My Little Pony Mods - Replacing player civs/races with custom races

[King of Turves]

This is a modding question on custom races, back in the day as well as playing Dwarf Fortress with dwarves, I quite liked adding in custom races like the raws for
My Little Pony: The Ponies themselves consisting of Earth, Unicorn, Pegasi, Diamond Dogs, Changelings, Griffons, Zebras.
But I'm having trouble locating a particular set of raws.
So I'd thought I'd ask the community.
Ideally I just want some pony races to add to the existing dwarf/human/goblin/elves, etc. or replace them.
So I'd thought I'd ask around for a how to turtorial on modding.
Intention of this disscussion thread is to ask for some pony race mod file links that will overall the game, but I suppose it could also be a thread for swapping out races with custom ones, playing as Orcs, etc.
(Before posting check with the pinned rules for steam discussions, if this is subject is not your thing, that's fine, but I don't need to know if this isn't your interest. Others might be.)

[Ghiron]

You do realise this doesn't make you look responsible or grown up right, the responsible and grown up thing to do would be to ignore me, giving a genuine reply just makes you look like you're on the spectrum, though that was obvious from the original post.

go be a douche somewhere else, let us enjoy our hobby in peace its a good mod suggestion.

You people really cant help yourselves can you. I literally just gave you the best advice anyone could give spectrum inclined people like yourself, dont give attention to trolls, I wasnt even planing to keep this going past the first post but you're making it to easy.

That you had the forum guidelines in mind before you even posted this means
A) You're trolling or
B) You entirely expected this, and did it anyway.
I'm so tired man.

and sub humans like you deserve the same non existence as the deity you warship.

Quiet, both of you! One man already went to the cross to reconcile you BOTH to God! (Yes, even you, Varron. No, you don’t NEED to believe that in this lifetime for it to have its effect. Don’t let any Christian tell you you’re gonna “burn in hell forever!”, that’s not a Scriptural teaching.)

Now come together over your common love of dwarven mead!

It's a bit of shame that some folks feel they have to troll in reply.
Guess I'll just report them, potentially block them and move on to find replies from folks out there that might know the answer.

It has been a while since I've mess with adding custom player races in.
Like Orcs, demons, etc.
Hopefully some replies will be more helpful out there to more general advice on modding.
I'll likely have a go after my next shift and see if I can use some files from older mods.
It's just I don't neccessarily know which files need replacing, etc.

So whether its Orcs, Ponies or whatever. Hopefully this thread will act as a place to discuss how to. I think it would be valuable to other folks who might not be interested in adding ponies, but perhaps something else like Orcs, daemons, etc.

B) Prior knowledge and experience of some of the more poorly behaved aspects of the community. They really ought to follow the rules, but sadly some things will set people off.

Best to ignore those, report them, potentially block the Trolls.
Ideally if people can follow the guidelines in the forum, it will result in a more productive thread.

Please don't respond to trolls and adhere to the forum guidelines.
If you can delete any responses that engage in name calling, etc. Please do so and don't encourage them.

my question is what mlp race would be the player controlled one?

Ideally for a MLP themed civ mod:

Would need the mod plugin that allows all major civs to be playable.

But I would envision the following being playable:

-Ponies (Unicorns, Earth Ponies, Pegasi, together as a tribe with an Alicorn head ruler)
-Zebras
-Diamond Dogs
-Yaks
-Changelings
-Griffons
(Maybe also:
-Kirin?
-Hippogriffs?
-Crystal Ponies)

So I shall be looking through some of the old mods.
I'll just be wanting to add them in.
Not particularly interested in any custom technologies or buildings.
Ideally one of the raws which has custom cutie marks for ponies, etc.

Some mods add all manner of additional fanmade races like spider ponies, etc.
But I would just prefer raws which match the show.
