🐎 **Let your horse experience more realistic survival needs! **
Module Introduction
This mod adds 3 new core states for your horses: **Hungry**, **Thirsty** and **Horse Condition**. You can turn off any core feature in the `.ini` configuration file to completely customize your gaming experience!

🍎 Hungry
The hunger system is the most basic part of the mod. It will ramp down at the rate you set in the `.ini` file. You can replenish hunger by **feeding** your horse** or letting it **graze** on its own.
💧 thirsty
The thirst value will also be gradually reduced based on the settings in the `.ini` file. When your horse stands in a water source (note: you cannot ride on its back), it will automatically drink to quench its thirst.
🐴 Horseshoe
The condition system for horseshoes is slightly different! How quickly it wears out depends on how you use your horse:
- **Galloping**: The fastest loss
- **Trotting**: normal wear and tear
- **Other Actions**: No loss
When the horseshoe condition drops below **50%**, you can clean it by walking up to the horse and pressing the prompt key. We may update the animation of cleaning horseshoes in the future!

⚠️ Punishment mechanism
If the core value drops to zero, your horse will be punished:
- **Hunger or thirst value is zero**: The horse's regular core (such as physical strength, health) will begin to be consumed at an accelerated rate.
- **Horseshoe status is zero**: Your horse will **not be able to run** and will only be able to walk slowly.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- 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.
