DESCRIPTION
Ultimate Horse Tack Customizer — previously released as Black Trapper Saddles — is an ASI trainer that lets you customize your horse tack directly in-game. You can edit supported tack colors in real time, swap individual components, apply complete saddle presets, and create your own combinations without restarting the game. Supported tack includes saddles, blankets, saddlebags, bedrolls, bridles, stirrups, horns, scabbards, and other compatible horse equipment. Customization is handled at runtime and does not require replacing shop_items.ymt. Tint values are stored in a readable CSV bank, making it easy to edit, back up, and share your configurations.
Script Hook V2 is mandatory, if you get the version from dev-c.com the ASI won’t be able to load.

Configuration and Files
The main files are stored under: Sauvy_ASI\HorseTackCustomizer
The runtime tint bank is located at: Sauvy_ASI\HorseTackCustomizer\Data\Runtime\Tint Bank.csv
The trainer automatically migrates customization from older releases that used: Sauvy Horse Tack Tint\Sauvy Horse Tack Tint Bank.csv
Existing user tint values are merged into the new database by record ID. The original legacy files are not deleted, and migration backups are created automatically.
Compatibility
» Designed to remain compatible with catalogue, clothing, texture, and gameplay mods
» Automatically detects supported Catalogue Improvements scabbard assets
» No manual CIScabbard setting is required
» Missing optional scabbard assets will not cause a crash
The optional LML content includes assets that cannot be recreated through runtime tinting alone, such as the Nuevo Paraiso saddle textures, optional blanket retextures, and the black lasso. The LML folder is not required for the trainer itself.
Installation
Drop the archive’s content to you game directory. Your custom tint values wont be affected.
For troubleshooting any issue with the trainer, please provide the logs generated.
Script Hook V2 is mandatory, if you get the version from dev-c.com the ASI won’t be able to load.
