Hey asdt123123,

Can You confirm that SMP cloaks/capes will tank FPS by 20-40 FPS in areas like Solitude.

 

According to Google AI it is known that Artesian Capes aka Cloaks of Skyrim SMP will tank FPS if used on all in the world.


From reading on the mod site plenty seems to have big FPS loss with the cloaks.

Even on a Intel I9-13900K CPU set to AVX2.


Will upgrading to FSMP 3.0 have an effect on these FPS drops?

 

If you're using VR skyrim, avoid FSMP 3.0 until my vr fix is published. Otherwise, yeah it's significantly faster. 

 

Cloaks are heavy because the author used the original body mesh with ~30k+ poly for the collision shape. If you simplify the collision body it'll use little to no resources.

 

I just re-did the wind too, so it's more like that other mod.

So for now I will just remove them from ordinary guards and bandits and only have them on important high station characters for immersion.

Alternatively I could adjust FSMP to only simulate nearby NPC's. Others have said that could help.


Edit.: Removing 5 cloaks in Solitude and about 10 in Whiterun. It's like night and day. Might not have gained a lot of FPS. But Stutters are gone.
