A Herring Compendium

🐎 **Give your herring horse a new look! **

✨ Module Features

This is a collection of looks specifically designed for Herring Horses, inspired by my Pebbles Compendium mod.

Special thanks to Invisai and their horse editing guide for allowing me to package this mod in a neat way that avoids conflicts with other mods that modify the CharacterComponent.xml and appearance_horse.xml files. Therefore, this mod is compatible with all mods that do not directly affect herring horses.

📥 Installation Guide

  • **Download**: Select your favorite file
  • **Extract**: Extract the files to an accessible location
  • **Choose**: Choose your favorite herring horse shape!

💡 **No need to edit .xml files or repackage, just drag and drop to customize! **

🎨 Custom steps

  • **Choose Mane and Tail Color**
  • **Choose a mane and tail style combination**
  • **Select your preferred body variant (including hoof feathering options)**
  • **Drag and drop the folder into the "Mods" folder**

**Mods folder location:**

`\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\KingdomComeDeliverance2\Mods`

If the "Mods" folder does not exist, simply create a new folder and rename it to "Mods".

✅ **Example of path after correct installation:**

`\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\KingdomComeDeliverance2\Mods\blackbeauty_herring`

🔧Mod Manager Installation

Follow the steps above, but instead of dragging and dropping the "blackbeauty_herring" folder directly into the "Mods" folder, use WinRAR or Windows' "Compress" function to compress the folder into a .zip or .rar file, and then add the compressed file through the mod manager.

🌟 **Requests welcome! ** But please note that since I'm just swapping lines of code in the .xml file and not editing the materials/mesh/textures etc., only certain combinations are actually possible. Still, I could probably make a herring horse look like any existing horse and change the actual body structure of the horse.

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.
