Changelogs
Version 1.1.3d
Several Snaps were misplaced. These were replaced and with correct orientation. Both Star Snaps and Nova Big Wing Starboard/aft/down angled were affected.
Smaller Star Snaps had misaligned collision handles, that would intersec a structure attempting to snap. This was correct but required a new Archive for meshes
Version 1.1.3c
Minor change. A data entry was left in SMSEX that indicated it was managing Nova Small Wing Radiator. This is not the case. Removed all references to such structure in SMSEX.
I had to create a New Archive to upload to Nexus and to Creations Club, because I swear, Creation Kit wouldn't read my old archive. I hope this does NOT cause issues.
Version 1.1.3b
Removal of Deimos Radiators as Better Flips and Snaps handles it
Version 1.1.3a
minor bug fix. Deimos Wing E had a wrong kind of snap in a forward flip. It could cause decompression. Fixed
Hope Radiator double checked, I don't manage it. However I touched a file and got cooties on it. Fixed
Deimos radiator A shows working, it was double checked by wiping my data and reinstalling the mod via creations channel and via vortex. it shows as winning the conflict via Xedit <shrugs>
Version 1.1.3
I used a stick to beat things until it looked about right. Hopefully with radiator fix.
Version 1.1.2e
Re formulates Top/Bottom Door Snaps. Snaps use the coordinates of the mesh as their guide. While you can flip objects in the Creation kit to present the item in the game world, those coordinates are not what snaps use. Snaps can likewise, be flipped and rotated to match the placement of the item, but they still are using the coordinates of the mesh. This has lead to confusing behavior of snaps, where the snaps would stick, but not count as stuck on the ship builder. Other weirdness can be seen, such as snaps acting out of sych. I've edited the mesh and realigned the snaps. This seems to have solved the issues. Hab Snaps don't appear to have theis issue as they have already been edited to use a properly oriented mesh.
A check of Deimos Wing-E Flips and Snaps shows no issues. However I've found that while looking, I was missing several mesh. I was operating off of an archive. The archive was missing meshes! This was irritating as it shows that some meshes are NOT being scraped and imported by the creation kit archive builder. Instead, I've used a more manual method following the automated method. If missing meshes, let me know.
Looking for supposed missing Stroud E front/rear missing nose caps, showed that they were there, but at this point, who knows.
I
Version 1.1.2d
Yet more fixes. for Deimos Wing-E and Deimos Radiator
Taiyo Retro Thruster was missing mesh for top flip

Deimos Wing-E now has a few snaps more in line with Better Flips/Snaps
A number of top/bottom hab snaps and door snaps were orientd wrongly. This could cause parts not to stick properly. Hopefully fixed.
Version 1.1.2
Removed Stroud Cap 3L-A (long boys) as they are redundant. I've kept the vertically oriented varients
Nova Slim Radiators were "corrected" for errors created by me as I assumed I was fixing a orientation issue. This hopefully has been fixed

Version 0.6.2b
Changes in SMSEX for Better Flips and Snaps version 0.6.2
Reordered and compacted all the Snaps intofewer entries. All Hab and Door Snaps have only one side and no longer requiring flipping.
All Hab Snaps are Bi-direction for those who live on the wild side. Just Move the hab snaps or objects to the other side. It'll work.
Because of the New Hab Snap initiative, Any Hab Snaps You might be currently using on your ship builds, might need replacing.
Door Snaps (the New Coke) is fully compatible with Place Your Own Doors or Other Hab Manufacturers. As well as with Vanilla (Sorry)
Door Snaps are still invisible (sorry). I'll need to get advice from others.
Hab and Door Snaps are slightly renamed to better show their approximate size and function (this is subject to change).
Version 0.6.1
SMSEX for Better Flips/Snaps version 0.6.1b This is a beta version. While this version should be compatible with version 0.6, some interesting additions have been made.
Additions are Hab-Snaps for Doors. No, they don't make for doors, like Place Doors Yourself, It lives very comfortably with it. as well as matilija habs
Hab-Snaps for doors allows you to place a hab-snap on a door without using up the snap nor blocking the door's operation.
Hab-Snaps for doors contain door snaps in all snap points and is reversible. You don't have to flip them. The non flipping hab-snaps will be released later for all snaps.
Hab-Snaps for Doors has 5 levels of snap control. 33%, 50% 75% 100%, 125%. This allows useful glitching of cheek pieces into cockpits.
Hab-Snaps for doors are unfortunately invisible in the ship build. Only appearing when mousing over them or manipulating snappable items. I haven't figured that out yet.
Although these new hab-snaps for doors are useful for any front/rear facing module, I've placed them in its own category to maintain sanity. Recommend only using when needed.
This is why this is placed as a beta.
Version 0.6
Big Changes. Hab Snaps are selling like pancakes!
Changes include: Multiple sized Hab Snaps Original, Half a Hab (Tall and Wide), Full Width Hab Snaps on fronts and backs.
Multiple Hab Snaps for Port and Starboard (Half and Wide)

Version 0.5.2
Version 5.2 Offers a small number of hab snap choices in structures. Alas, I'm still learning the Creation kit so its only forward and rearward Snaps.
Along with the regular hab snaps, I'v also included a Full hab width set of snaps, to the very edge.
Also, I have added a Half Wide set of Snaps. Which will allow reaching halfway across a single X1 hab.
Version 0.5.1
Added two more snaps onto Gilibran's Hab Snap forward and rearward for a total of 4 snaps per side.
Version 0.5
Added Back Deimos Radiator that had been taken out. This version has more flips in it. Art asset also included

See Change Log or Forum Post
Gilibran created the mod, SMSEX a long time ago. About the time that Starfield was updated, this mod became defunct. With Gilibran's permission, JoeCoolinsc modernized it using Nifskope and uploaded it as a All in One mod. Times have changed and the Better Flips and Better Snaps mods have become a sort of standard, being made with the Creation Kit. Better flips here: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/5953
At issue is that while Better Flips is a more elegant mod, using much less data, than SMSEX, there are certain things SMSEX has that make it a good mod. I have attempted to re-cut the SMSEX mod, remove structural items and data that interferes with the proper working of Better Flips and Snaps and allow it to coexist, more or less, peacefully. This plugin should be loaded AFTER Better Flips and Snaps. Some caveats
First, if updating to this version (SMSEX Series Recut) structural items unique to SMSEX will be lost and must be replaced in the ship builder. This is due to the unique name this mod has in comparison to the old SMSEX.
Second, this plug in is a work in progress. Some items deep in the guts of the ESM need working on. It shouldn't affect your ships at all but they are messy. Because of how Vortex works, I could not just release the ESM file alone. I had to release this mod with a subset of the mesh files, created by Gilibran to allow it to be compatible with Vortex. If Gilibran or JoeCoolinsc demand I take it down, then in that case I'll only be able to post the ESM, and it will have to be a manual process to install.
Third, recent changes in Better Flips and Snaps necessitates SMSEX now be loaded after. Better Flips and Snaps has updated to add Deimos Wing B, with only one snap per side. SMSEX Wing B has three snaps on one side.
Fourth, as Gilibran has left the Starfieldmodding scene, Hopefully not for long, some aspects of the structures may have some quirks, like reversed weapon hardpoints.
Requirements, None. But if you download this file alone, without downloading Better Flips and Snaps, https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/5953 , then you are wrong.
