📋 About This Mod

General water texture and animation improvements. Three options to choose from: standard, tropical, and canon!

  • []Default Preem Water (now called Pure) has increased normal texture intensity and lower scale for a crisp surface and more natural world scale.

    []Tropical Preem Water has entirely different light scattering, from depth to sun reflectivity, and a tropical color. It also has reduced animation speed with lower refraction to let you see closer to the ocean floor. I've also taken inspiration from user crubino and removed some of the trash from the seabed and shoreline.

    []Canon Preem Water is the closest version to vanilla with a few significant changes; surface reflectivity has been reduced for less shiny reflections, the scatter depth reduced for a muddier look, wave size has been increased, animation slowed, and normal intensity reduced to give the waters surface a less appealing look.

    In addition to the water property changes, I've also reformed the water flow mesh from the sewers and altered the properties to better match the surface. Unfortunately, the animated particles are stuck with a metallic property (for now) and lack translucency so they don't exactly look like water. I have also adjusted the world WaterMap which fixes the intensity of the waves in certain areas of the map.

    Version 1. 0 sliders (now outdated but still available to download):

    MORE COMING SOON! They are a lot of work to make. 😅

    Installation:

    Use Vortex (recommended) or manually install by just dragging and dropping the contents of the zip to the Cyberpunk 2077 root folder.

    • []For GOG it should be something like "C:\Games\Cyberpunk 2077\

    • For Steam it should be something like "C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Cyberpunk 2077\

  • Simple texture swap—no gameplay impact, just better water

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in September 2023—may not be tested with the latest game patches
  • Only affects water visuals; if you're after broader graphical overhauls, this is niche

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a texture mod, you can install it manually by dropping files into the game's archive folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex makes it easier to switch between the four options.
  • If you're on PC, make sure you have the latest version of Cyberpunk 2077 and any required mod loaders (like ArchiveXL) if the mod needs them—though the description doesn't mention any, so it might work standalone.
  • Try each water option in different weather conditions and times of day to see which one looks best to you—Tropical might pop in sunny scenes, while Canon fits the game's original vibe.
