Horses of Hoofprint Bay Mods and Custom Tack: Install and Fix

In brief

Put unpacked JSON and PNG files directly in the tack or clothes folder under Saves~\Mods, restart, then check the shop. Custom content is used at your own risk.

What the game supports

Horses of Hoofprint Bay supports custom tack and clothing items that players can add and share. The feature was already present in the demo.

This is user-generated content, not a promised fully supported mod platform. The developer may not provide detailed technical support, and all custom additions are used at your own risk.

Where the files go

Open the game’s Continue Game screen and use open file location, or navigate to:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\ThogliStudios\Horses of Hoofprint Bay\Saves~\Mods

Put the unpacked files in the relevant tack or clothes folder.

Installation checklist

  1. Confirm the files are in the Mods folder.
  2. Unzip them.
  3. Put the JSON and PNG files directly in tack or clothes.
  4. Remove extra subfolders.
  5. Restart the game.
  6. Check the shop.

New clothing and tack normally still have to be bought from the shop before they appear in the wardrobe or assign-tack screen.

If the mod does not appear

Work through the checklist before reinstalling:

  • Right folder?
  • Files unzipped?
  • No nested subfolders?
  • Game restarted?
  • Item purchased from the shop?

The community Miraheze page linked from the modding channel is a player-maintained index, not an official compatibility list. No official Nexus Mods page is currently available.

Templates and sharing

The developer’s pinned modding message links the template and instruction folder for custom tack. Use the supplied structure rather than inventing filenames.

Only download files you trust. Do not treat a shared pack as safe just because another player posted it.

Save editing is separate

Custom tack does not require save editing. If you choose to edit money or horse appearance:

  1. Open Continue Game and choose open file location.
  2. Open the save file in a text editor.
  3. Search for money or the horse’s name in save.json.
  4. Make the change and save.
  5. Close the game and relaunch.

Editing disables achievements on that save. Keep a backup and do not follow downloaded instructions without checking what they change.
