Many thanks! A much needed mod!!!

And here I thought it was just an issue with my graphics settings. Thanks for the fix I didn't know I needed!

I don't like the name of this mod cause it become more useful then name says. It fixes not only tails but whole skin glazing. But I don't know the right name for it anyways.
Oh wait. What did you made with braid tail? I see at your pic before/after you changed horse tail. Does that mean you had made it overiden? That could make sense actually cause this horse tail is too special. I'll never made any horse with this tail.
Regards Vic ^_^

@Victor_tor No I didn't overwrite it! Like I mentioned the braided tail is unfixable so I used it in the pictures to show how the "broken" horses look when equipped with the broken tails in comparison to the new overriden ones. All I did with the braided tail was to disable it for randomly generated horses so they won't spawn with it. You can still choose it in cas if you want.

I'm so glad you did ALL the tails (excpet the 2 as noted)! A version of this mod existed from the now defunct Equus site, but it was only 2 of the tails. Other versions of this 'fix' were not overrides! I'm so glad to have the whole set as overrides now!

Thank you very much, the one from Equus sims was quite a nuisance to find and didn't do all the tails. Very much appreciate this!!

Awesome! Now I don't have to dig around in the Equus cc graveyard anymore! XD

Oh yes, certainly someone with a little reason in this nonsense! Thanks!

The Horse tail fix download says its an override fix, does this need to go in the Override folder? I felt like I asked this before on another one of your mods. I might not understand what the Override folder does. I do know a very few mods require them to go in there. Thanks.

@Raven_2012 Usually the Overrides folder has higher priority than the Packages folder which means its contents are read first when you launch the game. To put it simply, this is usually used for mods that override other parts of other mods in the Packages folder (but not limited to that)

Most of my mods go to the Packages folder (unless I've specifically specified somewhere else in the description) but usually if any mod (mostly override mods) you have in the Packages folder doesn't appear in your game it's always a good idea to try and move it in your Overrides folder too as it may need that higher priority to appear in your game.

So to answer your question, even though this mod is an override mod in my tests it works fine when you put it in the Packages folder, which is why I haven't specified another location. If for some odd reason it doesn't work for you move it in the Overrides folder and test again (like I mentioned above) Hope this helps!

Thank you for explaining it. Makes sense.

This is amazing, had lost all hope that shiny horses could be fixed! Thank you so much.

Firstly, thanks for this mod! I still get horses spawned with shiny coats, though. I have to go into CAS to fix them. Is this override not supposed to fix random spawned horses too?

@sabal Are you sure those horses weren't already spawned in? From my tests all the newly generated horses function fine.

Wild horses that spawn in a brand new empty world have the shiny coats. I could still undersand if the horses in Appaloosa Plains are shiny because they don't get spawned randomly. I will go take some screenshots tomorrow.

4 wild horses in an empty world with just my Sim and 2 of his own horses:

1. green arrow: 1 fixed long tail on the light grey (working as expected, no shiny)
2. red arrow: 1 fixed long tail on the bay (same tail as on the grey, shiny!)
3. blue arrows: 2 different CC braided tails on the palomino and dark grey (no shiny)

It seems that it works intermittently? The same tail giving a reflective or non-reflective coat? Maybe it's the mane? The bay has an EA mane, the others have CC manes. I used NRaas Mastercontroller to check in CAP which tails and manes were assigned just to confirm that the light grey and the bay have the same tail.

And here's the foal that was just born to my Sim's 2 horses (so not a wild horse but still auto-generated).

I took the foal into CAP and changed the tail (medium foal tail to another one and then back again) and now the shiny is gone.

Thanks for this! Any chance we could get a tutorial so we can do this to CC tails or can I message you a link to a CC tail that has the shiny-ness in my game?
