Static Mesh Improvement Mod -
- Mod Priority: 19 (B)
- ESP Priority: 36
Note: Also install the 01 Furniture, 02 Vanilla Barrel Textures, 03 Farmhouse 3D Ropes No Fade (Best), 05 Food, 06 Signs 3D Rings, 07 Whiterun Drawbridge 3D Rings and 08 Pull Lever 3D Rings files.
Manual Installation Note: Textures\architecture\farmhouse needs to be overwritten by AOF Farmhouses.
v1.18:Changed the default Furniture texture to a new very high quality texture that matches vanilla very closely. The old Skyrim HD styles are now install options.
Statue of Namira SMIM'd the horrid 2D chains. This changes the loading screen version and in-game version (they use the same mesh: statuenamira.nif).
Fixed strange shadows on the Farmhouse 3D ropes. I didn't realize I needed to remove the two "Decal" shader flags for the ropes mesh blocks. Thanks for users reporting the issue.
Added an install option for either Farmhouse 3D ropes distance fade or not. The best option is the one that disables the default fading since making some of the mesh disappear at a distance isn't necessary on quality PCs.
Removed many unneccesary NiAlphaProperty blocks for the Farmhouse building and walkway meshes. This was done to make the meshes display snow properly for people using the Better Dynamic Snow mod.
As a side, I am working with OpticShooter to correct other vanilla game issues his Better Dynamic Snow mod has revealed. I love his mod but it has technical problems solely due to game engine issues. But together we shall overcome.
Added 3D rings for the (hopefully) final two signs I missed (Markarth locations).
Fixed UV stretching errors, mesh edge turning issues, and vertex welding issues around the Markarth General Goods sign frame (mrksigngeneralgoods01.nif).
Fixed UV alignment errors on the back of the Markarth Silver Blood Inn sign (mrksignmrksilverbloodinnsign01.nif).
Added a Pullchain smaller 3D rings install option, requested by wiz0floyd.
UV improvements to all the SMIM'd furniture to remove a few blurry edges.
Fixed minor UV errors caused by the 3DS Max export process for Furniture Square Table (commontablesquare01.nif).
Minor improvements to UV mapping for Furniture Round Table (commontableround01.nif).
