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.

Heres 2 parts of my directory, top and bottom: All the ASI files are mods, then i use reshade, so if you dont have those then dont worry thats just my directory, not how its supposed to look like for you. If you have ASI mods then yes they will be in your RDR2 directory. But i have both LML mods which in the first pic you can see lml at the top, all lml mods go in there. Then all ASI mods go into the main directory. A good mod load order? I dont use the mod manager i do everything manually, and everything gets loaded as far as im aware based on the name of the mod in alphabetical order, never had an issue with it. But ya show me a pic and let me see what your running. Yes, but how old are you talking about as im using the dinput8.dll from 2024 only reason is i just havent gotten around to updating it to the latest, and tbh its been working fine regardless. Mods that require version.dll? Idk what mods are you using that require version.dll? Maybe remove version.dll and see if those mods work with dinput8.dll but you cant run both dinput8.dll and version.dll

There is AB Scripthook and V2 both use a dinput8.dll but use only one not both, i suggest using V2 version and no version.dll You dont need version.dll its not the same as the dinput8.dll. Mod your trying to use based on your OP is an lml mod you dont even need Scripthook, you need Lenny's Mod loader, i would recommend installing that manually so you see a folder in your RDR2 directory that is named lml then all lml mods are put into that folder. If your using and or installing an ASI mod then its name will be modname.asi and ASI mods normally require Scripthook. Different versions of the same mods are usually running different functions/features, most times its just one or the other not both, so i suggest if you see two versions of a mod look for any information on either, either through the mod's post tab, or reviews, questions ect,.

Which is it? Your trying to get Red Dead Offline to work specifically? Or you also asking about Scripthook based asi mods? Red Dead Offline is an lml mod, you need Lenny's mod loader to run that, hence the instructions on the mod page: "Installation Download with Mod Manager from here or drag and drop the extracted folder into your LML folder so that you have a structure like "Red Dead Redemption 2\lml\red_dead_offline". Please make sure to have Lenny's Simple Trainer or Outfit Changer installed to load all multiplayer components! So locate and install Lenny's mod loader, Lenny's simple trainer, or use Outfit Changer as per the instructions, what i bolded above. I would just start with LML and go from there.

As you can see in the settings itself of the ini, it disables the startup, overlay, and interface, unless your using something for developing a mod or working on a script their really not needed. Disadvantages? Not really, game wont load with it enabled so that is a disadvantage just having it enabled, outside that idk, im sure someone else could comment on the subject, but imo your not losing anything with those set.

ATTENTION - change in versions There was an issue discovered on the mod page's changelog. The changelog on the description tab drop down menu wasn't updating to version 1.36 when i added it on May 10th, 2025. Looking into it i discovered that there cant be version numbers with letters in them for example v1.34A thats what screwed up the order. So i had to change the version numbers of v1.34A to v1.35 and v1.35 to v1.36. Latest and last update that was posted on May 10th,2025 was considered version 1.36 but its really v1.37 I had reuploaded the latest version that was labeled v1.36 to v1.37 so that the actual zip file is renamed Bandit_Hideouts v1.37 ======================= So you understand the latest version of the mod is v1.37 not v1.36 if you downloaded v1.36 previously on May 10th, 2025 then you dont need the latest version v1.37 because you already have it. ==================== If your new to the mod and haven't downloaded any files, then v1.37 Main File is what you want. If your updating from a previous version and want to get the latest version then v1.37 is what you want. Any questions regarding this then ask, sorry for the inconvenience and confusion.

Update v1.37 - Expanded Abandoned Mission hideout with new props. - Expanded Plainview hideout with new props. - Added new props to Cueva Seca hideout. - Added new props to Benedict Hill hideout. - Added new props to Mercer station hideout. - Added new props to Pleasance House hideout.

Oh you mean my mod 😉 Ya both work fine with ScripthookRDR2 V2. All i can suggest with Scripthooks is to make sure your using the latest Dinput8.dll which is the asi loader and then if AB Scripthook gives you issues or the game isn't loading right or the mod is acting funny then use the v2 version. I switched to the V2 version, updated my dinput8.dll and switched to the Vulkin api late last year and i've had nothing but great performance and a solid game. Update your dinput8.dll The dinput8.dll that comes with AB Scripthook is out of date, its from 2021, the latest update for dinput8.dll is from July 2024 unless they update it again in the future. You can get it from this website: https://github.com/ThirteenAG/Ultimate-ASI-Loader/releases If you want an added performance i highly recommend this mod Unknown Error FFFFFFFF Fix mod hope that helps!
