Lush and Gaudy Water has, well, Lush and Gaudy textures. I personally don't like them, because I aim for realism. However, I really like the way the water behaves in that mod. Particularly the waves.
So, I took to tracking down a decent free-to-use seamless texture to use as a base, made some edits to fit in properly with oblivion, then replaced the textures in LGW with these. The result was fantastic. The images speak for themselves. Screenshots were taken with the basic enb files included in the most recent oblivion binaries. Therefore, they look a bit undersaturated compared to Cyrodiil ENB or really undersaturated compared to Summer ENB, for example.
There are 3 files, each including textures of varying saturation. The normal file is the most realistic, edited to fit in with the majority of ENBs' color palates and color intensity. The second file is a bit more saturated, for those who like fantasy water. The third is for those that like Gatorade-colored water.
Installation is simple. Made to work with NMM, since that's what I use. Otherwise, a manual install is as easy as unzipping the file and copying the data folder and pasting it into the oblivion directory, overwriting the 3 water textures.
