📋 About This Mod
~~~Overview~~~
KrittaKitty's wonderful horse retextures fully ported and updated for "AE", with all options available (and more). If you are unfamiliar with the original mod here is a brief overview of the base features: This is a lore friendly 2K retexture of all seven of Skyrim's horses. Each horse depicts a different horse breed, complete with unique eye colors, manes, and coat colors. They are as follows, by location:
Solitude - Fjord horse
Whiterun - Black fell pony
Riften - Grey fell pony
Markarth - Haflinger horse
Windhelm - Exmoor pony
Frost now has his own unique coloration, with two options to choose from, pure white or mealy chestnut. Shadowmere too has their own texture, with a blacker than night coat. The final two options are: darker eyes for the black fell pony, and a less veiny normal map.
In addition to the base port features listed above, there are a few additions and improvements as well. Firstly the esp is esl flagged, and utilizes texture sets rather that individual meshes for each horse. The horse meshes are compatible with AE or VR.
Please note: if you have ever updated your game past 1. 5. 97, even if you downgraded, you will still need "AE" horses.
There are also fluffworks compatible meshes available as well, including an alternative version with a less draft horse shape. The fluffworks patched horses also come with fitted saddles and harnesses as well.
An addon is available that distributes these new horse skins to the CC Wild horses mod. Compatible with both the vanilla and the fluffworks horse meshes. Incompatible with VR and the Fluffworks - CC WIld horses patch. Optionally patch the white fur saddle with fluffworks.
The Skins were distributed as follows:
Unicorn - Frost white with brown eyes, and white mane and tail
Chestnut - Exmoor pony, like Windhlem's horse
Red - Haflinger horse, like Markarth's horse
White - Frost white with dark eyes, and Fjord mane and tail
Grey - Grey Fell Pony, like Riften's horse
Black - Black fell pony, like Whiterun's horse
Brown - Fjord Horse, like Solitude's horse
Pale - Frost Blonde with grey eyes, and white mane and tail
~~~Compatibility~~~
This is a standalone horse overhaul, and is incompatible with other mods that make changes to horses.
If using fluffworks, please grab this mod, to remove the horses for maximum compatibility.
Some additional patching my be required, based on your load order (welcome to modding Skyrim)
