Piercing Improvement (PI) - Physics

ALWAYS INSTALL THE LAST VERSION if you face issues with the mod => it might fix bugs

Description

This mod adds physics to vanilla piercings, so they look animated when the character moves.

It includes Mystra piercing sets.

Optional Files: piercing sets with most of all possible combinations (only lobe earrings for example). More will come.

This mod is a W. I. P

I'll add physics on all piercings, the time I find the correct settings to avoid collision issues and get realistic moves. New piercings will come as well, like chains and two anchor ones.

In the meantime, I'm developing an addon for Blender that imports/edits/exports physics data on piercings and hair. I'll post it on Nexus and Github when it is ready enough for a public sharing. With it you'll be able to create your own custom piercings and hair with physics.

If you are a modder who wants a patch for your piercing mod, do not hesitate to contact me.

IN CASE OF CRASH OR BAD PERFORMANCES ISSUES DO THE FOLLOWING:

It seems PhysX is not correctly updated when you update NVidia drivers which makes the game to crash easily, in particular when it loads physics assets like my piercings. To fix that do:

  • []Uninstall PhysX from Windows 

  • []Make a custom installation of your NVidia drivers and check PhysX

    How to Use it In Game

    Select the piercing from the regular Character Creator > Body Art > Piercings >
