This mod has a FOMOD with multiple options inside of it which are easily detailed and simple to understand.
Here is the INI changes that is heavily recommended to get the water looking as good as it can be
In the falloutcustom.ini
bUseWaterReflections=1
bUseWaterRefractions=1
bUseWaterDepth=1
bUseWaterLOD=1
bReflectExplosions=0 (Can be set to 1, I just think the explosion reflections look odd)
bAutoWaterSilhouetteReflections=0 (Set to 1 if you don't use bForceHighDetailReflections below)
Add these if you don't mind a bit of a performance hit:
bUseWaterHiRes=1
bForceHighDetailReflections=1
If using ENB do not turn this setting on:
bUseWaterDisplacements=1
