6 lightbreed horse models (3 mares and 3 stallions) and 4 Gypsy Vanner types (with and without Alpha on feathering mare and stallion models) All models use vanilla textures For better screenshots of the models using Slof's Textures, please see here http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/38412/? The texture paths on the nifs are the same as vanilla. IE. arabmare.nif is textures/actors/horse/horse01.dds, saddlelight.nif is textures/actors/horse/saddle.dds, etc. The meshes are remakes of the vanilla Bethesda horse. Use it as you wish; just give me credit. The textures aren't very good. Feel free to modify them as you need. The saddles are re-sized to fit the horses. The arab saddles only fit the arab type models. Shadowmere's eyes are mapped different from the vanilla horse. (Uses the darker eye seen on the texture files.) I've only added the glowing eyes to him/her. If you want to add the other controllers too, feel free to do so. Stallion parts are mapped to the upper left corner similar to Slof's textures.

Adds 5 new light breed horses to the Loreius Farm. The horse is a re-sculpture of the vanilla horse mesh and uses a modified saddle and skeleton.nif file. The horses are marked essential and are as fast as the regular horse. Use Swift Steeds move it for faster horse. (1.5x the speed of vanilla) Requirements: Skyrim 1.9.29.0.8 or higher Versions Swift Steeds.esp uses 2048 textures Swift Steeds lo res.esp uses 1024 textures Use one -- the two are not compatible Manual installation 1) Extract the contents of the ZIP folder into your Data folder. 2) Make sure the Swift Steeds.esp is checked in the Launcher. Un-installation 1) Delete the files/folders associated with the mod (Swift Steeds.esp in your data folder and the Swift Steeds folders found under meshes and textures in your Skyrim folder. (Default is path C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\Data) 2) Make sure Swift Steeds.esp is unchecked in the Launcher. Conflicts Not compatible with any horse armors. Known Issues Riding can look odd when viewed from the side. The skeleton doesn't fit the mesh as well as it could, so I'm hoping moving the bones will help. But until a new nifscript is released for Blender, there's no way to do this. (That I know of anyway.) I've also had issues with the horses dying even though they're marked essential if the esp is placed before Convenient Horses and Convenient horse herding. Just make sure it loads after those two mods or similar mods if you don't want them to die. Permissions All texture and mesh files are modder's resource. You don't need my permission to use them, just credit me for my work. Please do not upload the esp file to other sites. Credits Thanks to Bethesda for creating Skyrim and the Creation Kit.
