🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have HDT Physics Extensions installed and working before adding this mod—test with a simple HDT item first.
Load this mod after Cloaks of Skyrim in your mod manager to ensure the meshes override correctly.
If cloaks don't flap, check that your skeleton supports HDT (like XPMSE) and that you're using the correct version for your game.
