It is also not compatible with any mod that changes the fog (so the author says). The result of these conflicts is that PW's transparency is negated.nothing major, but it's a big part of the mod. The one down side to these changes, is that it makes PW conflict with several weather and lighting mods. This is mainly to achieve its transparency effects and in an attempt to be more 'pure'. PW changes most of the vanilla values for fog, reflectivity, refraction, colors, and speculars. TESVedit shows us that while WATER carries over most of the default values from vanilla, Pure Water does not. Here's my TESVedit analysis of both mods: I'll also be provide a more detailed analysis of both mods in regards to changes they make. I'm planning on doing another video within the next week with different locations around Skyrim and will post it here. You could see straight to the bottom where such clarity it was like the water wasn't even there though, the water was nearly 12 feet deep! I can recall a summer camp one year in my youth with a river that you could go kayaking on. You can still find many place like that here in Oklahoma. Back in these times, the waters were often very clear and you had no issues seeing to the bottom of most rivers. The Skyrim environment is one that was before industrialization. Personally, I like extra transparency because I find it realistic. A meshing of the two would be perfect however, taking in the overall scene and other criteria, PW wins for me. When it comes down to it, I like certain parts of WATER and certain parts of PW.

This is realist because the water is only hip to chest deep)

Pure Water (notice the rocks in front of the second waterfall. Pure Water (notice the shore line fixes here from WATER and PW over vanilla)ĩ. Water (only real difference here are the ripples from the geysers)Ĩ. The other too are flowing too fast for such an inlet.)ĥ. Pure Waters (feels more realistic around this dock. So there is proof that Pure Waters does amend some flow directions.Ģ. Pure Water corrected this by changing the flow direction in this area to be more realistic. It's completely unrealistic because water doesn't flow like that in a river. The flow direction should be from my back to my front however, you'll notice that it is from side to side (shore to shore) in both vanilla and in WATER. In this scene there is a waterfall behind me and the river in front. Case in point is the 4th compare in the video, and it's the reason I included it. Pure Waters has to amend some flow directions too.
