📋 About This Mod
GKB Waves is an awesome mod that adds waves to seashore in skyrim. I use this mod to complement Water for ENB mod. It is just unfortunate that this mod does'nt cover all skyrim seashore (only up to solitude) and the mod itself hasn't updated for almost 4 years. So i decided to make this and share it here.
I have added waves to almost all skyrim seashore from solitude onward to the east area where i think there should be waves and i have added waves to soltsheim replacing the vanilla wave.
i tried to make this as realistic as possible, but you might not find this perfect to represent real waves. Nevertheless this looks quite good at least for me
