54yeggan Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hello! Is it possible to restore full water reflections to Fallout 4? I've tried a couple mods including WET and some others, however this sadly doesn't do the trick for me, as water is still... well, quite unimpressive to look at. Take a look: Fallout 4 water: Fallout 3 water: As you can see, reflects entire buildings and their details even from more than a few miles away, including the length (height) of said objects on the water. Fallout 4 does not do that. Instead, we're left with something much more to be desired... the water to me in FO4 reminds me of blue pudding. As you can see in the above pic, the skyscrapers and skyline aren't even reflected on the water! Is there any possibility water could be changed or modded to look more like Fallout 3's water? HUGE Thanks to whoever can pull this off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blinxys Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Hmmm..Yeah that looks great, but not really how water reflections generally work visually on larger bodies of water, (of which FO4 contains many). Your comparison images are not exactly comparable, but the concept noted.(Have you seen the bathroom mirrors don't have reflections either? bugs the :devil: outta me). Yes, it does happen like that picture from FO:NV... sometimes, but factoring conditions that are highly variable:(surface, viewing angle, distance, composition/color/depth of fluid, time of day, lighting position, ambient light, fog/haze/dust, etc). Water mods have a way of messing with things that barely worked right in the first place.I'd still be afraid of truly reflective waters, performance-wise (for the difference in scale applied to).Rather spend the c/gpu cycles on something else, personally. That said::There are several existing water enhancement mods, think one is called W.E.T. ???,and others by way of weather mods, i.e. Vivid Weathers has one that's decent. Would have to see how each worked technically and visually to advance beyond the current technologies applied already.See what attempts are out there, test them, then if you have a better idea what exactly is left undone/not yet tried, by all means bring it on! :cool: EDIT: Just installed/tested latest ENB / ENB Boost, (been putting this off), now has vastly improved water and general reflections- with ini setting...Stiil, nothing for the mirrors though IDK why not i mean the sims 2 had perfectly reflective mirrors in 2005! WUWT? :verymad: Edited October 5, 2020 by Blinxys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
