An apron?? Doesn't Applebloom do any house work? lol

Anyway, just to let everyone know, I saw the episode. I'm not a big fan of how it turned out. It was too rushed, for one thing, and there were too many songs. To answer a question I'm sure y'all have, there are no plans to make an alicorn version of Twilight Sparkle at this time, and no permission will be given to anyone to make and release such mod. I can't stop you from making one of your own, but there will be no releases. If we ever do make a Princess Pony Pack, there are no plans to include "Princess Twilight Sparkle" at this time.

Some of you may be displeased about this. I'm sorry, but really these companions are mainly for the enjoyment of me and my modding partner. We choose to share these mods, because we believe it is a good contribution to both the modding community and the brony community.

We may change our minds depending on how things play out in the show. But aside from my personal distaste of the episode's event, it's also a companion confusion issue. If we do add her to the princess pack, that means there are potentially two Twilights in the game. Plus adding her to that while making a Mane 6 version without her to keep the NPC balance would also be bad symbolism; like she's abandoning her friends.

I may or may not add optional wings to this mod for Twilight, but that all depends on how things play out in the show. Again, that's our discretion as modders, artists, and fans.

I only ask that you don't hate us for this decision. More pony packs will be made. I'm sort of in the process of making the background ponies independent, and then it's on to the next new pack that will feature The Great and Powerful Trixie. There are also more packs after that lined up. You can practically make your own little Ponyville(ruins of Ponyville mod not being referenced...) with how many companions there will end up being.

Anyway, that's my rant/update. I need to get something to eat. Wonder if Derpy's willing to share some muffins...

Hello, I got this mod working and its great, though im not sure if anyone pointed this glitch out that their tails seem to be clipping through wall in interior areas and most of the time outside their tails will be missing. Its an awesome mod, it just gets kinda annoying to see their tails get stuck to a chandelier or a rocky outcrop.

What on earth was the point in making the comment I made up for review by a mod? I never said anything negative in it, nor did I say I was going to release any of what I'm doing.

Do you have a grudge against me or something? I've done you no wrong.

@MasterProgrammer:

I apologize for the misunderstanding. The review request has been removed.

@nsiwko:

I have no idea what could be causing that.

I know exactly what is causing that. The skeleton they are using lacks the tail bones.

[griffinrider]

That does make sense, but since the DMRA version needs the maximum compatibility skeleton anyway for the BBB, shouldn't they already have the appropriate skeleton, unless they're using the HGEC version.

[Nephenee13]

Its possible there is a BBB compatible skeleton that doesn't have the tail bones. Honestly I don't know why Bethesda bothered to make the beast skeleton different, the tails are the only difference, would have saved everyone a lot of hassle.

Anyway, you can fix this in a future update by setting the ponies to use SkeletonBeast.nif instead of Skeleton.nif. That will make sure it works right for everyone.
