Red Dead Arabian

🐎 Welcome to the Red Dead Redemption Arabian Horse Mod

These files are designed for gamers like me who love Arabian horses. You can dress an Arabian horse in any coat color you want (by renaming the file with the coat color you want to the name of the Arabian horse file you own), or give any horse an Arabian horse body by simply placing the file into the stream folder (see the "How to Install" section for details).

⚙️ Installation requirements

  • Lenny's mod loader
  • "version.dll" in Lenny's simple trainer
**IMPORTANT NOTE:** If you are installing the above mods for the first time, please be sure to follow their installation instructions carefully.
⚠️ **WARNING:** If you do not put "version.dll" into the root directory, newer online coat colors will not load correctly in story mode, which will cause the horse to become partially invisible!

📦 Installation method

Unzip the files you need and place them into the *Red Dead Redemption 2/lml/stream* folder. If the stream folder does not exist, you need to create it manually.

**Note:** Do not put the .rar compressed package directly into the stream folder.

🎨 Replace other horses

Rename the ymt file to the horse file name you want to replace. The file contains a list of all available file names.

**Tip:** If you are looking for a horse without feathers, please check out the optional files.

📏 Adjust horse size

Open the required file using a text editor and modify the scale value to your liking. The file contains a picture description of the scale value location.

**Example scale values:**

  • Arabian Horse: 0.91875000
  • Kentucky Saddle Horse: 1.01700000
  • Hungarian Half-blood Horse: 1.08750000
  • Sharma: 1.14370000

💡 IMPORTANT NOTE

  • Most of these coat colors are not custom-made, but originally designed by Rockstar. I just applied them all to the Arabian horse (except the existing Arabian horse coat color)
  • Any custom coat colors are in "optional files"
  • These modifications are cosmetic changes only and will not affect the horse's statistics or NPC reactions to the horse.
  • Feel free to use and modify these files for experimentation

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.
