That first screenshot of yours is how the lake looks with that mod in place - are you sure you don't have it already?

But I can't account for the displaced water. Does this happen in every new game you play? Or just in one particular one?

I'm about 200 days into a game on my iMac and my lake looks exactly like the one in your first screenshot, no displaced water.

Any chance you could try the mod I linked above anyway?

Can you please attach here a copy of the problem game. I'd like to see whether it causes the problem on my Mac and/or Windows. Thanks.

Gaelliss said: Hi, I’m having the same issue on Mac (lake visibility) and I can’t find the lake mod anymore on the link above.
I can’t find it as well in mods library when the game is launched.
You might try contacting @ChoGGi_2 directly in the Steam workshop - good luck with that!
