I know there’s a lot of Swade system for deadlands but I feel that don’t work for me so what’s your go to Weird West system ?
I also bounced off of the Reloaded version (and SW in general). Unfortunately, I can’t really speak to the alternatives from personal experience.
However, I’ve been gearing up to try Call of Cthulhu, and found out it has a Western setting! Down Darker Trails. I had never heard about it, but what I could find was really positive. If and when I run a weird west game, that would probably be my first choice, and certainly a top contender.
I have no experience with this specific setting, but I’ve played SW quite a bit. I think it would be pretty straightforward to adapt it to FATE, and with a little extra effort but a better result to Cortex Prime.
I haven’t tried it out yet, but the cypher system seems like a good fit.
The Cypher system people did put out a weird west book, sounds like a decent fit. Though honestly I think most any generic system would work pretty ok.
