Requires Dragonborn DLC
After Checking the Whole Nexus I couln't find a mod that added Waves from Solstheim to Skyrim and since it seemed strange that no one yet did , I decided to do ... perhaps I have missed some other mods that already did that , but if there is I didn't find ... so here it is ...
All waves are placed with logical sense , you will not find oceanic waves around island with waves coming from inland , you won't find waves among icebergs , they all follow the possible natural impact of the ocean , leaving untouched protected inlands and fjords.
There are Two versions
Version 1 Vanilla 512x512 Texture
Version 3 HD 2048x2048 Texture
Version 4 HD 2048x2048 Texture and Water Splash

Compatibilities:
Water and other mods
"If you would like to use Waves and WATER together you can. On the WATER page download the Dragonborn add-on (make sure you have the main WATER file installed too) and use the WATER DB.esp plugin option only. This has no waves so compatibility with Waves will be optimal" By Sparrowprince. Author of Water mod
The same can be said of other mods like Pure waters or else...

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 7,721 endorsements and over 200k downloads
- Lightweight and simple—just drop it in and enjoy the waves
- Enhances coastal areas without overhauling the whole game
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013—might not play nice with the latest Skyrim patches
- Only affects coastal areas, so if you don't spend time near the sea, you won't see much
For Skyrim players who want a quick visual upgrade to coastal regions without a heavy mod. If you're a screenshot enthusiast or just love the ocean, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or if you play on a modded setup that might conflict with older mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's from 2013, check if your Skyrim version is compatible—if you're on Special Edition, you might need to convert the mod.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to keep track of files and avoid overwriting other coastal mods.
- If you have other mods that edit coastlines, load Waves after them to ensure the waves appear correctly.
