Deeper Water

I got tired of jumping into ankle-deep rivers and lakes around skyrim. This is fixes some of that. Keep an eye out for floating barnicles and eggs, they're easy for me to miss. Tried to have minimal impact on how things look above-water, so areas with lots of rocks in them aren't deepened, but some waterfall objects have been added to create a more "rapids" feel.

Let me know if there's an area that you'd like to see dug down a bit more, or if one of the areas I already covered should be deeper. I will try to maintain compatibility with other underwater mods, but make no guarantees. That said, feel free to notify me of such incompatibilities in the comments.

The question has come up a couple times about frames-per-second impact. There shouldn't be any noticeable impact. A lot of the areas I expanded were literally ankle deep, and the local geography made it difficult to make them much more than 1 to 1.5 times the character height deep. So provided you don't have FPS issues in the narrow dungeon hallways of skyrim, this mod shouldn't give you trouble. The one exception here is in the ocean around winterhold. This was made much deeper, but still is smaller than any outdoor area of Skyrim. As always, let me know if you have issues with anything.
