Water detail

Post » Sat Feb 19, 2011 1:52 pm

Hello. I just have a question. Are there any mods which greatly enhance Oblivion's water? All the mods I have seen still retain the 'soupy' look to it. Are there any ones that make it similar to Fallout 3's or more realistic/sea like and less like a plastic wrap modifier from Photoshop?

I'd like to know too. Especially reflections look awful in the distance. I recall seeing some kind of mod that improves that but I can't remember what it was.

Maybe the Oblivion Graphics Extender can do something? The Morrowind Graphics Extender made crazy improvements to Morrowind's water, making it better than Oblivion's current water. I'd love to see waves, or at least less blocky reflections in the distance, for Oblivion's water.

Enhanced water and the SI version are I think the best out there.....

http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/theelderscrollsivoblivion/mod/22090.html is the one you're thinking of. Downside of it is that you lose near-distance water quality.

http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=23064 is one of the best water mods out right now, but is still limited to working on the existing water. To move beyond that, we'll have to keep our eyes on the OBGE development thread :)
