Animated Mounted Casting - Cast Spells On Horseback And Dismiss Horse (AE SE LE)

DESCRIPTION

This mod solves two issues with riding horses in Skyrim. One is the inability to cast spells while on horseback. The other is the inability to dismiss your horse so that it won't fast travel with you. Animated Mounted Casting allows you to cast spells on horseback and prevents your horse from fast travelling with you. It is a standalone version of the mounted casting from Zartar's Character Behaviors Enhanced mod. It only contains the minimum files and edits required for mounted casting to work and has none of the larger issues that Character Behaviors Enhanced has. To dismiss your horse without the use of SKSE64, you either have to hop on a free randomly spawned horse or hop on a summoned horse. This mod adds a summon horse spell (Spell Tome: Conjure Horse Familiar) for purchase at Belethor's General Goods. The spell is designed to be fair and balanced and can be cast by low level characters. The summoned horse is also designed as an alternative to summoning atronachs to help in fights. This mod does not contain any scripts and does not require any additional mod or program to work. If you are not using FNIS, Pandora, or Nemesis, it will work on its own right out of the box. It is esl flagged and can be added or removed at any time. FNIS, Pandora, and Nemesis users should carefully read the INSTALLATION AND USAGE section to avoid issues and save themselves some frustration. If the mod doesn't work or you get T-poses after running Nemesis or Pandora, it's either a compatibility issue or an overlooked step. Read the NOTES section to help resolve issues. Casting spells on horseback while the horse is swimming can be done by using Animated Mounted Casting with Non-Horse Mount Animation Fix or other mods. Shouting on horseback can be done by using Animated Mounted Casting with Mid Air Shouts - Shout while falling. Animated Mounted Casting will work for Skyrim AE/SE. Animated Mounted Casting for Skyrim LE is available in the Optional files section. Skyrim VR users should use Steeds of Ultima - VR Mounted combat.
