📋 About This Mod
Mostly these are just mesh replacers and the .xmls but there is also an .esp included, which should prevent the infamous double cloak bug.

Installation
Just install as you would any other mod; make sure that my .esp loads after the main mod.
The performance ranges around the Cloaks of Skyrim Retextured patch from the awesome Artesian Cloaks of Skyrim mod as my patch uses the same .xmls from HDT SMP XMLs as foundation.
As always with physics mods which don't make Skyrim a slideshow there is a slight clipping, especially with your shield on back.
For fine tweaking I recommend Immersive Equipment Display which I also have used in the video above.
This patch adds HDT physics to the cloaks from the Sons of Skyrim mod, enhancing their movement with realistic cloth simulation. It's a small, focused compatibility patch for Skyrim players who want more immersive cloak behavior, with over 1,000 endorsements and a recent update in March 2024.
