📋 About This Mod
I always thought Obsidian Weathers was the best weather mod for SSE by a long shot. However the mod "disabled" changes you'd get from watercolor mods, such as RWT2 Watercolor or Skyland Water.
The reason this happens is because Obsidian Weathers .esp changes water multiplier values and makes the water dark no matter the load order.
I reversed those values back to vanilla so now you can use watercolor mods and actually see a difference.
Disclaimer: make sure to place this patch AFTER all other patches you have for Obsidian (towards the bottom of your load order).
The most important mod to override is the Obsidian-True Storms patch which contains water multiplier values from Obsidian.
This patch for Skyrim Special Edition restores vanilla water multiplier values from Obsidian Weathers, allowing watercolor mods like RWT2 Watercolor to work properly. It's a simple load-order fix for players who want both Obsidian's weather and vibrant water colors.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 436 endorsements and over 7.5k downloads
- Solves a real problem: Obsidian's water values override watercolor mods regardless of load order
- Lightweight patch that does exactly what it says, no bloat
⚠️ Cons
- Requires manual load order management; if you forget to place it correctly, it won't work
- Only affects water visuals, so if you're not using a watercolor mod, this is pointless
- Last updated in 2020, so it may not be compatible with newer versions of Obsidian or RWT2
For Skyrim players who love Obsidian Weathers but want their water to actually reflect watercolor mods like RWT2. If you're using Obsidian and have given up on water colors, this patch is a must. Skip if you don't use watercolor mods or prefer dark water.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place this patch at the very bottom of your load order, after all other Obsidian patches, especially the Obsidian-True Storms patch.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, set this patch to load last to ensure it overrides water values.
- Test in-game by swimming in a lake or river to see the water color change immediately.
