📋 About This Mod
Green Water Fix v2. 0 Compatible
Description =========== This mod makes visible some underwater which have the "zero visibility of underwater" problem.
Notice: If you don't have "totally blind underwater" problem", this mod do NOTHING. This mod is NOT made to change underwater from blurry view to clear one.
Details ======= This mod DOES NOT normalize "underwater". Only making it visible. Original underwater blurring will be lost.
What It Does ============= Enable in UnderwaterImageSpace>Depth of field>No Sky
Load Order =========== 1. Anywhere, in case of Vanilla.
2. After "Water mod".
for example -------------------------------- WATER.esp (GetWet.esp) (etc.) GreenWaterFix_Compatible.esp -------------------------------- -------------------------------- Purewaters.esp (etc.) GreenWaterFix_Compatible.esp --------------------------------
Known Issues or Bugs ==================== If your savegame doesn't work with this mod, fast travel to far place several times. And try console command "PCB" (Purge Cell Buffer) in interior cell, and after, fast travel to somewhere. It's for updating cell data.
Incompatibility =============== This mod conflicts any mod changes "UnderwaterImageSpace". But enabling those mod's "Depth of Field>No Sky" in CK by yourself, it's all compatible. When you do so, no need to use my mod. Make sure to deactivate it.
About "bDoDepthOfField" in "SkyrimPrefs.ini" in your "My Games" folder ======================================================================= "bDoDepthOfField=0" setting also makes underwater visible. But you will lose your ENB settings of DoF. And also it makes your underwater no color, and no blur. So, I recommend you "bDoDepthOfField=1" when using my mod. If you choose "bDoDepthOfField=0" setting, please deactivate my mod. It doesn't need any more.
