Customization (manual):<br />

There are five water surface files in this mod, which pertain to five categories. All are located in datatextureswater.<br />

<br />

defaultwater.dds = puddle/slow water<br />

ocean.dds = ocean water<br />

river.dds = river water<br />

creek.dds = creek water<br />

lake.dds = lake water<br />

<br />

-Folders 10 through 33 are water surface textures that differ slightly from the default. For example, "LessLight" causes that particular surface to have less light reflectivity and "Shallower" causes the waves to be shallower than the default. To install place the textures folder in your Data folder and overwrite. You should have five water surface textures in Datatextureswater at all times.<br />

<br />

-Folders 40 through 42 are the underwater options. "Crystal Clear" causes both the water surface and underwater to become very clear. If you prefer the vanilla underwater view, take the esp file from "Vanilla Underwater" and place it in your Data folder. Overwrite.<br />

<br />

-"Reduce Object Splashing" reduces the excessive splashing of objects on the water surface. "Ocean Foam" uses an older version of my foam. To install place the textures folder in your Data folder and overwrite.<br />

<br />

-Screens for some options can be found in the fomod folder.<br />

<br />

If you don't care for customization the full package includes five textures made by me as seen in the video below. Just install and play.
