A Horse With Saddlebags

Description

This mod implements simple, vanilla-friendly saddlebags and horse follow/wait commands. It a partial port of the Oldblivion mod Simple Horse Utilities. This mod is intended as a companion mod for A Horse With No Name.

All vanilla horses and horses from the Deluxe edition now have an saddlebags. To access a horse’s saddlebags, activate the horse whilst sneaking.

Saddlebags have a limited capacity depending on your horse's Strength attribute. To access saddlebags, you must own the horse and it must be your last ridden horse. These checks prevent you from accessing the saddlebag inventory of a horse you’ve stolen or otherwise don't own.

The saddlebag inventory is shared between horses, so you don't need to retrieve your items if your horse dies; all items will appear in your new horse's saddlebags.

Horse Whistle

If you have ridden a horse, you will be granted a Horse Whistle power. Using the power when your horse is nearby will swap it between wait and follow modes. If your horse is further away, it will teleport to you and start following you. All changes in follow/wait state are complete with sound effects.

Installation

Standard installation procedure: add the file to your data folder and plugins.txt.

Magic loader is required to inject the additional messages and names in the game.

Add the optional plugin after the main plugin for the Deluxe edition horses to be supported by the Horse Whistle power.

If you would like the saddlebags to have unlimited capacity, simply open the console in-game and type:

set ahwsUnlimitedStorage to 1

Set the variable back to 0 for saddlebags to have limited capacity again.

Uninstallation

Just uncheck the mod. Uninstalling this mod will have no permanent effects on your save game, but just make sure to remove all items from the saddlebags first.

Compatibility

This mod will conflict with any mods which alter the horses scripts.
