Play As Gang Members And More (PAGM)
🎭 Module function
Now you can play as every member of the Van der Linde gang, even Dutch himself! This mod changes your player model from Arthur to another character (such as Javier) without modifying the model script.
You can play as Arthur as normal, without encountering the issue of not being able to auto-save after completing a mission, or the weird hair and beard issues that occur when playing as other characters in cutscenes.
✨ **Death Eyes now work properly! **

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE
Delete any METAPEDS files you see in the LML, otherwise the mod will not work.
(If you want hair and beard functionality, you will also need to delete the store item files)

🛠️ Installation Guide
- Start RDR2 and equip the boxer costume. This will prevent certain bugs from occurring. After completion, exit the game and start the installation.
- Download the file and put the replace and stream folders into the lml directory
- Load RDR2, enter story mode, save the game and load the save file just now
- Exit the game and load it again. Arthur should be deformed at this time.
- Use the trainer to switch costumes and you should now be able to play the chosen character normally.
If you encounter problems during the installation process, you can follow the specific character folders in the mod folder.

💇 Fixed hair and beard bug in cutscenes

- For the beard, select the Pencil Mustache option and adjust the slider
Option 2
- Install WhyEm's DLC and enter the game
- Choose WhyEm’s Kurt hairstyle at the barber shop
- Exit the game and remove WhyEm's DLC

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.
