I received this message from the server I rent at which is Arkservers.io:

"Unfortunately, the developers of Ark pushed an update that broke every server. We can't roll it back, but there is one piece of good news: they also released a branch called preaquatica that seems to work for now. To get your server back online, you'll need to switch to it from the Basic tab."

I right clicked the game and went to properties then clicked on the tab Betas where you will see Beta Participation. From there look to your right to change it from none to preaquatica - ASE : Pre-Aquatica

hope this helps

How do you recolor the tack like it says you can on the mod description?

Broken as of the Aquatica launch. Nivea this is one of my most beloved mods that I have used for years. I don't expect updates but I enjoyed this mod while it lasted.

So i am getting all saddles give a weight reduction? Wouldn't increasing armor add weight? I wonder if the scout saddle might get a slight speed increase? The saddles look amazing btw.

Love the mod! Would like to see more saddles or even armor for some of the bigger fighters and fliers.

Texture bug behind the player inventory

@Phantom
If you would look *one* comment below XD

Yes. It works with Kraken's Better Dinos. The one exception I've found is Trike, as Kraken's Trike is too different. Everything else, in my experience, works.

does it work with krakens better dinos mod

@MiniMeowsketeer
The only one that won't really work is the Trike saddles, everything else has worked for me so far.
(Love your username!)

Eager to try this, but we are running kraken's better dinos at the moment. Does anyone know if it works with the kraken versions of creatures?

What about platforms? I don't understand why I can't build platforms on more dinos!!!

is it not possible to make a speed buff saddle or something, seems they are all just armor or weight reduction or some combo of the both, seems a scout saddle should give a speed buff or something

@Nivea
I was able to run ASA on my 1070 with some tweaks to graphics! It's taken some fiddling but it's doable. Welcome back! I hope 2024 is much kinder to you than the last few years have been <3

AMAZING WORK! THANK YOU💖 Always a must on my public RP server!

Read ur earlier comment, hope everything is going ok medically now. I don't play ark as much as I used to, but when I do, I almost always use this mod. Still great to use and thank you for dedicating ur time to it. Hope eventually u can scrape up enough money to get a better pc so you can continue work, provided you still have the passion for it. Have a good day, love ❤

Ihmislehma is right, please don't demand anything of someone who already has so many demands in their life.

@cd_tatro
Don't be rude. Mods are provided for free and the modder does not owe you anything.

Hey, can you make the platform saddles compatible with structures plus? Platforms for the paracer saddle I built won't connect to the saddle at all.

Thanks for the update, Nivea. Happy Thanksgiving! :D

No update yet on things, I dont think I can really even play the new Ark game as I currently have a 1070 TI. Things are so pricey lately, but hopeing to pick up a new GPU soon if I can.

Its so old... but yet still decent card lol.

I think plain ole English saddles and Western saddles would be so cool!

Loved the mod, works great and looks great.
Thanks for this!

Nice to see you back, Nivea. Always a pleasure to see your progress. :)

My best wishes for you and your family. Please take your time and don't make rushed decisions for the modding stuff or anything else

Best of luck! To you and your family.

Hello everyone, firstly thank you all so much for using my mod for so long I am glad so many enjoyed it.

Sadly things have not gone well for me medically (myself and my family, my mother recently had a heart attack she is thankfully okay.) so I have no plans to fully come back to modding just yet.

However I DO plan on porting the mod over when I can afford the game and some more info on how to do it comes out. It might take some time while I figure it out all out, but it is somthing I am looking into. :)

The creator has a medical situation and cannot currently mod.

I absolutely love this Mod. It adds so much diversity and fun to the game. I was curious if there are plans to move this over Ascended.

Would Like have new Dunkleosteus Saddle like as 3X3 Found platform or with Farm bags and a Diplocaulus saddle with wings left and right fo get 2 buddies with me on diplo

Wow, it's a shame. Get well soon

so the mod dev is struggling medically and unable to work on modding things so i doubt we will get any updates to this mod, but it seems very robust and worked last time i tried it. as for new content to this mod it will not happen sadly

Hello, can you please make the saddles for Ravager too?

slightly more armor than default i believe

do the scout saddles do anything special or are they just different visually?

Great Mod, reliable now for years. Enjoy using it. Everything still works. Thank you very much for what is already is!

posted may 19th 2023 by Renshae: For anyone not aware: Nivea developed severe carpal tunnel syndrome which means they are no longer able to do any 3D modeling (or gaming). Thus, this mod will not receive any further updates.

this mod is not getting anymore updates, but last i checked everything still worked

Geeze, don't make demands like that Tatro. It comes across as very selfish. I'm fairly sure Nivea has real life issues to deal with right now. If they have any plans to work on this again, they'll let you know alright?

HAY GET BACK TO WORK!!

Nice look of the saddles

Is this mod compatible with play as dino v2 and if so can you make a titanoboa saddle

@Renshae - I take it the surgery didn't go well? The same thing happened to my mother, but she had other complications. That really sucks. :/

There is some clipping of the bridles into the horses heads, but yes they work on the Marnii horses and the saddles look great on them

This mod is compatible with the marniimod horses?

Oh man please come back and add more saddles for different dinos

Literally the BEST saddle mod, it would be nice if it had new saddles tho

Would love to see this at least go open source if its not still being worked on, some great changes were made just need to cover more dinos!

please add more awesome saddles karko's argis and mammoth specific. awesome stuff ya do here. shame to see it stop short

Does anybody know of any tutorials about how to alter saddles?

I think this is one of the best mods ever. He definitely deserved to be one of the sponsored mods. Hopefully Nivea is doing well as she hasn't written anything since January last year.
