📋 About This Mod
This mod improves collision for cave meshes.
These are the opposite of optimized, but shouldn't come with any noticeable performance impact. Your experience may vary.
Enhanced textures detail (UV-tweaks) & Static Mesh Improvement Mod are recommended, but not required. This mod doesn't replace every mesh.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved fix with 544 endorsements and over 100k downloads
- Directly addresses a common annoyance—floating in caves—with precise collision
- Lightweight and focused, built on trusted mods like SMIM
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects specific cave meshes, so some areas may still have inaccurate collision
- Requires compatibility with SMIM and Enhanced Textures Detail, which could conflict with other cave overhauls
- Last updated in 2022, so it may not be tested with the latest Skyrim versions
For Skyrim players who notice the floating effect in caves and want a simple fix without overhauling the whole game. It's perfect for those already using SMIM or Enhanced Textures Detail. Skip if you don't care about collision accuracy or if you use other cave mods that might conflict.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager, install this after SMIM and Enhanced Textures Detail to ensure proper overwrite order.
- Check the mod's file structure to see if it replaces meshes directly; if so, you can manually drop it into your Data folder.
- Since it's a mesh replacer, it won't affect save files, so you can add or remove it anytime.
