Hi all,

Can anyone advice how I pick a Stallion based abroad to breed with?

I can see the foreign Stallions in the directory but there is no option to breed with them similar to Stallions based in the same country as your Mare.

Kind regards,

Lee

Have had the same problem...there is even a stud fee next to a sire based in say france but can not select it to cover my mares ....very frustrating

On the My Breeding screen there are two circular buttons on the right side. Click the highlighted one to highlight the other button. You will now have access to the international sires.

It says international sires but if you look at the directory the sires doing well in foreign countries are not on that list ...the list is predominetley if not exclusivly u k horses

here is an example french sires ...the fee is there but when you click nothing is initiated

You need to click the "My Breeding" tab which is found in the second row of tabs underneath the top row of tabs.

yes thats where the u k studs are available to use ...it says international sires but that really isnt the case ....the sires in my upload for example are not available in the my breeding section

here is the current international sires section ....the sires with flags are not in the stallion directory when you click back on the other circle

That looks like a bug. I see there are no breeding tabs for those sires. I'm guessing you are on the Steam version? I am not. Maybe it's a Steam version issue?

Are you playing an unmodded game? Flat only or combined?

yes i am playing the steam version flat only version u k game unmodded ...would i lose my progress by downloading the game directly and not running through steam?

I can't confirm if it's a bug. Maybe it's a feature of the UK game? I doubt it though. I've only played a US and AUS game so far.

If you want to switch versions and keep your progress you could copy and save the "saves" folder found in the starters orders 7 folder in the documents directory. Paste it back in the same place after you re install.

i appreciate your help but would that mean having to seek a refund from steam and then paying for it again from the starters orders 7 website ?

I don't know. Best post this issue in the tech support forum. Maybe Mark will read it here. Definitely looks like a bug to me. Maybe it's a quick fix in a patch and you wont have to switch versions.

ok cheers mate thanks for your help
