What SmithingPlusPlus adds
SmithingPlusPlus is a fork of the Smithing Plus mod rather than a separate gameplay concept. Its main purpose is to keep the smithing experience usable while correcting a broad set of bugs found in the older project.
The fork also targets performance problems. Instead of relying on fragile workarounds, it includes more complete fixes intended to make smithing-related interactions behave more reliably during normal play.
A compatibility patch can help mods that check for Smithing Plus recognize this fork. Toolsmith has been tested with it, although compatibility with every add-on cannot be guaranteed.
Do not use SmithingPlusPlus alongside SmithingPlus: they represent the same feature set and can conflict. A world backup is sensible before replacing one with the other.
