How could a rancher become as thin as a bamboo pole if he did physical labor all day long and had people cooking high-protein meals for him? This doesn't make sense.

About this mod Machine translation

How could a rancher become as thin as a bamboo pole if he did physical labor all day long and had people cooking high-protein meals for him? This doesn't make sense.

StrongJohn

💪 Module introduction

John's body structure is smaller than Arthur's, so increasing his Size value will have a more muscular effect. Ranch life will definitely allow him to gain some healthy weight, and it's my first attempt at modeling what a happy, healthy John should look like.

🎯 Design Concept

I'm not planning on making a super muscular John, it's really not something I can imagine. Others are encouraged to try it out using the player size editing template though.

⚙️ Installation instructions

  • Installed into your RDR2 directory while playing as John
  • Do not install any other script mods with the same functionality at the same time (currently these are all made by me)
  • Cannot be installed at the same time as other mods that edit the player character's body type, such as the Giga-Arthur or Muscle Morgan mods
  • This mod specifically adjusts the character model of John Marston, not Arthur Morgan

📝 Notes

  • This mod uses different values, specifically tuned for John's character model
  • Not sure what effect it will have on Arthur, and not interested in testing it
  • Make sure to back up your game files before installing

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.
