FOAL OVERLOAD! I can't imagine playing with that many foals - I commend you! But they are all adorable; I basically progressed in a series of squees through this thread, heh.

Haha, thank you all!
I've got some news for you guys. I'm currently building a completely new website for SDE and it's gonna be like 100 times better than my old one. A new layout but also a new much better and non-confusing navigation (I've had so many people being confused about where I keep all stuff, especially the things under the "services" tab I just had to do something about it)
This also means I'm going on a little semi-hiatus, to get time to work on the website. For those who still haven't had their mares bred, don't worry, I'll get to that during this time! I'm also going to work on my facilities, maybe get to the puppies, kittens and unicorn and pegasi foals done as well.
ALSO, I may be starting up a little thread in the folk tales forum. I've been itching to do something more with SDE ever since I started it, so you may see something there from me in the future :>

Great to hear that improvement is on the way! I'm always excited when someone decides to improve something!

Improvement is always good! Also, I found I had taken a screenshot of one of the brand new lots I'm working on! Previously, my drafts and ponies have had the "central stables", that is, the stables in the middle of the whole "complex" or what you would call it. But now I've decided I want a big new stable just for my baroque mare (so I can have even more baroque horses! ), and I thought the perfect place for such a stable would be there in the central spot. Y'know, gotta place my main attraction in the center, obviously So therefore I'm building a completely new lot for the drafts and ponies, just beside the main estate lot (which my baroque stallions now will take over), which is this one! The drafts will have the right side stable and the ponies the left side stables - if you couldn't tell by the stall sizes All stallions will have the right pasture and all mares the left pasture. The upper pasture is going to be empty until someone makes minis BECAUSE I NEED MINIS DAMNIT D: The empty area just above the stables will have a outdoor riding area, with some beginner training stuff. The ponies got a few more stalls than the drafts, but because I don't want to have any more ponies for breeding I was thinking about having just a couple riding ponies, maybe have a little mini riding school for kids? Actually, I've already come much further in-game than can be seen in this screenshot. I've made the riding area (well minus obstacles, training stuff and that), fixed a roof and made some minor changes to the stalls. If I can finish this overdue breeding app and get back to lot building without my game crashing I'll promise to take more and better pictures

Well the size slider just came out and I had sworn ever since I first built the first central stable that I'd get a herd of minis, so guess what? Here's a horde of 'em! Oh, yes, and aside from showing of my new minis, I'm also going to show you a new andalusian stallion! ALSO, they're in my brand new finished draft, pony & mini stable lot so consider this a sneak peek on it. And as if that wasn't enough, I've pretty much finished my custom default eyes so this will be a demo of them as well. Gosh, lots of things to show off! The little girls are very intrigued by the big black andalusian stallion. You can tell which one's the mini stallion by how he's the only one's who's less than pleased by this intruder. But let's present the newcomers! This is the herd stallion, Eldorado. You probably can't tell, but he's a chestnut, a very dark sooty chestnut. With roan, rabicano and an appy blanket. And here's La Luna, grulla tobiano. And here we have Pepita, a perlino. Here's Estrellita. You can't see it but underneath the splash pattern she's actually a very beautiful seal brown. I was very sad when the white covered it up Marisol, a mealy flaxen chestnut. With one blue eye! Dominica, a classic champagne! And finally, Perla, a palomino pearl sabino! But I haven't forgotten about that andalusian stallion! Let me present you Salvador, a stunning black andalusian! But I don't breed andalusians, so how do this come? Well, I would tell you, but.. it's more fun to keep it a secret (and no, I'm not gonna breed andalusians, he's for something else...) I put Salvador in one of the draft's box stall in the meantime I played around some more with the minis. This shot gives you a better view of the actual stables :3 And now, onto some random mini pics! Eldorado's butt. I really only took this picture to show off the appy eyes which you can make with my new custom eyes! He's a fattie <3 La Luna giving the look D: A better shot of Perla's pretty head <3 I don't know if anyone's figured it out, but I'm gonna go for a mini-lusitano alt. mini-andalusian look for my minis. Obviously ;D Anyway, this is Dominica, she really look like a little mini-lusitano :3 Close-up of Marisol's differently colored eyes :> Girl talk, boys, keep away! And finally, a picture of Estrellita :>

What's funny about their eyes? And no, there's no back sliders. In fact I'm probably gonna shorten their backs a tiny bit if one does come out

Nothing, it just seems like they are really huge on their face. And I think someone is working on the back slider for more options.

Grace: Oh, I was thinking it was about the custom eyes, sorry xD I did make them a bit larger because I was trying to get some mini-proportions on them :9 Evangeline: Actually he isn't :B well he'll be up for stud like my other stallions, but I plan on using him for another kind of cross-breeding :B I've been considering making a classic knab stallion though, will probably do sometimes in-between my facility-building. Been making a bunch of new horses on and off lately Ann : Thank you :3 I removed Salvador and the minis from the lot - since I just tested them in my build world. I'm gonna edit Salvador a bit. Make him fatter, because I realized he was too thin, especially for my purposes. I've also made some other new horses just waiting to be shown! I created two trakehners, because when recounting the stalls in the sport-stable I turned out to have two extra. Normally I give one of the breeds an extra mare in this case, but two extra stalls, and I didn't feel I favored any of the breeds over the other. SO I took this as a chance to have another pair of a new breed. So with the sport-theme in mind I decided to finally let go of my hardship for warmbloods. It's not that I dislike them, I've just found it hard to find an interest to them since they're very regular and common and all alike. But after some googling I found I liked trakehners, mostly because their history interested me, and that they're an actual breed set them apart. It's actually kinda funny, because I ended up googling pictures and info of trakehners at several occasions, and I found that warmbloods really aren't that bad. They're really gorgeous actually, and they're quite incredible horses what with their athlethic abilities and everything. So here they are! My first breeding pair of trakehners. The stallion, Adalric is the bay one and the mare, Edelweiss, is the grey. Another pic of Edelweiss. Since I was bored I decided to take the hano template, an arabian from MTS and what I think was a tb template, and then created a bunch of offspring back and forth until I came up with something that looked like a trakehner. The result was this little lady! And then there's Adalric. I think I just copied Edelweiss and modified her to make him. Or I took one of the other offsprings. Don't remember I also have another horse, a frederiksborg stallion, to show. Actually, I created him as part of a foundation horse sale of frederiksborgs and curlies I was supposed to make. But I kinda realized it was too much work creating horses so I've more or less scrapped that. And instead I decided to make use of this horse myself instead of letting him go to waste. He's a classic type frederiksborg, so he'll make a great asset to my breeding. I'm not sure though if I'm going to keep him as a stallion or if I should make him a mare. I'm kinda leaning on the latter. Oh, and by the way, his (or her) name is Levende :> Oh and alsoo, check out my work-in-progress riding school! It's completely rebuilt, as in I bulldozed the old riding school and built a new one from the ground up. The old one became seriously bugged, there was some gates and archs which I had put together (with moveobjects) that whenever touched crashed the whole game. And they looked horrendous so I couldn't leave them like that. So yeah. I've been dreading having to rebuild my dear riding school, but it turned out not to be so horrible. Actually it gave me a chance to make it even better than before. I have a lot of better cc to properly give it it's baroque look. Just look at those arches, windows and doors! And that's just the outside

Do you have a template for your frederiksborg. They are one of my favorite Baroque breeds, besides the Warlander.
