✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 1,060 endorsements and nearly half a million downloads
- 4K textures from 3D scans give lilypads a realistic look
- Lightweight retexture that doesn't add new meshes or scripts
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers lilypads from mods like Waterplants SE, not vanilla lilypads
- Last updated in 2019, so may not be tested with the latest Skyrim SE updates
- Requires a mod that adds lilypads (like Waterplants SE) to see any effect
For Skyrim SE players who use water plant mods and want high-res lilypads that blend seamlessly. If you don't use such mods, this won't do anything for you. Skip if you're on a low-end PC, as 4K textures can impact performance.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have a mod like Waterplants SE installed first, otherwise you won't see any lilypads.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this retexture easily.
- If you experience performance issues, consider using the 2K version if available, or adjust your texture quality settings.
