📋 About This Mod
Introduction:
This mod allows the player to fully customize Roach.
The main features are:
- 240+ items to customize your horse, including bodies, manes, tails, eyes and feathers.
- New merchants with daily schedule allowing the player to access the stable in every main hub of the game (White Orchard, Novigrad/Velen, Skellige, Toussaint).
- An unlocking system allowing the player to buy items only once and to keep them forever.
- A previewing system allowing the player to preview the items before spending money on them.
- Dynamic eyes, saddles, saddle bags, blinders and trophies adjusting to the used horse's body type.
- Dynamic manes and tails adjusting to the horse's body type and the saddle and blinders equipped.
- A dynamic dirtiness system.
- Horse animations with ground-based dust effects.
Hairworks is required to enjoy the mod to its fullest. Thus, it is highly recommended to enable it in your game parameters.
Once hairworks enabled, If you want hairworks on animals and monsters only, you can install this mod: Fake Hairworks
I simply cannot afford spending another thousand hours making hundreds of haircard models and desperately trying to get their color to match with hairworks.
Access the Stable:
The mod brings four new merchant to the game, each having a unique appearance and a daily schedule. They display a new unique horseshoe icon on both the map and the minimap.
You can find them as follows:
- In White Orchard, at the Westside of the village.
- In Novigrad, in the suburbs South to the Southern Gate.
- In Skellige, in Kear Trolde, in front of the inn. (Unlocked once you completed the fist fight also taking place in front of the inn.)
- In Toussaint, in Corvo Bianco. (Unlocked once you asked your majordomo to restore Corvo Bianco's stables.)
The mod introduces an innovative scene-based merchant system based on the way barbers were developed by cdpr, improved with dynamic cameras revolving around the body part of interest, and a previewing system enabled by simply hovering over the choices available. The mod also comes with an unlocking mechanism allowing the player to keep the purchased items permanently available as free choices.
All merchants have all the items contained in the mod for you to buy. You can buy items at a stable, and retrieve what you bought in the others stables without paying again.
Available items:
In this mod you will find 248 items to customize your horse:
- Eyes are improved with caruncula lacrimalis and eyelashes and are available in 12 colors. They dynamically adjust to the horse body.
