📋 About This Mod

BRIEFING:

  • []Some mechanics on horseback that Bethesda never constructed into the Vanilla Horse Behavior Graph

    []This mod is a direct, cure the root-cause approach rather then a treat the symptoms workaround

    []Also remedies some micro-exploits in horse jumping behavior construct but so fine, they would go unnoticed in-game

         

REQUIREMENTS

  • []Nemesis Unlimited Behavior Engine "OR" Pandora Behavior Engine Plus

    []Know how to use it correctly

    INSTALLATION

    • []Safe to Install any time. No Plugin

      []Install with your Mod Manager (please don't ask for help if not using one)

      []Turn on mod in manager and launch Nemesis or Pandora

      []Activate the mod within the Engine

      []Run Engine (may need to update the Nemesis Engine prior)

      []Make sure engine generated output is triumphant conflict winner

      UPDATING THE FOOLPROOF WAY

      • []Download mod update package

        []Install with your Mod Manager. Replace prev. build entirely and enable

        []Delete the last engine run generated Meshes and Scripts output folders

        []Delete step above could be subjective per user depending if current output has any special files. Preserve those if required

        If you just use Nemesis or Pandora the general way making usual batch runs, I would not concern over the yellow check step

        Would be a wise to make a Manager rule forcing Engine to generate its output in its own dedicated "Engine Output" mod[]Run Engine creating new generated output

        []Make sure engine generated output is triumphant conflict winner

        UNINSTALLATION

        • []Safe to uninstall any time. No Plugin

          []Remove the Mod

          []Delete the last Engine run generated Meshes and Scripts output folders

          []Re-run Engine without the mod installed

          COMPATIBILITY NOTES

          COMPATIBLE - YES

          []Should work with everything unless a third-party mod directly modifies file:
