Original address:

Prefix:

Far Harbor DLC

Updated Chinese address on July 10, 2026:

Updated on October 18th:

Version 2.1

Changed the water around the old waterway drain so that sinkholes use the water shader around the drain.

Added FOMOD installer with option to install ESP or ESM plug-ins/BA2 or Loose resources.

Updated on October 15th:

Version 2.0

Replaced water sounds with custom sounds (thanks to perchik71) and fixed output model to prevent overlapping water sounds (also thanks to perchik71).

Retextured Far Harbor's foam to blue instead of green, then used that as the base for most of the foam effects.

The waterfall, old gullet sinkhole, and wave meshes have been updated and changed to use better Far Harbor foam textures. It's worth noting that the waves now will look more similar to those in Far Harbor.

Enhanced vanilla water improves upon the vanilla water body without deviating from the vanilla style.

What to include:

Water noise retexturing using ENB's heightmap.

Changed the water sound, as the vanilla one has a distinct repeating pattern that can be annoying once you hear it.

The water is slightly transparent/reflective in places.

The water LOD has been greatly improved and is seamless for the default water type.

A water gap discovered near the exterior of Vault 88 during testing was fixed.

ESL tagged ESM.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
