📋 About This Mod

I absolutely love Vicn's mod Animated Carriage, but I use the Witcher Horse Expansion which repaths the vanilla horse textures to its own. This causes bugged horse textures for the carriage horses, which use vanilla-style bodies. This small patch simply redirects the carriage horse textures to the vanilla ones.

To improve the look of the horses, you can download a vanilla texture upgrade such as HD Reworked Horses or Realistic Horse Breeds by KrittaKitty.

If you are having an issue with the Animated Carriage mod, please refer to their modpage for troubleshooting. This patch only affects the horse texture filepaths, it does not touch any of the mechanics of the mod.

Incompatible mods for this method: Steeds of Skyrim (they edit the vanilla textures to fit their horses)

WillOhtheWisp has a patch hub for various horse mods here: Animated Carriage - Horse Replacer Patches

Many thanks to Vicn for the wonderful Animated Carriage mod, it truly brings traveling the roads to life!!

Also thanks to WillOhTheWisp for the Witcher Horse Expansion which was the reason I needed this mod.
