Skyrim’s moving ropes get a matching finish

Skyrim’s swinging ropes can finally look as detailed as the scenery around them. kojak747’s ROPE–SMIM patch gives ROPE’s moving meshes SMIM’s rounded braids, knots, and loose fibers while keeping the sway, wind, and collision behavior that made ROPE appealing in the first place.

It replaces 19 meshes without adding a plugin, though the Solitude rope retains its original ROPE appearance. You’ll need both parent mods and ROPE’s dependencies, with this patch overwriting ROPE’s meshes. The creator tested Skyrim Special Edition, but not VR in a headset.
