Increases the stats of buyable horses in the game.
UPDATED FOR PATCH 1.2
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
This mod increases the stats of the buyable horses in KCD2.
There is a version for all horses, one for only Pebbles and one for only Herring.
Both Pebbles and Herring start out as pretty bad horses with low stats. After you ride them for quite a while, hidden perks are activated. "Good Old Pebbles" gives a buff to Pebbles stats, and "Red Herring" gives a buff to Herrings stats.
With these buffs Pebbles and Herring become two of the best horses in the game. However, they aren't the best in any one category.
This mod increases the stats Pebbles and Herring start with.
You can either use the regular versions, which make Pebbles and Herring better from the start but still require you to get the hidden perks in order to make them the best horses in the game, or you can use one of the "No Buff" versions, which max out their stats right from the start.
In this case the buff you get from the hidden perks will not be necessary, nor will they have any addition benefit. They aren't harmful either as far as I can tell, so you can just ignore them.
Installation
CHOOSE ONLY ONE FILE !!!
Extract that file in the games Mods folder. If you don't have one, you need to create it.
It should look like this:
...\Steam\steamapps\common\KingdomComeDeliverance2\Mods\modname
Make sure that the folder inside the Mods folder is one of these:
betterhorses
betterhorsesnobuff
betterpebbles
betterpebblesnobuff
betterherring
betterherringnobuff
OR
Install with Vortex. I don't use it, but it should work.
Additional Information
Their is another mod, Pebbles Ascended (PTF), that changes the effect of the hidden perks so that Pebbles and Herring start out as the terrible horses Warhorse wanted them to be, but become the best horses in the game later.
However, I couldn't get that mod to work and according to other comments under that mod, many others couldn't, either.
Still, if you prefer what that mod does over my mod, head over there and try it out for yourself.
Alternatively, you can just wait until you get one of those hidden perks before you install my mod.
All horse stats have an upper limit. Increasing the stats more than I have has no effect in the game.
If you are still not satisfied with the speed of your horse, head over to Faster Horses With HeadStartII Perk.
There are apparently some horses in the game that you can steal and make yours. I haven't found all of them in the game files, because some horses have different names in the files than in the game. If you desperately want one of those horses stats increased, you can comment with the horses name and where to find it in the game world and I might take another look.
Compatibility
Not compatible with any mod that changes horses.xml.
As far as I know, the only other mod doing that for now is Unique horses
Please let me know if you have any problems with this mod and I will try to fix it.
