✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it says—no more fighting Roach for control on roads
- Decent community trust (107 endorsements) for such a niche fix
- Simple install, no dependencies to worry about
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects road-following—if you wanted other horse AI tweaks, this isn't it
- Last updated in 2023, so it might not be tested with the latest game patches
- No documentation or troubleshooting included, so you're on your own if issues pop up
For Witcher 3 players who hate when Roach veers onto roads automatically and want full control. If you're a purist who prefers manual riding, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for broader horse improvements—this is a one-trick pony.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod folder in your 'Mods' directory (e.g., The Witcher 3\Mods).
- If you use Script Merger, run it after installing to avoid conflicts with other mods that edit horse behavior.
- Test on a road right after installing—if Roach still follows, check that the mod is enabled in your mod list.
