About this mod
Cast a spell at any horse to claim it as your own. Created to resolve issues with mod-added horses, but you can also steal/claim any vanilla horse you find.

This mod adds a simple spell to your powers menu called "Claim Horse" that will allow you to claim any horse in the game. It does this by imitating the vanilla quest that runs when you purchase a horse.
When you buy a horse, the game runs these 5 lines of papyrus code:
For those who want an explanation of what each line does:
This mod will do steps 2 and 3 to any horse you cast the spell on. I skipped 1 for obvious reasons, and skipped 4 because that should be updated anyway as soon as you climb on the horse. I also skipped 5 since you can spam this spell on the same horse over and over again making the stat meaningless.
I made this mod to allow me to make certain mod-added horses compatible with Simplest Horses, but you can also use it to make yourself the owner of any horse in the game. You can roleplay claiming a horse you find in the wild, or cast it on a stolen horse once you've "gotten away with it". Or you can cheat and cast it on any owned horse to make it yours and get a free horse with no consequence. It's your game.
When you buy a horse, the game runs these 5 lines of papyrus code:
Game.GetPlayer().RemoveItem(Gold001, horsecost.value as int)
Alias_Horse.GetActorRef().SetFactionRank(PlayerHorseFaction, 1)
Alias_Horse.GetActorRef().SetFactionOwner(PlayerFaction)
PlayersHorse.ForceRefTo(Alias_Horse.GetActorRef())
game.IncrementStat( "Horses Owned" )
For those who want an explanation of what each line does:
- Deduct the cost of the horse from your inventory.
- Add the horse to the PlayerHorseFaction.
- Set the PlayerFaction as the owner.
- Set the horse as your current horse.
- Increase the "Horses Owned" stat.
