🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This SSE port brings the Four Horses of the Apocalypse to Skyrim Special Edition, adding four summonable, invincible mounts with custom textures, auras, and sounds. Each horse has a unique mounted ability, from burning enemies to instant-killing low-level foes. A fan upload of an existing mod, it's a solid choice for players wanting apocalyptic-themed mounts.

✨ Key Features

Adds four summonable horses: War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death, each with custom textures, visual aura effects, and sounds.
Horses can be summoned anywhere outside using four separate spells and can be mounted indefinitely.
All horses are invincible and have unique hostile abilities when mounted: War burns nearby enemies, Famine sends locusts that slowly eat enemies, Pestilence emits toxic clouds, and Death instantly kills targets under level 7.
Horses are located inside the Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon, accessible after completing the quest for the Razor, in a lockbox called 'Strange Strongbox'.
Inspired by Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare's horses of the apocalypse, with similarities and differences.
This is a port of an existing mod, uploaded by a different author, not the original creator.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-trusted port with 411 endorsements and nearly 10k downloads, so it's been tested by plenty of players.
  • Each horse has a distinct, powerful ability that makes mounted combat fun and varied—Death's insta-kill on low-levels is a nice touch.
  • The custom textures and aura effects give these mounts a unique, apocalyptic look that stands out from vanilla horses.

⚠️ Cons

  • This is a re-upload, not the original mod, so you're relying on a third-party port that might have issues or lack support from the original author.
  • The mod hasn't been updated since August 2019, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches or other mods.
  • You need to complete the Mehrunes Razor quest just to access the horses, which is a bit of a hassle if you want them early in a playthrough.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a set of overpowered, thematic mounts with unique combat abilities and don't mind a quest requirement. It's perfect for roleplayers who want to ride into battle as the harbinger of doom. Skip if you prefer balanced gameplay or want mounts that are just cosmetic—these are game-changing.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you've completed the 'Pieces of the Past' quest to get the Mehrunes Razor, or the shrine won't be accessible.
  • The horses are invincible, so don't worry about them dying in combat—use them aggressively.
  • If you're using a mod manager, install this port like any other mod; it's a simple file drop, so manual install works too.
