📋 About This Mod
BGS made these small falmer rags that sway in the wind but decided against using them in-game. I agree with that decision;
Please, someone call a doctor!
This mod uses Base Object Swapper by powerofthree to swap that mesh out for a tree mesh that applies LeafAnims to the rag for a more natural look;
Please note the funny grey triangle at the bottom of the top gif that I fixed along the way. Texture used is from Skurkbro's Retexture Project by Skurkbro and the mesh I provided has to refer into that since the problem persists through all the different versions of FalmerHut.dds and is most likely a vanilla leftover.
Mods to use this with:
- Like I said, these meshes are not used in vanilla. The only reason to use this mod is if another mod is referring to those unused records. I only know of 1 but will add more in case yall find any.
- The Blackest Reaches SE (Original link here - The Blackest Reaches) by sinisterax, ported to SE by Dracula420 refers to one of the meshes as clutter in Blackreach. I am not aware of other mods that use them but if you come across more let me know and I can do them too.
- Skurkbro for the FalmerHut.dds I used here. Top lad and his Retexture Project is insane.
- Mur4s4me for unknowingly making me interested in BOS and how it operates.
- powerofthree for Base Object Swapper
This mod fixes unused Falmer rag meshes in Skyrim SE that sway unnaturally by swapping them for a tree mesh with LeafAnims via Base Object Swapper. It's a niche fix for mods like The Blackest Reaches that reference these unused records, and it includes a texture from Skurkbro's Retexture Project. 211 endorsements and 13,452 downloads show it's a well-received utility for specific setups.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves a real visual bug for mods that use those unused Falmer rags, like The Blackest Reaches
- Solid community trust with 211 endorsements and over 13k downloads
- The grey triangle fix is a nice touch that shows attention to detail
⚠️ Cons
- Only useful if you have a mod that actually uses those unused meshes—vanilla players won't see any effect
- Requires Base Object Swapper as a dependency, so you need to install that separately
- Compatibility is limited to known mods; you might need to test with others that reference the same records
For Skyrim SE modders who use mods like The Blackest Reaches that reference unused Falmer rag meshes and want to fix their awkward sway. Skip if you don't use such mods—this is a niche fix, not a general visual overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Base Object Swapper installed and enabled before adding this mod, or the mesh swap won't work.
- If you're using The Blackest Reaches, load this mod after it to ensure the mesh replacement applies correctly.
- Use a mod manager like MO2 or Vortex to handle the file placement and avoid overwriting issues.
