You want a different horse, but you’re not too keen on the “flashy” style. Just like that "original" style? Well, this mod is perfect for you!

All vanilla horses have been remade to make them look better and more beautiful. Download, install and enjoy! ! !

☆Description

The title says it all, this is basically a "vanilla horse enhancement" mod. There is no longer a need to share textures between 5 or more horses as 70 new textures have been made so each horse will now have a unique look and markings! All of the horse models have been completely changed or slightly tweaked as I wasn't completely satisfied with the original models. All of this is done to stay as "original" as possible.

Why is Stay Vanilla better?

Because this mod not only enhances the stock horse with a new look and model, but it also adds some cool stuff!

• Eyes

In fact, Stay Vanilla adds new eye colors. You read that right, ADDS.

There will still be those horses with brown and blue eyes, but watch out for those with different eye colors!

• The sound of drafting horses

I also modified all the draft horse sounds to make them sound deeper (like Alden does)

Because I think larger horses like a Shire or a Belgian should sound more...well, intimidating!

• Appearance name

Some horse appearance names have also been changed, mainly to make them more accurate:

For example, in the original version, we had a Grullo Dun Mustang (Grullo was just a dun variation, so saying Grullo Dun was redundant) which became just "Grullo" along with Stay Vanilla.

Feel free to correct me if there's something wrong with the names, or if more appearance names need to be changed, leave a comment and I'll fix it in the next update!

I admit I'm not a very professional horse trainer, but I've allowed myself to learn enough to know that all the names I changed are pretty accurate.

• Horse statistics

Last but not least, the horse attribute stats have been tweaked as I wanted each breed to be more unique. Not just the looks, but the properties too.

The statistics have been modified to reflect real horse characteristics, such as the speed of the American Pinto Horse, and others to follow my personal taste.

☆Requirements:

Script Hook

Asi Loader

Lenny's Mod Loader (LML) (Mod Manager)

☆Installation:

After unzipping, open the folder "Stay Vanilla - Horses Overhaul" and put the two subfolders "Stay Vanilla Assets" and "stream" into the "lml" folder in the game root directory.

☆Conflict

This mod uses and modifies non-texture files such as pedattributes.ymt to change horse statistics, metapeds.ymt to modify draft horse sounds and assets_albedo.ymt to add new eye textures without overwriting existing textures.

Therefore, this mod is incompatible with almost all other mods that use and modify these files.

If you try to use only the stream folder without using the assets from Stay Vanilla Assets, some horses will lose their eyes and mouths. To avoid this, you must at least use the assets_albedo.ymt file.

If you don't want to change "stats/horse sounds", or another mod already installed has modified these files, you can separate pedattributes.ymt and metapeds.ymt.

I'll list some conflicting mods:

① WhyEm's DLC (Clothing Pack)

② EEE (Extended Accessory Pack)

③ Better Horses (better horses)

④ All horses are perfect (all horses have perfect attributes)

⑤ Cowgirls Revisioned (Cowgirls revised version)

①② = Highly incompatible: use assets_albedo.ymt

③④⑤ = Use metapeds.ymt or pedattributes.ymt (or both)

I don't plan to make this mod compatible with the ① and ② mods for the time being. So no need to leave a message to request a merge.

★Comments

I've been working on this mod back and forth for over 2 months, so I'm excited to finally share this with you all. This is the biggest mod I've ever made and it took me over 150 hours to complete! Am I a masochist? …
