Real Army Uniform Mod

🎖️ Historical background

I redesigned the army uniforms to be closer to their authentic historical appearance. The blue uniform was used in the American Indian Wars and the Spanish-American War, while the khaki uniform was introduced to the U.S. military during the Spanish-American War in 1898, but was not issued to all soldiers. Interestingly, as early as 1884, some soldiers were issued nutmeg canvas uniforms similar to khaki.

📜 Uniform Specification Reference

Uniform details based on real historical data:

**Late American Indian Wars:**

  • Enlisted soldiers wear dark blue wool fatigue tops or dark blue wool heavy shirts
  • Paired with sky blue wool trousers
  • In 1884, some soldiers were issued nutmeg cotton canvas jackets and trousers

**Spanish-American War Period:**

  • Soldiers may wear early uniforms or khaki tops with khaki pants

**Rank Stripe Mark:**

  • Corporal: ½ inch leg stripe
  • Sergeant: 1 inch leg stripe
  • Officer: 1½" leg stripe

**Military Color Identification:**

  • Artillery: Red
  • Cavalry: Lemon yellow was used before 1886, then changed to dark yellow
  • Staff Officer: dark blue (1898 khaki uniform)
  • Infantry: dark blue (officers' sky blue) before 1885, then changed to white, and in 1902 to sky blue

🎮 Installation Guide

  • Download the required module files
  • Drag the lml folder into the game directory
  • Done! Enjoy the game!

**Game directory location:**

  • Steam version: Library > Right click on Red Dead Redemption 2 > Manage > Browse Local Files
  • Rockstar Launcher: Settings > View installed games > Select Red Dead Redemption 2 > View installation folder

💡 Usage suggestions

Players who want to play as a US soldier can use a mod trainer such as Rampage Trainer to switch the player model to mp_male to obtain complete movement and weapon aiming functions. Remember to save your game before switching!

**Rampage Trainer users:**

In-game open the trainer menu > Player > Wardrobe > Model Changer > Search for Peds > Enter mp_male and select in the Human category. From there all the costumes I made (including the poncho and two Boer War outfits) can be selected.

🙏 Special thanks

Thanks to Sergeant Joe for his help with the YMT files and his excellent YMT Helper, YMT Unhasher and Pedestrian Gallery tools!

🔮 Future update plan

  • Add more facial, hairstyle and equipment variations
  • Add body shape expressions (overweight, thin, average, different neck circumference, abdomen, shoulder width, etc.)
  • Add military rank armband logo

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.
