Technical info: Guars are now widely spread across Solstheim, mostly tamed and used as pack beasts or mounts by NPCs. Some Pony Guars are also kept as pets. In Skyrim, some Dunmer and Argonians also have Guars for the same functions. Wild guars can be found in Solstheim, though rarely. The mod adds some new NPCs, as the owners of some of these Guars. It is possible to steal some Guar mounts and use them in this stolen condition, however it is not possible to buy and/or have your own mount, or even pack guar, using this mod, as it is content for other mods in my portfolio. Saint Jiub now has the only White Guar (in ghostly form) added by the mod. The saint also had his appearance modified to be more similar to the character we saw in Tes 3: Morrowind.
Known issue: As with any other mods that adds creature mounts that are not users of the same horse animation set as the vanilla horses, for which all the vanilla mount mechanics were designed by Bethesda, the use of these mounts by the player or NPCs will sometimes produce bugs, such as for a brief moment the mounted character will appear standing on the creature, instead of properly seated. The mount and unmount animation is also problematic, not fitting perfectly to the new creature's form. It's a vanilla bug and nothing can be done about it.
Compatibility: As this mod modifies Jiub's appearance, it causes incompatibility with any other mod that does this as well, with the mod placed lower in the load order being the modification that will prevail in Jiub. This is irrelevant, so you just need to choose which Jiub modification you prefer to keep, and put that mod below any other mod that also changes that NPC.
The first time I saw the Redoran ride the guar down the street in RR just made me stop and take a bunch of screens. I'm still playing Morrowind and this is just great for adding my favorite poop machines to Skyrim. With this, the nix hounds roaming, and the kaghouti rampaging, my Solsteim feels a whole lot more Morrowind.
Hands down one of the best guar mods, the animations fit perfectly the model is pretty and it has variety, just wish you could actually purchase one as a pet or a mount instead of having to steal one, will wait for that Guar farm mod you have planned, thank you very much!!
Hey, you can use merge plugins (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/69905) to combine his mods quite easily. I am rubbish at modding and I figure it out so give it a try!
This mod is incredible. Animation work is top notch. For anybody who wants to have these as followers I ended up using the EFF recruit feature on a Guar that I made a copy of with the player.placeatme command. Worked a treat!
Mihail is this creature a mount that can be ridden by players? and if so where can I find a place to purchase one and or find one to ride? and yknow... if I can't ride this mount will you end up making a ridable guar mod in the future? I know I don't comment much on anything nexus related but you are by far my favorite modder! you've brought so much life to my games world and a response would mean so much! thank you I hope you're doing well!
thanks for your kind words dear friend, in this mod there is no one to purchase as mount because im working in a guard breeding farm mod when you will be able to buy mounts and pack guar followers, but for now you can steal one
