I am a bit confused on how to figure out the file name for the horses that I want. Is there a place that you can find out which in-game name corresponds to what file name? Because half the time the names aren't even remotely intuitive (like how Pebbles is under Sedivka). For unique horses at least...obviously most horses in-game name is jut Horse, which isnt helpful either lol
are you planning on making a tutorial for editing the horses or using the tools? ive tried doing what you said in the description but it just corrupts the game and wont launch. and the modding tools dont work for editing horses as the official modding page describes.
I tried following the description instructions to craft my own skin and it didn't work. Is there a more in depth guide available with clearer instructions.
I was trying to work out a list from the main game file with all the horses, but I wonder if there are more options. Like some of them say black hair 1 or such. Is there black hair 2/3/4 etc.
So I tried editing your mod to affect another horse (Erdel), and it went very poorly. It makes my horse invisible and all NPCs naked and bald. 😹 I don't even know how I screwed it up that badly, or what I even did wrong.
But I was wondering if you could give me some tips on how to create a mod like this for another horse? I can't use Herring or Pebbles because all the horses from Semine, Herring and Pebbles included, are gone after a one of my choices in the story, so I'd like to edit Erdel instead (he's closer to what I want, anyway), to give him the heavy, curly flipped black hair with hoof fuzzies.
Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated, thank you! 😊
Yeah, invis horse/naked NPC's is how you know something went wrong It technically doesn't even need the CharacterComponents file included, since you wanted it to remain looking like Erdel. The Storm appearance file is the one determining mane/tail, so that's all that was needed, and using the right tag for Erdel (which was body_kmal_horseForSale_5)
I got it done (check Optional files)! I can't believe you lost both Pebbles & Herring, you monster. lol
Sidenote though, if you want the friesian-esque curly-maned Erdel, while that mod is up in Optional Files, I currently don't have one that makes Herring look like that (just the original Erdel braids.) For some reason trying to switch Herring over to heavy_curly_hair_flipped_black and curly_tail_01 was causing brown-horse-errors and I couldn't figure out why, thought it would be simple. :\
same happend to me...and i thought i did everything right...i tried it so many times! i just want Pebbles to look like Erdel, but as a Noble_horse and only braided hair, tail normal (short). but it seems to be that i'm just uncapable of doing it! so frustrating! and i apriciate your work and time to explain to everybody how to do it! so nice! <3 (but i'm just to stupid) i will stay then with Herring as Erdel as you did, that's the closest to my dream horse (even though i would like to stick with Pebbles...). thank u so much for doing this mods!<3
So I love the idea of changing how the horses look and I've tried following the provided instructions to do what I'm attempting but I'm not sure its possible. Essentially, I would like to make Herring or Pebbles look like Erdel (the black dapple war horse with the braided tail). If this is at all possible might I be able to request something like that? I love the look that horse has but would appreciate keeping the perks that Herring/Pebbles get after the secret perk. Thanks in advance!!
There you go! I usually don't do requests, but I figured this would help anybody else too who wants to see how it compares from the other file, and how you can switch the Draft parts to Heavy/Warhorse. Least I think the original Erdel is set to Warhorse (Heavy) without the feathered hooves.
sorry if i seem like i'm begging but i've tried god knows how many times to make pebbles look like erdel with curly hair and hairy feet and it just won't work. could you do it please?

Would it be possible that you can upload it on Steam Workshop?
That would be great, I hope I dont ask for too much.

Thanks to the mod author for the description how to edit the files.
