Mod Descripton:
I was delighted when Oblvion had horses in it, but
then was disappointed when some of them were a bit
o­n the purple side! After a steep, and often
frustrating learning curve, and getting my head
around a different way of working, I made a start
o­n dealing with the purple issue. At first it
was just going to be a simple replacer, just
simply replacing textures without needing an esp.
This would have been a lot of effort and faff
unpacking bsa's or editing invalidation txts,
so I decided to go down the esp road instead. Cue
more frustrations and a temporary shelving of the
project (again) until I could figure it out. Doing
it this way means I can provide lots of different
options. Firstly, I've made the player-owned
horses unique, with their own markings and
colours. Where the same type of horse is sold in
different places, where you purchase the horse
from will have a bearing o­n its
colour.<br><br>For example: Bruma and Leyawiin
both sell paint horses. With this mod,
Leywiin's horses are brown and white, from
Bruma they are black and white. This o­nly
happens for the player.<br><br>I've also
removed the saddles from the pastured horses,
since a horse doesn't wear a saddle 24/7. They
are o­nly saddled up for the player and other
riders. Unicorn and Shadowmere are unique. A
version with player-owned horses marked essential
(god mode!) is also available.<br><br>This is the
base version, playable and can be used as a
modders' resource.<br><br>New in v.1.4:
Stallion models neck hole problem fixed. Saddlebag
models added to player horses. Bay horse bought
from Skingrad Stables is now a dun for variety.
New 'extras' folder with base and
essential esps with armour o­n the Imperial
horses. Bethesda's Official Horse Armour mod
is required for these to work, with the files
installed. I have not supplied horse armour files
to keep it all legit.<br>
