Pimp My Horsey - Browse Installed Coats and Customize Your Horse Live

Edit horse YMT settings in-game, browse your installed custom horse coats, combine your favorite features, and save the result as a persistent horse preset. No more choosing only one replacement per YMT file.

[size=6][b][u][url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/1472]Script Hook V2[/url] is mandatory, using the version from [url=dev-c.com]dev-c.com [/url]will cause a fatal error when spawning.[/u][/b][/size]

Found a coat you like but prefer the mane, tail, eyes, colors, or feathers from another horse? Easily make those changes now. No more compromising because two presets replace the same horse. [b]You can keep the installed options available and build the exact horse you want. [/b]
Instead of installing one horse replacement, launching the game, checking it, quitting, and repeating the process for every option, the trainer can scan your installed LML horse mods and let you browse compatible custom horses directly in-game.

This trainer is meant to be used alongside my other mod : [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/9618]Tack Trainer - Vanilla Gang and MP - Live Edit Controller Support[/url].

[b][size=4]Saving horses[/size][/b]
Open [b]Saved Horses[/b] and choose [b]Save Current Horse[/b].
Saved presets are stored under:
[code]Red Dead Redemption 2\Sauvy_ASI\PimpMyHorse\Saved Horses[/code]You can reload them later from the trainer. An optional toggle reapplies the last detected preset after the game refreshes the horse.

[b][size=4]Persistent YMT export[/size][/b]
Live changes normally last only for the current game session.
To keep a customized horse after restarting the game, export it through the trainer. Pimp My Horse creates or updates:
[code]Red Dead Redemption 2\lml\Sauvy\Sauvy - Pimp my Horse YMT[/code]The folder contains:
[code]install.xml
a_c_horse_<horse model>.ymt[/code]The exported file keeps the original horse model filename so LML can replace the correct game asset.

[size=4][b]Customization categories[/b][/size]
[spoiler][b]Genetics[/b]
Customize the horse’s primary physical appearance:
▫️ Coat preset
▫️ Head and body texture pair
▫️ Base coat color
▫️ Eye color
▫️ Compatible installed YMT presets
The trainer treats the head and body as one complete coat. Although RDR2 stores them as separate components internally, changing only one produces an obvious seam, so supported coat changes always apply the matching head and body pair together.

[b]Hair and Hooves[/b]
Customize:
▫️ Mane and Tail style/color
▫️ Feather color
▫️ Bare hooves/Horseshoes
Some mane and tail styles require specific texture patterns. The trainer applies supported combinations rather than presenting clearly incompatible options.[/spoiler]

[b][size=4]Installed Horse Library[/size][/b]
Pimp My Horse can scan your
[code]lml[/code]folder for readable horse YMT files matching:
[code]a_c_horse_*.ymt[/code]Compatible files are added to the Installed Horse Library and identified using their mod-folder location and the vanilla horse they replace.
For example:
[code]Beautiful Horses — Arabian Option 04
Replaces: Arabian White[/code]This makes large horse packs much easier to browse.

[b][size=4]Credits[/size][/b]
Highest praise to [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/wintersnow88]WinterSnow88 [/url]for the exceptionally detailed [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/1660]horse YMT editing guide and horse component research[/url] and to [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/MelanieDBranth]MelanieDBranth[/url] for [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/2859]Realistic Horse Eyes[/url], the additional customization possibilities, and the clear, easy-to-follow documentation.
I hope this trainer feels like a fitting tribute to the work and research that helped make this level of horse customization possible.
