📋 About This Mod
Using WillOhTheWisp's Witcher 3 Horses and Elrian's Craftable Saddles, and doing a recolour of Kiai's eyes, fur and saddle, I was really pleased with how the horse turned out and wanted to share with you all. With Elrian Saddles you can also switch out the saddle that Kiai is using too.
REQUIREMENTS AND CREDITS:
Kaidan 2 by LivTempleton
Witcher 3 Horses by WillOhTheWisp
Craftable Saddles from Witcher 3 by Elrian
This mod gives Kaidan 2's horse Kiai a new look using 4K textures from WillOhTheWisp's Witcher 3 Horses and Elrian's Craftable Saddles, with recolored eyes, fur, and saddle. It also allows swapping Kiai's saddle via Elrian's craftable saddles. Requires Kaidan 2, Witcher 3 Horses, and Craftable Saddles.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Gives Kaidan's horse a fresh, high-res makeover (4K textures) that fits the Witcher aesthetic.
- Integrates with Elrian's Craftable Saddles, so you can customize Kiai's gear beyond the default.
- Community-tested with 189 endorsements and 7,396 downloads, so it's proven popular among Kaidan fans.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires three separate mods (Kaidan 2, Witcher 3 Horses, Craftable Saddles) to work, so setup is more involved.
- Only affects Kiai's appearance and saddle—no new gameplay or horse stats.
- Compatibility risk: if you use other horse replacers or mods that alter Kiai, conflicts may occur.
For Skyrim players who love Kaidan 2 and want his horse to look more like a Witcher steed. If you're into visual overhauls for followers and don't mind installing a few dependencies, this is a nice touch. Skip if you want gameplay changes or don't use Kaidan 2.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install the required mods first, then this replacer, and let your mod manager overwrite files as needed.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle load order—place this mod after the requirements.
- If you want to change Kiai's saddle, craft it via Elrian's Craftable Saddles and equip it on Kiai.
