📋 About This Mod

THIS MOD IS NOT AI-UPSCALED.
Available sizes 2K, 4K, and 8K
8K Resolution is not recommended for normal gameplay, CTDs are possible
UPDATE 2/21/2018
-- Nuka World should be compatible. Message if issues are still present.
-- Seam issues should be fixed, if found, please feel free to message me.
-- I heavily toned down the foam located at ocean views. The foam in-game never looked right to me, now they are hardly visible. If anyone would prefer to keep the original foam, let me know, and I will upload a separate version.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (15,877 endorsements) — this is a proven visual upgrade
- Massive download count (511k) shows it's a go-to for water improvements
- Flexible resolution options let you balance quality and performance
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018 — may not be optimized for newer game versions or mods
- High-res 8k textures can tank performance on lower-end rigs
For Skyrim players who want sharper, more realistic water without messing with complex ENBs or gameplay overhauls. If you're a screenshot enthusiast or just tired of blurry vanilla water, this is a quick win. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or if your GPU struggles with high-res textures.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Pick the 2k version if you're on a mid-range GPU — 8k can cause stuttering in water-heavy areas like Riften.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily switch between resolution options and uninstall if needed.
- Load this mod early in your load order (after unofficial patches) to ensure other water mods don't overwrite it.
