A stressed Skyrim player behooved to their faltering PC has turned to the internet for help, claiming to have unwittingly installed a mod that spawns 25 horses every time they load the file, and getting absolutely none.
Skyrim fan Yahiamice takes to the RPG's dedicated subreddit to ask for help as their PC begins to break under the weight of the myriad horses they've conjured.
"Guys, please help me," they say. "I've accidentally installed a mod for Skyrim that has the secondary effect of spawning 25 horses every time I load the save file. They do nothing but stand there in the same exact pose and lag my computer. Please help. Here's a screenshot."

As far as screenshots go, it's a good one. Naturally, though, they did not get the help they were looking for.
"It's to keep the game stable," one fan says before another replies, "Quit horsing around."
As you might have guessed, there's a certain horse theme to the puns in the replies. The same can't be said for absolutely everyone, though, as some do offer advice – sort of.
"OP do you have the '25 Horses every time you load' mod installed? That may be the issue if so?" a helpful fan suggests. Another chimes in: "Uninstall that mod, done."
Even a subreddit mod got involved, adding, "This keeps getting reported, but it's hilarious, so it's staying."
While it would be hard to pull something like this off accidentally - it's likely a mod incompatibility - it's still pretty dang funny. Fewer things better sum up Skyrim modding than ending up with more horses than you bargained for. Dare I say, the poor Skyrim fan may be stuck with their newfound horses for a while yet.
