Two more pieces of tack. I managed to make the collar work with most body shapes so I'm okay releasing it now. I thought I saw that someone had wanted an Australian saddle edit of the SSO saddle but I had misread. Oh well. Made it anyway.

There may be one or two more releases before but the holiday but this will be the last "big" one. I think I'm going to actually work on redoing my profile image/banner as I said I would. I really wish the hackamore would look good in every morph.

Update: I was pointed to a mod by JaneSimsten that changes the EA riding animation to side saddle found here. So...that means I will make an EA fit version >_< Will update again when that is done.
Didn't expect to make this but it seemed interesting to try. Some ref images I saw had an ex...
As mentioned, I'm going to be releasing some simpler items for rest of December. By simpler, I mean edits of previous CC because that means I don't really have to do much extra 2D work. Collars will come after I've rested that part of my brain more.
Here is my Figure 8 bridle with a fluffier sheepskin padding. I also added a full cheek & D-bit version for those not wanting eleva...

Next release is taking longer than anticipated and honestly I'm pretty exhausted with a busy work schedule, a kitchen renovation underway, and trying to get things sorted with the holiday week that's coming up way too soon. So I think I need to take a break for a little while.
I do finally have the neck collar meshes all working the best they will. These will not work with anything ...

A present to myself. I know it's not the most highly anticipated content but I need to outfit my favorite breeds, too.
In this post:
First of some highly requested bridles. When I rode horses (way too long ago now), I rode Hunter/Jumper...in the US. Thank you everyone for your help explaining the US/UK difference to me, particularly LostMelodies who gave me a lot of reference images. I hope these will round out the base RP need for the discipline.
In this post:
These do not have a 3D saddlepad version but they do come with stirrup versions (both standard and long stirrup versions). I will make versions that have a 3D pad but it will take me longer. I'm, uh, not sure when I will want to deal with 32 individual files at once again.
These are all edits of MinervaMagicka's SSO dressage saddle conversion. The exception is #8 which is a RS conversion ...

Hello~ I wanted to create a list of edits to my content to acknowledge these other amazing artists. I think it's wonderful to be able to share various skill levels and combine talents across artists.

Further edits to MM's SSO dressage saddle. The saddle part has the exact same map as the dressage saddle so any recolors that have been done for that are compatible. The girth part of the texture, however, will have to be adjusted.
-Two variations of jumper saddles
-One general purpose saddle
-One racing saddle (RS conversion with SSO texture edits)
-Maybe one ...
Here is the exciting thing! For me, anyway... Labeling this as pt1 because I'll probably make more variations. Named after the breed referenced. Use them on whoever you want. If another creator wants to resize them for foals, you have my permission.
Bridle versions of #4 & #5 to come soon (with a few minor variations to them).

Fixed for my leg boots! Also a version with no pad! There's no high/low poly for the version without a saddle pad because more than half of the polys were coming from the pad mesh. Not necessary without it.
Also changed the .psd for recoloring. See last image for easy delete if you've made some previously and want to make them compatible for these meshes. If you don't delete that li...

Since I can't seem to find time to do a detailed tutorial on how I make coats/markings, I thought I'd upload a useful coat I painted when I started out. Attached is the extracted 2D map and also the tray file if you want it for some reason (?? I don't know maybe you do). I use it as a guide to visualize where certain markings or blending will be once in game. It works as a nice guide in making ...

I'll get to bridle requests, promise. Wanted to cross off more things from my list, though. Didn't get these finished this weekend because my boss is pressing me on a deadline for work. I'll offer some are WIPs instead.

Second most requested regards in-hand/showing/UK hunter. I kept trying to make this into a poll but it wasn't feasible. So I'll just pose the question instead.
I'm American and our Hunters is strangely very different than UK Hunters. Needless to say, I don't have a lot of knowledge about the UK version. Hunt and in-hand probably don't overlap as much as my mind wants to insist they do so ...
2023-11-02 04:50:20 +0000 UTC View PostUpdate: so yeah I did not know hat/leg slot hides the forelock/leg feathers respectively. Scrapping the idea for 3D embellishments as a separate accessory. Likely, I'll do a combination of both 2D and 3D, ie I'll do some as 2D and also some with the 3D already built in. When those are ready, they’ll become Build-a-Bridle options. Thanks for the input!
I've gotten a lot...
Update: form should be fixed. Sorry about that.
Happy Halloween! It's my favorite holiday and I've prepared nothing. Way too much happened this year for me to be able to make any fantasy or costume thing on the side.
Instead, I present the bridle request form, aka "Build-a-Bridle."
Some important notes first:
Finally, we're at the end of the bridle meshes I had pre-prepared. I'm going to make a bridle request post as promised but give me some time because I have to get it all formatted in a way that makes sense and I'm pathologically bad at organization.
Expect November to be leg protection and Akhal-Teke tack. That's what I'm feeling as of now.

Update (11/4/2023): New slot options available. I don't run my game with other tack CC; I want to run it clean for testing. Thus, I had no idea using an accessory in the leg/head slot hides the corresponding hair. So, if you had disappearing tips, sorry about that. Added three more options: hat, horn, forelock
This is my imperfect solution to not having sliders y...

Since I have no idea when/if MorphMaker will be updated, I'm making my own tips for Indian breeds. It is not a slider! They're cut from the horse mesh so they take on the color and movement of the ears. Right now, I have them in leg feathers slot. I have to smooth it out and make the connection better so you don't get double ear tip showing through. Probably will have two or more options since ...
2023-10-24 03:24:30 +0000 UTC View PostSo, Patreon flagged it as containing nudity. I guess it doesn't like cremello horses...? I contacted them over it because that's my only guess as to why it got flagged. Can others still see it? The message it gives me is a little confusing. I suppose I'll re-post with different horses in the preview if I don't get word back.

AHHH! Can you believe this was originally supposed to be just two bridles, the first racing bridle and sales bridle? Yet, I was having fun.
Since Halloween is coming up soon, there are some special Halloween-theme color swatches included with the racing bridles. And yes, let's pretend the drop noseband bridle is bonus and not something I was going to release last week but didn't have it r...

Update 11/30/2023: If you are having a weird texture issue with the Figure 8 bridles, try having my "Bitless Flower Hackamore" in game as well. I can't figure out why this fixes it (S4S should have embedded anything I cloned) but it seems to.

This won't necessarily be a guarantee I'll make the request (mostly because I might be foc...

Not sure why I got fixated on the bitless bridles next but I did and they are ready. I'll move on to the other English type bridles.
I'm sure other creators have already made mane/tail edits but you can see a preview of one of mine in the last image. I needed something to do while I waited for Sims Studio to import the meshes/restarting the game to test and it's something I didn't have to m...
I'm going to finish up my bridles I had previously shown in a WIP post. As far as release, here is where it stands:

Western set (six bridles) -- deform maps largely okay but quite a bit of texture work needs to be done
