📋 About This Mod
Description
This is a rework of Nekomata17's DX Druid Armor 3BA mod.
I've added HDT-SMP cloth physics on the two skirts and the cape.
Additionally, some meshes have been optimized, invisible polygons have been removed.
I've tried to create the feel of soft leather for the physics.
The idea being that compared to cloth, it should feel heavier, and not flow and deform as easily.
The long skirt flows more than the short skirt.

Installation Notes
There are 2 types of light flagged files to choose from: ESL and ESPFE.
ESL: These were made through Creation Kit and are treated like masters in your load order.
However, these files have compressed form IDS, meaning you cannot use these in existing saved games.
Form IDs are what the game uses to register items in-game.
If the form IDs get changed the save that relied on the original form IDs will disappear.
A NEW GAME IS REQUIRED TO USE ESL!
ESPFE: These were made in XEdit and do not have compressed form Id's. You can use these with existing games
without issue.
When in doubt about which to use, please use ESPFE.
Advanced installation
You can use both this mod and Nekomata17 version together, as all shape data is kept separate.
This can be useful if you only want cloth physics on the cape but not the skirts, for example.
This is my first mod, please be gentle ;-)
I'll try to fix any issues found, just create a bug report.
