Slof's Asymmetrical Horse Project SSE 2021

I have done a complete texture overhaul for this mod after I spotted a few mistakes while riding my horses around Skyrim. The original textures are now in the 'old versions' section in case those are still preferred over my new ones. They will still work just as before.

Horses don't have symmetrical markings in real life, so with much re-jigging the horse UV map, I have made them completely asymmetrical and put everything onto one larger sheet, including mane and tail. This allows me to make unique hair for each texture as well as having all 4 legs different and eyes can be odd-eyed as needed. Body is no longer a mirrored texture; instead, think 'horse-skin rug'! This will look better when riding fancy horses such as appaloosas, etc, with the spots all different on each side. This was something that bugged me while riding around! Due to the nature of the new textures and how I've set them up for each individual horse, there is now a required esp file to make it display the colours properly. Each pack of textures will be as interchangeable as ever, with the same esp.

Reference for mix and matching textures from the packs:

horse01 - Windhelm

horse02 - Solitude

horse03 - Riften

horse04 - Whiterun

horse05 - Markarth

The optional packs are:

Pack 1 - Solid Colours

Pack 2 - Solid Colours

Pack 3 - Pintos (paint horses)

Pack 4 - Appaloosas (spotted horses)

Pack 5 - Zorses (horse/zebra hybrids)

Pack 6 - Brindles and chimera (very rare linked genetic anomalies)

Pack 7 - Miscellaneous Colours

Pack 8 - More Miscellaneous Colours (some are somewhat fantastical - three are based upon my cats!)

Pack 9 - Even More Miscellaneous Colours (the things I find while browsing the 'net!)

Horses are stallion as default, but they can be made into mares by removing the modular genitalia. I have also added an optional mesh file for a slightly 'excited' stallion, meant really for use with horse breeding mods and the like.

If anyone wants a specific coat pattern that isn't here, or to resemble a pet, or wanted for a mod, please ask me. My Photoshop files are set up to make creating new textures easy. If it's wanted to resemble a pet, please provide me with pics.

Big thanks to Rebel O'conner for unfolding the body map for me!

Use this texture freely, as it is a resource.

Now includes a tweaked _sk texture to remove a blueish cast to the horses. Thanks to BierPizzaChips for the tweak.
