📋 About This Mod
I started on this less than a day after I activated my copy of the game. The horses this time were not purple (YEY!), but I've given them a minor makeovers. The colours are a little richer, plus I've added shoes and retextured the eyes to make them look shiny. The horses' coat now have a bit of shine to them.
All my horse packs now come with a mare or stallion option, with anatomically correct texturing. Meshes are included with the packs as I tweaked the UV mapping on them as well to make the hairiness look better.
All the packs can be interchanged with the first texture pack to get whatever combination that's desired.
A zorse is a cross between a zebra and a horse, which results in some amazing colours and patterns. I've reproduced a few of them here. Like my other packs, these can be interchanged to suit.
All textures have had a slight overhaul, with added details, a new normal map and new hair alphas for extra detail.
Use this texture freely, as it is a resource.
Please do not upload this file anywhere else.
This also works fine in Skyri SE.
