[Solved, maybe] SMP stops working in-game

[kanne28]

I haven't changed my LO in some time, so I am quite surprised that, for some unknown reason, SMP stops working after some seconds in-game. I can make it run again if I change to first person and then back to third, but after a few seconds, it stops again. It only affects SMP, tho. HDT stuff still works fine. I read online that it usually means that SMP needs an update, but there isn't any new update on Nexus for FSMP. The only file that is overwriting FSMP is Softbody, but it is also up-to-date as of a couple of days ago, and my problem started yesterday out of the blue. Help? 

EDIT: Apparently, that only happens when I'm inside Darkfall Cave. Outside of it, the physics are working normally. Skyrim and its shenanigans, I guess.

I wonder if you are experiencing something of the sort where the game or cpu can't keep up, and so the physics are cutting out.  Has anything changed with your computer/graphics card/settings that would affect your game?

Nope. I can play more demanding games with no problems (i.e. Monster Hunter Wilds, Expedition 33, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2).

Not sure if you already have this mod, but maybe it will help.  I've had to use it mostly for minor instances, but it also helps when I have a really bad temporary physics bug out.
