Tired of trying to remember which horse files have PC in the name? Is that horse Grey or Gray? Made a typo lately? Wish there was a one-click solution to horse modding? This is for you.
Fair warning: this is the first time I’ve made anything like this, so I expect that there will be some kind of problem with it somewhere. That said, I used it to redo my horse mod setup and haven’t run into anything yet.
Adding modded horses to the game is repetitive, prone to user error, and, above all, annoying. So annoying, actually, that I decided I’d try and make a tool to automate it despite having no experience in the area. The result is HorseyModder, a tool that helps streamline the process somewhat.
The process is:
1. Define your LML stream directory (for example: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Red Dead Redemption 2\lml\stream).
2. Define the directory where you store your horse mods (for example: D:/ModdedHorses).
3. Select a modded horse.
4. Find the vanilla horse you want it to replace, and hit Replace.
5. If you want to revert a horse back to its vanilla appearance, hit Revert.
6. Done!
The downsides:
1. You’re going to need to rename all your YMT files to something recognizable so you can find them in the list. I recommend using something like Advanced Renamer to help.
2. The tool ONLY works with YMT files. This means that any horse that uses modded textures WILL NOT WORK and will have to be modded in by hand, the old-fashioned way.
3. I couldn’t think of a way to track which horse is used to replace a given vanilla horse, so if you’re like me and have a dedicated RDR2 horse modding spreadsheet, you’ll probably still need to use that. Sorry.
4. It’s nearly 200mb. Sorry again, I did try to reduce it as much as possible.
5. Windows only for the moment.
Installation:
1. Unzip the .7z archive to a location of your choice.
2. Run HorseyModder.exe.
Uninstallation:
1. Delete the contents of the HorseyModder folder.
2. Delete the saved data in C:\Users\[you]\AppData\Local\HorseyModder (the tool saves your directory paths so you don’t have to add them each time)
Troubleshooting:
If your horses aren’t showing as Modded in the Game Horses panel, try hitting the Update Lists button. This will force the list to regenerate and should detect any mods.
