I've turned my Skyrim into a Tropical Rainforest. So, having ice floes and icebergs in my game's tropical oceans isn't what I want to see.
Happily, this mod offers a solution. You have to trick the game into using an empty grid instead of a grid that contains ice.
Here's how:
1. Rename each of this mod's NIF files that contain ice. This preserves the original file's content, and keeps the game from recognizing these old NIFs.
2. Copy one of this mod's empty grid NIFs (there are 3) and Paste it into this mod's MESHES directory.
3. Rename the copied NIF to match one of the old files that contains ice, thus tricking the game engine into using an empty grid.
4. Do this for each of the NIFs that contain ice. It won't take you long.
An ice floe is a flat piece of ice at least 20m across at its widest, and up to to more than 10km. None of the individual pieces of ice in your photo look anywhere near 20m across. Just like the abused and misused the words 'tundra' and 'feral'. Hint: trees and grasses don't live in tundra because it is just too darn cold and the roots die in the permafrost layer.
Yes, this is for the flat ones with no collision. You can pick either meshes or textures or both. There is no negative effect from having an overqualified remover mod. I do it because it increases compatibility.

I was using the "other mod" but as you said, the size was insane...
