      Sometimes Vortex does not add empty folders. To fix this issue you can manually create a folder in your game directory called "lml" or you can save some type of document (I recommend a .txt document) inside the lml folder before you add the Mod Loader folder into Vortex. Remember that if you manually create the folder then it will not be managed by Vortex.

      @@Deafmatch46I'm not entirely sure why that is happening, I'm going to have to do some more research on how LML does folder detection before I can definitively say. In the meantime some basic checks you can do might solve it.
      1. Make 100% sure you named the folder correctly. LML but all lowercase so "lml" any other characters and it will not work.
      2. Make sure you have installed the game into a folder that is not a folder or a sub folder that is directly managed by the OS. Program Files (x86) can cause issues.
      3. In the same folder as the ModManager.UI.exe that you click to launch LML; there is a file called modmanager.ini this is the settings for LML. Make sure both the folder paths in the .ini file match the locations of the actual folders. Here is my settings in the file:
      [Main]
      GameFolder=C:\Steam Library\steamapps\common\Red Dead Redemption 2
      DownloadFolder=download
      ExtractionFolder=C:\Steam Library\steamapps\common\Red Dead Redemption 2\lml\downloader
      4. If none of the above work then try to manually install the mod loader the way the readme.txt says to do it. If that doesn't fix it then delete all your LML files and download it again. It is possible to get a corrupted download however extremely rare. If that doesn't work then let me know what errors you're getting and we'll go from there.
      If you do # 4 remember that those files are in your game folder until you delete them or uninstall the game.

    If this doesn't work for some, it might be because ScriptHook is not installed correctly. Inside the ScriptHook folder, you should move the files from the "bin" folder to the ScriptHook root directory before dropping the folder into Vortex.

      That's a fair criticism. I like to make my tutorials as beginner friendly as possible, but others will find it tedious. I tried to break up the video into sections to make it easier to skip to the part you want to know. Would you have preferred a video of just instructions with no explanation? Or would you prefer the video to be broken up into more sections to make it easier to find only the instructions?

      @@ModApocalypse There is needless explanation in multiple parts and useless information such as showing off your Skyrim mods for seemingly no reason. We are here for RDR2 and how to mod it specifically, random talking, and redundant parts of information. I understand you are human and you keep these things in here and it doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad video. Still, we're watching a tutorial for modding the game properly, and telling us you have 800+ mods in Skyrim adds nothing to the video when I could watch someone straight to the point that also gives nearly the same amount of information. I will say that I have learned the most about modding RDR2 from this video, no other video told us to unpack as is for ASI mods, or anywhere near as much information about putting the files into LML, but at the same time most other videos are 8-16 minutes long. This is 30 minutes and I still chose to watch this at 1.5x speed and it feels like you're talking normally.

I actually made this because of a request of my subscribers. I seriously didn't think there would be more than 50-100 people who ever saw it. I left it in because I was awkwardly hinting to my loyal viewers that I was going to start releasing Skyrim modding tutorials. Because they had all requested I show them how to mod RDR2. I had no idea there was this many people interested in RDR2 modding tutorials lol. And the truth is there's an audience for both short and long videos.
      My goal was to make a guide that even someone who know nothing could get their game modded without having to watch any other videos. Yeah I explained a few extra things I didn't need to, but at the end of the day the purpose of this video is to educate. The more technical knowledge you have the easier it is to problem solve on your own. Which is basically what I'm trying to teach y'all how to do.
      However the previous commenter has a point. I have posted the same tutorial but one version had all the explanations and the other was as short as possible with only instructions. There's actually about an equal sized audience for both types of videos. Some people want to know everything there is to know, others just want to know how to do it.

    2. Should I create lml folder first before installing the lml or vortex?

    • @ModApocalypse
      @ModApocalypse  6 місяців тому

      It depends what you want to do, there's many ways to do all of this that work. If you're using Vortex install that first, then install Script Hook and LML with Vortex. That would be my recommendation for best option. If you want to do as the mod author instructions say then you don't need Vortex. Vortex is just an easy way to manage all the mod files that are not manged by LML.
      The answer for 2 depends on if you're using Vortex. If you are then you either need to manually create the LML folder in your game folder, or save a file in the LML folder before adding the LML mod files to Vortex. If you're not using Vortex then you don't need to worry about this because installing LML correctly will add a LML folder where it needs to be.

      @alovescallofduty1325 2 місяці тому

      I've been doing it, i agree with this content creator about using vortex and LML. With vortex you can make a mod setup completely reversible by a click of a button and keep your base game free from corruption even though steam has validations. Furthermore in a way you can just merge mods and files by just opening them with file manager and manually adding and replacing files for compatibility reasons and than be able to remove them all out your directory by a click of a button using the program. So the process using vortex is actually fun. One big part he left out however is playing through chapter 1 on vanilla campaign and than get yourself to st.denis the most graphical and things loaded and save the game, that way you can load into it after to test out mods. (its a clean save you can use no matter what mod you add unless a mod specifically says NEW SAVE required)

    • @ModApocalypse
      @ModApocalypse  7 місяців тому

      If a mod is enabled and it's not working that means you installed it incorrectly. If you're 100% sure and have double checked that you installed correctly and still have the problem you can try a few things:
      Try the install process again but do not right click and unpack as is before installing, do everything else the same.
      Unpack script hook download file before dropping it into Vortex. Sometimes this works. (Be sure to unpack as is for this)
      If nothing works try installing it the way the readme.txt says to install, if that doesn't work then either you didn't follow read me instructions or your download is corrupted. Very unlikely download is corrupted, rare but possible.

      Usually that means the mod was not installed correctly, or the mod is for a different game version. Make sure to only have the mod you are testing and its dependencies when you are testing. Other mods can sometimes conflict. Make sure to try all methods of installing the mod, usually if one method works the others will if you do everything correctly. Make sure to read the installation instructions on the mod page.

    • @ModApocalypse
      @ModApocalypse  7 місяців тому

      It is likely you installed incorrectly, or have conflicting files. Start with no mods installed except for the dependencies (script hook). There is two ways of installing rampage, if the way in the video does not work you can instead try download the rampage NUI file from Nexus and press the Mod Manager Download button with Vortex already installed. Let Vortex install it the normal way no need to do anything except install, enable, and deploy. If that does not work then try and install the mod the way the readme.txt says to. If that does not work make sure your game folder is not in a sub folder of the Program (x86) folder. Also there could be conflicting files in your game folder if you have files left over from mods so if you are not sure you might need to do a fresh install of the game. If none of that works delete mod files and re-download, It is possible download was corrupted however very unlikely.

    New to modding and have been following your steps, but I can't get rampage to work? I don't have a whole lot of other mods installed and haven't gotten far enough to test if they work either, but the only thing I can confirm to work is a reshader that I manually installed.

    • @ModApocalypse
      @ModApocalypse  8 місяців тому

      When modding a game for the first it is best to install and test 1 mod at a time that way there are no conflicts or other unforeseen issues. You can do multiple at a time if you want but sometimes that can cause problems and you can wast many hours trying to trouble shoot something that could have been avoided. To troubleshoot rampage I would recommend removing every mod except the dependencies of Rampage (Script Hook). Your reshade shouldn't be messing with it but it's always something that needs to be tested if the problem persists with no other mods installed. After you have ruled out conflicts from other mods as the issue The next thing to check is that you installed the mod correctly. This includes making sure that you downloaded the correct version and installed it as the directions state. There are multiple different ways to install rampage. The easiest way is to already have Vortex installed and have RDR2 be managed by Vortex. Then when you download rampage make sure you download the "Rampage NUI" file and click the mod manager download button. This should open Vortex and it should begin downloading. after the download is complete all you need to do is install, deploy then launch the game and test. The other way to install Rampage with Vortex is what I show in the video and the file "Rampage" is the one that should be used for this install method. If none of those work then try to manually install the mod the way the read me text file directions say to. If that doesn't work then delete all rampage files and download again and install. Sometimes your download can become corrupted, however it is very rare. If it still doesn't work after that then you're just installing it wrong and need to follow the directions more closely. Or if you haven't moved your game folder out of the Program Files (x86) folder that can also be an issue. I have a tutorial on how to move your Steam library:

      @ModApocalypse  6 місяців тому +1

      Good question! So easiest answer would be to read the instructions on the mod page, but there's other ways to figure it out. So if the mod files have the proper sub folder structure in the LML folder that is being added then you can add it through Vortex. This would mean (RDR2 Game Folder)\lml\downloader\(Mod name) fpr the folder format. However if this folder structure does not exist in the mod files then it is likely you need to add them with LML to be added correctly. Each mod is different so it's always best to read what the author says.

Start with testing 1 mod at a time and make sure they all work before adding them all together. Then add 1 at a time until either they all work or you find out which one breaks the other one. Then you have to decide what mods you want to keep. Most mod pages will tell you what type of mods are compatible/incomparable.
