📋 About This Mod
This mod gives new eyes for all the horses in the game. I thought the original horse eyes the game came with looked terrible, so I decided, as my first mod, to repaint and replace them with deeper, more realistic eyes. Like I said, this is my very first mod, so let me know if something doesn\'t work right. Version 2. 0 adds REAL eye shines. To install: extract all the files into your Oblivion\\Data folder. If you had Version 1. 0, make sure to uncheck the esp file. Version 2. 0 has been released, check the Author\'s note and the txt file for important information.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 892 endorsements and over 37k downloads, so it's a proven favorite.
- Gives horses a more natural look, fixing the 'terrible' original eyes.
- Lightweight texture mod that won't impact performance.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2008, so it may not be compatible with newer Oblivion versions or mod setups.
- Only changes eyes—if you want a full horse overhaul, this won't cover other aspects.
- No screenshots or detailed install instructions provided, so you're flying blind until you test it.
For Oblivion players who love immersion and can't stand the vanilla horse eyes. If you're a modding newbie, this is a perfect first mod to learn the ropes. Skip if you want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Oblivion Data folder and enable the mod in the launcher.
- If you use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, install it through that for easier uninstallation.
- Check if you have other horse texture mods installed—they might conflict, so load order matters.
