- Huge community approval (5,927 endorsements) — this patch is the go-to for physics on this armor
- Simple, focused purpose: just adds cloth physics, no bloat
- Massive download count (893k) shows it's widely used and stable
⚠️ Cons
- Requires hdt-SMP framework and the base armor mod — extra setup if you don't have them

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have hdt-SMP installed and working before adding this patch, or the armor will crash or show errors.
- Load this patch after the base Northern God Armor mod in your mod manager to ensure it overwrites correctly.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file conflicts — don't manually overwrite unless you know what you're doing.
