Animated Ice Floes - Dynamic

Ice floes are bobbing now. Using assets from Isoku's Realistic Water Two Legendary Edition.
Ofcourse, i have permission to use them. But credits to him for making these assets a long time ago.
Plugin is esl flagged and does not require Realistic Water to work. Mod is standalone and compatible with everything.
Just install with favorite mod manager. Meshes will use the textures from ice mods you use. Mod also comes with it's own "cracking" sound FX and volume slider for it can be found in "settings" menu.
Thats it and nothing more.
Thank you Capt. Panda for your amazing Showcase on this mod!!

Highly recommended mod to use alongside this is Icy Mesh Remaster.
I highly recommend to check this mod out. Animated Ice Floes - LOD Textures Patch.
And ofcourse for Waterfalls..... Natural Waterfalls.
I highly recommend to use Animated Icebergs alongside this mod. They compliment each other perfectly!
Enjoy!!!
Make absolutely sure that you have the latest versions of these two mods installed in order to have Animated Ice Floes work correctly!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (4,339 endorsements, 2.2M downloads).
- Subtle but impactful—makes frozen lakes feel alive.
- Simple, focused mod that does one thing well.
⚠️ Cons
- No detailed description—you get what you see, no extra features.
- May conflict with other water or ice overhaul mods.
- Requires testing for compatibility with your load order.
For Skyrim players who want a touch of realism without overhauling the game. If you're a visual purist who notices static ice, this is a must-have. Skip if you're after gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting other ice mods.
- Place this mod after other water/ice overhauls in your load order to ensure the animation applies.
- Check for patches if you use mods like 'Realistic Water Two' or 'Cathedral Water'.
