and an ASI loader. You drag/drop those files into the main game directory, next to rdr2.exe, and don't need lml folder, or lenny's installed at all. - Scripthook is the _library_ for scripts. - The READER of the library, the ASI script LOADER, is the .dll file. (Old-timer was "version.dll." Newcomer, dinput8.dll.) - Log files where you can see mod/script loading errors: - ModManager.log = Lenny's. - vfs.log = Lenny's also. - asiloader.log = AB's dinput8.dll. - ScriptHookRDR2.log = scripthook. (V2, for me, original for others.) - (Open with notepad or notepad++ to view.) - (Found in same root game folder with rdr2.exe.) Also Beware - some mods require specific versions of Scripthook and the accompanying .dll file. Before Christmas in 2023, people used to just experiment with which .dll file worked for which mods, and decide - based on which mods they wanted to work. After the spring 2024 patches though - chaos. Nothing seems to work right with .50, in May. There's 3 different "versions" of Scripthook. (All have the same name "ScriptHookRDR2.dll" however._ So - name your folders with the date/version you get on description web page. Do NOT confuse which one is which, or you should delete/re download / label your folders. 1) Ancient scripthook. 2021, 2022, plus, the over-time updates to it. (On RDR2 mods. com but some are so broken they should be removed from the site!)(Lenny's mod loader download page tells you to go get it. DON'T!) 2) Scripthook, from Alexander Blade's c-dev website. (This vid.) (Most popular.) 3) Scripthook V2* - back on RDR2 mods. com. *(Latest, worked flawlessly in March-April 2024 - until game patch to .50 version broke it.) Still KINDA works - with major, major stuttering/lag broken aspects of the .ASI mods. :( However, CONTROL + F12 DURING the game, the control panel, is awesome. You can load/unload scripts while the game is running with a checkbox selection. :) There's a "Scripthook V2." It was just updated, after years of neglect. It worked PERFECTLY with the game patch .18, that happened in March. _But Rockstar just broke it with the patch to .50!_ DAMNIT rockstar! So, right now, we are left with a V2 of Scripthook that is screwing up mods. Best advice, go back to the OLD AB Scripthook found in this tutorial, on the c-dev site. You can try the "version.dll" from prior, ancient scripthook instructions - but, people say it's pretty bad. This is all confusing? Oh yes it is. Dear God Rockstar - come up with your own mod loaders so we don't have to!! Your game is barely playable without mods. (Camera movements make me barf!) :(
Do certain mods crash the game while in story mode? Or do all mods? I remember a different video you said something about starting mods only in chapter 3 to avoid crashes.
do you know the difference between blade's scripthook and scripthook v2? some mods require v2 and others require blade's but would that rlly matter which one you use?
I only use blades version cause I know it works for me. Idk about the other one. You should only use one or the other though regardless of what the mod requirement suggests
For some reason the script hook doesnt was to install i click on the Download button but then just takes me to other AB software. If you can please help me
AND he's off. Most annoying thing a person can do on the internet. Happy to ask for help, unwilling to help others. If you root around a bit on the page you'll find it. You click the link, it'll redirect you to the main page. At the top you'll see "Script Hook RDR2 is released". Click THAT link and you should be able to D/L it. God only knows why. The URL is exactly the same.@@Derma22
I thought trying to add mods on RDR2 would be a doozy because of all the steps that you needed just to make using them possible. Your video was simple and easy to follow, thank you =) I tried the mods and they worked but unfortunately, it made the game unplayable for me. I downloaded a few and I shit you not, bears spawned in the sky (lol) and spawned in places where they shouldn't have like Valentine. While this was entertaining, it also made NPC's like butchers, other riders and literally every single player in a town to attack me randomly when I had no warrants. Mods make games more entertaining and fun but after that fiasco, I'll just stick with the game in game content. I think the biggest culprit was likely Lenny's Mod Loader which tries to do too much in one mod. I really wish Rockstar was more flexible and open to people modding their games. It's a compliment to mod or enhance a game, not an insult. They didn't use basic vanilla engines like Skyrim.
Man im here to save you I found the answer just right click to the red Modmanger.ui icon> properties> Compatibility> Run this program as an administrator> Apply/Ok If you run the game and the game crashes just turn off all mods and try to on one mod then the other I hope this was helpful
If this is still the case, install the older version of the mod. The latest one uploaded IS missing the LML folder which is why you're having this issue. The older version isn't missing this folder and therefore this should fix your issue
I figured it out what I did is that I kinda wimped out of modding and re installed rdr2 and when I tried to download the lml again I gave me no issues maybe that’s the answer you guys needed 😊
Take the game out of « Program Files » folder. That folder has extra protection from Windows and it’s a known thing that it randomly might block access to mods, preventing them from reading the content, hence not finding the « LML » folder. You can disable « Controlled folder access » in Windows Defender if you don’t want to move your game’s install location and it should work as well but I’ve heard it’s pretty finicky
Please let people know that mods will force you to be stuck on two missions leading up to playing as John Marston I believe, or 1 leading up and 1 as John Marston. You can just play without your mods and play through these 2 missions when you get to them to fix the issues. Other than that nice video!
No. Sorry to disagree, but, trying to be helpful. There's several things at play that can cause crashing. "Too many" isn't one of them. 1) Lenny's (modmanger.exe) - r-click, "run as administrator." 2) modloader.exe must be in its OWN FOLDER, NOT next to rdr2.exe, base-game folder. This video showed installation into its own folder - that's ok. But many go wrong here, and dump ALL the lenny's files into the the base (Red Dead Redemption 2) folder. That's wrong. 3) Are you on Vulkan? DX12 is a joke for the game. Just like this vid says, you need Vulkan. 4) Did you try checking the .log files to see what failed to load or threw an error? modmanger.log, asiloader.log, scripthookrdr2.log, and vfs.log will tell you what you need to know. Ask for help in forums or the dev's comments/bug area directly, and upload the log files so people can help. 5) Updated video card drivers? Verified game files in steam? (If steam version.) 6) LOAD ORDER MATTERS! I'm not good at this, few are. But basically, mods on top/bottom of the list MATTERS. Mods on top = load first. Mods on bottom = load last. Naturally, total overhaul mods need to load first. Next, mods that depend on them, need to be loaded. IE - Offline Files mod is a HUGE game change. The mods requiring it, of course, need to come AFTER it. IE you don't put gas in the bus until the bus is present in the station! :) 4) Outdated / broken / mods incompatible with each other. Sometimes you gotta read the comments/description. But basically, you shouldn't install mods that alter the same file. Like, "cameras.ymt." Whichever mod is loaded LAST, can OVERWRITE the file required by the mod above it. I WANT that in some cases. Whichever mod is most imprtant to work fully for you, load last, and check "overwrite" button. If you have 50 mods, it's tough, but you can make that work. The trick is - READ EVERYTHING about them. Make sure they work individually, next, restart game again and again - adding a few new mods at a time. Start with most important. Make it stable. Add ONE at a time, after that. Be sure to SAVE with that SAVE button in lenny's, once you get the order correct. SAVE ALSO a copy of "Mods.xml" in the lml folder to your Documents somewhere, each time you change it. It's a record of your changes. "It worked fine on Thursday last month, but now, I find something is critically broken. Time to roll back to what I had Thursday last month." Label the folders with dates, and you're good. Good luck! Edit: Also, are your mods too old? Most 2021, and early 2022 mods - don't work anymore. A folder called "replace" or "stream" = extremely old. 2023 and newer mods for lenny's instead have a file called "install.xml." They're much more likely to be new enough to work!
I've been installing mods since the days of DOS 5.0 when you had to manually hook them into the executable with edlin.exe, and trying to figure out what to do with RDR2 in 2024 is the most bewildering and frustrating hall of mirrors I've ever encountered. Literally every single person who tells you what to use says something completely different. Thanks for giving me some instructions that just work so I can just throw down some QOL mods and play the damn game.
Hey man can u help me please. I have crack version of rdr 2 1311.23 or 12 . I tried using mods but to no avail . Can u please help me how to use mods on cracked version
If you've done this before, make sure _version.dll_ (or less likely) _dinput.dll_ is NOT present in the same Red Dead Redemption 2 folder. You have to choose one, or the other. Check asiloader.log, modmanager.log, and scripthookrdr2.log to find out what's wrong. The first one, is the dinput8.dll log. The .dll file is a running program basically. The scripthook file is it's library. (The book vs person reading the book.)
İ installed gun tricks mod everything was good until one day i started the game i was walking in the camp but suddenly lenny and micah started following me lenny even stole my second horse to catch up to me i ran at full speed until i lost them when i returned to the camp eveery single gang member started to follow me modding is not safe dont try it
god im reading most these comments and people are getting mad saying its so hard and not working, its VERY EASY and worked perfectly fine. Just do exactly what he does and it will work
I find it interesting that you used 'Gun Tricks' as an example mod. That mod page is littered with people who cannot get it working. It requires A) An older build of the game B) Version.DLL (OCU apparently won't fix it. Please spill. How on earth have you got Gun Tricks working?
@@ItsDeepz_ I just tested out something. I plugged in a controller, and lo and behold, it works! Now I just need to figure out why. Thanks for the content. I always watch your videos. I'm a fan. I hope you don't think I'm ragging on you. It's not the case at all.

This video is a huge help, i never get "stream" folders when installing mods and they're just loose inside the lml folder
"Stream" and "Replace" folders - are outdated. You know a mod is REALLY old (2021-2022) when you see it unzip with those folders inside. Beware - they may not work anymore.

- DO NOT install modmanager.exe next to rdr2.exe. It MUST be in it's own folder, by itself.
The way this video is done is fine - just pointing that out, you can go WRONG not knowing this, with game failing to load.
- "Mods" with the ".ASI" file names after them - don't need Lenny's. Just scripthook, and an ASI loader. You drag/drop those files into the main game directory, next to rdr2.exe, and don't need lml folder, or lenny's installed at all.
- Scripthook is the _library_ for scripts.
- The READER of the library, the ASI script LOADER, is the .dll file.
(Old-timer was "version.dll." Newcomer, dinput8.dll.)
- Log files where you can see mod/script loading errors:
- ModManager.log = Lenny's.
- vfs.log = Lenny's also.
- asiloader.log = AB's dinput8.dll.
- ScriptHookRDR2.log = scripthook. (V2, for me, original for others.)
- (Open with notepad or notepad++ to view.)
- (Found in same root game folder with rdr2.exe.)
Also Beware - some mods require specific versions of Scripthook and the accompanying .dll file.
Before Christmas in 2023, people used to just experiment with which .dll file worked for which mods, and decide - based on which mods they wanted to work. After the spring 2024 patches though - chaos. Nothing seems to work right with .50, in May.

Do NOT confuse which one is which, or you should delete/re download / label your folders.
1) Ancient scripthook. 2021, 2022, plus, the over-time updates to it. (On RDR2 mods. com but some are so broken they should be removed from the site!)(Lenny's mod loader download page tells you to go get it. DON'T!)
2) Scripthook, from Alexander Blade's c-dev website. (This vid.) (Most popular.)
3) Scripthook V2* - back on RDR2 mods. com.
*(Latest, worked flawlessly in March-April 2024 - until game patch to .50 version broke it.)
Still KINDA works - with major, major stuttering/lag broken aspects of the .ASI mods. :( However, CONTROL + F12 DURING the game, the control panel, is awesome. You can load/unload scripts while the game is running with a checkbox selection. :)
There's a "Scripthook V2." It was just updated, after years of neglect. It worked PERFECTLY with the game patch .18, that happened in March.
_But Rockstar just broke it with the patch to .50!_ DAMNIT rockstar!
So, right now, we are left with a V2 of Scripthook that is screwing up mods.
Best advice, go back to the OLD AB Scripthook found in this tutorial, on the c-dev site.
You can try the "version.dll" from prior, ancient scripthook instructions - but, people say it's pretty bad.
This is all confusing? Oh yes it is.
Dear God Rockstar - come up with your own mod loaders so we don't have to!! Your game is barely playable without mods. (Camera movements make me barf!) :(
@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking well now
Do certain mods crash the game while in story mode? Or do all mods? I remember a different video you said something about starting mods only in chapter 3 to avoid crashes.
Some mods do some mods don’t. Idk exactly which mods do
it's freaking working thanks a lot maaaaan❤
I think ur supposed to put the mod manager on ur desktop jit but okay
doesnt matter where you put it
@@ItsDeepz_ gotchu
@@ItsDeepz_ have u experience in crashing recently I tried using Lenny simple trainer, and every time I load up story mode. My game just crashes
@@xazho I don’t use that trainer
you earned a subscriber thank you my boy thank you! I've been trying for months to get mods on my new rog ally
i can't download the Script Hook RDR2!
same bro
Works 100%! Literally renewed the game for me! Now time for AK and npc slay!
what scripthook did u use
@@TheCrabProblems for ak? There are tons of mods just google them… i downloaded first one…
@@TheCrabProblems Use the AB one not the V2
@@philippnagel6259 this was 3 months ago i alr fixed it
@@TheCrabProblems Well then
do you know the difference between blade's scripthook and scripthook v2? some mods require v2 and others require blade's but would that rlly matter which one you use?
I only use blades version cause I know it works for me. Idk about the other one. You should only use one or the other though regardless of what the mod requirement suggests
These vides are great, brotha! Simple and clean. This is my 2nd time modding, failed at first, but this time, I got it! Thank you so much for these!!!
For some reason the script hook doesnt was to install i click on the Download button but then just takes me to other AB software. If you can please help me
Nvm mind i found out why
i have the same problem can u tell me what should i do?
how did you fix?@@gooseguy3514
What was the reason? I can't get mine to download@@gooseguy3514
AND he's off. Most annoying thing a person can do on the internet. Happy to ask for help, unwilling to help others. If you root around a bit on the page you'll find it. You click the link, it'll redirect you to the main page. At the top you'll see "Script Hook RDR2 is released". Click THAT link and you should be able to D/L it. God only knows why. The URL is exactly the same.@@Derma22
God damn i just learned after 4 years of red dead that i can have mods.. in 10m i have mods and working thank you.
it keep saying im not logged into rockstar
Hoodmeals waddup big dog I mess wit yo vids🔥🔥
I thought trying to add mods on RDR2 would be a doozy because of all the steps that you needed just to make using them possible. Your video was simple and easy to follow, thank you =) I tried the mods and they worked but unfortunately, it made the game unplayable for me. I downloaded a few and I shit you not, bears spawned in the sky (lol) and spawned in places where they shouldn't have like Valentine. While this was entertaining, it also made NPC's like butchers, other riders and literally every single player in a town to attack me randomly when I had no warrants. Mods make games more entertaining and fun but after that fiasco, I'll just stick with the game in game content. I think the biggest culprit was likely Lenny's Mod Loader which tries to do too much in one mod. I really wish Rockstar was more flexible and open to people modding their games. It's a compliment to mod or enhance a game, not an insult. They didn't use basic vanilla engines like Skyrim.
bruh i give up i rewatched and redid everything 10 times and it still says missing lml folder🤦♂️
Same and there’s no answer idk why 🥲
Man im here to save you I found the answer just right click to the red Modmanger.ui icon> properties> Compatibility> Run this program as an administrator> Apply/Ok
If you run the game and the game crashes just turn off all mods and try to on one mod then the other
I hope this was helpful
If this is still the case, install the older version of the mod. The latest one uploaded IS missing the LML folder which is why you're having this issue. The older version isn't missing this folder and therefore this should fix your issue
@@CarCoolant nah it ended up working after a few days of trying
@@shclim-uc7nb aah Gotchu
W video very clear and right to the point.
Missing LML folder when I literally see the fucking folder in my game files.
Same and there’s no answer 😢
I figured it out what I did is that I kinda wimped out of modding and re installed rdr2 and when I tried to download the lml again I gave me no issues maybe that’s the answer you guys needed 😊
Smokedope pfp W
@@kolonataurus lmao ty
Take the game out of « Program Files » folder.
That folder has extra protection from Windows and it’s a known thing that it randomly might block access to mods, preventing them from reading the content, hence not finding the « LML » folder.
You can disable « Controlled folder access » in Windows Defender if you don’t want to move your game’s install location and it should work as well but I’ve heard it’s pretty finicky
8:00 u broke my damn heart i was installing everything from the beginning man
So the best time to install the mods is on or after chapter 3 and will anymore work at the beginning?
Prologue is sketchy. Chapter 2 is good
This helped me so much! Thanks dude!
I did everything. The mod manager shows the mods installed but the trainer won't show up in game like you said.
Hearts ur comment but no reply lmfao
@@Skq-p8p What should he respond?
@@philippnagel6259 nothing, ignore it n delete it. But not heart it n do fuck all lmao
@@Skq-p8p Lol
Please let people know that mods will force you to be stuck on two missions leading up to playing as John Marston I believe, or 1 leading up and 1 as John Marston. You can just play without your mods and play through these 2 missions when you get to them to fix the issues. Other than that nice video!
Can too many mods cause game to load in the loading screen and just crash??
Sure can
No. Sorry to disagree, but, trying to be helpful.
There's several things at play that can cause crashing. "Too many" isn't one of them.
1) Lenny's (modmanger.exe) - r-click, "run as administrator."
2) modloader.exe must be in its OWN FOLDER, NOT next to rdr2.exe, base-game folder.
This video showed installation into its own folder - that's ok. But many go wrong here, and dump ALL the lenny's files into the the base (Red Dead Redemption 2) folder. That's wrong.
3) Are you on Vulkan? DX12 is a joke for the game. Just like this vid says, you need Vulkan.
4) Did you try checking the .log files to see what failed to load or threw an error?
modmanger.log, asiloader.log, scripthookrdr2.log, and vfs.log will tell you what you need to know.
Ask for help in forums or the dev's comments/bug area directly, and upload the log files so people can help.
5) Updated video card drivers? Verified game files in steam? (If steam version.)
6) LOAD ORDER MATTERS!
I'm not good at this, few are. But basically, mods on top/bottom of the list MATTERS.
Mods on top = load first.
Mods on bottom = load last.
Naturally, total overhaul mods need to load first. Next, mods that depend on them, need to be loaded.
IE - Offline Files mod is a HUGE game change.
The mods requiring it, of course, need to come AFTER it.
IE you don't put gas in the bus until the bus is present in the station! :)
4) Outdated / broken / mods incompatible with each other.
Sometimes you gotta read the comments/description. But basically, you shouldn't install mods that alter the same file. Like, "cameras.ymt."
Whichever mod is loaded LAST, can OVERWRITE the file required by the mod above it.
I WANT that in some cases. Whichever mod is most imprtant to work fully for you, load last, and check "overwrite" button.
If you have 50 mods, it's tough, but you can make that work.
The trick is - READ EVERYTHING about them. Make sure they work individually, next, restart game again and again - adding a few new mods at a time.
Start with most important. Make it stable. Add ONE at a time, after that.
Be sure to SAVE with that SAVE button in lenny's, once you get the order correct.
SAVE ALSO a copy of "Mods.xml" in the lml folder to your Documents somewhere, each time you change it. It's a record of your changes.
"It worked fine on Thursday last month, but now, I find something is critically broken. Time to roll back to what I had Thursday last month."
Label the folders with dates, and you're good.
Good luck!
Edit: Also, are your mods too old? Most 2021, and early 2022 mods - don't work anymore. A folder called "replace" or "stream" = extremely old. 2023 and newer mods for lenny's instead have a file called "install.xml." They're much more likely to be new enough to work!
@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking old doesn’t mean anything. Other wise most of the mods I use wouldn’t work false info duuude
Great Video Dude helped me a lot
whenever I click the rdr2 folder to save it in lml it just shows settings and profile in the folder
Me too
Wrong Folder you need the Game folder not the game data folder
@@philippnagel6259 thank you
I've been installing mods since the days of DOS 5.0 when you had to manually hook them into the executable with edlin.exe, and trying to figure out what to do with RDR2 in 2024 is the most bewildering and frustrating hall of mirrors I've ever encountered. Literally every single person who tells you what to use says something completely different. Thanks for giving me some instructions that just work so I can just throw down some QOL mods and play the damn game.
I've been playing skyrim for years and now started playing RDR2.... I feel like I've just grown a pair, seriously lol
8:00 worked fine for my cracked version, well after i found a better guide anyway
Hey man can u help me please. I have crack version of rdr 2 1311.23 or 12 . I tried using mods but to no avail . Can u please help me how to use mods on cracked version
my rdr2 doesnt start when i have the dinput8.dll with the mod loader but if i remove the dll it starts?
same issue, do you solve it?
If you've done this before, make sure _version.dll_ (or less likely) _dinput.dll_ is NOT present in the same Red Dead Redemption 2 folder. You have to choose one, or the other.
Check asiloader.log, modmanager.log, and scripthookrdr2.log to find out what's wrong. The first one, is the dinput8.dll log. The .dll file is a running program basically. The scripthook file is it's library. (The book vs person reading the book.)
Great video! easy to follow
Bro can you make tutorial to Exquisite Surplus Equipment mod how to install it !

Yooo I just came from your TikTok😂
This is actually really hard😅

god im reading most these comments and people are getting mad saying its so hard and not working, its VERY EASY and worked perfectly fine. Just do exactly what he does and it will work
That’s what I’m sayin lol 😂
I find it interesting that you used 'Gun Tricks' as an example mod. That mod page is littered with people who cannot get it working. It requires A) An older build of the game B) Version.DLL (OCU apparently won't fix it. Please spill. How on earth have you got Gun Tricks working?
I use the latest version of the game
With online content unlocker lol so idk 🤷🏿
@@ItsDeepz_ I just tested out something. I plugged in a controller, and lo and behold, it works! Now I just need to figure out why. Thanks for the content. I always watch your videos. I'm a fan. I hope you don't think I'm ragging on you. It's not the case at all.
I've found a fix if you're a keyboard mouse user. Check the Gun Tricks comments.
Thank you bro. You made my day! 👍👍
No problem 👍🤠
