Hey there! My name is Agentized but you can call me Agent or Ashe. Welcome to my little corner of shinies. 🙂
I am a horse guy! I have over ten years of riding experience under my belt so it’s no wonder I am absolutely in love with this game and its horses! Horses have always been more of a passion for me than just a hobby, to the point where I know them down to their genetics. As such… my aim is to bring mostly accurate and completely gorgeous horses to RDR2!
Now I am very new to modding horse coats, and I only know how to mix and match vanilla markings. I actually just picked it within the past week, and was only intending on making horses for my own use, but I’m having lots of fun playing around and making new horses and figured I’d share with the community. However, this means that for the time being, I will not be doing any requests. Sorry! I’m going to further my experience with the coding and the palettes and bring the horses into the game that I want to make first. Eventually I might be open to it, however. 🙂
Anyways, I hope you enjoy my small catalogue of ever expanding coats!
Why the one Dutch Warmblood?
I always wanted a horse that looked like that in the game! Black horses are my favorite. And the Dutch Warmblood model just looks really nice– and it’s one of the few breeds in the game that might realistically have a coat like that. 🙂
Why all the Shires?
I can’t stand seeing wagon or coach teams so vastly different in size! You want your pulling teams to be as close together in size as possible, or else the traces are uneven! And out of all the drafts in the game, I like the Shires the most. They’re the most colorful out of the drafts in-game too.
Why the draft crossbreeds?
First to address, yes I just used the Suffolk Punch model. While I believe I could mess around with the models and customize one, I think the Suffolk model suffices enough here. 🙂 And second, I despise how small the in-game Morgans are, and I find it more realistic that not everyone would be riding a purebred. Plus, the variety in models for the riding horses makes the game more interesting, I feel like. And no, I’m not done replacing the Morgans. 😉
How to install:
1) First you will need Lenny’s Mod Loader, follow their instructions to download it if you haven’t already!
a) Create a Stream folder within the lml folder if you don’t already have one.
2) I would recommend downloading Asi Loader if you don’t have it, in order to load any multiplayer components (otherwise they will be invisible).
2) After that, download whichever coat/s you would like and unzip them into whatever destination is most convenient to you (I usually just unzip into my downloads folder). I would recommend 7-Zip if you need an unzipping program.
a) Right click > Show more options > 7-Zip > Extract
3) Take the .ymt file from the extracted folder and place it in the Stream folder.
a) If you don’t want to replace the particular horse I have set the coat to replace, simply rename the .ymt file to the horse you would like the coat to replace. For example, I have one of my Shire coats set to replace a Suffolk Punch. The .ymt file is currently, a_c_horse_suffolkpunch_redchestnut.ymt, but if you would want it to replace the bay roan Morgan, you would rename it to a_c_horse_morgan_bayroan.ymt. If you need help figuring out what you need to rename the .ymt as, feel free to ask. 🙂 Alternatively, you can also go to a mod such as Bigger Horses, and download the file for whichever breed you want to see the different .ymt file names.
4) Load up your game and enjoy!
