📋 About This Mod
First of all, sorry for my poor English, it's not my native language. Hope you can get what I mean.
It's a color preset for water for enb(only shades of skyrim option) by Mindflux in nexus. For personal taste, I try to achieve the balance between fantasy and realism. You can see what it will look like in image link.
I highly recommend to use it with tkv enb which is avaliable in Toxic's discord, for this mod is tested with that enb.

Q: My water looks really ugly when using this mod.
A: It's normal. Honestly I think the original water for enb is perfect enough, this preset is only designed for certain enb.
Q: Lore friendly?
A: tkv with nat3. 03, which is available in toxic's discord.
Q: Other mods used in screenshots?
A: I don't know. those pictures are not taken by me. Sorry.
