About this mod

A Chapter 4 Save (Minimum Completion) where the only Main Mission Marker in the map is "American Fathers I (Option 1) or "Urban Pleasures" (Option 2).

Permissions and credits
Option 1: Chapter 4 Stopping Point is American Fathers IOption 2: Chapter 4 Stopping Point is Urban Pleasures 

This is a modified save from Marston Free Roam Deluxe (Chapter 4 Start file ~ credits to UlfricsRevenge) changed via RDR2 Save Editor and played a bit to have a hard-stopping point in Shady Belle with most of the gang members in camp and the only Main Mission Marker left is American Fathers I (Option 1) or Urban Pleasures (Option 2) so it is easily ignorable and you can just free-roam and do challenges, bounties, collections, hunting, treasure hunting and stranger missions all over the map. Check out the description of Marston Free Roam Deluxe to see what little has been done to the Save as that's the main source, said mod author allows re-uploading changes to their save so thank you to them.


TL;DR: This Save is for those who wants the camp to be in Shady Belle and end the Story Progression there (just ignore the Main Mission Blip, it's very hard to trigger it as you need to step very close to them, if you are bounty hunting you can still go to the Police Station!). I read a lot of discussions that the best mission to stop in Chapter 4 is just before "American's Father II" but I think it's better to stop in "American's Father I" or "Urban Pleasures". You can free-roam as much as you want as Healthy Arthur and treat this as an Alternate Story post Blackwater (Journal is Reset).


I love the idea of Shady Belle as a camp, it's quite big and they have a house for shelter when weather gets too drastic.
Add map mods such as Shady Belle Extended Camp Upgrades  to improve the ambiance. For infinite replay potential, add script mods of your liking: Bandit HideoutsBounty HuntingAMJM TransportsMary Linton Joins The Gang (don't be fooled by the name as you can have Sadie too as your companion!), RDRFR and too many more to mention (download here in nexus and rdr-mods!).

Not Required but I recommend to use this save with Arthur's Redemption Script (only use the ASI, not the save file from that mod!), with this script applied you won't see some of the gang members like Dutch and Micah but the trade-off is there'll be rare minor bugs or glitch in the camp like invisible floating beers and camp conversations with invisible characters. If you can get past that, it is a nice feature to have the camp with positive vibe members only and just a warning if you use that script do not attempt to progress the story as I don't know the impact of it since that script was for chapter 6 usage.
