⚙️ Installation instructions

**Please note: This is a script file and needs to be started after moving the file to the correct path. If you do not follow the installation instructions exactly, the script will not work. **

  • Download Bigger Horses but Better main file
  • If you do not have the horse's .ymt file in the lml/stream directory, please also download "Default Horse Files"
  • Extract all files in "Bigger Horses but Better.rar" to the lml/stream folder in the RDR2 directory
  • If you downloaded "Default Horse Files.rar" in step 2, also extract all files in it to the lml/stream folder

**Finally make sure that the lml/stream folder contains both the .ymt file and the script file**

  • You can run "Run this for making horses bigger" or "Run this for making horses smaller"
💡 **Tip: Each time you run the script, the horses will get bigger/smaller. You can run the script multiple times to enhance the effect**
  • Just double-click the script and it will process all the horse files, making the horses larger or smaller based on your selection
  • **Done! ** Now you can start the game

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
