- Requires separate patches if you use other forge retextures not covered
- No ESP means no MCM or in-game config—what you see is what you get
For Skyrim players who want a simple, performance-friendly visual upgrade to forge water without adding plugin overhead. Ideal for mod lists focused on immersion and visual polish. Skip if you're not interested in minor cosmetic details or if you use a comprehensive overhaul that already covers forge water.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's mesh-only, just drop the files into your Data folder or use your mod manager—no plugin order to worry about.
- If you use Elsopa's or Embers, grab the corresponding patch to ensure compatibility.
- Check for conflicts with other mods that replace forge meshes; load order for meshes is determined by file overwrite, so place this after other mesh mods.
