I will keep this mod up but it is unlikely there will be any more updates.
Description
This mod is a simple line change in the source code of Distant Terrain (https://www.nexusmods.com/daggerfallunity/mods/128) to remove the massive lakes when used with World of Daggerfall-Terrain (https://www.nexusmods.com/daggerfallunity/mods/249). The mod is the same as the original and so only one should be installed. All credit to NystulTheMagician who made the original mod, they did all of the work, this is a small change to their mod.
As a disclaimer, I should say that I am not a programmer of any sort and this fix was suggested with the use of claude AI. Because of this, I make no guarantee that this mod works 100% on every machine with any given load order. It was meant to only fix Distant Terrain to work with World of Daggerfall - Terrain by changing "float extraWaterTranslation" in the source code.
version only for Windows.
Installation instructions
Place the .dfmod in your StreamingAssets/mods folder. Load Distant Terrain first and World of Daggerfall - Terrain after in your load order.
Main features
Distant terrain is a cool but way outdated mod. Its the best in my opinion to convey the truly massive scale of TES:II. But the original mod has not been updated in several years and new terrain mods have since then come out, and they do not play nice with Distant Terrain. I think its safe to say pretty much everyone is using World of Daggerfall and the terrain that accompanies it. But because it modifies the terrain, it does not play nice with Distant Terrain.
What you get are massive lakes in the valleys between mountains that do not actually exist. Pretty, but not actually there. This is what has been changed from the original mod. All features from the original mod are the same.
Requirements
None technically, this should work exactly as the original with the benefit of working with WoD
