💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure HDT-SMP is installed and working before adding this patch, or the armor will appear static.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage load order—place this patch after the main armor mods.
  • If you're using a body mod like CBBE, ensure it's compatible with HDT-SMP to avoid clipping issues.
