W.A.T.E.R has been renewed and upgraded to take advantage of the latest hardware. I know people were happy with the old mod, but I never had the time to really sit down and get it up to my high standards. I still don't have enough time, but I have simply negated that problem by taking my sweet time with everything. The mod in its new form has taken me months, and is now simply the most comprehensive water mod out there in terms of content. W.A.T.E.R was always about enhanced effects first and then making Skyrim's waters look great. This does not mean I focus on one thing, it just means I always put the most work into the most challenging area (because quite frankly it's needed). Simply put, everything still comes together for one of the richest and highest fidelity water modifications you will find for Skyrim.

Main Features

Completely revamped water surface flow, with new higher quality water textures
Worldspace edits are now included and define areas like ponds more realistically
Placement of animated waves around Skyrim from the Dragonborn DLC
Remastered texture effects sourced from realistic 3D particle simulations
Freshly-made 3D model effects, bug fixes, and tweaks. Everything now simply looks better
Performance tweaks to balance out the new editions, smarter display of effects and files
Optional W.A.T.E.R Plants plugin

Full List

Remade plugins for water surface flow included for the base game and all official DLC
