📋 About This Mod
SSE Version
This mod enhances the meshes of various objects throughout Skyrim, it was something i always wanted to do since i first saw SMIM. I recently started using Cinema 4D for completely different reasons and that old desire came back and since i didn't felt anyone did what i wanted to do.... voila! you get this.
- Compatible with all texture mods.
- Compatible and highly recommended.
SMIM Skyrim Particle Patch No snow under the roof Hagravens
- Make sure you overwrite all meshes with mien.
- You might find polygon holes in some of the objects, report them so i can close them.
- If there is a mod out there that conflicts with this and i don't know about it let me know.
- The poly count (in some meshes) is high for Skyrim standards, so you may get slow downs and fps drops in some areas although not likely (none reported yet).
- Why is the poly count so high?
- Because it's the easiest way to make the objects smooth.
- What is the performance hit?
- Depends on your pc, for me it's non existent and my pc sucks.
- Your meshes are terrible!
- They are better than vanilla and that's all i wanted.
- You are wasting resources, there are better ways to do this.
- The performance hit of this mod is not noticeable and yes I know there are better ways to smooth the objects, feel free to make your own mod.

💡 Beginner Tips
