NPC development and model exchange - basics and resources

🎯Mod Overview

This mod finally has a version, and I'm excited to make this resource available to everyone!

📚Contains content

  • All unhashed YMT files
  • Two detailed tutorials to teach you how to edit model parts and textures of RDR2 NPCs
  • Three-step teaching guide with pictures and texts

💡Technical features

This is a very lightweight and optimized method that allows you to:

  • ✅ Add, remove or replace any NPC's clothing parts
  • ✅ Modify body parts
  • ✅ Change texture map

🛠️ Recommended tools

Although these tools are not required, their use is highly recommended:

  • **The Pedestrian Gallery** - helps you better browse and select NPC models
  • **YMT Helper** - Significantly saves editing time and reduces frustration

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE

Please note that while these are based on the original game files, they have been dehashed and therefore differ from their original state.

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.
