I like horses. A lot.

Sometimes at sunset I just ride facing the sun

not hurrying, just walking the horse... Peace... Tranquillity...

I like Slof's old horses and Slof's new horses... funny, resilient, essential NPC all of them, except Corepc's new application of them within Mart's Monster Mod. And beautiful...

I rarely steal horses... not that I can't just... doesn't feel right...

There aren't many sights sadder than a dead horse or a horse staying next to their slain riders...
Tried to resurrect - usually they stay down on the ground...

AlienSlof is IMHO the undisputed queen of equestrian art in Cyrodiil. Her horses change Cyrodiil as much as any mod you can think of! I don't play without her horses.

Mods You Requested:

Some guys want immersive horse feeding mod. Who can teach the horses of cyrodiil to eat, drink, get fatigued?
I say: give me Sentient Mount! Give me a horse as talkative as Donkey from Shrek! Who can do this? Sentient Weapon, Malevolent and Sentient Mount! Anyone?
Aztec11us asked: Can a mod be made so that I can walk/run while leading my horse by the reins? (06 October 2008).
Requested by TirateLord on 12. 01.2009 : If anyone can adjust the poor horse control system then I would like horses. They are great in WoW using the same controls as moving the player.

WIPs to watch for:

http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=776175&hl= is definitely a WIP to follow closely!
This beauty is abandoned at the moment as the scripter of the team retired. Can you help this babe to be born successfully? This mod needs you!
http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=647577 is another WIP - for horse combat, closely related to the jousting mod to watch!
http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=879893 is an interesting and ambitious project... do horses possess skills? Do horses possess souls? Good luck, Reznod!
http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=922290 by InsanitySorrow is a new project with interesting ideas.
http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=968995&hl= will bring some exciting new horses - warhorses!

I want to ride:
Binky from Diskworld ... promised by Alienslof! Watch out for a horse more real than reality, folks!
Pegasus from Ancient Greece Myths & Legends ... done ages ago by The Bloke! We can fly!
Bucephalus - the black Stallion of Alexander The Great ... done by Lord Nincompoop as part of his Legendary Horses( see link to the mod above)
Rocinante - the skinny horse of Don Quixote
Donkey from Shrek (with voice) I think it is a good idea for Sentient Mount Mod, like Sentient weapon and Sentient Armor (Malevolent).
Byzantine chariot (quadrupe pulled by 4 horses) weell, AlienSlof said something about harness to go along her Shire Horses (WIP)
Mustang (lasso it from the herd, tame, ride!)
Yak
Pterodactyl
Nasgul (from LOTR)
Ostrich
Lama
Sandworm (Dune)
Camel
Zebra ... almost done by AlienSlof! .. probably not to be but zebra mod available - links above.





I want to pay my respect to Alien Slof who in March 2009 announced she will not be modding for the community anymore due to health problems and undeserved criticism and verbal vandalism.

Fortunately in May 2009 she re-released all her mod as a real and generous artist which she undoubtedly is.

Thank you, AlienSlof! We love you. Well, I definitely do!

1: Yes, the links for Alien Slof's mods are temporary (let's hope) not working. Probably in the future when/if she reconsiders and activates them the links will be useful once more.

2: 07 April 2009: We have been promised Sentient Steed by InsanitySorrow, guys! godspeed, IS! The riders of Cyrodiil are lurking behind your stable!

Found while riding around:
http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=875593 by Master L@zarus... just great!
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14724 - great mod next to your door, literally! Gimme more of those, MadGizmo!

This thread is worth it just for these "lap 2" and "bookmaker" puns.

The links to Slof's Horse mods no longer work.

I am up for it , I am currently working on a Sentient Weapon for The Underdark, so I could re-use and improve the scripting and apply to a horse

Also:

Horse Armor Expanded, is now C.H.E (Custom Horse Armor 4 Everyone), and now has the aid of JDFan

Some updates for you.

Unfortunately Alien Slof withdrew her mods from public access one month ago, alas, I will not remove the links in hope that she might reconsider and allow us to use the fruit of her superb artistic skills.

Uh huh

They really do add a lot to the horses, it's a sad day to see them de-marbelized, but whattaya gonna do.

Oh, IS, if only you could do it for us! An impertinent, unbearable wiseguy of a horse for companion!
And could you tell me how far has progressed C.H.E? Any ETA?

I could do it , the idea would need discussed etc, so I can get a firm idea of what is wanted, not just speech but possible abilities etc.

Edit: Shoot me, I put way to much thought into these things , I came up with some very basic idea outlines

Travel
--> Follow
--> Wait
Personal:
-->Head Home
-->Set Home Location
-->Stats (Based on Leveling, below)

Leveling:

Horses stats raise as the player raises level, so each of the horses stats will be set to the equivalant skill the player has, so Horses Strength would equal Players Strength, possibly with adding points depending on how the horse is set, possibly Fast or Strong (something similar)



Development of C.H.E stalled for a while, due to me being busy with larger projects (Like Vv), I now have the aid of JDFan, so we should be able to make some definitive progress soon. I can't wait to see this getting to a stage where we can have people testing to make sure things are all good.

No E.T.A at the moment, as soon as I have one, I will post it here first

Nice list, I probably pilfer it for mods on my next install. :twirl:

Also, I came across something that may be of interest to people who did not get the chance to download Slof's Horses. Ceano used Slof's textures to make an esp-less horse replacer. Since she did not take back any permissions given, Ceano's mod is still available. Hmm... thinking about this, even if you did DL Slof's Horses, Ceano's could still replace horses added by other mods that use vanilla textures/meshes. Hope this helps you folks out.

http://www.ringen.net/~ajs/oblivion/download.html, its on the upper right of the page.

Hi, Phaedra and thanks for the link.
I read the readme but it doesn't mention which version of Slof's horses are used there. can you or someone else find out for us?
Thanks.

It uses an earlier version. Ceano's uses default models with Slof's textures. The texture files are dated March and April of 2006. Slof's included better models, I'm not sure if she changed the textures for her later releases. I would look at the timestamp on the textures in her latest release, but I'm at work right now with no access to my mods. (I was able to download Ceano's.)

Looks to me like it might be using textures from v. 1.3 (latest release was 2.0), but it doesn't matter--they're still a whale of a lot better than vanilla.

More good news for horse-lovers! "Waalx Animals and Creatures" mod will have some great looking horses with new saddles and all!
http://waalx.com/Downloads/WAChorses01.jpg

Nice stuff there. I'm getting me a zebra! :lmao:

Bookmarking Though I won't comment upon my relationship with horses here ... I'm bound to cause "foe"

Absolutely delightful! Very gorgeous horses although the one I am waiting with thrill is the Reclaiming of Sancre Tor... because of the heavy horses with it!

No foes, only stable boys around, hauling the manure...

What a lovely threat!

As I looked through the list for a newer version of HAR, I noticed that there was a newer version of Slof's Horse Base(where I only have 1.4).
I don't think there's a downloadable version of that one left, is there?

The horse combat mod, does it support the features for NPC as well?

And, speaking of newer versions, Blade of Mercy, the link in your sig is outdated.

Does the Mount & Blade controls in Mounted Combat work for anyone? I assume they do since it's a highly rated mod, but I've tried a couple times now to get it to work and nothing.

Holding W makes the horse walk like normal, which isn't what the mod is supposed to do. Pressing shift to gallop makes the horse stop and neigh or whinny or whatever it is a horse does. It's quite the bummer since the anolog speed control on the 360 version is far superior to the all or nothing speeds on PC.

Also, the Horse Speed Equals Player Speed doesn't work for me either. After riding for awhile the horse just starts gliding around and if I dismount so does my character. If these mods work for others it must be me doing something wrong, but I don't know what it might be.

It does that for me, too. Flick the run switch (caps lock for me), and it works fine.

That's for Mounted Combat I assume? I'll give it a try when I get home. Thanks!

dont u think that u should remove slofs mods? as they are not up anymore.

They are still, however, some of the best horse mods in existence. Vanilla horses just don't do me

vanilla horses, luckily, don't do me either, it would be unbeleivably painful I imagine.

That said they should be up here if only for completenesses sake, and most people that love horses do have a copy saved to HD, or at least most sensible people.

Thanks for pointing the outdated signature! My bad, now it brings you to the second lap

There isn't official link to the last versions of Slof's horses currently. However, my impressions are that she is a forgiving and generous lady and this might (hopefully) change.

The horse combat mod did not support NPC performing what it used to allow PC to do. Anyway, it was feature of Deadly Reflex 4.03.
Nowadays Skycaptain came up with DR 5.0 which, unfortunately does not feature Horse Combat yet due to Skycaptain having things to to in real life and in modding.
I have no doubt that one of these days there will be a long expected release and we'll ride and fight again.


Mounted Combat: You are supposed to just press W and your horse starts slow gallop. The longer you press W, the faster your horse will be. Works for me. You cannot use blade to fight on horseback though.
Horse Speed Equals Player Speed can really do peculiar things to riders and their mounts I think it is still in process of improving and hope it will soon get over this flaw you mentioned .

No, I don't think so. I love her and her mods and I still have hope that one fine day these links will be alive again.
