IMPORTANT UPDATE
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Due to my overzealous cleaning of this esp, some records SSE needs are not there. This normally causes no problems unless the esp is dead last in your load order ..... since this one might be please update to:
Leaf Rest 1. 01 Water Override FIXED
These missing records cause much of Skyrim to be under water ....... sorry if this caused wasted troubleshooting time for you.....
Description
>>>>>>>>>>
Leaf Rest SSE by Mnikjom is a lovely home and its one of the few that makes watercourse edits. This is a problem if you also load Realistic Water 2 by Isoku as RW2 mod assumes no watercourse edits.
You could load Leaf Rest after RW2 at the end of your load order but Isoku doesn't recommend this.
This mod patches the water records to an override.
Yes you still need BOTH mods and no I didn't make them .... all credit goes to the mod authors.
This is the only mod besides DynDOlod that should load after RW2 unless you like water seams.
