Hold onto your Stetsons, cowpokes! Arthur Morgan's wardrobe just got a much-needed intervention thanks to the Catalogue Improvements mod. Released in late August 2025, this community-made gem tackles fashion crimes that'd make even a hardened outlaw blush. Picture this: Arthur strutting through Saint Denis in a dapper suit, only for his bandolier to clip through his chest like some cursed accessory from the Twilight Zone. Yeehaw? More like yee-NOPE. This mod sweeps in like a sartorial superhero, ironing out glitches that made outfits merge with character models in ways that defied physics and good taste. Honestly, it’s about time – after six years, those digital threads deserved better than looking like they'd been chewed by a grizzly. 🐻💥
Tailoring the Wild West Experience
Modders iAbokai and Suika didn’t just fix clipping nightmares; they unleashed a haberdashery revolution. New bow ties? Check. Snazzy working gloves in colors that'd make a rainbow jealous? You bet. But the real showstopper? That dang lantern finally gets its moment! No more awkwardly floating near your belt like a confused firefly. It clips right where it should, casting moody shadows across the prairie while you hunt O'Driscolls. And let’s talk about John Marston – poor guy’s been rocking the same dusty threads since 1899. The mod resurrects his Elegant Suit, a snazzy number cut from the original game that lets him attend fancy parties without looking like he wrestled a cactus.
Horses Get Glam Too!
Hold your horses – literally! The mod doesn’t stop at humans. Your trusty steed now trots in style with custom horseshoes and an extra weapon holster. Because nothing says "deadly elegance" like a Marengo Arabian accessorized for maximum mayhem. My personal favorite touch? Bandoliers that actually sit properly on torsos instead of dangling like overcooked spaghetti. It’s the little things, folks!
Why This Matters in 2025
With Red Dead Redemption 2 hitting 77 million copies sold, Rockstar’s silence feels louder than a shotgun in a church. 🎯 But while official updates might be drier than New Austin in July, mods like this prove the community ain’t ready to ride into the sunset. Installing requires Lenny’s Mod Loader and ScriptHookRDR2 – a small price for transforming your cowboy RPG into a fashion simulator with guns. The mod description teases "surprise" tweaks too, like Easter eggs waiting to be discovered. Part of me wonders if Arthur’s horse now judges mismatched outfits...
FAQ: Y'all Got Questions?
Q: Does this affect gameplay stats?
A: Nope! Your Dead Eye boost from fancy outfits stays intact. This is purely about looking fly while shooting fly.
Q: Can I finally wear a top hat with panther-skin chaps?
A: Mod doesn’t add new combos, but it sure makes existing ones less glitchy. Still, that ensemble? Bold choice, partner.
Q: Will Rockstar sue my virtual wardrobe?
A: Highly doubtful. They’re probably too busy counting those 77 million sales receipts.
Q: Does John’s Elegant Suit come with pocket square instructions?
A: Sadly, no. But watching him try to fold one would be worth the download alone.
At the end of the dusty trail, this mod’s magic lies in details – those subtle stitches that turn a great game into an unforgettable one. So saddle up, fashion outlaws! The frontier’s never looked this sharp. ✨
