betterhorses

🐎 **Comprehensively improve the attributes of purchasable horses in KCD2! **

✨ Module function

This module specifically improves the basic attributes of the horses that can be purchased in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2:

  • **Multiple versions to choose from**: Provides all-horse enhanced version, only enhanced Pebbles version, only enhanced Herring version
  • **Hidden Feature Compatibility**: Retain the original hidden feature activation mechanism
  • **No gain version**: Provides a direct version with full attributes, no need to wait for hidden features

🐴 Horse details

**Pebbles and Herring** have poor initial attributes in the game:

  • After long rides, hidden features are activated
  • "Good Old Pebbles" improves Pebbles attributes
  • "Red Herring" improves Herring attributes
  • When activated they will become one of the best horses in the game

  • If you like the original hidden feature mechanism, it is recommended to install this mod after obtaining the hidden feature.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
