Update: added another version of the partial braided mane!
I finally converted two of my manes from TS3. Then recreated another mane plus two new tails.

Could anyone give feedback on the variations I've done?
This is probably too early to show this WIP but I'm having a harder time distinguishing the differences in Western saddles. They don't have stirrup leathers or girths yet since I don't want to get too far if I have to change the base shape. I've marked the ones that will have double girths but if any of the others should as well, ple...

I added sheepskin to some of my leg protection that didn't already have it. The leg wraps look particularly good with it. By request, I also added a white swatch for some of my bell boots. This is a quick fix until I (or someone else) combine them with corresponding boots.

I'm really happy with how these came out! The textures do stretch but it looks much better in game than I was fearing. Works with all my browband shapes to fit snugly under the bridle.

I have a few miscellaneous updates.
1. New collections
I've created new collections for specific types of tack. I still have my all encompassing "Tack" collection, but I've also created:

This was a request I saw on TES Discord by GJ Farms and it was relatively quick to do. GJ Farms also provided the nice screenshots used in the preview. Additional thanks to Equestrianista and MorningStar for letting me use the converted SSO Western saddle for this.

Second part! I'll fully admit that I don't know if all these saddles realistically use this type of breast collar. But...you can decide. Sometimes I make things with options just because this is a game and I'm not stuck on realism.
Since I wasn't explicit last time, these are all pre-attached to saddles. It is not a separate accessory and found in saddle slot.

I'm working on a v2 but I won't delay this one any longer. Both include combined, front only, and back only (tail base). Be aware that all my boots take up the same texture area (except for skid boots). Mix/matching will work for some, but not all.

Just wanted to quickly say sorry about the delay for new content. I thought I had the jumping boots finished but I had messed up the textures so I have to redo those.

Another month, another WIP post. As usual, I may complete things in a different order than listed. Just the things that are upcoming. Since I'm winding down my leg protection, breast collars will be my immediate next focus, but I may do some Western or bridle variations in between.

I think I've sat with these too long. They're giving me "all I can see are the flaws." Which is a great way to introduce CC. They look good. They're just a bit messy. But if it truly bothers me I'll redo them later on.
I'm only calling one file "skid" and the other "slide" to distinguish which is which. I understand they are interchangeable names (...I think). Same with calling thes...

There's no need for me to keep doing them. I don't like to do them. I like the 3D part of content making. Conversions are only about 10% the 3D part and I don't even like how they turn out most of the time.
I may use some as a base and manipulate or add my own meshes to make them more fitting to my preferences. I do still have a personal wish list of manes from SSO and if I don't see th...

Okay so I didn't take a full break from leg protection. I did a conversion of two SSO meshes because it was relatively quick to do.
And then halters. Which are also SSO base mesh but I modified quite a bit because they were too chunky for me. Added my Sims 3 mesh of stud chain as well as some padded varieties.

I wanted more two-tone options for the saddles. The saddles I chose to do were because they all have the exact same map. I'll transfer to the others maybe at some point. I didn't feel as great of need for two-tone dressage-type saddles as I did for jumping type (...endurance just uses the same map). All versions included--with normal/long stirrups, without stirrups, EA fit--and you will need th...

I was going to wait until more of the leg protection was done but I'm very proud of myself for these. It seems silly but for my 2d-mapping challenged brain, I frankly didn't think it was possible for me to make bell boots with the ribbed effect.
