I have never seen this work in my game and I have no idea why. Even putting it almost last in the load order. It's just a texture replacer lol. I guess it's not doing any harm leaving it in, might come across the answer one of these days. I just find it funny, not so much when I keep seeing white smoke and then suddenly remember that's a thing. Oh well.
So I guess the water wheels were using the smoke texture as a simulated water vapor? Now with this we can clearly see the water wheels are actually smoking.
I'm trying to determine the nif that is emitting smoke from the lumber mill so that I can make a patch for them to use the vanilla texture instead. If anyone else can help identify it that would be great.
Update: I think I found it. 30 BSEffectShaderProperty of fxmistmillwheel01.nif. I'll make a patch later tonight by extracting the vanilla smokeParticles01.dds and giving it a new name and point this nif to it instead of TB's new smoke.
Complete: That did it. I just extracted fxmistmillwheel01.nif from meshes0 and smokeparticles01 from textures4, renamed smokeparticles01 to waterwheelmist01 and pointed the texture path of 30 BSEffectShaderProperty in fxmistmillwheel01.nif to the new waterwheelmist texture. Put those files into an archive and installed. Now I have white "Water Mist" with TB's black smoke.
I really like the smoke from this mod. At first I wasn't a big fan of dark smoke since the vanilla game has such white smoke, but now I've grown to prefer it. Here is what mine looks like in Whiterun--notice how it looks black in the day/sky, but in the dark it's lighter and grayer. LOVE THAT.
(yeah I noticed the floating bird nest, need to fix that)

Edit:
I have also made the patch - is it fine if I add it to the official release - referencing you as the one who fixed it.
Can you share your Patch with us, please?
The fix included in the Mod doesnt work.
Can you correct this, please?
Edit busted
Darker smoke = happier immersion levels.
Many thanks.
