📋 About This Mod
OVERVIEW
SKSE plugin which fixes the sky in reflections.
Skyrim uses a cubemap for reflections in water to reflect mountains, trees, the sky and more.
For some reason, the vanilla game centres the sky models on the position of the player, rather than the position of the camera. This screws up the internal math used for object coordinates, leading to sky models moving around wildly as you move the camera, and completely breaks sky reflections when moving the camera away from the player, e.g. zooming out slightly in third-person, using the tfc console command, or Photo Mode.
This mod fixes this by making it use the camera position instead.
Water reflections, wetness, dynamic cubemaps and image-based lighting effects should be fixed with this mod installed.
An option is provided in the ReShade add-ons menu to disable the fix in-game to compare results.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 10,389 endorsements and 2M downloads — clearly a must-have for ENB users.
- Tiny plugin that does one job and does it well, no bloat or extra settings to fiddle with.
- Updated recently (Feb 2024), so it's likely compatible with current Skyrim versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Only fixes sky reflections — if you're after other reflection improvements, this won't help.
- Requires SKSE, so if you're not using SKSE or ENB, this mod is pointless.
- No detailed description or documentation provided by the author, so you're on your own for troubleshooting.
For Skyrim players who use ENB and notice that the sky looks wrong in water or other reflective surfaces. If you're a modder who wants a quick, reliable fix without extra features, this is for you. Skip if you don't use ENB or SKSE.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SKSE installed and launch the game through SKSE, not the vanilla launcher, or the plugin won't load.
- Place the plugin file in your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install it.
- If you're using an ENB preset, this fix works alongside it — no need to tweak ENB settings.
