📋 About This Mod
Frostfall and Sink or Swim have an incompatibility that prevents wetness from going up when walking underwater in heavy armor; this patch fixes that.
Simple enough to do; replaced all IsSwimming condition checks in Frostfall with a GetGlobalValue condition check, then attached a script to the MGEFs of Sink or Swim to set the globals as 1/0 when active/inactive. This allows Frostfall's wetness detection system to recognize a submerged player as underwater even if not necessarily swimming when wearing heavy armor.
Load after both Frostfall and Sink Or Swim.
This is a patch; it doesn't function on its own. Obviously you need to download both mods first.
This patch resolves an incompatibility between Frostfall and Sink or Swim, ensuring wetness increases when walking underwater in heavy armor. A small, focused fix for players using both mods, with 113 endorsements and over 61k downloads.
