This mod **remakes all the original horses, giving them a whole new look**! Make the horse look more polished while maintaining the style of the original.

✨ Module Features

👁️ 1. Eye color

**New eye colors added**! In addition to the original brown and blue eyes, horse eyes can now be seen in a variety of different colors.

🗣️ 2. Heavy horse sounds

**All heavy horses now have deeper sounds** (just like the Ardennes).

🏷️ 3. Coat color name

**Changed the names of some horse coat colors** to make them more accurate. For example, the "Grullo Dun" Mustang from the original game was renamed "Grullo" because Grullo itself is a variant of dun.

📊 4. Horse attributes

**Adjusted horse attribute statistics** to make each breed more unique. Attribute modifications are based on true breed characteristics or personal preference.

💬 Author's words

This mod took over 2 months and over 150 hours to complete! Contains a remaster of 70 textures.

**Please note**: Please do not ask for the texture file corresponding to a specific horse. This module is designed to be a **complete remastered module** and is recommended for use as a whole. If you need individual horses, please use my other mods.

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.
