Sorry Im new to gaming PC & ive downloaded a trainer mod but it says to put it in root folder for RDR2 and I cant find it. I know its probably very simple but can someone lead me in the right direction?

Hey Sixsky,

 

the root folder is the installation folder (usually "C:\Program Data\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2").

Depending on the language setting of your operating system, the "Program Data" folder may have a different name.

If you have the game icon on your desktop you can right click it and click on open file location to get to the root folder

 

i right click on it but it doesnt give me the the opition to choose open file location minecraft is the only game that when i right click on it i can open thew file location

Ok, open steam right click rdr2 select properties go to the local files tab and click browse local files and it should open the root folder for it

Where did you put Lennys Simple Trainer? Because if it works, you have probably already put it into the root folder.

i just downloaded lennys simple trainer and it worked

 

Try this C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Red Dead Redemption 2

Do you have to put every mod into a seperate folder or just leave them in the root folder as they are?

No, mods have their own requirements based on what they are.

You have two basic mod types, LML and ASI, one goes into a folder, the other goes into the root directory.

Lml mods or also known as Lenny Mod loader mods, Lml mods have a folder you put them into, most of

those mods come as folders which go into the lml folder.

Then you have ASI mods which are mods which all go into the root game directory,

which if you have the game on steam would be here:

C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Red Dead Redemption 2

keep in mind that asi mods have requirements too, some work by themselves, but most require an external files like Scripthook.

Some lml mods may be good by themselves, depends what they do, but some lml mods mat require other external type files,

like Rampage trainer, or offline content unlocker as examples, those are also mods.

For ASI mods, most times they mainly require AB Scripthook, or the updated version which is ScripthookRDR2 V2.

My suggestion is if you want to use a mod in your game, then read the details on the mod page on what that mod does,

what to expect, what to look for, and then preview the files, look for any requirements it may have.

I would also suggest before you download and install any mod to review any comments, or posts be it here on this website,

or the Nexus website for comments discussing the mod.

What you want to look for is players either asking questions, about issues with the mod, or just general stuff.

imo if you see alot of comments where players are complaining or asking about something not working, or some problem, and

you dont see the author's reply then imo try to look for any comments that may provide answers, fixes or a work around for

whatever issue that mod may have if any.

Dont just look at comments and go and ask a question, you got to put your two cents together, look at when the comments were posted,

what their talking about and whether the author responded, and or still responds, and look at the time/date at when they responded.

Authors that dont respond either moved on, or are to busy to reply or simply not interested, or dont have notifications on

to tell them someone replied.

So keep in mind that if you ask a question to an author about something in the mod and you haven't seen him respond to previous

questions, then ... your wasting your time. Though others could respond and may know the answer to whatever your asking,

so if you have a question do some research first, and then if nothing is found then post the question in general.

Search first then ask questions.

Hope that helps.
