📋 About This Mod
Just wanted to share this thing that i did because i was bored, don't know if Altair155 still active and if he sees this and want me to put it down i'll gladly do
Also you don't need the original mod for this to work, but go endorse it because it's awesome and it deserves it.
AND i don't know how to convert the male outfit (included in the main file) to HIMBO so it's not compatible with it cuz it will overwrite it
How to use it:
1. Download, install and enable it (if u are using a mod manager like MO2)
2. Open Bodyslide via your mod manager
3. Scroll until u find the outfit called "ALtair Nightingale 3BA SMP Cape" (yeah i didn't know how to name it)
4. Build it and enjoy
Original mod by Altair155.
This mod converts Altair155's Nightingale HDT-SMP cape to the 3BA body, enabling physics on the cape and armor. It's a niche cosmetic upgrade for Skyrim players using 3BA who want enhanced cloth physics. With 148 endorsements and nearly 30k downloads, it's a proven choice for that specific setup.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid track record: 148 endorsements and nearly 30k downloads show it's trusted.
- Brings that juicy HDT-SMP physics to the Nightingale cape for 3BA users.
- Direct conversion of a known mod, so you know what you're getting.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires HDT-SMP and 3BA body mods to work, so it's not for everyone.
- Last updated in 2022, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mods.
- Only affects the cape and armor—if you want more Nightingale changes, this isn't it.
For Skyrim players who use the 3BA body and want their Nightingale armor to have realistic cloth physics. If you're not into physics mods or don't use 3BA, skip this—it's purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have HDT-SMP and 3BA installed before adding this, or the physics won't work.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting other cape mods.
- Check your load order—this mod should load after the base Nightingale armor mod.
