The new update introduces a new Arvak mesh replacer which uses the assets from the Arvak Replace mod with permission from chucacu. Please note that if you use this option you will only need one of the main files without a saddle because Arvak Replace comes with one that's already merged with the horse.
did some testing and it unfortunatly does not work with the burning hooves, at least not if you want to keep the additional stuff like water walking or cloak spells. Might work if you pick the vanilla option where you don’t get any of the bonuses.
Just open up SSEEdit > Right click in the module selection and press select none > Then check Better Arvak.esp and EVE - Arvak Burning Hooves Restored.esp and press ok to load > After loading expand Better Arvak.esp and in "Non-Player Character (Actor)" right click on DLC1EncHorseBone and select "copy as override into..." select the third <newfile>.esp (the one labeled as an esl) press ok then name it something like Better Arvak - Burning Hooves Patch > Now select the DLC1EncHorseBone in the newly created patch.esp and in the view menu on the right side drag the "Actor Effects (sorted)" from Under EVE - Arvak Burning Hooves.esp to under the new Patch.esp > Now just close SSEEdit and make sure the new patch.esp is selected in the save changed files menu and press ok.
The new esp should be in your Overwrite folder (for MO2) just create an empty mod and drag it in the folder then make sure its checked in your plugins list. Arvak should now have the burning hooves while retaining the stats/effects from Better Arvak.
(You could also just edit the DLC1EncHorseBone in Better Arvak.esp in the same way instead of creating a new esp if you wanted.)
Hi, could you do a stats only version, without change mesh or textures? It seems some conflict with other mods that changes mesh and textures no matter load order list.
Or do some patch to work together with burning hooves restored that is great.
hey, so for some reason the mod won't work for me, at all. the only guess as to why could be that i cheat gave myself the spell to summon Arvak. do you think that'd be the cause?
been a long while, sorry mate, i can't remember. knowing my track-record tho, it probably just spontaneously worked. if not, try reinstalling it i guess.

You can also find Better Arvak on the Skyrim Nexus. I've also released three Xbox One versions of the mod: Better Arvak [XB1], Better Arvak (Skeletal) [XB1] and Better Arvak (Armored) [XB1]. Feel free to check out my other mods and please don't forget to endorse the mods if you like them.
