SMP: How to get started

[darkevilhum]

Little post as people don't know where to look to get started. SMP (Skinned Mesh Physics) is a superior solution to physics simulation in skyrim. It can be performance heavy, this varies with your tweaking and hardware. I personally run smooth with 45fps outdoor, 60fps indoor using a full SMP enabled body + snapdragon enb.

 

If you're serious about setting up SMP then put some time aside and read through this thread https://www.loverslab.com/topic/68009-all-in-one-hdtskinnedmeshphysics-setup-20b-fomod/ .

Using the fomod is probably recommended for beginners. Once you've got it installed, setup and working. You can start to tweak the xmls very easily via notepad/notepad++ etc.

 

ANY problems you encounter have already been encountered by someone. Therefore the solution will literally be in that thread, give it a solid read. The first 10 pages will most likely cover the common issues people run into. 

 

Remember SMP and HDT PE don't work together ON the SAME mesh, you CAN run them together for example, SMP body + HDT clothing + HDT accessories etc. As long as you know what you're doing.

 

For tweaking, every property is covered quite well here: https://www.loverslab.com/topic/86382-hdtskinnedmeshphysics-explainedlatest-binarys/ ( second post or download site backup from first post )

 

 

At this point, enjoy your smooth af realistic jiggles, collisions and stuff.
