RDR2 Post-Game Save Bundle
🎮 **One-sentence introduction:** This is a set of carefully crafted post-final save files, designed to provide a more challenging and goal-oriented starting point for your free mode journey!

✨ Core Features
- **Rich starting options**: Provide up to **14** different starting capital options, from a rich **$20,000** to a destitute **$0**, there is always one that suits your desire for challenge!
- **PRESERVED GAME CONTENT**: Based on TheRaptorMovies' excellent save pack, **most side quests, stranger quests, and activities are retained**, ensuring your world won't be empty.
- **Streamlined starting configuration**: John's wardrobe is small, and the starting horse is a thoroughbred **"Rachel"** (in the "Beggars Edition" it is an ordinary Morgan horse).
- **Cleared Inventory**: Removed **most of the guns, food and potions** in the inventory, giving you plenty of reasons to earn and collect them again.
- **Create an "online mode"-like experience**: By controlling starting resources, behaviors such as making money, hunting, and fishing become meaningful again, simulating an economic experience closer to "Red Dead Online".

📁 Detailed explanation of archived version
**Standard version (v1.0)**
Contains a series of archives with decreasing starting capital, allowing you to start at the difficulty level you want.
**v1.1 New: Beggar Edition**
The ultimate challenge for hardcore gamers!
- **Starting Capital**: **$0**, truly starting from scratch.
- **Mount**: Replaced "Rachel" with an ordinary **Morgan horse**, which is more in line with the "from scratch" setting.
- **Arsenal**: Further streamlined, John initially only carries **two Minotaur revolvers and a carbine repeating rifle**. You need to hunt (recommend using a bow first) to earn money to buy better rifles.
- **Recommended crowd**: Players who love starting from scratch and enjoy the process of accumulating wealth step by step.

🛠️ Production and Acknowledgments
This archive collection was not created from scratch, but stood on the shoulders of giants:
- **TheRaptorMovies**: Provides a basic **RDR2 archive package**, which contains multiple node archives from the third chapter to the end of the final chapter, and retains the branch content to the greatest extent.
- **bolmin70**: Used his powerful **Gun Selling Mod** to clear out John's arsenal, and referenced the philosophy of his **Bank Mod** to adjust funds (*Note: You do not need to install the Bank Mod to use this save*).
- **bigshot103**: Its **Sandbox Archive** was the original inspiration for this project.

💡 Usage suggestions and experiences
- **Funding Options**: The author personally highly recommends starting with **$100 or less**. In this way, every dollar is hard-earned, and hunting for perfect pelts, fishing, gambling, and even robbery (or working on a farm if you don't mind making a little money) will become your important source of income, greatly enhancing the immersion and sense of purpose of the game.
- **Solution to Endgame Pain Points**: This archive is designed to solve three common problems after clearing the level:
- Nothing to do (solved by keeping side content).
- Too much money is meaningless (solved by controlling the starting capital).
- The world feels empty and lonely (the retention of side quests ensures that John can still meet many people and trigger plot points).
- **Recommended Modules**: In order to enrich the game experience after the final chapter, it is recommended to match **bolmin70**'s other modules. You can find more interesting content on his personal page.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- 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.
