This is a TEST only.
This mod may not work at all or break things. Make a hard save before adding this mod so that you may revert back if it doesnt work. I don't know ANYTHING about PS5s, so it's all a crap shoot.

Brought to you from the graveyard of obsolete plugins, Ship Module Snap (and flips) Expansion, or SMSEX Was originally a Structures Flips and Snaps mod, created by Gilibran. Similar to Rux's excellent Better Flips and Better Snaps but older. This mod was created before Creation Kit and used Xedit as the primary tool plus an old version of NifSkope. As time went by and Rux's Better Flips and Snaps became the established standard, SMSEX has languished and become irrelevant. However, SMSEX still had some flips and a few cool ideas that had not been done before. After a lot of trepidation, I asked the former owners if I could take a stab at making it work with Rux's Better Flips. Removing everything that I thought was done better by Rux and keeping all the things that was done better by Better Flips. Eventually it morphed into a fair bit more. Today's result, while far from perfect, gets most users closer to a less restrictive ship design.

Important: If this mod attempt doesnt work, or partially works, let me know via Nexus Starfield (look for SMSEX). I respond to email only as I don't do much modding anymore.

Requirements: This plugin contains some items that work with best with something that allows for a loose overlap tolerance. However the majority of structures and utilities do not require this. A few of the flips have poor collision geometry. This means if you walk on it from outside, you may fall through or be elevated in strange ways. Really, it's all a bit of a kludge. It should loaded after Rux's Better Flips in your Load-Order as this overrides a few structures from Rux's Better Flips mod. You may need to arrange this toward the bottom of the load order.
