Alligator • Bear • Beaver • Boar • Cougar • Rattlesnake • Panther

Matching Trapper blanket textures are also supported where applicable.

Note: If you use CI, you can also apply a tint change to the horse scabbard. Simply set CIScabbard=1 in 'Sauvy Horse Tack Tint.ini'

Tested with WhyEm and CI.

  • Potential conflicts with other retexture mods that touch the same items.
