THANKS POST
#26 Old 18th Jan 2017 at 6:37 PM
I haven't tested this yet so I HOPE it will work for me, but nonetheless, THANK YOU SO MUCH for doing this. I've been wishing for this mod for ages! The majority of my gameplay is based on running a horse ranch so those horses just ripping away at their own will is unbelievable annoying. A big thanks! (I'm also thanking for the No More Startling Lightning mod, because I went crazy for horses to run off from their boxes when it was heavy raining!)

I also have... well, not a request but more like a spoken out wish, which is The Other Mod I have been hoping for a long time now and seen other equestrian simmers wishing for too... If by any chance at any time you are able to bring forth something that does kind of the same as the icarus_allsorts's Jogging Track Marker but for riders, it would be above awesomeness (then the dream of running a riding school would be much more realistic). What I mean by this is that you could set those invisible markers around the riding ring (because let's face it, those riding posts or whatever they were named are truly ugly and lack the variety of setting the speed of the horse) and assign more than just one horse and its rider on it to ride on their own around the route you've set up. And it would be great to be able to set the pace from walk to gallop during the ride (it could affect all the riders on the markers at the same time, that isn't a problem).

I don't even know how realistic something like that is to be actually made but I've set my hopes in the air that someone talented could turn it into a real thing :-)

Thank you for downloading the mod! I'll look into your request for sure. I'm a senior in high school so I've been a bit busy with graduation and credits, but I'll definitely see what I can do. (:

Hey, that's superb! I'm looking forward to it!

I also got another idea the last time I was playing TS3. One of my horses aged up to be an elder and when I had a rider on her, I noticed how nice and realistic the horse's elder walk looks like with their head down. I was wondering if it could be possible to script into adult horses too, like that they would then have four paces: slow walk (or whatever to call it), walk, trot and canter. Would make a nice touch to have a rider to warm up the horse first in long reins with this "elder" walk and then pick it up in normal walk before choosing trot or canter. It could also be more fitting walk style with western riding, I think. Just an idea, though!

Well, good-ish news. I haven't been working on that, but I HAVE been working on a new gallop animation that will replace the original EA one. It should be done by today.
