Heya everyone! This was a long time coming and one of those things that would be nice to have easy to grab for me instead of having to remake in different styles and such all the time haha. So I guess this is as much of a selfish upload as it is hopefully something for others to enjoy!

This mod adds a free balanced stat unicorn/horse mount right outside of the sewers exit, owned by you, to freely ride.

Features include the following:

Recall spell if lost. (Is given to you upon first mounting)
Marked as essential
Immune to magic, disease and poison to avoid strange permanent effects
Glow-in-the-dark horn tip
Reflective eyes
High quality textures
Customizable coat, eyes, horn, fangs and mane/tail in the installer. With pictures!
Horn and Fangs can be removed.
Many mesh options too! For body, mane, tail and more!
Unlimited saddlebag inventory system. Just face Klen and hit the "I" key. Requires OBSE.
No longer attacks player through accidental hits.

Can be bareback, saddled (default or DB) or armored (horse armor DLC required for those) or equipped with a blanket, choosing from 56 different patterns!
Armor is just cosmetic and doesn't affect stats or durability at all.

Decently balanced stats! Not super OP.
Speed is set to 30, which is 1 point faster than the white horse but 3 points less than the black horses (they're 33). I find this a good balance of speed to avoid falling off cliffs and crashing the game due to things needing to load too fast and too often.
Health is set to 500, 100 more than white horses.
Attack damage is set to 15, same as black horses.
Set to fight back when attacked but otherwise ignores combat.
Should level with you.

And now a quick Q&A of questions nobody actually asked but I'm guessing they might.

Q: Can I remove the horn/fangs?
A: Yes, the option is in the installer.

Q: Can I install this manually?
A: Yes, just copy the base data folder and then the options you want into your data folder.

Q: Klen isn't there!
A: Did you make sure the ESP was ticked in your load order? Sometimes it's not for me. Not sure why.

Q: Klen keeps wandering off!
A: He may wander a tiny bit, but he shouldn't go far. Use the recall spell.

Q: Can I use him in Shivering Isles?
A: Not sure, try the recall spell and see if he appears.

Q: Can he be a female?
A: Sure, I say 'he' cause it's easier but his model has no gender bits so he can be any gender you want to imagine.

Q: Why is his name Klen?
A: Named after a horse character I have.

Q: Why are all the pictures of the appaloosa texture?
A: Cause it's cool and my favorite of them.

Q: Can I mix and match options?
A: Yup! The installer is fully module, all options are capable with each other, barring some minor clipping. Nothing should crash your game or cause any major issues!

Q: Why are some of the textures... weird looking?
A: Probably cause they're edited by me and I'm not the best texture artist, but I did the best I could.

(Subject to be expanded on when I think of things)

Mod should be simply plug and play via Vortex, MO2 or whatever else you use. It has a FOMOD, which I set up the best I could. You may also install manually as the Q&A mentions. If you do this, I'll assume you know what you're doing.

I am open to color requests!
And feel free to post your screenshots of your Klen! I'd love to see the combos people like/go with.
