Can play as the Vanderlinde Gang
🎮 **Welcome to the West! ** This mod allows you to play as each member of the Van der Linde Gang in "Red Dead Redemption 2" and experience their unique lives.
✨ Core Functions
- **Playable by all**: Transfer Arthur Morgan's characteristics to all gang members, including 23 characters including Charles, Sadie, Micah, etc.!
- **Immersive Experience**: Each character has the correct weapon reload animation, no more getting stuck due to running out of ammo.
- **Dynamic Interaction**: When greeting or colliding with an NPC, the corresponding voice dialogue will be triggered (although the greetings of some characters are limited by time).
- **Exclusive Ability**: Inherit the Dead Eye (Eagle Eye) and Core Consumption (Weight) systems.
🛠️ Installation and requirements
**Required Mods:**
- Lenny's Mod Loader
- Lenny's Outfit Changer
**Recommended tools:**
- It is highly recommended to use Rampage Trainer to switch characters and costumes in the game, it is more powerful and advanced than Lenny's Simple Trainer.
- *Tip: If you encounter character death or flying bug, please delete the `LennysSimpleTrainer.dll` file in the `Lenny's Simple Trainer` folder. *

⚠️ Known issues and solutions
- **Infinite loading screens? ** ➜ Please update Lenny's Mod Loader.
- **Female character invisible after loading? **/**Male characters appear as broken Arthur models after loading? **
- Use the Outfit Changer to load an outfit for the character you choose to solve the problem.
- **Characters (in NPC form) affected by the mod will not greet you or others. **
- **Small gender identification bias**: When playing as a female gang member, most NPCs will correctly identify you, but some script-generated random NPCs will still identify you as "Arthur Morgan" (or "John Marston"/"Mr." in the epilogue).
- **MEN EXCLUSIVE ACTIVITY**: Cooking. Because the camp uses male animation, the game currently does not allow female characters.
💾 Archives and Tips
- The module zip package contains **save files for all 23 characters**. Since the game can only save up to 16 archives, please choose carefully.
- **Strongly recommend backing up your own original save! ** This way you can easily return to your game progress after uninstalling the mod.
- You can also easily create your own character save using the save editor.

Still doubting whether the greeting function works? Watch this video! It proves that the greeting function is working normally, although the triggering of some NPCs has a time limit (this is set by Rockstar and cannot be modified).

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.
