RDR1 John Marston body and arms

🎮 **Return to the classic look of John Marston’s arms in “Red Dead Redemption 1”! **

✨ Module function

This mod transforms John Marston's original **pale and hairy arms** into an accurate version that is more in line with the settings of the original "Red Dead Redemption"!

  • **🌞 Tanned Arms**: His arms now have a healthy tan.
  • **💪 Smooth Skin**: Removes excess arm hair and looks leaner.
  • **🧔 Reduced body hair**: The hair on the chest is also significantly reduced.

🎯 Compatibility range

This mod is suitable for:

  • **Epilogue John** (first and third person perspectives)
  • **NPC John** (John who appears in other parts of the game)
  • Compatible with both **JMRP Outfit** and **NPC John's Classic Cowboy Outfit**.

🤝 Best partner

At the same time, it also works perfectly with GuiCORLEONE’s **NPC Classic Denim Outfit** module:

  • The Classic Cowboy - RDR1 Accurate Cowboy Outfit for John Marston

⚙️ Installation instructions

  • **Required Tools**: You need Lenny's Mod Loader (LML) mod manager.

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.
