Static Mesh Improvement Mod

Description
[www.nexusmods.com]

IMPORTANT: Load Order Compatibility
The SMIM .esp file (StaticMeshImprovementMod.esp) must be loaded BEFORE (ABOVE) any water mods you are using, otherwise you'll most likely get an ugly water seam at the Riften Docks. To check and change your load order, run the Skyrim Launcher, pick "DATA FILES", and then move your .esp files up and down to ensure the SMIM .esp is BEFORE (ABOVE) any water mod .esp files.

What is SMIM?
SMIM is a massive project to greatly improve the appearance of countless 3D models in Skyrim. SMIM makes Skyrim architecture, clutter, furniture, landscaping, and general visual quality much nicer.

Some mods add a few things here and there. SMIM is a massive graphical upgrade you will benefit from your entire playthrough! The average player will see countless SMIM'd objects every few minutes.

What DLC or mods are required?
None. No Official DLC or mods are required for SMIM. However, SMIM includes fixes and improvements for all the DLCs. Moreover, the Official High-Res Texture DLC is absolutely recommended because it covers many objects not touched by SMIM.

Will this hurt my game or break my save?
No. No. No. SMIM is perfectly safe. SMIM cannot ever harm your save game. You can install or uninstall it as often as you want.

I want some stuff in SMIM but not others. How do?!
If you want to customize the textures and install options, download the Skyrim Nexus version[www.nexusmods.com]. Skyrim Nexus features a very convenient Vortex Mod Manager[www.nexusmods.com] to help you install mods.

Also, there is a Skyrim Special Edition Nexus version[www.nexusmods.com] of SMIM for those who play Skyrim Special Edition and/or Anniversary Edition.

What is the performance impact of SMIM?
SMIM increases the polygon count and texture resolution of many objects in the game. Modern computer systems with quad-core processors and discrete AMD/nVidia graphics cards only suffer minimal (1-5) frames per second loss.

Keep in mind Skyrim has engine limitations that cause issues over 60 frames per second. Therefore, on modern hardware, there is a very large headroom where Skyrim could run at 60-100+ FPS, but since physics issues and graphical glitches occur over 60 FPS, SMIM often won't reduce your FPS below 60, assuming you can reach 60 FPS to begin with.

Most modern PCs won't experience any FPS loss at all. Other mods, such as, ENB Series, can be extremely hard on your computer. Feel free to post questions about performance if you aren't sure your computer can handle SMIM.

What about compatibility with other mods?
As of SMIM 1.95 uploaded October 2016, the SMIM .esp file (StaticMeshImprovementMod.esp) must be loaded BEFORE (ABOVE) any water mods you are using, otherwise you'll most likely get an ugly water seam at the Riften Docks. To check and change your load order, run the Skyrim Launcher, pick "DATA FILES", and then move your .esp files up and down to ensure the SMIM .esp is BEFORE (ABOVE) any water mod .esp files.

As for other mods that edit the same meshes and textures that SMIM edits, all that will happen is the mod lowest in your load order will take priority. Don't worry about it. Feel free to use the big texture replacers along with SMIM.

Credits and Permissions
  • SMIM is 99% my own work based on Bethesda's original game.
  • Thanks to modders NebuLa, raiserfx, Ancient76, Langley, pfaffendrill, tehx3n, and Corepc for letting me modify their stuff or for helping me out in other ways.
  • For the full list of royalty-free and public domain photographs and textures used in SMIM please see the Readme file included in the Skyrim Nexus version of SMIM.

Version History:
  • Updated 11/05/2016 to use SMIM version 2.03. Fixed a critical unknown error causing game freezing in many locations. Apologies!!
  • Updated 11/04/2016 to use SMIM version 2.02. Shack roof improvements, USSEP fixes, pull chain fixes.
  • Updated 11/02/2016 to use the non-Dragonborn version of SMIM (no hawk fixes but they're minor). I apologize for this oversight that caused people's games to crash if they didn't have Dragonborn!
  • Updated 11/01/2016 to use SMIM version 2.01. Adds various improvements, notably real physics for barrel lids (see video above). The hanging rabbits had their hind legs stretched out to look more realistic. Many meshes had minor technical issues corrected.
  • Updated 10/23/2016 to use SMIM version 1.95. Adds various improvements, notably 3D ropes in Solitude and Riften and bumpy cobblestone roads to all SMIM bridges. All meshes run through the NifScan utility and I corrected minor errors in about 66 meshes.
  • Updated 10/31/2015 to use SMIM version 1.89. Adds various improvements, notably better sarcophagus meshes, doorbars, stone pillars, and wood pyres.
  • Updated 07/20/2015 to use SMIM version 1.84. Adds much awesome stuff.
  • Updated 04/28/2015 to change Part 1 to full SMIM version 1.75 since SW now allows large mods. Consider donating if you enjoy SMIM. In fact, consider donating even if you hate SMIM! Generosity is good for the soul or whatever.
  • Updated 06/21/2014 to use SMIM version 1.72. Now six separate parts.
  • Updated 01/31/2014 to include the missing Dwemer Ingot mesh.

Love this mod it makes so much sense thanks for explanation to 'Brumbek' was helpful to me too, Hoping you are well

@ƦƴѵŁ: to switch from Steam Workshop SMIM to Nexus SMIM, you can simply unsubscribe from the Steam Workshop version then install the Nexus version. You could keep the Workshop version and *also* install from Nexus. It wouldn't break anything, but it would be redundant and take more disk space. Don't worry about the in-game warning when you unsubscribe from the Steam Workshop version that says 'Some .esp files couldn't be loaded.'

To give more details, the Workshop version is contained in two single files: the StaticMeshImprovementMod.esp and StaticMeshImprovementMod.bsa. The .bsa file contains all the art like meshes and textures.

The Nexus version is a 'loose files' version where the meshes and textures are installed to your Skyrim\Data\ folder, along with the .esp files you choose during installation (most users use SMIM-Merged-All.esp for a full SMIM install).

So the two versions don't overwrite each other. I hope this information helps. Thanks for using SMIM!

First, I'd like to say thank you for the amazing work you've done. Secondly, if I downloaded the files here and I'm trying to slowing convert everything through nexus, would this cause any errors if I just downloaded from Nexus and "replaced" all the files to latest version or should I remove the old files via Steam first?

@Kad: thanks for telling me. I've fixed the URL, and I've added a link to the Special Edition version of SMIM for those who play the Special Edition.

I like to delete this mod every once in a while so i get used to ugly skyrim again and can appreciate it more

@Ermitaum: Thank you so much! It certainly was a labor of love over many years. I'm thankful so many players are still enjoying my beloved SMIM, even 12+ years later! All the best to you!

PS: I love your Embers mini-background and Dark Souls avatar. Very cool!

This must have been a Herculian labor of love! OMG, congratulatons are in order here! My hat's off to you, sir!

this feels like normal skyrim now. i forgot i had this mod and was wondering why my friend's skyrim looked so bad

@Robin, glad you got it downloaded on Skyrim Nexus. Actually, I misspoke about Skyrim Legendary Edition. This Workshop version of SMIM works on Original Skyrim (2011) and the Legendary Edition (2013). It's the Special Edition (2016) and Anniversary Edition (2021) that are a product on Steam and don't use the Steam Workshop. For people using those two versions, you can download SMIM from the in-game mod browser or Skyrim Nexus Special Edition page. Confusing, I know!
