📋 About This Mod
Choose your own Herring! Many different coats, each one with customizable mane and tail(style and colour) and available in every body morph^^
Some new looks for Herring. As per request; this mod is the Herring version of my Pebbles Compendium
Credits to Invisai and their guide on how to edit horses here.
Their guide allowed me to pack up this mod neatly and in a way as to not
conflict with any other mods that edit the CharacterComponent.xml and
the appearance_horse.xml files. As such this mod will be compatible with
any mod that does not directly effect Herring.
Installation:
- Download your file of choice
- Extract and place the file somewhere accessible
- Pick your own Herring!
Each file includes a 'choose your own adventure' style format where you can customize your Herring, no editing of .xmls or repacking needed, just drag and drop.
- First pick your mane and tail colour
- Pick your mane and tail style combo
- Choose your preferred body morph (feathering around the hooves included as options where applicable)
- Finally drop the folder in your "Mods" folder found here:
"\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\KingdomComeDeliverance2\Mods"
- If the 'Mods' folder does not exist simply create a new folder and rename to 'Mods'
If done correctly the path should look like this example:
"\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\KingdomComeDeliverance2\Mods\blackbeauty_herring"
If you want to add the mod using a mod manager:
Go through the process as explained above but instead of just dragging and dropping the "blackbeauty_herring" folder in your "Mods" folder, instead take that same folder and zip it with a program like WinRAR or just using Windows' "Compress"
You can then use that "blackbeauty_herring.rar" when adding the mod through a manager.
I am open to requests but please bear in mind that only certain
combinations are actually possible as I am merely
swapping around lines in the xml files and not doing any editing to
materials/meshes/textures etc.
That said I will likely be able to make Herring look like any existing horse as well as change around
the actual build of the horse.
