Horse Problem

Recommended Posts

I just started being unable to mount horses, or indeed interact with them.

 

When I buy one, it just trots to the stable and refuses to move, and I can't mount it. Same goes for Shadowmere/modded horses, they just trot back to wherever they spawned and stay there.

 

Also, whenever I come across a dead horse, or whenever I kill a horse, I can't search it. I hit E and nothing happens.

 

I don't think its a mod thing, I've turned all mods off, and still had the problem.

 

Anyone know of a fix?

It sounds to me like one of those left a script somewhere that disabling didn't change. Did you do a complete uninstall according to the mod author's directions?

 

I think it might be possible that re-installing a different horse mod might overwrite the file in question. I use better horses, and it works extremely well for me. (I had issues with Horses for followers, too.)

 

I know that doesn't seem like the most elegant solution, maybe someone has a better idea?

I'll install better horses, if that doesn't work, then I'll either simply not use horses or ditch the character. I'm really finished with him, everything now is just fluffing.

 

After a total reinstall of the game, along with mods which I know don't touch horses in any major way, I still get the issue. I guess horses just don't like me anymore!

I'm not confident that total reinstalls really revert back to a clean game. I tried that and even though I scrupulously followed all the instructions (remove local files, registry cleaner, the whole shebang) when I reinstalled, I still had some artifacts when I tried that.

 

Bettter Horses didn't help? Just trying to keep track of what works and what doesn't.

 

After a little more thought, It struck me the somehow the player horse faction has been removed. I think you could go through the CK or use console commands and put it back, but I honestly do not know much about the horses. However, the authors of the horse mods you had before might be able to give you some suggestions.

I just tried stealing a horse from Whiterun, and was able to do so, I mounted it and was able to ride around with no issues. When buying a horse, I could ride around too.

 

This tells me that it's that individual horse causing the problem, it being Argos from the mod "The Reserve". I tried adding it to the player horse faction, and nothing changed.

 

Still, progress.

Better Horses causes horses to be unmountable, not fix it, I can pretty much confirm it.

I installed Better Horses with no other horse mods installed, not even the horse armor, and it didn't work right out of the box. Then I used BOSS and still didn't work.

Best to not install any overhauls like this until more mods come out and mods become more stable. The only mods that are safe right now are texture changes or armor mods pretty much.
