📋 About This Mod

Remade and enhanced Loki's Wade In Water which slows actors in water at an engine level, with support for SSE and AE in one DLL.

This mod is functionally equivalent but with smooth transitions between different states, implementing slowing at an engine level rather than via spells.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have the correct SKSE version for your Skyrim build (SE or AE) – the mod's DLL works for both, but SKSE must match.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install – it'll handle the plugin file placement automatically.
  • If you're on AE, ensure your game is updated to the latest version that SKSE supports, then install the mod after SKSE.
