directly to this mod so just click here download this file okay and then you've got main files so let's get the latest version click download okay and then 5 4 3 2 one we should be able to download it okay it's downloading right here okay and let's download something else also this is just a mod manager so let's download something we can test it out on so here are some example mods I'm going to download this one examples for Lenny's mod manager 1.0.0 the main thing we can check for this one is here it replaces the default A2 font all right so this is something we can like install and you know we'll we can know if the mod is working or not so also here download this file I'm going to download this example mod so let's wait for it okay it's downloading okay one more file we need is this um the ASI loader yeah we need to load the ASI that's like loading the mod yeah we also need this A2 ASI loader 0.2.2 might be a different version version when you're downloading this it might get updated so I'm just going to download the latest version right now to download okay just wait for it to download so I've downloaded three files the Lenny's mod loader then I've downloaded a example mod and then ASI loader so three zip files okay so go to My Dolphin my file manager okay I've got the three files right here let me just move it let me just move it to this folder rd2 mods just for easier you can just keep it in your downloads folder if you want but for the tutorial I'll just put it into a new folder just to make it easier okay so now you also need to locate your game folder so if you've got this game on Steam it should be in your home directory and then make sure you click the three lines here show hidden files make sure this is checked we're going into a hidden fold folder do steam okay and then steam steam apps and then common and you should see Red Dead Redemption 2 this is the folder the game folder all right rdr2.exe is right here so this is the root of our game folder right so the first thing I'm going to do is open up the Lenny's mod loader zip this is the mod files for Lenny's mod loader okay and then inside okay you need to extract mod loader all the contents inside mod loader to the root of your game okay so here's my game the root of my game Red Dead Redemption 2 I'm just going to extract these files to the root okay you can see LML there's a folder called LML and then some D files okay so that's done okay and then you've got a mod manager okay so you can you can put this mod manager wherever you want okay I'm just going to put into rdr2 Mods the folder that I created where I put my mod so I've got a folder now called mod manager I extracted mod manager over okay now what you got to do is for this mod manager we're going to add a non- steam game so open up your steam open up your steam click here add a game add a non steam game and then click browse okay it's in my downloads and then I've got a folder called rdl2 mods which I created myself and then here's the extracted mod manager click into it and then there's a mod manager. ui.exe this is the exe file we want double click it add selected programs and then on the left hand side you should see it here po populate here mod manager.exe Okay click the gear icon properties go into compatibility and then here Force the use of a specific steam play compatibility tool I'm going to use um proton experimental okay and click play see if we can open up the game or not a game well just mod manager it's a program okay so this is Lenny's mod loader okay you can select your theme all right I'm just going to select blue dark okay so game folder we need to locate our game folder so click the three dots here and then I'm going to click the slash then home deck so just look at your game folder again where was it it was in the do steam so you have to if you can't locate your do steam here can I type it no you can't oh you can actually just type it here okay so since we can't locate our hidden folders here I think a good idea would be just to copy the location so we've got the the path here right so just copy this path and just paste it here paste done and then click save all right so that's done and then now let's try to install that example mod or here LML example mod okay let's um good way to do it okay let's extract it here right click it extract and then

going to go to aud2 mods and here's the mod file the example mod mods this is the directory I'm just going to click open and you can see here it installed LML example mods installed okay and then we
