As I understand it, you can't install all the files at once? Because that's what i did, and some of them work, and some don't xD I'd like to use as many coats as possible. How can I do that?
Can you briefly explain to me which ones, for example, would not work together? For example: a_c_horse_appaloosa_blacksnowflake.ymt p_c_horse_01_h_merge_43+hi.ytd p_c_horse_01_h_merge_43.ytd
and could you also please tell me if I can simply not install the .ytd files? Can I install only the .ymt file? And can I freely change its name? For example, changing a_c_horse_andalusian_darkbay to a_c_horse_nokota_blueroan?
hey! pretty much you can’t have the same two .ytd because they will clash. the game will only load one, and ignore or mess up the other.
.ytd files are the horse’s textures files (+hi is the SAME file just in high res. you need BOTH for the mod to work). rockstar reused a lot of these, so some horses share .ytd files. that’s why random horses sometimes look broken when you didn't intend to mod them. it’s not broken; it’s just how they've coded things. .ymt files are the actual code for the horse; breed, mane, tail, colour options, all that. each .ymt links to a specific .ytd file. if i've modded a .ytd file, you need the .ytd file as well as the .ymt file for the horse to work. if you place the files in your stream folder and it asks you to replace existing files- they will cause a clash and break the coat.
tl;dr: there will just be some modded horses you cannot have together in your game at one time.
hope that clarifies a little, and yes, you can change the .ymt file name to a horse you prefer. it will not affect the coding :)

Hi there! Soo nice work! I was thinking about making some native paintings on horse models but never did sth like that to in game feature, do u have any advice?
native paintings are hard due to the limited colours you can work with. lots of trail and error. i could probably help with more specific questions but my best advice it to always just mess around, it's the best way to learn :)
