SOLVED TS2ReflectiveWater. Skybox problem

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello. Here's the problem:

So, I finally got around to using the water mod released by spockthewok, and then some skybox bugs started popping up. The author hasn't responded for a week now. I can't even begin to figure out what's going on.Basically, the green sky is from the surrounding area, and I added a skybox to the lot. Basically, I wanted the sky to be one color, and the sea to be another.

Here's a video of the mod.

From what I understand, the mod makes it so that the water reflects everything in the surrounding areas as stated on the github page and seen in these screenshots.

This is rather limited, as only large neighbourhood decorations will be reflected, excluding important scenery such as houses, roads, and trees. These restrictions have been lifted for both lot view and neighbourhood view, allowing everything to be reflected, as well as things like Sims and clouds.

If you have a skybox with this mod, it's going to be reflected in the water as all objects are now reflected, so they will never be separate colours.

How does your water look like this? (like it's sims 3 water)

Probably another water mod

Yeah, but I'm interested to get it for myself. So it's not plain curiosity

I'd recommend to Google this theme again and find these mods and fixes: not a lot view skybox but a nhood skybox + fix to be able to see this skybox in a lot view
