1. INTRODUCTION

Hi, again! This is a project I wasworking in, even before Lipizzaners idea came to my mind. A well-known modder, Bolju, created a Foal add-on some time ago and I tried for my game, turning out that I loved having my own foal when my mare is unable to get pregnant because Rockstar forgot to put foals on Red Dead world. So I thought ‘why not to create something similar but much more varied?’. Bolju’s foals are undoubtedly cute, but there’re just 2 coats… and tons of adult recolors and remakes in Nexus.
We need more! So this mod covers a little bit that necessity. I recommend to use it together Dynamic Seasons for a more realistic experience, and if you can, with Wild Horses in case you want to take some cool photos.

The model is based, on one hand, on vanilla Appaloosa, but with tweaks and some body changes to look more like a
2-3 months old foal instead of a newly born; and, in the other hand, in Arabian Rockstar’s model. I’ve included also a
colourful variety of feathered ones for those who prefer draft and heavy horses. If you find a very minor difference between yours and the ones of the pics I took is due to I had to correct some things like manes or color coats before realeasing but having already took the photos ingame. The black normal is more black, the black overo should have a black mane now, the silver bay is darker and gold buckskin is now lighter.

I bring you more than 20 coats forfoals, some of them an small version of the adults you can find somewhere in the map. With this, you can roleplay your horses in the way you want! And, of course, you can still summon them to serve as trading mules, but keep in mind they’re big little horsies. I mean, they’re still horses and will behave like any other adult horse.

If you miss white greyish and dappled foals, I will tell you that they don’t actually exist, because they born bay or black and turn dapple or flea bitten before getting fully white, so dappling process begins at the 2 year or so. Instead, you’ll find pure white foals, and if you want to roleplay a light grey horse, I’d recommend you to use dark grey, black or diluted. The only exception is
the feathered silver dapple pinto, whose spots would eventually disappear when aging.

2. REQUIREMENTS
–Lenny’s Mod Loader.
-Alexander Blade Scripthook.
–Asi Loader (dll version).
–Rampage Trainer.

3. HOW TO INSTALL

1) Install firstly the required script mods from above and choose the proper version of each one akin to your game version. You can find them in Nexus, as well as their installation guides, but generally you’ll have to extract the ABS (or another Scripthook), the Asi Loader dll file and more folders into the main root game folder.

2) Go inside your RDR2 game directory, where you have your .exe and launcher, and create a new folder called LML.

3) Click LML and, once you get there, create another folder more called Stream, where you’ll
place all the YMTs and YTDs files. Just drag’em all here.

4) Launch your game and if everything is right, you’ll see a loading bar and finally
you’ll be able to summon your new horses with Rampage Trainer >> Spawner >> Peds >> Horses

5) If your horses are invisible it’s because something got wrong: maybe their textures are
not compatible with scripts versions or you’ve placed another mod that changes some textures, or perhaps it’s a conflict between mods textures. My advice: don’t place textures YTDs files that have the same names unless they’re provided by the same author, due to some YTMs can share their texture with no problem but they’re mostly those ones like the grey Kentucky from Improved Kentucky Saddlers Mod, which is able to share the +45 texture files with the buttermilk buckskin from the same modder. If they come from different authors, they’ll
be probably not compatible.

6) If you want to replace a different horse in game, rename the YTM file to the horse you want to be replaced instead. There’s a guide in Nexus with all the proper names to choose from but you can use the list from below which includes all horses
breeds codes. If you want to replace, for example, the American Paint Grey Overo,
copy & paste the former ymt. so you can rename the horse file and so you’ll see the new horse breed instead of the old grey overo ingame.

4. WARNING! (Read me before you screw up!)

My foals are meant to replace online horses and in this case is mandatory you change YMTs files names to whichever regular horse breed you want to replace; otherwise you won’t be able to keep or stable them as they’ll occupy a permanent and undeleteble empty (invisible) space in your stables, or will become in normal Tennessee Walkers after launching game again! My advice is choosing an special horse ingame that can’t be ridden by NPCs, unless you want to get laugh of ridiculous people riding mini-horsies. For example the Raven Black Shire or the Mahogany Bay Tennessee. Avoid as much as you can replacing Kentuckies, Morgans, Tennessees, Warmbloods, American Paint Tobiano or Hungarians, because these are the most used breeds by civilians and Pinkertons.

Rename YMTs to one of these:

1) a_c_horse_tennesseewalker_mahoganybay.ymt (place a foal occupying the MahoganyBay horse slot).

2) a_c_horse_shire_ravenblack.ymt (if you didn’t sell him, or just spawn with Rampage).

3) a_c_horse_mustang_tigerstripedbay.ymt (good option cuz this one is only obtainable in 1 special quest (actually exploit) with Arthur or later in epilogues.
4) a_c_horse_andalusian_perlino.ymt (there’s only one roaming around Roanoke Ridge waterfall).

That’s all! Now you’re ready to enjoy’em! They’re surprisingly fast racers!

5. BUGS

Foals have minor bugs, but nothing very noticeable:

-They lift when Arthur puts saddle on/off, but they’ll stop floating if you pull them a bit.

-You’re unable to groom or feed’em.This is (I suposse) due to the game doesn’t recognize them like regular horses
because they’re quite smaller than normal ones.
