About this mod Machine translation
Overhauling the underwater environment and adding content to the Sea of Ghosts.
What is this model?
This mode aims to completely transform underwater flora, fauna and sight. I've always found Skyrim's underwater environments to be rather dull and empty, so this is my attempt to fix that.
IMPORTANT: This mod requires iMaxGrassGrassTypesPerTexure=7 in your Skyrim.ini file, otherwise this mod will not work.
Features:
Added new grass types, corals and giant seaweed to the ghost sea.
Added over 1000 fish at sea (without slaughter).
Added dozens of unmarked treasures and points of interest for you to find.
Add a vibrant coral forest.
Added a group of swimmers crossing the sea.
Fixed over 100 instances of exposed rocks
Repair seabed seams
Installation: 1.

Q&A:
Q: Is this compatible with the X water mod?
Answer: Yes.
Q: Will this enhance other modes of Ocean?
A: For the most part, yes, although there won't be new fish or giant seaweed. (Changes made by this mod will not apply when the mod uses proprietary undersea LandTextures)
Q: Sometimes my underwater grass disappears depending on the angle I'm looking at?
Answer: This is an engine issue that also occurs with default Kelp and other modes such as Skyrim Flora Overhaul's Lupine. There's nothing we can do until we provide the source code to Creation Engine. Giant kelp is placed by hand to avoid these problems.
Q: Will this affect my performance?
Answer: Yes, but the change should be negligible.
Q: Does this mod use scripts?
Answer: No, this mod is scriptless.
Q: Will this mod add Dragonborn Waves to my shore?
Answer: No, I decided not to implement these for compatibility reasons. They come with Realistic Water Two, which can be downloaded separately here.
Q: Will this mod add anything above sea level?
A: A few small things, although nothing that will interfere with other mods.
Q: Can you recommend feature X?
Answer: Absolutely! Feel free to share your thoughts in the posts section.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- 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.
