  •  Once you have the strings file downloaded, extract the files from the downloaded .zip archive. Most operating systems have built-in tools for extracting files. If not, you can use third-party software like WinRAR or 7-Zip
  •  After extracting the files, you will have a folder containing multiple files with different extensions. These files contain the necessary strings for the horse breed and names descriptions.
  • Copy the extracted files to the EP14 folder. Replace any existing files if prompted.This will ensure that the game recognizes the updated strings and displays the correct descriptions and content.
