Go to your steam directory and find TheRanchOfRivershine Folder, the directory should look something like this:

[...]\Steam \ steamapps \ common \ The Ranch of Rivershine \ TheRanchOfRivershine \ Content \ Pak

[…] is the Directory area where you installed your Steam on.Find the Paks Folder in which you should find one existing file (TheRanchOfRivershine-WindowsNoEditor.pak). We do not touch that one, but it tells you that you are in the right directory.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1. Download the desired mod. It will be a .rar or .zip file format.2. You will need a program like 7zip or WinRar to unpack this archive (both are free programs).
Once unpacked you will find a READ ME file, Image/s of how the Mods look ingame AND a .pak file.3. ONLY the .pak file is the one you drop into the Pak folder.
The rest is information for you (tho they also do no harm in the Paks folder).4. Then start up your game, and you are done!- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -NOTE: Always check if it is the right file and folder! If it is not a .pak file, then you still need to unpack the archive. If it is the right file but doesnt load, then it might be in the wrong folder.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can use ctrl+F and type key words into the field to find what you may be looking for faster.I will no longer answer any questions (or similar questions) that have been answered in this FAQ. Please read it before you decide to direct a question at me, for the likely case it has been answered already.More Questions may be added in the future.

Will you release your Mods for HET (Horse Editor Tool) as Addon Patterns?
No. My mods are made to enjoy a different version of the Base Game Experience (I lovingly call it the "chocolate" flavor to the Vanilla Game experience) without interfering of additional script mods required to get these patterns. None will be made into HET Addon Textures.Can I/someone else release your Mods for HET (Horse Editor Tool) as Addon Patterns?
No. I do not wish my textures/paks to be altered/unpacked by anyone but me. This would be a TOU break.Are you open to Requests?
No.Can you make me a marking like my horse?
No.Can you make me X for personal use?
No.Could you make a version of X Mod but remove X Pattern from it?
Generally no. If I see that it is a highly requested variant I might do them on my own to release, but do not ask me directly for this.Can you make Textures from Mod Y make it replace X Pattern Category instead?
No.
If I make Pattern Replacements that arent designed like the Gene it represents in RoR, it has its reason. As an Example the "Rabicano to Manchado" Mod was born from an overwhelming amount of people having problems with Rabicano Patterns, even IRL ones. This would've rendered a whole area (Azure Coast) or Wild Horses void for those players. The Manchados enable people to use different, non-triggering Patterns for their experience.Can you change/edit X Texture a bit? I would like that more.
No. Unless its broken seams or texture glitches, there will be no edits to my Patterns for "better looks".Will you make a Replacement Mod for X Pattern when they come out?
I dont know yet. One answer is "most likely" since I like to have a full set of Patterns to fit my mod-pattern styles. But ultimately I cannot tell from the get-go, maybe I like the basegame textures and will not mod them at all.Will you make a Dapple Replacement Mod?
No. I tried and I suffered trying. I am not made for dapples. But we have a lovely Dapple Mod on Nexusmods by Shiro and Dapple/Grey replacements and HET addons made by Chicory, if you want some recommendations.Can you help me installing the mod? Its not working.
The best place to ask for help is the Mod Forum in the Cozy Bee Games Discord. There is many friendly faces helping out if something does not work correctly.A texture is very blurred, help?
The game sometimes takes a while to load in new textures, be patient and wait. Sometimes just keeping the game running, playing will fix it, sometimes the game needs a restart for the texture to finally load. Thats nothing I can influence and depends on your game and PC power.Will the Mods crash my Game if i do something wrong?
Texture relacements should not cause any harm to the game at all. Worst thing is, that they just dont show. They are a simple drop-into-folder and play, and if you wish to remove them you simply take that .pak file back out and all reverts to Base Game again.Can you help me learn how to make my own Mods/Textures for RoR?
No. Unfortunately I do not have the time to Tutor individuals. But the RoR Discord and Modding Community is more than happy to help. So your best bet is to dive into the matter and explore.Will your mods be on Nexusmods?
No.
I do not possess a Nextusmods account and I do not plan to make one for several personal reasons I wont disclose. This website is the place for my mods and downloads from here will always link to my Dropbox.

TML's Chocolate Flavor Base Retexture

This Mod is a complete Retexture and Re-Tint of all Base-Coat textures (does not include the Mealy Overlay, as it is not a Base Texture!). It has been my personal flavor of playing the game, updated for the Release update with Dun-Roans, Dun-Brindles and Roan-Brindles, changing some coats more drastic than others.This includes black manes for bays (and horses who deserve black manes), (slight or more drastic) shade adjustments to several coats as well as coat variants like white and black brindles.This pak edits coat textures and data to edit the tints. It is not compatible with my vanilla replacers or other Coat-Base replacing mods. Using these in combination with other base replacing mods can lead to odd horse shades as well as texture artifacts. I recommend to use this mod as a standalone without extra textures.(Pattern and Eye Mods are not included and work separately from this still, this only counts on Base-Textures.)

• Download
• Text Addon

The Text Addon is a simple Text replacer for some of the coat names. It makes them fit better with the edited tints of the Chocolate Pak and unifies some of the Coatnames (e.g. all Black Duns are now Grullas of various shades, no more Black Dun but Smoky Grulla, Chestnut Duns and Roans are now Red Duns and Red Roans) and a few other minor changes I (personally) enjoy more and is more common in my personal use of coat names.This Addon is not needed to play the Chocolate Flavor, it just binds them a bit nicer together. If you prefer the Vanilla Coatnames, then you can just use the Pak without the Addon.

The White-Base has been significantly lightened. This is to ensure, that on the Retextures of the Roans white patterns will still be visible. Below you see some examples of the lightest shades of Roan with some White Patterns as example.
