About this mod

Improves loot pool of enemy gang NPCs, wild animals, and herbs. Also rebalances weapon kill cleanliness to match modified animal loot yields.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
I decided to tweak loot pools to my own taste for quality of life. Inspired by Realistic Hunting Rebalance, which I do highly recommend you take a look at as well. A list of other mods which I recommend and use myself can be found here.

I plan to further tweak loot pools as of right now. All changes are documented in the README.MD, and I uploaded a copy of it to an article on this page.


INSTALLATION:

1. Download and install Lenny's Mod Loader (LML). No, you don't need Lenny's Simple Trainer (LST) or ASILoader for this.
3. Download the zip archive from the Files tab here on this mod's page.
4. Open the archive. I prefer 7-Zip because, well, open source and what not.
5. Extract the "ImprovedLoot" folder to the "lml" folder inside your main RDR2 installation directory.


DIY LOOT MODDING:

1. Open any of the files included in the mod archive with any text editor.
2. Edit anything to your liking. I've made comments in the code where applicable. For example:

<Item key="HERB_LOOT_ALASKAN_GINSENG" name="Alaskan Ginseng">
    <Type>AggregateDrop</Type>
    <Entries>
        <Item>
            <!-- Collectible ID. -->
            <Name>CONSUMABLE_HERB_GINSENG</Name>
            <!-- Drop rate. -->
            <Rate value="1.0"/>
            <!-- Item Type -->
            <Type>Collectible</Type>
        </Item>
        <!-- Herb loot drop items must be copy-pasted. -->
        <Item>
            <Name>CONSUMABLE_HERB_GINSENG</Name>
            <Rate value="1.0"/>
            <Type>Collectible</Type>
            <!-- Add one Ginseng to drop per plant picked only if user owns Ram Horn Trinket. -->
            <RewardCondition ref="NEEDS_RAM_HORN_TRINKET" />
        </Item>
    </Entries>
</Item>
