📋 About This Mod
Rapid Rocks
replaces the rapid rocks, seen in some waters with high poly photogrammetry meshes and textures.
Comes in 2 versions:
1. Normal version
2. Grey version
Your support means the world to me
Note that the grey version also turns 5 rocks from "photogrammetry rocks" and 1 rock from "3d rocks" grey.
Grey version needs to be below those mods in the load order.
Giving the grey ones a new folder would result in a fps loss depending on you Gpu. That's why I decided against it.

You can see them near the riverwood lumbermill.
The "before" rocks are 8k textures with cubemaps like in enhanced wetness and puddles. So not too shabby either.
Compatibility:
- The mod uses assets of "photogrammetry rocks" and "Skyrim 3d Rocks"
The are just packed again in this mod for your convenience.
If asked to overwrite, then overwrite.
Load order with these mods doesn't matter.
You get baked Ambient occlusion, higher quality or better file size for some of "photogrammetry rocks" with my mod as the latest though.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 5,615 endorsements and 1.2M downloads
- High-poly photogrammetry means rocks look photorealistic
- Simple, focused mod that does one thing well
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects rapid rocks, not all water rocks
- May require a powerful GPU for the high-poly meshes
- Last updated in 2023, so potential compatibility with newer Skyrim versions is uncertain
For Skyrim players who want more realistic water environments and don't mind a performance hit. If you're a screenshot enthusiast or love photorealistic landscapes, this is a must-have. Skip if you're on a low-end PC or want broader rock overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips

- Check your load order to ensure no other mods conflict with rapid rock textures.
