📋 About This Mod
this mod fixes the weird jumping around that the prisoner cart does when ever you select new game in skyrim with a modded or heavily modded game,this mod is inspired by Cart Carriage Havok Patch for SOS and other Mods by UniqueOne here on the nexus his deals with Touring Carriages by DayDreamer also here on the nexus. While mine is just for the beginning sequence that the player is travelling in a prisoner cart to helgen, this does not fix anything else but that which i stated above.
i have tried this fix on 5 new games and it worked every time with some small glitches that does fix its self
the front horse and cart will bounce around some, but straightened its self out.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved fix with 7,614 endorsements and nearly 278k downloads
- Directly addresses a notorious bug that plagues modded playthroughs
- Simple to install—just drop it in your load order
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019—may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or newer SMIM versions
- Only fixes the cart issue; doesn't address other intro sequence glitches
- Requires SMIM for the main file, so non-SMIM users need to find an alternative
For Skyrim modders who've had enough of the cart bouncing around during the intro. If you use SMIM and want a stable start to your playthrough, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use SMIM or play with the intro skipped entirely.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place this patch after SMIM in your load order to ensure it overrides the cart physics correctly.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement—just enable the plugin.
- For non-SMIM users, check the mod page for a version that doesn't require SMIM, or consider switching to SMIM for this fix.
