📋 About This Mod
DESCRIPTION
In this mod, I will exclusively work on draft horse breeds. If anything is wrong let me know. I can make personalized horses if anyone wants to make a request, those will go to Miscellaneous but it might take a while. I can change the model of the horses, their height and shape, as well as create new coat patterns and textures.
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 usually change the Tiger Striped Bay Mustang 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.(Link to full list with Pedestrian Database to change any horse down below the Installation instructions)
DON'T RENAME THE . YTD FILES, ONLY . YMT.
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.
