KEY CHANGES:

[color=orange]Thoroughly recommended[/color] to use the [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/8655/?]Static Mesh Improvement Mod (SMIM)[/url] on top of my mod to get nice new and improved windmill sails! Many thanks to Brumbek for creating those! [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/4kV765s.png[/img] [size=5][color=yellow][b] [u] =Updating= [/u] [/b][/color][/size][/center]

[b]For updating please use an interior save![/b]

[b]When updating from version 2.0 or earlier, I recommend you perform the following in an attempt to prevent old references from sticking in your save (Version 3.0beta and up is a completely different mod!):

  1. Go to an interior that has no waterfalls.
  2. Create a new save and quit the game
  3. Remove my old version.
  4. Load the new save.
  5. Create a new save again and quit the game
  6. Install my new version
  7. Load the new save from 5 and enjoy the game.[/b] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/4kV765s.png[/img] [size=5][b][color=yellow][u] =Mod description= [/u][/color][/b][/size]

[size=2][b]I am proud to say that this mod is part of [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/11/?]S.T.E.P.[/url] An extensive and excellent graphical modding guide [url=http://wiki.step-project.com/STEP:2.2.9](v 2.2.9)[/url] as well as a community of dedicated expert modders who are very helpful if you have any problems. I thoroughly recommend registering for their [url=http://forum.step-project.com/]community forum[/url].[/b][/size]

Ever wondered why distant waterfalls turn into ugly ice cubes? I did. I was disappointed to find no mods available that fixed this issue, only mods that changed the ugly ice cubes for slightly less ugly ones. It was claimed waterfalls could not be distantly animated. So here it is, animated waterfalls at a distance! And I also distantly animated windmills and waterwheels along the way.

What I have done since version 3 of my mod:

In essence I literally replaced all Waterfalls for 2 new ones (manually). One low quality will be rendered as full LOD, and another full detail one for close by.

[b][color=orange]Note:[/color][/b] Some people mention [url=http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19446/?] The Skyrim Distance Overhaul LOD Improvement /url by Grieche. I use this mod in all my images and my video. It is a brilliant mod, [b]recommended[/b] by me, but it does not render distant waterfalls animated, because simply ticking the "is full LOD" box on the old static waterfalls does not work! The SDO mod compliments my mod real nice, also the optional waterfall effects file! (Makes things like the steam on bottom of waterfalls and the rapids fully animated in the distance) [b][color=orange]There is a patch included in my FOMOD/BAIN installer. It can also be found under my optional file section[/color][/b]

This mod does NOT contain scripts of any kind, and should therefore not cause save bloating. I recommend running this mod, or just Skyrim in general really, in combination with [url=http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/38649//?]ENBoost[/url].

[size=2]I personally [color=orange]RECOMMEND[/color] the use of [url= http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/1334/?]Mod Organizer (MO)[/url]. An excellent tutorial series can be found [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OztWyi35nhM&list=PLlN8weLk86XhKKC5c-XgOcOqR5VjPuHCl]HERE[/url]. Enjoy the headache free world of Skyrim modding.[/size]

I suggest you download any version using either [url= http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/modmanager/?]Nexus Mod Manager (NMM)[/url], [url= http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/1334/?]Mod Organizer (MO)[/url] or install using [url= http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/1840/?]Wrye bash[/url]!

[color=orange]If you use [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/8655/?]The Static Mesh Improvement Mod (SMIM)[/url] from Brumbek (Recommended): [/color] Please ensure you install SMIM [b]AFTER[/b] my mod and [b]YES[/b] to overwrite!! SMIM should overwrite swindmillrotor.nif and SMfarmhousewindmillfan.nif! when updating SkyFalls and SkyMills you can simply tick NO when asked to overwrite SMIM files. [color=orange]If you use [url=http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19446/?] The Skyrim Distance Overhaul LOD Improvement [/url] by Grieche (recommended):[/color] Install the patch (Included in FOMOD/BAIN installer). Do not install the optional New Skyrim LOD. The rest of the mod is perfectly compatible. [color=orange]If you use [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/54466/?] Expand Object LODs [/url] by tamu75:[/color] Install the patch (Included in FOMOD/BAIN installer). Do not install the optional New Skyrim LOD. The rest of the mod is perfectly compatible.

When asked to overwrite 2 texture files, you can say yes or no. The textures are the EXACT same as those found in WATER and Realistic Water Two [u] SO INSTALLATION ORDER DOESN’T MATTER AT ALL! You can overwrite either way (Load order does matter see Load order section)[/u]. The textures are purely there for those people who do not use WATER or Realistic Water Two, but do want to use the recommended meshes. So if you are a vanilla, Pure Waters or other water mod user, you can use the WATER or RWT meshes without a problem!.

[size=3][center][color=yellow][u]For Manual installation:[/u][/color][/center][/size]

Please use all the manual files (The NON fomod main file and all the required optionals)! You can merge them later using the [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/37981/?]merge plugins TES5Edit script[/url].

Simply unpack all the archives in the /Skyrim/Data/ folder and activate the esp files in the launcher.

The optional New Skyrim LOD should be extracted to the /skyrim/data/ folder. If you use The Skyrim Distance Overhaul LOD Improvement by Grieche, make sure you do NOT install my optional Skyrim LOD files.

All optionals should also be extracted to the /Skyrim/data/ folder.

If you have SMIM installed, please make sure that swindmillrotor.nif and SMfarmhousewindmillfan.nif come from the SMIM mod f you want the new windmill sails he created. So be careful which mod overwrites the other.

My mods are dependent on the Update.esm! Make sure you update your game I suggest you download any version using either Nexus Mod Manager, Skyrim Mod Organizer or install using Wrye bash! [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/4kV765s.png[/img] [size=5][color=yellow][b] [u] =Load Order= [/u] [/b][/color][/size][/center]

This mod needs to be loaded BEFORE Realistic Water Two (RW2) and AFTER Wyrmstooth (WT) and the unofficial Skyrim patches (USKP)!. Other than that, there are no rules. You can load it anywhere you like. BOSS may not recognise the mod as I have renamed the ESPs!! I did provide the BOSS team with all the new ESP names. Yes it was necessary, your computer will not blow up, so please don't start nagging me about how it ruined your life ;)

In fact I suggest you use [url= http://loot.github.io/]LOOT[/url] and stop worrying altogether. [center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/4kV765s.png[/img] [size=5][color=yellow][b] [u] =Performance impact= [/u] [/b][/color][/size][/center]

This mod has a performance impact (Common sense). However, the impact is minimal and most PC systems should be able to handle that without FPS loss. Since version 3.0Beta, performance has improved significantly. And version 3.3 improves performance even more. 

Thanks to [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/users/18906184]backslash33[/url] who extensively tested different set-ups on his low end system (Radeon HD 5800 (1GB), 4GB ram and an intel Q6600 2,4GHz) which is close to the minimum Skyrim recommendations. if you have a low end system you can expect a 3-10 fps drop over vanilla, depending on your setup. If you have a significant FPS drop, I can recommend using the Vanilla waterfall meshes (They will work with any water mod) for a lower impact. Bear in mind that the actual water mods (RWT and WATER) come with a significant FPS hit in themselves on lower end systems, especially in combination with this mod. My system (AMD 6950HD, I5 2500K and 8GB RAM) has no FPS impact with this mod, if your system is equal or better, you should not suffer any performance hit. 

Use ENBoost to lessen the impact on performance.

Please turn the setting iMaxDesired= under [Particles] in your Skyrimprefs.ini back to 750. Don't set higher than 900 if not required! it can cause flickering (Also see [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/40564/?tab=9&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmodreadme%2F%3Fid%3D40564&pUp=1]readme[/url] #FAQ# section). Previous versions of this mod might have required you to set this setting higher, please revert it back!

If you use [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/27563/?]Wet and Cold[/url] from Isoku, and the cold breath disappears, increase this setting by increments of 50 until the problem is solved.

[b][color=orange]This mod IS compatible with the following mods, which are all recommended![/color].[/b]

[b] =ALL THE ABOVE MODS ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IN COMBINATION WITH THIS MOD= [/b]

Other fully compatible mods:

Any mod that changes the placement or shape of any vanilla waterfalls in game. (Not talking about the meshes or textures here, those don't affect my mod!) This will likely be any landscape changing and or custom house mods that move, or delete waterfalls. If you find any incompatible mods, please let me know (None reported so far).

Waterfalls placed by other mods, will not have distant waterfalls, nor will they be animated!

This mod has a patch for [url= http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/40512/?]Project Parallax Remastered[/url]. It comes with [url= http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/19/?]Unofficial Skyrim Patch (USKP)[/url] and [url= http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/27043/?]Enhanced lights and FX (ELFX)[/url] compatibility included!

Other than that, nothing really. [center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/4kV765s.png[/img] [size=5][color=yellow][b] [u]=Credits=[/u] [/b][/color][/size][/center]
