Partial support
- Warning -
This mod is a replacer, so will effect every cloak and cape for the mod you select.
It can potentially hit your FPS hard depending on your hardware, mods, configuration,
and the number of NPC's in your loaded cells wearing physics-enabled clothing.
Some people may have no noticeable impact on their performance at all. It depends.
HDT-SMP is still an alpha software, and may still have many performance fixes yet to come.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 11,332 endorsements and 2.7 million downloads — this is a must-have for physics modding.
- Breathes life into cloaks and capes with realistic HDT-SMP cloth physics.
- Works as a patch, so it's lightweight and doesn't replace your favorite cloak mods.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches or newer cloak mods.
- Requires HDT-SMP and the original cloak mods to be installed separately, which adds setup complexity.
For Skyrim SE players who already use HDT-SMP and want their cloaks and capes to move naturally. If you're into immersion and visual polish, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you don't use physics mods or prefer static cloaks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have HDT-SMP installed and working before adding this patch, or cloaks will break.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle load order — place this patch after the cloak mods it patches.
- Check the mod's posts section for user reports on compatibility with your specific cloak mods and Skyrim version.
