✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (2,581 endorsements, 1.2M downloads) — this is a proven mod.
- Subtle but effective: makes water bodies feel alive without overdoing it.
- Simple and lightweight — no heavy scripts or textures, so it won't tank your FPS.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2023 — might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other water mods.

- If you use ENB, check that the water reflections don't conflict with the animated lilies — adjust your ENB settings if needed.
