Update: added another version of the partial braided mane!
I finally converted two of my manes from TS3. Then recreated another mane plus two new tails.

Could anyone give feedback on the variations I've done?
This is probably too early to show this WIP but I'm having a harder time distinguishing the differences in Western saddles. They don't have stirrup leathers or girths yet since I don't want to get too far if I have to change the base s...

I added sheepskin to some of my leg protection that didn't already have it. The leg wraps look particularly good with it. By request, I also added a white swatch for some of my bell boots. This is a quick fix until I (or someone else) combine them with corresponding boots.
In thi...

Edit: added clarification about versions; the naming got confusing, I'm sorry.
Second version of jumping boots. I did a little more texture work on these. Not a lot, but still, some.

I'm really happy with how these came out! The textures do stretch but it looks much better in game than I was fearing. Works with all my browband shapes to fit snugly under the bridle.

I have a few miscellaneous updates.
1. New collections
I've created new collections for specific types of tack. I still have my all encompassing "Tack" collection, but I've also created:
This was a request I saw on TES Discord by GJ Farms and it was relatively quick to do. GJ Farms also provided the nice screenshots used in the preview. Additional thanks to Equestrianista and MorningStar for let...

I spruced up this saddle a bit (original here; not required), giving it the requested stabilizing strap and version with a breast collar.
I've also finally tested the fit with Jan...

Second part! I'll fully admit that I don't know if all these saddles realistically use this type of breast collar. But...you can decide. Sometimes I make things with options just because this is a game and I'm not stuck on realism.
Since I wasn't explicit last time, these are all pre-...

Update 2/12/2024: Fixed the thumbnails. Redownload if you downloaded before this date and you miss them.
I'm releasing this in two parts. Next part will be the rest of the saddles. None of these have 3D saddle pads. I suggest using 2024-02-08 14:47:24 +0000 UTC

I'm working on a v2 but I won't delay this one any longer. Both include combined, front only, and back only (tail base). Be aware that all my boots take up the same texture area (except for skid boots). Mix/matching will work for some, but not all.
In this post:
Just wanted to quickly say sorry about the delay for new content. I thought I had the jumping boots finished but I had messed up the textures so I have to redo those.
I also adopted two older kittens recently and they've been a handful. They're starting to get into a routine, tho...
Another month, another WIP post. As usual, I may complete things in a different order than listed. Just the things that are upcoming. Since I'm winding down my leg protection, breast collars will be my immediate next focus, but I may do some Western or bridle variations in between.
I think I've sat with these too long. They're giving me "all I can see are the flaws." Which is a great way to introduce CC. They look good. They're just a bit messy. But if it truly bothers me I'll redo them later on.
I'm only calling one file "skid" and the other "slide" to distingu...

Update 3/1: added a tail base slot version combined with horse shoes (curled ears)
I finally felt more confident about making ear tips for Indian breeds (Marwari, Kathiawari, etc). And maybe only ever foal CC from me?? That's a joke but also true. A thanks to Silokami for testing ...
There's no need for me to keep doing them. I don't like to do them. I like the 3D part of content making. Conversions are only about 10% the 3D part and I don't even like how they turn out most of the time.
I may use some as a base and manipulate or add my own meshes to make them more fit...
Okay so I didn't take a full break from leg protection. I did a conversion of two SSO meshes because it was relatively quick to do.
And then halters. Which are also SSO base mesh but I modified quite a bit because they were too chunky for me. Added my Sims 3 mesh of stud chain as well as so...

I wanted more two-tone options for the saddles. The saddles I chose to do were because they all have the exact same map. I'll transfer to the others maybe at some point. I didn't feel as great of need for two-tone dressage-type saddles as I did for jumping type (...endurance just uses the same ma...

I wanted more new meshes done by now but I don't have them. So I'll add the front and/or back only versions of my previous leg protection.

My screen recording app doesn't record the menu pop ups so what you don't see:
After clicking the Open button, I navigated to the image that is attached to this post. Opened that and Blender applied it to my viewport. Then I selected the map and resized it.
I really do love that more people are wanting to create content, however, I can't help everyone & I'm starting to repeat myself with those I have helped. So I threw this together. It is not a detailed explanation. I'm not great at those. It's a very rough visual of how to go from Blender to g...

Update: I messed up something on the non-lined version. If you downloaded right as it was posted, please re-download. It has been fixed now.
I was going to wait until more of the leg protection was done but I'm very proud of myself for these. It seems silly but for my 2d-mapping challenge...
This is a smaller download, apologies, but the last on my list to finish before moving on to new meshes.

Happy New Year! I actually got this one out before the end of the year.

Okay, the actual last release before Christmas. I don't really celebrate the holiday but my family does so I'll be gone with them next week.

I won't have access to a computer starting this weekend and onto next week (I use a desktop PC and I don't have a laptop; only my phone). I may get one more thing done before then but more likely releases will resume closer to the new year.
