resolution

The mod's resolutions range from 4K to 1K, but not all maps require maximum quality, so each map has a different resolution - the name relates to the size of the maximum resolution normal map.

compatibility

This mod only edits the form of static water, so it will only override those items, meaning you can (and are advised to) run it with your current water mod.

performance

As with almost any mod, you want good performance - however, I've optimized the size of these textures so this mod shouldn't be a performance issue.

Loading order

Make sure to put the other water components above the load order in the order of my other water components

For modders

Feel free to use this mod in your mods, just make sure you depend on this mod (you know what I mean)

A note to those who use my other mods

My mod uses 5+ normal maps - my mods use different combinations of these normal maps (usually around 2), the normals in the file you download are necessary for the mod to work properly - so it doesn't matter if the files overlap as they are exactly the same

ESL has ESP tagged so it does not increase the ESP limit

FAQ

Will I turn this into a big mod: Yes, once I finish all the mods.
