glass of water

Revolutionize your water quality without compromising performance!

introduce

This module is a texture replacer for another module I uploaded previously. It supports 8K, 4K, 2K, 1K and 512x image sizes. The purpose of this mod is simply to transform the very bad and boring water in Skyrim into something more realistic and lifelike.

performance

This part is easy, if you choose a 2K (SSE) or 1K (LE) texture there is 0 impact on performance

This can be done by editing the texture that controls the water's normal map to make it more realistic, and also by editing the rendering of the water (i.e. adding reflections), so if you download the texture it won't have any impact on your game if it's not higher than the game's normal resolution (if you download the 512x version it might actually improve performance, but still look better)

why exists

Look, I've heard it in the comments section, I've made water models and there are so many water models around. To be honest but I honestly don't play ENB so water has always been an issue for me which is why I keep going back to water models because I still want to perfect something.

Will this be the final texture replacement?

The simple answer is no, but, that's because everyone has their own preference (I personally prefer plain water), but I know this belief is not universal, so I will be posting more of these to suit each style (mostly determined by suggestions and comments on how this is done)

Do you need real water?

Well, no, but they are made of each other, and to get the full effect, this is the only way

Does this work with RW2 or Pure Waters

yes

Image gallery (not using ENB)

compatibility

Should be compatible with all mods - but will override some elements of water mods

Install

Download it using the mod manager and install it like any other mod, making sure it covers other water mods.

(manually) into the /DATA folder of the Skyrim directory

uninstall

Uninstall any mod as with your Mod Manager

Yes, this does work for ENB (photo attached)

support

It would be amazing if you could make suggestions so I can improve this mod

Introduction

This mod is a texture replacer for another mod I have previously uploaded It supports 8K, 4K, 2K, 1K and 512x Image sizes. The aim of this mod is simply to transform the very bad and boring water in Skyrim too much more lifelike and vibrant one.

Performance

This part is simple there is 0 effect to performance if you choose the 2K (SSE) or 1K (LE) textures

This is done by editing the textures that control the normal maps of water to be more lifelike and also editing the rendering of such water (I.E ramping up the reflection) therefore if you don't download a texture that is above your games normal resolution there will be no effect on your game (If you download 512x version it might actually increased performance and still look better)

Why does this exist

Look I can already hear it in the comments section that I have already made a water mod and there are too many water mods around. This true but honestly I don't play with an ENB so water has always been a problem for me which is why I keep coming back to water mods because I still want to perfect things.

Will this be the last texture replacer

Simple answer no, however, this is because everyone has there own preference (personally I prefer more flat water) however I know that this belief is not universal so I will be releasing more of these to fit every style (dictated mainly by suggestions and comments, how this was made)

Do you need real water

Well no however they were made for each other and to get the full effect it is the only way

Does this work with RW2 or Pure Waters

Yes
