📋 About This Mod

NOTE: These fixes are already included with Thoughtful Roach so there's no need to download if you use that mod.

This mod fixes the following identified horse related bugs:

  • []Missing tail;

    []Missing or half mane shown on next horse spawn after switching from a saddle that covers the neck to one which doesn't;

    []Wrong tail shown on next horse spawn after switching from any of the Toussaint saddles to any of the others;

    []Horse mane displayed incorrectly over the Caparison of Lament saddle.

    You can uninstall the mod after it fixes Roach, but I recommend keeping it to provide active protection against such problems creeping up on her in the future.

    INSTALLATION

    Use Vortex or manually extract the file into your mods folder;

    Run Script Merger to identify and solve potential conflicts with other mods.

    FEEDBACK

    If your horse is afflicted by an issue not mentioned here, let me know in the comments and I'll try to update the mod to address it. Please include a savegame with the problem in your report.
