Realistic Cowboy Horses

UPDATE 1. 4: Canadian Horse Pack (in Optional files section) replaces Turkoman. Stats are the same, but names, coats and models are custom-made. These are very versatile and beautiful working horses that fit better in a Western than Turkomans, in my opinion.

UPDATE 1. 3: Rocky Mountain Horse Pack (in Optional files section) replaces Missouri Fox Trotter. I didn't add new stats because the MFT is pretty op already, but made custom models, coats and names. I hope you all enjoy them, I love this breed and always wanted R* to make them.

UPDATE 1. 2: Florida Cracker Horse Pack 1 (in Optional files section) gives you an alternative to the Tennessee Walker. This breed is rare nowadays but it was a wonderful gaited cowboy horse breed back in the day. I gave them better stats but created them as an optional alternative for mobs that you can also use and keep if you want because they don't suck ass, like the common breeds and coats in vanilla. Coats, patterns, models, stats, descriptions and names are custom made.

UPDATE 1. 2: American Quarter Horse Pack 1 (in Optional files section) brings a selection of my American Quarter Horses into your game. I won't specify which ones, as I'd rather have you investigate and find them. You can look for them in the wild or stables substituting some breeds I don't really like in the Wild West, like Ardennes, Dutch Warmblood and Hungarian Halfbred. I tried to change all names to American Quarter Horse + all coats, but let me know if anything slipped. You can study them just like any other horse breed, even though they will be in separate sections of the Compendium take them as exactly the same breed, with the same stats. You can also find Buell with his beautiful coat in a new model with new stats :)

In this mod I will exclusively work on realistic horse coats and models, specifically those you could find in the Wild West, so nothing crazy. I want it to be lore-friendly. If anything is wrong let me know. I can make personalized horses if anyone wants to make a request; join my Discord for it.

Every horse I make has a real-life reference behind it, preferably from registered horses in their breed association or from various breeders adjusting to standard. I'm quite nitpicky because I play doing roleplay. I was planning to stick to American breeds, but I'm going to add some stock horses from other places (it should be in the Exotic Horses mod but oh well...).

HOW DOES IT WORK?

My mods work as skins for the already existing horses in your game, so they will spawn as normal horses do. I pick one horse to change by default, but you can change it to whatever horse you want by changing the name of the .ymt files. For example, by default you get a_c_horse_mustang_tigerstripedbay.ymt, but you want your modded horse to appear in the white arabian instead of the tiger striped bay mustang; then you have to name it a_c_horse_arabian_white.ymt. (Full list with Pedestrian Database to change any horse in Miscellaneous)

DON'T RENAME THE . YTD FILES, ONLY . YMT.

Some of my packs also change the horse's names and stats, so not everything acts strictly as a visual skin, but it will also change their stamina, health, etc.

Yes, you can mod your entire game and change every single vanilla horse for a modded horse from this or my other mods, it won't impact your performance and there's no limit to it, my entire horse population is changed and it's okay, have a blast and explore new breeds and coats, your NPCs will be happier too.
