Does not affect horses at all. I assume Shadowmere counts as a horse, right? He still attacks and takes damage when he falls. But I shouldn't be surprised, I have 150 mods installed

@TheAwsomeScales180 Probably not. Any mod that changes the way horses work will probably conflict with this.

no i ment ur better horses hearth fire version

@TheAwsomeScales180 If it works at all, yes, it would work with Hearthfire.

will it work with the hearthfire version too

I would like the option to turn off invulnerability for my horse.

With that said, I guess it should be mentioned that this mod doesn't work in conjunction with any other mod that alters horses in any way besides the skin.

My horse does not run away from combat unfortunatly, but it looks cool with the armor and the unlimited stamina helps so you can still enjoy the scenery while riding your horse instead of just quick traveling everywhere cause your horse is slow

This mod works for me, it might be another mod that you guys are useing that does not support this one

Okay

there are working mods out there that do the same thing and more, Degre should update the Description of this mod to let others know this isen't supported

Billgoatman, as your name would imply, you are a retard. This effects horses and horses onlyu. No way to corrupt your save file forever. That said, the mod does NOT work. As I have posted repeatedly, this mod is no longer supported. If I go update it, I will let everyone know.

DO NOT Install or use this mod. 1 - it does nothing. 2 - it will permanentally corrupt your game save, I cannot use my character anymore thanks to this mod. Thanks for destroying my game douche.

Of course the one mod I actually need really badly doesn't work. Is there someway I could just make my horse Essential, via cheats or something? That's all I really need

this mod has been doing nothing of what it says it does...i think it's dead

It's not invincible. My horse just died. Can someone take over this mod?

important question: does this make arvak invincible

Does this work with horses that are modded into the game?

To be honest, I'm not really maintaining this anymore. I haven't played in about 6 months. If anyone wants to take it over, I can give them rights.

Could I have a version of the mod where the horse isn't essential/invulnerable? I still want my horse to lose stanima and I want to be able to kill it if I want a new horse.

Help D: when I buy a horse, I can do it but when I leave it in riverwood it dissapears! Plz help

Great mod

Hmm I hate buying horses after every adventure I go on thanks :D

Ok I think I have something for you and the possible reason why your mod doesn't work for me. Using setessential 1 while having my horse selected gives "Invalid actor base '1' for perameter Actor Base"

If I type in setessential <insert horseID> I get the same thing with the hose ID instead if '1'
If I type in setessential <insert horseID> 1 I get "Missing parameter Actor Base"

Non of the mods I have ever installed affect horses. :( Ohh well I will use the setessential command. Thanx for looking into it. BTW will it save the setting on the horse or will I have to keep setting it each time I play the game?

@۞_۞ PedoDog: I looked into this after your first post, despite common conception, mods can effect your game after being removed. I wasn't sure until I read your comment about the missing saddle. There is no way my mod would change the appearance of the horse so you must have (or have had) a mod that changed a script, which stayed changed after you removed it. My suggestion is just to use the console (instructions below), click on the horse, and type 'setessential 1' That will make him immortal. Sorry I don't know of a console command to effect courage, though.

Ok I did as you asked and he died in 3 hits. I recycled him and he blinked out and re-appeared with no saddle. I then fast traveled to the same location and he still had no saddle and died easily. What else can I try or what other information can I give. Using Win 7 ultimate x64.

That's weird. I know that 'back-when' this mod didn't work on horses already owned (unless you recycled the horse via console) because stats were set at spawn. I was told that this was fixed by 1.5 and it worked in my game without having to recycle. That said you already lost one so that could still be the case in your game for some reason. The horses do attack for a moment before running. That's because the basic combat script takes priority over the 'courage' logic (although, I could just turn off combat entirely for them, considering it). I guess one test is to save then make sure the mod is on, open console (using the ` key, left of the 1 key), click on the horse so that a collection of numbers and letters appear in the center of the screen and type recycleactor then press enter. He should disappear if you did it right. Quick travel anywhere (even to where you already are) and he will reappear. Then attack your horse and see if you can kill it. If you can, then let me know.

I am using a horse I bought from the whiterun stables. I lost one that I previously had while still using your mod and then bought another one... this one is still just as brave and I have to save the damn thing all the time. Im fairly sure its installed properly because the steam workshop installed it for me. Everything else I have subscribed to through it has installed properly. I have also taken the liberty of disabling all the other mods and trying yours by itself and there was no change.

@۞_۞ PedoDog If you are sure you installed it correctly, then what horse are you using?

It seems to do nothing for me. My horses are still to brave and die in a few hits from enemies. :(
Steam-Skyrim + hearthfires(download via steam)

@Degrelecence, fair enough I believe you did not try and rip off the original "Better Horses". Which mod is better or more lore friendly is of course a matter of opinion eveyrone is entitled too. I am very happy with the original and need not try another mod as that one does everything I was looking for, not sure what you mean by not enough options as it offers lots.
I realize you can't change the name now and it is too bad there is not a feature that prevents duplicate titles; they do that for user names after all. Meanwhile we modders have to do our own research before publishing. Good luck.

@Axelion I've seen the other mod and clearly I am not ripping it off as mine is nothing like that one. In my opinion the other mod does too much with no options. I don't want to break the game, I want to make my horses... Better. More Balanced. The name can't actually be changed (or at least the file name can't be changed now) without creating an entirely new mod. It's unfortunate that they allow duplicate names, but I think my description is clear enough that no one should be confused.

There is already a mod out by the same title that does much more and has been around nearly from the begining of the workshop. I do not know why Steam allows duplicate titles, but I think you should rename yours to be clear that you are not attempting to rip off someone elses long established mod. People who are looking for the original could mistake yours for that.
