A str𓃲essed 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 to ask for help as their PC begins to breakꦛ under the weight of the myriad horses they've conju𒊎red.

"Guys, please help me," they say. "I've accidentally installed a mod for Skyrim that has the secondary effect 𒁃of ꦡspawning 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 scr🤪eenshots go, it's a good one. Naturally, though, they did♊ not get the help they were looking for.

"It's🧜 to keep the game staꩵble," 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' m♕od 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 hi♒larious, so it's staying." 

While it w💞ould 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. 

Skyrim's magic system is "absolutely going to continue" into The Elder Scrolls 6, according to a former Bethesda designer.
