Anyone noticing Realistic Water Two isn't looking so good in VR?
I was a Pure Waters user in Oldrim, but seeing as that isn't looking to be compatable with SE I went ahead and got Realistic Water Two. However, it kind of looks off. It doesn't seem to reflect well, and has an almost flat matte texture, and water in the distance (For example when you first leave helgen and overlook the lake when at the stones) is a flat blue color with no reflection whatsoever.

Anyone else seeing this same effect?

Nope works for me. Remember to set it at the bottom of the load order

Skyrim water is awful in VR, any way you look at it. How many streams have you found flowing up hill? It hurt my head the second I seen one, my brain screamed 'WTF'.

Ive got a boat load of amazing mods. Games looking nearly perfect. But the water still looks like ass. This mod works but not well. The translucency is still minimal and muddy looking. Reflections are totally gone.

Whats weird is the water in the map view IS reflective! So Bethesda must have removed Cube Map relfections for water in SE then enabled them as ScreenSpace but then on the VR version they never re enabled Cube Map reflections. So we get NO reflections. Which is bogus.

i notice the same thing when up high and looking down at the rivers, been thinking about removing it and either going back to default or trying another water mod.

I have that mod installed, but haven't been near any water, yet.

Has anybody been able to enable water reflections? I get light reflections from nirnroots, but nothing else.

turns out that reflections are broken and it's a bug that existed in non VR Skyrim SE - but from what I've read VR doesn't support the reflection mapping skyrim used anyway so maybe we'll have to wait for a patch for reflective water?

Hello (hopefully someone is still subscribed to this thread). Yes, the water is just terrible. I don't mind the look in itself as much, but the worst thing is, how it's bright. I'm making a mod with an almost completely dark level and there's supposed to be ankle-high water. It looks nice in SE, but in VR, you can see the water all the way to the clipping distance, really spoils the effect of the darkness. So I wonder, if anyone here has found a fix for this in the meantime. I have tried Realistic Waters 2 and SkyVRaan, but none of those solve this issue.
