🎯 Module introduction

This is my personal reinterpretation of fictional horses from other games, movies, etc. I edited some models and fur colors to try to make them look closer to the originals, I hope you like them! I welcome requests and suggestions for more fictional horses.

🛠️ How it works

My mod serves as a skin for existing horses in the game, so they will spawn naturally like regular horses. By default I'll replace a horse, but you can replace any horse you want by renaming the .ymt file.

For example, the default file is a_c_horse_mustang_tigerstripedbay.ymt, but if you want the mod horse to appear on a white Arabian horse instead of a Tigerstriped Bay horse, you need to rename it to a_c_horse_arabian_white.ymt.

⚠️ **NOTE**: Only rename .YMT files, not .YTD files!

You can completely revamp your game and replace every vanilla horse with one from this or other mods, with no impact on game performance and no limit on quantity. My entire horse population has been replaced and is running great, have fun exploring new breeds and coat colors and your NPCs will be happier too!

📥 Installation Guide

1️⃣ Download and install the required mods

2️⃣ Install Lenny's Mod Loader properly into your RDR2 home directory (usually Program Files/Rockstar Games/Red Dead Redemption 2), create a folder called "stream" inside the "lml" folder, and put my .ymt file in it

💡 **Tip**: You can find out how to name each horse by looking at the RDR2 Pedestrian Database. Search for a_c_horse to find relevant information. You can also resize the horse by editing the

❓ FAQ

**Q: What should I do if the module horse cannot be seen? **

A: This may be due to online related coat color issues. Please make sure you have the latest version of the game (including online content), or try using another trainer like Rampage

**Q: Can I put a certain coat color on other horses? **

A: Might consider it if I had time and the horse was on my list. If you need it for personal use, you can send me a private message

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.
