Modder ‘Tahitian Mango’ has released a new mod that brings next-gen fur to all animals in Red Dead Redemption 2. This mod will significantly enhance all the animals that have fur. However, it’s meant mostly for those who own high-end GPUs.
Going into more details, this mod improves the fur on all fur-bearing animals and puts an end to the jitter. It also restores the fluffy donkey.
To achieve this next-gen fur, the modder has increased the fur’s level of detail with more strands and more height layers. The main version has 3X strands and X10 height layers. On the other hand, the lite version 2X strands and X5 height layers.
Now the reason I say this mod is mostly for those with high-end GPUs is because it comes with a big performance hit. The mod will lower your performance by 10-15FPS. However, during bear attacks, the performance hit may be even higher than that.
As said, there is also a lite version that you can try. Its image quality, though, is not up to what the main version achieves. The good news here is that the lite version looks better than the vanilla fur. However, the main version – which looks arguably better – requires a high-end graphics card.
You can go ahead and download the mod from this link. At the end of the article, you can also find a video and some screenshots that showcase this next-gen fur effect. I’ve also included a before/after comparison shot below.
Speaking of RDR2, here are some other cool mods for it. First up is a mod that introduces a very cool New Game+ Mode. Another mod revamps the interior lighting of buildings. And don’t miss out on the Visual Redemption Project. There’s also this mod that adds random world events. For some extra fun, there’s a gameplay mod that allows the player to use NPC-exclusive scenarios. You can also download this mod that adds fully functional cars to the game. Last but not least, there’s a mod that brings support for DLSS Ultra Quality & DLAA to the game, and another mod that allows you to explore Nuevo Paraiso.
To improve the game’s graphics, you can use the following mods and HD texture packs. For example, this pack will upscale the textures of various objects like badges, boats, gravestones, food, and more. Then we have an HD Texture Pack for terrain, HD textures for ground and rocks, and an HD Texture Pack for vegetation.
