About this mod Machine translation

Compatible with all water texture alternatives!

I think we can all agree that water in Fallout 4 isn't the most pleasing thing to look at.

I wonder if I can change it.

This mod brings you increased blue tint and more translucent shoreline water. Inland waterways like creeks, puddles, and ponds are more translucent than deep water like lakes, rivers, and oceans. Indoor cell waters will also be more clear and less stained since they are typically only ankle to waist deep.

This module achieves its best appearance when used in conjunction with WET - Water Enhanced Texture/.ini settings for Water Enhancement and Realistic Water Reflections.

It is highly recommended that you use ENB and/or shader suites.

Even if you don't use this mod you should use ENB/shaders, let's be honest.

Real talk:

I've never tried editing water records in xEdit (for any game), but the variables in FO4Edit don't make much sense to me. For example, changing the underwater fog distance tends to make surface waves move very fast. I initially tried copying some data from Skyrim, but inserting them into the same records in Fallout produced very bad results. Yellow, purple, bright blue or foggy white water happened so many times it was like an LSD trip.

In the end, I only edited two values ​​and I can't tell you why they gave the results they did.

Fog attribute - above water - fog distance - near plane

Fog attributes - above the water surface - fog distance - far plane

I only edited these two entries, but modifying anything in the water record will conflict. Retextures are fully compatible.

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.
