I've restarted this horse mod almost as many times as todd has released skyrim

#I think this is the final time though #this one might actually make it to the nexus

the problem with me having modding as a hobby is that my brain has a very "if you give a mouse a cookie" response to learning skills, and there are way too many potential things you can learn with modding.

I wanted to make the skyrim horse texture a little nicer, so I had to learn how to extract and edit textures for sse

once I figured out how to do that, I realized that there were only two mane textures and that wasn't enough for the coats I wanted to make. so then I had to learn how to make a plugin with creation kit to add new mane textures.

poking around in creation kit made me realize that it's entirely possible to make unique textures for specific horses in the game (they otherwise all use one of five coat colors, even when it doesn't really work) so suddenly I had about double the amount of textures I wanted to make

investigating the mane color problem had lead me to discover that someone had made an alternate horse mesh with a UV that allows asymmetrical textures, so I figured out how to make that work with my plugin

this made me realize there were *other* things about the mesh that I kind of wanted to tweak and the altered UV had some issues and I wanted to make my own, which led me down a rabbit hole of editing nif files, which I eventually managed to do. three third party editing tools and two blender plugins later.

now that I've gained the ability to edit the meshes to make the horses look a bit nicer/better proportioned, my attention is drawn to the fact that the animations aren't very good and could use some fixing up.

I am now trying to restrain myself from going on a whole separate detour to learn how to edit animations for sse. at least until I've finished the original, more basic horse refurbishment I set out to make.

#this is in overdrive right now because I'm distracting myself with difficult problems on purpose #because our little dog that's been in the family for half my life is in his final days #the vet is coming on monday and there's nothing I can do until then so I am committing all my braincells to this horse problem #I don't know if it's actually made me feel better but I did finally get past a roadblock that's been preventing this mod for years so #that's something #we knew it was coming for a while so it's not as bad as it could be we've had time to mentally prepare #but still #it's never easy

the skyrim horse has less than 5000 polygons.

an entire horse.

I just feel like that's an interesting fact that the sims community should know before they make or download a 40,000 poly pair of pants.

#thanks to a very kind fellow modder I have made a breakthrough on the nif front so I am back on my skyrim horse mod bullshit #it might actually have less than I think #my estimate is coming from after I've been fiddling with it and giving it a more complex mane #I'm like de-optimizing this thing and it's still going to have a lower poly count than some earrings I've seen

monetarily speaking my cc is free but you pay for it in other ways (if given the slightest opening I will start explaining cat genetics to you in great detail)

I don't think you realize how happy your cats! mod made me. It's breathing so much more life into sims. Now I can cackle at dumb cat antics and not feel bad over giving my sims "bad" traits. Klepto cat club hours commence.

lol that's awesome! glad you're having fun with them

I will always be kind of baffled that they decided to put resources into adding mini sheep instead of like. giving us a well rounded horse feature in the horse pack about horses. adding ponies maybe. any kind of modular course system that we had over a decade ago in their last game.

the ol' razzle dazzle

#anyway I'm finally back to working on that skyrim nord saddle #weight painting tack is hell but I will persevere #the thing is the weight painting on the vanilla tack isn't that good so like #I don't have to set the highest bar for myself here

Hi! I really like your horse eyes. Can I ask if you somehow disabled the specular setting for them or are you using a mod for this?

You can mess with the specular map in Sims 4 Studio, here's an ask from a while back loosely explaining it

By the way if anybody has converted any of the vanilla clothing and would be cool with having it included with these conversions? By all means hit me up because this is a massive project. I will be very grateful and 100% credit you for your contribution in the description, only caveat is I may make minor edits for consistency (eg. I'm doing the thumbnails and display index in a particular way so I might change those if they don't match up)

(also if you don't want to/would rather keep your edits separate and just listed in the index, that's totally fine please don't feel pressured)

Update 4/21/24: Added the basegame lower body clothes I've gotten done thus far which comes to 15 for masc frame, 6 of which I was able to enable for fem frame as well. I'll update the package over time as I add more, but I didn't want to just sit on this one until it's fully done because that's gonna take a long time and I'd like to get some of the newer packs converted in the meantime.

Digitigrade Vanilla Clothing Edits

Lower body clothes edited for compatibility with my Digitigrade Werewolves override and Digitigrade Legs for human/other occult sims. Currently includes the following packs (modular download, choose based on what packs you have):

Basegame (WIP)

Werewolves

Get Together (lower body only)

They should be grouped together at or near the bottom of your sort order in CAS and show up for the same categories/filters as their vanilla counterparts, though so far I've had to add frame restrictions for anything originally made to go on both masculine and feminine frames due to mesh issues.

These are not an override and don't work on their own; they require Digitigrade Werewolves or Digitigrade Legs. They won't replace or alter the vanilla clothes they're based on, and are disabled for random. You'll have to manually replace the vanilla pants on NPC werewolves.

Where the hell have you been all my life I have been praying for cc like yours but never found anything even remotely as HQ as what you have stashed. I have a bunch of infernal beasties in my save who are crying tears of joy right now. Found you through that rant post and I'm so happy right now. You're an absolute fantasy legend. Thanks for all the hard work :D

jfkdlghkdflj thank you so much! it genuinely makes my day when someone's excited to find my stuff/has been looking for something like it because the entire reason I started making cc was because I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for

Rant: The early access model has kind of creatively bankrupted CC, actually.

#yeah #just. yeah #I started making my own cc because it was so hard to find anything outside the blandly perfect beige influencer aesthetic #and like. the shit I make is never going to be massively popular it's catering to an incredibly specific niche #but the people in that niche seem to be enjoying the hell out of it and I'm having fun making it #but there's a reason I refuse to call myself a Content Creator #I don't want to ever operate like that
