It's now a pmp cause why not lol

=========

So I wasn't quite satisfied with how clunky the Ixion model is in my previous mod so I basically did the same thing, but with the SqEnix-certified Horse™.

=FEATURES=
Once again, this mod comes with a set of custom bones for every race and gender, ending in _centaur, and replaces the Elk-series Slops with the ARR trial horses, which are posable by said custom bones. Not animated, meant for gpose. Legs automatically hide tail and feet.

You can choose between 10 different colors (all ARR trial horses excluding Kirin, Unicorn, Nightmare, Incitatus, and a brown color), no glowy hoof effects included though. I would highly suggest using Penumbra for this.

I don't have any preview pictures this time because I'm lazy, but trust me when I say that I put in some extra effort to make the person-body to horse-body transition a bit smoother than a hard seam. It's not great, but it's better than nothing imo.

HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended with Ktisis! Can also use with Anamnesis, and I have no clue how it works with CMT.

=OTHER THOUGHTS=
I once again apologize for any jank. Once again, no Discord or anything to promote for that matter (except maybe my other mod for an Ixion centaur: https://www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/99243), but if you have any bugs to report (or cool gposes you take with the mod 👀) my Discord username is .ricefire (PS. I made a Twitter and Bluesky account; https://twitter.com/friedricefire and https://bsky.app/profile/ricefire.bsky.social, respectively. I will be searching for your gposes and I will be liking them.)

Also, this time I managed to make it an Advanced Modpack! What I did? Nothing! It just started working for no reason. That's software, folks.

In terms of permissions, literally do whatever the hell you want with it, I don't care, as long as you provide proper crediting or something. No NSFW Lalafell stuff, you get the deal.

Anyways, that's it from me. Ride on 🐎

Update: holy shit, that's a lotta downloads! I'm glad you all are enjoying the mod!

I was gonna do this eventually but I might as well do it now: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14g-kdlSpN9i2QZx3OLpspW7UF5GzVm1n/view?usp=sharing

Here's a Google Drive link to the pose I made for the preview image; the arms are a bit wack, and it's really only tested for Female Midlanders.
