North Swedish Draft Horse

North Swedish Draft Horse

This mod introduces a new breed to the game – the sturdy and reliable North Swedish Draft Horse! This pack comes with a brand new model along with custom coats.

Time to bring something entirely new to the game! This horse is a very popular riding horse in my native country, partly cause of its slightly less bulky build compared to to other draft horses. It’s considered a great choice for the beginners, this horse has a sturdy gait and a friendly, calm temperament.

The colors are very limited, usually ranging from dark bays, buckskins and flaxen chestnuts. Only a select few have inherited the cream gene, among those select few is “Vindus”, who has a perlino coat, therefore he’s not officially “approved” for the breed, but he looks absolutely beautiful nonetheless so I wanted to include that unique coat.

INSTALLATION

I recommend tinkering with horse mods manually, without the mod manager that comes with lenny’s modloader. It’s easier to keep track of your files that way.
You’ll need Alexander Blade’s Scripthook, Asi Loader and last but not least I recommend you install Rampage Trainer, if you want to use the horse(s) you’ve added immediately.
Once Lenny’s Mod Loader is in your game’s directory, you need to create a folder in “lml” and name it “stream”. Here’s where all your texture files will be located when replacing the ones in game.

Better Horses

With all these packs, you will see I’ve written down what horse it replaces, yet still you’ll notice the name of the .ymt file is a completely different horse in some cases. This is because some of the textures are used by more than one breed, and if it’s “overwritten” by multiple horses there will be complications and coats won’t show up correctly.

OBS!
I have honestly tried my best in order to make these compatible with each other, however I can’t say it’s completely safe. You can rename the .ymt files to any horse you want to replace, but some textures won’t work together with the vanilla ones, resulting in other coats looking strange. In a complete horse texture overhaul mod, you’d need to modify only the colors of a horse in some cases, without adding in your own textures (.ytd’s), for this reason.

I know we all like the ability to customise our horses, and for that reason, I will allow you to change the color of a horse’s eyes. I could make 2 variations of each horse with blue & brown eyes but that would just be tedious and hard for me to manage, both with the files and the images xD

So, in order to do this, you need to open the .YMT file. You do this with the standard notes app. In here, you’ll need to search for one of the two following lines. You do this by clicking on Ctrl+F or going to the menu, pressing “edit” and “search”. Then paste one of these codes:

0x74791D3A is the code for blue eyes

0x25D15B14 is the code for brown eyes

Depending on what horse you’re modifying, replace the code you find with either of those 2 🙂
