horse follow toggle mod?

[Metalloman1]

After some search without any satisfying result, I'm resorting to ask here:

Is there a mod to toggle the horse following mode? Something like "Come" and "Stay" for Mutt the dog, even a simple key toggle would work.

Reason: More often than not I'm so overburdened with loot I need to walk all my way to the nearest city, or I need to walk for a bit for whatever reason, and I would like my horse to walk behind me instead of spawning out of nowhere.


If this mod doesn't exist, does anyone knows if it is possible to do it in any way?

Thanks in advance!

It's definitely possible, but it would probably take a good chunk of time and a lot of trial and error to get it working properly. The two behavior trees you would want to look at would be the horse.xml and npc_playerdog.xml

Another option might be to simply increase your base inventory capacity via a mod if you feel it's not sufficient. You don't need to go full infinite inventory space, but you could increase the limit to make it more reasonable.

Until the mod is made if it ever will be made you can always just keep pressing x while walking.

why would you need your horse to walk behind you when you can summon him at will?

Thanks for your answer, I will take a look at those. :)

I am not complaining at all about that, I just wanted to know if a mod like the one I described exists for the sake of realism alone, I don't mind walking over-encumbered in this game, so I don't need any mods to enhance my inventory capacity, it just bothers me a bit to have to keep pressing X to have my horse near me where IRL a horse would follow you like a dog if you teach it.

It's more about having that feature for the sake of it and because I don't like seeing my horse popping out of nowhere, but I like it to follow me at command when I walk. :)



Thanks for your answers, I will try to tinker with those files, I should still be able to edit some .xml files but, if someone more experienced out there is able to do something like what I described in OP I would be grateful! :D
