Red Dead Work Horses

🐎Module introduction

Welcome to the Red Dead Redemption Work Horse mod! This mod is designed for players who like working horses in the game. You can have your existing horses wear any coat color you want (by renaming the desired coat color file to your current horse's file name), or have any horse have a different body type by placing the required files into the stream folder.

⚙️ Installation requirements

  • Lenny's Mod Loader
  • The "version.dll" file in Lenny's Simple Trainer
💡 **IMPORTANT NOTE**: If you are installing the above mods for the first time, be sure to follow their installation instructions carefully. Without placing "version.dll" into the root directory, the new online coat colors will not load correctly in story mode, which will cause the horse to become partially invisible!

📦 Installation method

Unzip the required files and place them into the `Red Dead Redemption 2/lml/stream` folder. If the stream folder does not exist, it needs to be created 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 names.

📏 Adjust horse size

Open the required file with a text editor and adjust the scale value as needed. The file contains a schematic diagram of the location of the scale values.

**Example value:**

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

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE

  • These are not custom coat colors, they are the ones originally created by R*, I only changed the body type
  • These are **purely cosmetic** modifications and will **not** affect horse attributes or NPC reactions to horses
  • Feel free to use and modify these files for experimentation
  • The author only knows German, English and a little French

Enjoy adventures in the Wild West with your favorite horse! 🤠

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.
