Armadillo Restoration Community Project
Armadillo Restoration Community Project aims to deliver new map enhancements to Armadillo in Red Dead Redemption 2 once all knew where it all began in the original game. This project features lots of changes to attempt to make the town feel more like the original town in 2010’s predecessor, these include removing all the bonfire pits and cholera posters, in addition to making new updates to the law system, adding new lighting and much more. Everyone has worked very hard to deliver on this mod, a lot of sweat and late nights went through making this. With the lack of tools available right now almost everything was done manually for weeks. It should be noted that this mod is no Map Editor or Rampage project, this modification utilizes the proper RAGE formats thanks to Lenny’s Mod Loader. Let’s dig into the features set out below – please send any feedback and bug reports, thanks for checking the mod out!

Installing this modification is fairly straightforward. I’ve dedicated a lot of time making one single file to install rather than messing around with a bunch of files to install at a time. You’ll need to use Lenny’s Mod Loader Beta 8 in order to use the mod,. Once this mod has been downloaded take Armadillo Restoration Community Project folder to the LML folder which can found inside the core Red Dead Redemption 2 game directory – please also have ScriptHookRDR2 installed, this is required to make a script disable the cholera dynamic events.
