A simple mod to make the Necklace of Waterbreathing more unique and pretty. Several color variations.
Permissions and credits
Author's instructions
The model belongs to testiger2 and you will need to get permission from them if you want to use it. The method of adding the unique model is a combination of studying various how-tos as well as dissecting Xyberbat's mods, so that's not really something you would need permission from me either :) It's nice to credit people for the work they've done if you will be reusing this mod somehow though ;)
File credits
Huge thanks to testiger2 for their amazing models and textures and for giving me permission to upload this mod :) And thanks to Xyberbat as well for teaching me a lot about adding unique models, even if they don't know that they did :D

Credits
The model is from the (slightly tweaked) wonderful work of testiger2 and their amazing mod Dovahbling which I have loved and used for ages. I highly recommend this mod to everyone, the models are all beautiful. You can convert it for SE yourself with CAO or use Immersive Jewelry which includes it :) So many thanks to testiger2 for allowing me the use of their assets for this small, simple mod :)
Another huge thanks goes to Xyberbat whose work on unique models for items, as well as the mod to give this very necklace a unique model, helped me so much when I learned how to do this and inspired me as well :) I definitely recommend for everyone to check out their mod - maybe this model will suit your game better :) It's all about preferences. Optional Necklace of Waterbreathing.
Installation
Install via any mod manager. It's a fomod - a very simple process. If you want to install manually, the folder structure should be straightforward - you need the esp and textures from 'Base' and one meshes folder from 'Variants'.
Uninstallation
Remove from your mod manager or delete the from your game files if you installed manually.
Compatibility
Well it won't be compatible with Xyberbat's mod :D Other than that, should really be compatible with everything. If you see a conflict with Immersive Jewelry, fear not. It's the same files. I'm just providing them for the people who might not have them already to prevent missing texture issues.
F.A.Q.
What's this thing? Where do you get it? It's just loot. Kill people and you might find it :D Or, if you're impatient, add one via the console or AddItem Menu (or whatever equivalent there is for AE)
I want a different color. I can do that, just tell me what color :)
Why does the color look a bit different on each screen? Because different lighting and refraction etc, etc. Try it out in your own game. You can share screens of how it looks for you too :)
Why this rando necklace? I don't know. I always carry a waterbreathing thing with me and I wanted something more unique :) And then I saw Xyberbat's mod and decided to make my own thing in the same spirit and with the models from testiger2 I love so much :)
