📋 About This Mod
Have you ever noticed when you get not so far away from horses their eyes disappear completely? If you have, this is the mod for you!
What does this mod do, exactly?
The mod stops the eyes on horses from disappearing when at a distance. It accomplishes this by simply adding the eye models back onto the low LOD for the horse, and should not affect your game's performance whatsoever!
Does this mod conflict with other mods?
It will only conflict with mods that edit p_c_horse_01_merge_6.ydd, which is extremely rarely (if ever) edited by other mods. I have included a patch for my Geldings mod in the Optional Files section.
Will this mod cause any bugs?
It absolutely should not. All I did was edit the low LOD for the horse eye model, so this mod should not be buggy in any way whatsoever. Let me know if you manage to find one though!
How do I install this mod?
Installing the mod is as simple as ever, just extract and drop the "p_c_horse_01_merge_6.ydd" file into your "stream" folder.
A small fix mod that dramatically increases the draw distance of horse eyes in Skyrim, addressing a vanilla issue where horses appear without eyes at certain distances. With 120 endorsements and 11,719 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated fix for visual immersion.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fixes a real visual bug that breaks immersion when you spot a horse from afar.
- Tiny mod, low risk of conflicts—just a simple tweak.
- Community-approved with 120 endorsements and over 11k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects horse eyes—if you were hoping for broader visual fixes, this won't help.

For Skyrim players who notice the eye-less horse bug and want a quick, lightweight fix. If you're a completionist who hates visual glitches, this is for you. Skip if you don't care about horse eyes or if you use heavy horse overhauls that might conflict.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—it's a simple file drop.
- Place this mod early in your load order to ensure it doesn't get overwritten by other mods.
- Check in-game at a distance to confirm the fix works; if horses still look weird, you may have a conflicting mod.
