SSE Horses in Skyrim

[undedavenger]

Hi all. I would like to make myself a mod adding more horses to the game, since there is a disturbing lack of them. I'm not talking anything super-fancy, but just named vanilla horses in various places. For example, a farm should have a horse or two. I would like to add horses to a farm and mark them as owned by the farmer, so stealing one would produce the same reaction as stealing an item from the farmer's home. Maybe even trigger them to hire thugs or whatever. I am not quite sure how to set this up or if it is possible. Maybe have a few spawn alongside bandit groups in camps or in civil war camps. maybe a few inside cities for just some flavor.

Not looking for having the NPCs ride them or anything complicated like that. just something to add some flavor to the game, and make it more immersive, as if you need a horse in a pinch you can steal one, or maybe even buy one (for an appropriately gouged price) from a local.

Any tips on this?

hi im not 100% sure on this and Im not currently able to check my ck to check this, But I believe I may be able to help with your issue.

 

place the horse you wish to place.

In the rendor window click on the horse

This should bring the usual dialogue box up.

Navigate to ownership

The decide if its an NPC you wish to set as the owner or a faction.

Say its an NPC click the npc section under ownership then search out for the NPC you wish to make the owner.

Say its a faction do the same but under the faction heading and find the faction you want.

 

 

For a farm id recommend finding out the farmers name and setting the horse as being owned by that farmer the way I just said.

If the horse is being placed at a bandit camp or a civil war camp id recommend setting it to the faction.

 

 

Edit: you could also place some horses in skyrim where ever you want and set them as being owned by the player or by a faction that the player is able to join, such as the dark brotherhood sanctuary. That way the player can use them without comminting a crime or even if you set it as being owned by the companions or something so they player can use the horse and not commit a crime as long as they belong to that faction.

 

 

Most items can be set to being owned by the player and NPC or Faction by using the method I just described.

 

Happy modding
