After many years of people's requests and petitions, its finally here. A small mod that begun as a model swapping test for Lambda's new file streaming method, became an ambitious project to fully restore John Marston back to his prime.

 

This mod restores John Marston's beta assets, such as his beta head models, clothes, hair and more.

 

Some of the features included are:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ALL of the assets above are included as Add On clothes, they don't replace any asset ingame. To buy them, you need to go to the fence, as seen here:

 

 

 

Unique hairstyles for John were also added, with the correct dark brown hair color and without affecting Arthur Morgan's hair.

 

 

 

 

Btw, John's classic right parted hair does not clip through the hat.

 

John's npc pants were also included:

 

 

 

 

There are many more features in the mod but then it is too much for this post!

 

 

Requires the latest build of Lenny's Mod Loader.

 

 

 

To install the mod, simply put the folder "LML" in your Red Dead Redemption 2 directory.

I'm returning from a bit of a hiatus, have we stopped posting on the John's hair topic?

I rather use this thread because not only is a RDR2 related website and the admins here - people like LMS -  are really nice people

Ah I misunderstood due to the wording. Photos weren't loading either. 

 

Welp you ain't wrong tho, they did indeed lower the quality of John's player face texture, even John's beta face texture is still half the quality of the npc face texture.

 

The npc face texture is 2048x2048 while the player face texture is 1024x1024

Well, isn't this whole mod about to restore looks from pre-release of RDR2 promotional screens?

Well, in the future, adding John Marston's RDR1 hair wouldn't hurt.

 

This takes me back to the pre-release hype! It's so good to have the John Marston

We've now got a proper RDR1-style face.

Since the latest version of the mod is not compatible with other mods with YMT edits such as Red Dead Offline, i uploaded an old version of the mod (2.0) without any ymt as an optional file.https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/478?tab=files

Can this mod break the save game when add-on clothes are bought and mod is removed (i.e to play Online)?

It won't break the save, I've tested it. If you remove the Mod, the add-on clothes will just disappear and the character will wear the shirt you put inside the coat/vest. If you add the clothes back on(without changing clothes setting for the character after removing the mod), they will appear again.

Added some new comparison images to the mod page and figured would be nice to post them here too.

 

 

 

 

Could you make the new beta high neckerchief optional? It clips a lot with the neck.
