🎯 Tips & Tricks
Pick the 2k version if you're on a mid-range GPU — 8k can cause stuttering in water-heavy areas like Riften.
Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily switch between resolution options and uninstall if needed.
Load this mod early in your load order (after unofficial patches) to ensure other water mods don't overwrite it.
