A solution to the replacement of horse footsteps. No more interfering with normal footsteps or making everything sound like a horse!

Change horse sound effects

🎵 **A perfect horse footsteps replacement solution! ** Say goodbye to those annoyances that interfere with ordinary footsteps or make everything sound like horses!

---

✨ Main functions

  • 🐎 **Personalized Horse Sounds**: Set a unique sound for each horse
  • 🔧 **Strong Compatibility**: Works perfectly with Multiple Horses mod
  • 🎮 **Single and Multiplayer Support**: Works well in various game modes
  • ⚙️ **Flexible Configuration**: Easily enable/disable via GMCM or configuration files

🎯 How to use

To replace the sound effects for a specific horse, you need to add 3 wav files to the assets folder of the mod:

  • `HorseName_thudStep.wav` (mud footsteps)
  • `HorseName_stoneStep.wav` (stone footsteps)
  • `HorseName_woodyStep.wav` (wooden footsteps)

Just replace `HorseName` with your horse’s name!

🌟 Batch replacement

If you want to replace all horse sounds, just add the following file:

  • `thudStep.wav`
  • `stoneStep.wav`
  • `woodyStep.wav`

**NOTE**: Horse name specific files will overwrite these generic files.

🔧 Advanced configuration

The module will mute all horse sounds by default. You can adjust it in the following ways:

  • Visual settings using GMCM menu
  • Edit configuration files for more advanced options
  • Set a specific sound effect to play only once instead of looping

🐛 Fix original bug

This mod also fixes a vanilla game bug: in multiplayer mode, you couldn't hear other players' footsteps while riding a horse until you dismounted. **This fix will take effect regardless of whether horse footsteps sound replacement is enabled**, so you can download this mod just for this fix!

💡 Usage suggestions

  • If you use Alternative Textures to repaint your horse's skin, you can get a more complete personalized experience with this mod.
  • In multiplayer games, all players need to install the same mods and sound effects files to hear consistent sound effects

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)

  1. Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
  2. Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
  3. Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
  4. Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.

Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
