📋 About This Mod
I modded the meshes to be SMP and moved them out just a tad to help compensate for larger armour and reduce clipping when the books sway.
Update 1. 1
-Added Bandolier book support.
-Moved models a little more to reduce gaps when wearing on characters with thin armour/clothes while keeping compensation for larger ones.
-Bandolier .esp patch file for new model assignments between male/female models.
-Equippable Tomes .esp patch file for new model assignments between male/female models.
-Equipable Spell Tomes - Redone .esp patch file for new model assignments between male/female models.
For Bandolier & Equippable Tomes: Extract the "Meshes" folder and the 2 .esp files that apply to you into your "Install Directory\Data".
For Bandolier: Extract the "dragten" folder (located in "meshes\armor") into "Install Directory\Data\Meshes\Armor" then copy the .esp file that applies to you to your "Install Directory\Data" folder.
For Equippable Tomes: Extract the "equippable tomes" folder (located in "meshes\armor") into "Install Directory\Data\Meshes\Armor" then copy the .esp file that applies to you to your "Install Directory\Data" folder.
For Equipable Spell Tomes - Redone: Extract the "equippable tomes" folder into "Install Directory\Data\Meshes\Armor" then copy the .esp file that applies to you to your "Install Directory\Data" folder.
All .esp files included are flagged .esl for mod limit support.
Make sure my .esp files are listed BELOW the main files and any compatibility files for those mods.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 477 endorsements and over 14k downloads.
- Adds physics to books, making them sway naturally and reducing clipping with bigger armor.
- Includes patches for multiple mods, so you can use it with Equippable Tomes, Bandolier, or Spell Tomes Redone.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires HDT-SMP framework, which can be finicky to set up and performance-heavy.
- Manual installation with multiple ESP files and folder paths might confuse mod manager users.
- Last updated in 2022, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or other mods without patches.
For Skyrim players who use Equippable Tomes or Bandolier Books and want those items to have physics instead of static meshes. It's also for those who wear bulky armor and hate clipping. Skip if you don't use those mods or don't have HDT-SMP set up.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have HDT-SMP installed and working before adding this mod, or the books won't have physics.
- Place the included ESP files below the main mods' ESPs in your load order to ensure the model assignments work.
- If you use a mod manager, you can still install manually by extracting to the Data folder, but be careful to overwrite correctly.
