Horse Driven Carriage

[Nutabreton]

I think horses and possibility to ride horses are great achievements in the game. While riding a horse I thought many times how nice it would be to have carriages/cabs driven by horses as well. A kind of a travel agency providing communication between towns could be built near entrances to towns combined with stables for example. So people would travel from town to town in real time.

I am currently studying modding tutorials hard, but i am not on the level yet to make it. Do you think it's possible?

Sorry if this has been asked before.

Not possible for pretty much the same reasons explained here: http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=34435&hl=

 

Basically, even if people make the models, there is no good way to attach them to a horse. A carriage would be even harder since they tend to be longer and more complicated. Making it as a single creature doesn't work since there are obvious tilting issues whenever a slope comes into play. Making it as an activator that follows a horse would have similar issues, and require tons more scripting. Even if it just followed roads, some of the roads are too steep to make anything like this look good.

Thanks for prompt reply. As far as I understand it could work properly if the roads are more or less flat and a carriage would follow only assigned routes. So, there is no much flexibility here.
