📋 About This Mod
Both TR_data and OAAB_data are using some fake-water meshes to make ponds of waters or rivers where the CS doesn't allow it since water has a fixed z-level.
-
[]OAAB is using a custom HD texture;
- [
Now, both clash with vanilla water when using the original water textures, as you can see in the screenshots.
I simply repackaged vanilla water textures so both OAAB_Data and TR_Data are going to use vanilla textures, for consistency.
Of course this is a "niche" mod, only useful to those who like and use the original water textures.
This mod replaces the water textures on fake-water meshes from Tamriel Rebuilt and OAAB data with vanilla Morrowind textures. It's a simple compatibility fix for players who prefer the original look. With 62 endorsements and 759 downloads, it's a niche utility last updated in November 2021.
