SSE Horse controls

[Thingamajig]

Static, jarring, rigid, awkward.

A few words for me that sum up skyrim horses, specifically their controls and animations.

Would love their controls to be overhauled so they behave like The Witcher 3 Roach, or say, Zelda: Breathe of the wild.

So press a button to initiate a walk (rather than holding an analogue stick), then press it again to trot, again to run, again to sprint.

Holding back on the analogue stick to pull them hard to stop.


The downside of this is ideally, you want the horses to be able to navigate the environment autopilot style -- like Witcher/Zelda games do. At the very least automatically follow footpaths.

Combine this change with "Horse riding hazards" mod and "Immersive horses" and you've got a gigantic improvement over vanilla.
