📋 About This Mod

NOTICE:

Acoustic Space Improvement Fixes now has a Skypatcher version, I recommend using that instead of one of my combo patches. That way, all you need is a combo patch for Water for ENB and your lighting mod, which more likely than not already exists elsewhere.

These patches provide conflict resolution for Water for ENB, Acoustic Space Improvement Fixes and popular lighting mods.

So far, there are patches for Lux, ELFX Shadows (Enhancer), ELFX Shadows (HARDCORE) and Enhanced Lighting for ENB (ELE).

The cell edits primarily prioritize the lighting mods edits , Water for ENB's cubemaps, and the acoustic records from

Acoustic Space Improvement Fixes.

Fixes from USSEP have been forward where necessary, but my patches do not require it.

My recommended load order:

Acoustic Space Improvement Fixes

(any Acoustic Space Fixes addons)

Lighting Mod

(lighting mod addons and patches)

Water For ENB

Made for the Enhancer option, will only work with the ELFXEnhancer.esp from the ELFX Shadows FOMOD. Not to be used with standard ELFX Shadows or ELFX Hardcore.
