  • Went out to see my male horse laying on the ground during the day in front of an opening to a barn, same situation yesterday with another male horse on the same type building, cos I keep my males away from my mares when I don't want them breeding, what I'm wondering is, most have told me horses don't die, yet I've had two die in the past 3 weeks, is there something I don't know? I find it odd, none of my friends have had this happen? Seeking info that I might not know cos it bugs me

  • Hmm... basically horses (or other animals) should not die of old age... they can only die if they get damage (fall damage, touching fire, getting attacked by a player etc) :|

    If there is a cave right below the horses, are they maybe there (just in case they fell through the ground for some reason)?


    Otherwise you could also try the findmount console command (you can open the console by pressing ` or ~). This will highlight the position of the last mount (but this only worked if you didn't use another mount in the meantime)

  • The horse was actually laying on the ground, I have a pic of it, but it's odd it has happened twice with the same building but in 2 different places, I have the building down twice, and both horses died in the very same spot. I do find this odd for sure
