Horses are filthy and i'm not sure why

[imoily]

EDIT: Ok I figured it out, this post is now just for anyone who has the same issue and needs a fix.

It was the FusaFusa project, weirdly enough. It's a mod which makes animals have "shells" that give them fluffy looking fur. I still wanted to keep the mod so I went into the mod folder:

 

\textures\actors\ and \meshes\actors\ and deleted the horse folder from each of them. Doing this made the horses some weird blue color, so I then opened the Fusax2.esp in SSEEDIT and deleted all references to horses.

 

Delete all the highlighted references starting with "NakedHorse", then File and Save. Make sure your mod manager registers the change (might need to restart Vortex or disable then enable mod) or horses might still be blue.

most of the horses in my game are really dirty. I wouldn't mind but the dirty is weirdly low-res and doesn't vibe with the rest of the textures. I have the Dirt & Blood mod but it doesn't make any note of adding dirt to horse, just people.

I also have Convenient Horses but I'm pretty sure it doesn't do that.

I tried installing horse retextures in hopes it would overwrite the mod which is doing this, but no luck. The dirt is on top of the new textures, so it's not editing the base texture of the horse but something additional.

But yeah, they were just as dirty before & after the horse retextures (like Frost Reborn, HD Reworked Horses) so they aren't causing this.

 

any help would be very much appreciated!! thank you :-)

That's really weird cause I've never experienced that.

really? do you use FusaFusa? must be some kind of thing on my end then. I did more research and found someone on reddit who had the same problem as well as had FusaFusa, but sadly they never solved it and the post was archived.
