I have just found a fix for the mod not working for me personally, check that you have no other mods changing (loot_items_matrix.meta). This conflicted with Kiddo's loot overhaul mod and stopped this mod from working. I just overwrote the (loot_items_matrix.meta) from Perfect Pefect Pelts into Kidddo's mod and now all works flawlessly! Hope this help anyone else.
Might be worth noting as a potential compatability issue.
Would love to see one that just requires a headshot with any weapon to get perfect. For the sake of immersion, it makes complete sense if you are only talking about a pelt. Nothing drives me quite so batty quite like shooting a fox in the head with a varmint rifle to watch it run off. So in a perfect/realistic world, I could shoot a fox in the head with a large caliber and get perfect, but a body shot would make it poor for instance. This seems to be the best middle ground because I hate the way Rockstar ignored ballistics and reality to such a degree it makes me feel embarrassed for them....
It was pointed out to me that people in the community have been discussing a problem happening for people playing with modded texture files or steaming files such ytd files from mods that change clothes, or terrain... etc. The problem described is surprisingly the exact same problem people here reported to be caused by this mod, and I was never able to replicate it. Basically animal spawns breaking and getting reduced or no longer spawning at all.
There is a strong chance people who experienced this bug were using texture mods but they noticed the problem when they went out to test hunting after they installed my mod and ofc made the association with Perfect Spawns instead, which I mean makes sense honestly. This would explain the inconsistent reports of some people never experiencing the bug, while others experiencing it with any variant of the mod.
If anyone reads this, and you are experiencing the issue, try to temporarily un-install any files that use the stream folder, and see if the problem is fixed for you or not when using my mod, and report back your results so we'll know.
Note: I only learned of this thanks to user khorvair who explained this whole thing and pointed me in the direction of people talking about it.
Im wanting a mod that makes all animals spawn as three stars, or no one star spawns. Im sick of spending far too much time trying to study every animal (because _ _ _) or just getting too much damn 'poor' animals.
**Theory** I took a quick look at the ambientpedmodelsets.meta, i see why the Perthect spawns was breaking the spawns,, as usual this game is coded to work one way and will probably break if you change it or change has big limits. * It seems the game has different chances to spawn the qualities of pelt by place, time, weather,, ? * this mod sets 1* & 2* to 0.0 chance, and 3* to 1.0 chance, So when the game decides it should spawn 1 of 1*, 3 of 2*, 0 of 3* in a deer herd, then none will spawn. ?
Interesting. I wish there was a solution because it is, by far, the better version of this mod. That's the one I wanted to download, but now I have to pass.
Try the mod for yourself you might not have problems, the most likely cause of spawns breaking for some people is due to a previously unknown bug that happens when you stream assets (ymt files) through Lenny's Mod Loader, it very very likely never had anything to do with my mod whatsoever.
Meu caro autor, dono deste mod incrível, peço gentilmente que conserte este mod porque algumas espécies não aparecem, como os seguintes felinos / panteras / sussuaranas / alces / param de aparecer!
o mod funciona perfeitamente galera vc mata aparece que ta 1 ou 2 estrelas só mas quando pega ou esfola o animal fica perfeito a pele muito bom me ajudou muito
Perfect damage works fine. If you can one shoot/kill animal. 2nd bullet already damages quality. So shoot once, if it doesnt go down, track it, knife kill it.
PLEASE NOTE: There are several required files that are NOT mentioned in the instructions of this mod, so if this is your only Red Dead mod, like me, you likely don't have these files. xbeta90's video that he mentioned in the comments really helped me out (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttNur7a1qmA), but you'll need Alexander Blade's Scripthook (excluding the Native Trainer.asi file in that zip), and RDR 2 Asi Loader by LMS on Rdr2mods, along with Lenny's Mod Loader that is mentioned in the instructions.
After I followed the 5 minute videos instruction it worked PERFECTLY. I shot a elk up until it's pelt was poor, skinned it, and right away it showed Perfect Pelt, I did not have to look in my bag to see it. Note: I'm using the main file only, not the alternative files for this mod. Good luck out there!
I have all of those installed, but when I use perfect damage it still doesn't produce perfect pelts? I'm assuming the scripthook and lml works as most other mods work. The ASI loader I have extracted but I don't hear any beeping noise to confirm. Any advice?
I only installed the perfect pelts file, first I didnt understand bc it showed 1 and 2 star animals but the mod works, if you skin the animal you get the perfect pelt, if you killed them properly tho.
