Is there a mod so that your horse dosent fast travel with you???

Is there a mod out there that makes it so your horse dosent fast travel everywhere with you.

 

I try not to fast travel whenever I dont have to, thus the result is that I am finding the commute from whiterun to riften a bit lengthy, so I sucked it up and after my first abysmaly sh*ty horse experiance months ago, I downloaded the better horses mod and bought a horse. Now with the mod, and my camera tweaks, the horse for riding is ok (downgraded from 1.6 on account of that it wouldent let my other mods work so im at 1.5 and cant hit things from horse back still, which sucks, but is fine for these purposes).

 

 

Now every time I DO have to fast travel, of which I do more than i would like, but sometimes its neccesary, I get this f*cking horse going with me everywhere, which is a real pain in the ass for which I dont have time for.

 

I dont have the cash to kill it and just buy a new one every time I reach my destination, but I think I might have to kill this one and go back to walking.

 

 

Is there a mod that disables this auto travel with you bullsh*t, cause that bethesda didnt include this in the first place, is allready unexeptable enough... I figure Im not the only one tired of that, so is there a mod for it?

I had the same problem you do some time ago. Because of this "feature" I never used a horse, but I wish I could have. I also searched and searched for a mod that would let you use a horse, park it at a stable and have it stay there until I needed it again. I never found one.

 

Then I came across the Conjure Ethereal Horse mod. This will let you summon an outstanding horse at will. When you dismount it vanishes. Great for a sneak player. Because of this mod I cut my fast traveling down considerably and find it quite fun to travel by horse often. Just dismount and it goes away.

 

I wanted to get Shadowmere for a horse but could not live with it following me places I did not want it to go. So this mod was the next best thing, and in fact I absolutely love this ability. Now I can't imagine playing without it. This summoned ethereal horse can really run too, it is very fast if you want it to be but it's speed is customizable. Good luck.

I uh, I stuck with the better horses mod for a touch, and I have to say its actualy pretty playable. Dosent excuse the fact that this should be an option...

 

I had some sh*t to do and still had the horse on me, and having the better horses mod so as to make the thing actualy usefull*. I actualy havent had much of a problem with the fast travel thing.... not like I thought I would.

 

The run feature from the better horses mod works like a charm, the moment sh*t goes down, the thing breaknecks for the hills.... faaaaaaaaar into the hills, and then you just hit the call button and a few secconds later it shows up, then hit the call again so as to cancel it from following you everywhere, and ride off.

 

Its been quite plesent surprisingly enough, and you get the benifit of being able to see the landscape in about a fourth the time it would take you to run somewhere, mabey even less.

 

The speed increase is the key, being able to outrun potential threats, thus keeping you from having to constantly dismount, and allowing you to only deal with the things on the road you want to kill (you know, assassins and such, cause, you know... priciples... honestly, sometimes I think bethesda lives in a vacume, insulated from logic... its like they add a feature then never test it to see if its retarded, or they just are so full of their own sh*t that they dont notice.... just look at the quality of the writing lol, or acting, or story for that matter... I mean wow, ive seen better storys in 4th grade creative writing assignments.)

 

I reccomend it for you man, thus far its realy made horses viable.

 

Dont know if it works with 1.6, I dont even want to try, ive had so much trouble dealing with that f*cking patch and mods. But it does have a trample feature, dont know if that was built in or not, but you can tweak it in the mod to turn it off, or just for enemies, or on for both enemies and npcs. In the end, what I do is run over anyone I want to bother killing (actualy, ill usualy run over anyone just because...) then get off the horse real quick and while they get up you have enough time to get some hits in usualy.

 

 

Anyhow, the horse runs fast and far as soon as trouble starts and calling it is pretty simple, just use it as a power, tap it to call the horse and make it follow you, and then if it is following you, tap it to make it stop.

 

Thus far its been better with than without, and again, you can allways kill it if you dont want to bother... but the ability to get places so much faster is worth it.

 

 

 

*(adjusted speed about 140 percent so it was fast enough to have a point and yet not so fast as to fly past the bonds of its animation)

 

 

 

 

Ill find some better pictures to illustrate the features for you.

hard to get this into a screenshot, so heres a video, sorry about the quality, spent over 3 hours trying to get it from premire into a usable format till i realized that you had to convert it to uncompressed (ie 20 gigs) and then recompress it, so the end result i didnt have time to taylor it for upload so the recompress on the upload kinda raped it....

 

I tried to get the colors as right as possible in premire but it cuts off at the end as I ran out of hardrive space (on the reconversion lol, not the actual capture).

 

 

Anyhow, this is a more extreme example, normaly i would just run over a good handfull of them, but in this case they kept grouping so I reeeealy wanted to run over ALL of them at once.
