Making Races and Horses for Skyrim

So I'm going through the mods for Skyrim looking for a new race, saw nothing I really liked (most are god stats of existing races), but I did find a nice skin replacer for the Khajiits (
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/6568) and thought why not make a "Skyrim Khajiit". They are as tall as Nords and have some frost resist also made them brutes with no real sneaky abilities, but still even with the other races (I don't like god mode races they seem boring to me) if anyone wants a race made for them or wants a race mod edited (some don't have hair or eye options, I can fix that) then I would be happy to make it for you, just send me a message with what you want
Edit: Just found a great skin replacer for male Argonians
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/981 I think I will make a new race for that and use
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/16431#content on it (I may have to edit to fit) but it will be fun either way

Oh and I make horses too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... ABy0tT64#! are some mods I can make custom horses for (mainly the armor and skin/body replacers, the other things like the saddlebag and speed/stam increase will cover all horses when activated)

I have made races for Morrowind before (I had a neat flying halfdragonish race once) I would have to get re-acquainted with its construction set before I could do anything but if there is something you want me to work on I could give it a go for ya

For the first time, I may be modding my Skyrim. Two things I saw that I really love the look.
Are these on Curse or????
Enhanced Horse Skins & Horse Armors of Skyrim are the two I want to try

No but they are on Nexus or I could send them to you (Nexus is having log in issues) if you can't find them PM me and I will e-mail them to you. I have already made a mod that sets a player horse outside the cave you leave at the start of the game, he has the Shadowmere skin and is wearing the Nord armor, but he can be anything I want if I change my mind

2 ways, manually (if you have never done it before I would not suggest this until you are more familiar with where everything is) or you could download the Nexus Mod Manager, it puts everything where it needs to go and what not. (If it doesn't work, like stops part way and wont finish, let me know and I will give you step by step instructions)

Manually would be?
Like a WoW addon?
Extract into the addons folder etc?

More like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\textures\actors\horse\ put everything in there and override, the armor should only override 1, the other should override 10
EDIT: The .ESP file goes in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data hehehe, almost forgot that. Also just the files go in Horse no folders.

So can I download /install the Nexus mod manager and it puts the mods in their respective places can I remove it after that or?

After you open the Steam folder (the second one on your list) open the steamapps folder (2nd to last one) then find and open the common folder then right click on the Skyrim folder and tell it to make a shortcut and put that on your desktop (this is super handy if you need to manually install things). Everything needs to be somewhere in the Skyrim folder. In regards to the Nexus Mod Manager mi9ne just updated and it's not working but you can install then remove it after downloading stuff, it will not effect your addons or mods it just puts eveything where it needs to go.

I may just have to use the Nexus mod installer since I clearly do not have the folders you said to look for. I'm no computer expert but quite savvy. So I knew exactly what you meant when you described where things should go.

Sorry for the double post but I tried twice to get the Nexus Mod Manager with zero luck. Kept getting an error message. Then got an error message that the author of the download has blocked any further downloads. If you're willing to email me the Nexus mod manager and the two mods I'd greatly appreciate it.
It's these two mods:
Enhanced Horse Skins
Horse Armors for Skyrim
