Hosea And Dutch's Redemption

🎮 Module function

In this alternate universe mod, you can play as two legends from Red Dead Redemption 2: **Hosea Matthews** and **Dutch Vanderlinde** in story mode! The mod retains the character's original voice, but finely tweaks the appearance.

✨ Featured Content

  • **Hosea's hairstyle**: Parted on the right side
  • **Dutch's hairstyle**: NPC and original hairstyle (middle parted gradient and right parted gradient)
  • **Character Replacement**: Mary Linton's facial model was replaced with an unused Acrobatic Girl model

⚠️ Known issues and tips

  • **Hosea Winter Wear**: Minor mold wear issues on the arms in the Corte area
  • **Hosea Summer Outfit**: Missing hand parts, need to be fixed via the outfit modification button
  • **First person perspective**: The aiming perspective is offset due to Hosea's aiming animation. Arthur's original aiming animation can be restored by editing the default.meta file.

🔧 Installation Guide

  • Place the file into the RDR2 game directory
  • This mod may conflict with mods that use metapeds.ymt and shop_items.ymt files
  • Place this module at the bottom of the loading order in ModManager.UI

🛠️ Custom settings

If you don't like certain character substitutions, you can:

  • Removed edited original character in "stream" file
  • Delete gxt2 content in text files
  • Restore the character's "Meta_Base" to its original state in metapeds.ymt

🔮Future updates

The author plans to make an alternative add-on that will make John the leader of the gang, so stay tuned!

Enjoy this mod and experience the fun of playing as these two legendary outlaws in the Wild West! 🤠

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.
