📋 About This Mod
Description
I really like the Blacksmith Forge Water Fix, but I never liked the compatibility factor required. Moving existing forges or adding in new forges always required a patch to adjust the water. I wanted a single patch that accounted for my current load order and put all the water exactly where it needed to go. So I ended up creating an xEdit script to do just that!
All you need to do is run the xEdit script and a customized version of BFWF will be generated for your load order.
Synthesis Installation
Install the meshes first. Load the patch from the download section, or install it from Synthesis and run it with the rest of your patches.
xEdit Installation
Install the meshes first. Put the xEdit script into your xEdit script folder and run xEdit. Make sure you load every mod. Right click on any mod on the left window and click "Apply Script". Select the "Blacksmith Forge Water Patch" script and run it. Once you enter in a filename a custom patch will be generated and tailored to your load order. Close xEdit and save your new plugin.
You can re-create the patch at any time.
NOTE
DO NOT hold shift while loading xEdit. If you bypass building references this script will not function correctly.
Compatibility
Realistic Water Two - RWT has it's own version of the water fix. I've created a patch that will disable that water so that your generated patch will take over once created. If you use this patch you do not need to use the MCM options in the RWT MCM menu.
rolloLG - Created the original Blacksmith Forge Water Fix and allowed me to upload my own version.
Mator - Without his scripts as a reference I would have never figured this stuff out
ElminsterAU - xEdit and his script guide were a godsend
