One way to solve this issue is by making a merge, but since there’s dozens of mods using that exact same file, you’ll have to make the merge yourself.

If you know your way around this file, then you might be happy to know that I left “<!--CHANGED-->“ notes right next to the edited lines, so you can easily copy paste them over to the equivalent lines in the other “metapeds.ymt” file.
——— ⬇ ⬇ For the less experienced users ⬇ ⬇ ———
First, let’s locate the conflicting file, In the case of “Ambient Gang”, the file is located in lml —> Ambient Gang - RDR1 Gang Addon.
Once located, open “metapeds.ymt” with any text editing program of your choice, I personally use “Notepad++”, since it’s quick and offers a lot of features.
Now press “Ctrl + F” (or “Ctrl + B” in some cases) to open up the “Find…” window and then search for “facial_clipset_group_john” (if that name doesn’t exist, try “0x24EACA9E” instead).
⬇ ⬇
Find and replace all “facial_clipset_group_john” (or “0x24EACA9E”) with “facial_clipset_group_john_front”, this should make John look forwards while aiming.
⬇ ⬇
After that, go back to the “Find…” window and look for “player_three” (or “0x00B69710”), then scroll down until you find “<WeaponAnimationsGroup/>“ (or “<UNK_MEMBER_0x44F4F2CA/>”).
⬇ ⬇
Now replace “<WeaponAnimationsGroup/>“ (or “<UNK_MEMBER_0x44F4F2CA/>”) with “<WeaponAnimationsGroup>PLAYER_THREE</WeaponAnimationsGroup>“ aaand you should be done!
Now all there is to do is delete this mod’s “metapeds.ymt” file, which is located in lml —> Animation Fixes —> Extended_Player_Animations —> Aiming_Animations and you can enjoy the game with John’s beta aiming animations!
Can’t get John’s beta aiming animations to work? Then there’s a chance you have a conflicting mod using a “metapeds.ymt” file.
