📋 About This Mod

Description:

Replace all Skyrim horses or create a unique horse with Aenbyr mod support.

The horse's body was based on a unicorn (port of the Oblivion horse) that I pulled from the Unicorn mod by Holugar.

If you've used this mod, you must remember that his legs didn't curve quite right, and his neck seemed too long (in fact, it is not, but this impression is created due to the small chest and back). I changed it and drew new textures.

'Short' Mane came from the Old Horse by katkat74 . Also, some saddles from the CraftableHorseBarding or CH pack have been replaced with saddles from the Demonic Horse-Shadowmere Replacer mod.

More accurate information:

Base file -Replaces models of all standard horses, except draft horses. Creates an additional, unique model for saddled draft horses (those that can be                  purchased) and Frost. Accordingly, it conflicts with mods that replace Windhelm and Frost's horses.

Base file-mini -Only replaces models of standard horses (works as a standard replacer, but only affects the basic 5 skins + shadowmere) Draft horses will also   be changed to new models, Frost will not have a unique texture.

Patch for CH -(no special need for it, it's the same base mod, but it should always be loaded after the main CH mod (only skins conflict))

Patch for IH -Main conflict in Frost and Windhelm horses. Patch corrects the stats of these horses like those of IH, but changes the skin to mine.

Patch for Unicorn -Only new models and textures. Simple overwrite.

Patch for Aenbyr (use coat-primitive, mane-primitive, eye-vibrant)

Update: 3. 2  (this is all, for the near future)

  • []added 7 new skins

    []added long mane option for Aenbyr

    Update: 3. 1

    Before updating, please uninstall the previous version.

    • []Global reworking of the model, now using OutfitStudio. This program is not designed to edit non-standard models. But, thanks to this program, horses blink fully and adequately. Their tails don't stick out. The armor can be adjusted to a much higher quality, which will be discussed next.

    • []Saddle support has been returned. In the screenshots you can see fitted Craftable Horse Barding saddles, the main part of them was also transferred to Convenient Horses, but not all saddles fit into this mod. If you like a CHB saddle but it's not available in CH, you'll have to manually change the models you want.

      The new supported saddles have been slightly changed in design, and should not constantly sink into the body, unlike older versions.[]Installer support has returned. If you install a mod using it, please make sure that all the files you select are installed. If you encounter problems, please report a bug.

      []Change in fur. Finally seems adequate.

      []Added alternative skins for all horses. (for now, they are not finished and there are fewer of them than we would like) if there are no problems, more can be added in the future.

      []Patches for Aenbyr, Unicorn, Blaze, Arvak are now in a separate patch pack.

      Requirements:

      Recommended:

      Improved horse step sounds from IHSS - Improved Horse Step Sounds.

      Rider animations from Skyrim Horses Renewal (you don't have to set idle animations if you don't like them).

      Alternative animations for horses if you are annoyed by widely spread legs (recommended to install only for advanced users)

      -from Horses Revamped (set everything except idle animations-idle and

      turns - walkforwardr, walkforwardl, runforwardr, runforwardl)

      -or Skyrim Horses Renewal (these animations don't work well with long/vanilla manes)

      Compatibility:

      Convenient horses

      Immersive Horses

      Craftable Horse Barding

      Aenbyr Custom Horse (Use coat-primitive, mane-primitive, eye-vibrant)

      Creation Club Wild Horses (thanks to woodlandpearl, see Creation Club Wild Horses as Oblivion Horses mod)

      Installation:

       The main thing with manual installation is that there should be only one esp file!

      1. Select the esp file and place it in Data folder -select Oblivion horse.esp if you don't have third party horse mods, OblivionHorses_CH_Patch or OblivionHorses_ImmersiveH_Patch if you use one of these mods.

      2. Move the files from 03Main to the Data folder. <
