I feel like this shader would be good for modern builds but not necessarily general use for people who aren't fans of the water, clouds, and atmosphere it builds. A nice thing though is that it does have PBR support which is cool even if it's a bit bruh. The shadows are also way too dark and intense for my liking. That being said, I'm a huge fan of clouds ever since being blessed with what RRe36 has to offer and these clouds are somehow even worse than Complementary's clouds so like wow.

I do however quite like how the lighting and shadows look. The water would be pretty good for very shallow lakes and water features in builds but it does that thing that I hate where it gets super dark the lower down the water is and it also has a blur effect which I'm not a huge fan of which overall just make it a bit mediocre despite the good appearance in small bodies of water. Regular SEUS Renewed is a shader that I really don't have much experience with but it seems fairly solid. Secondly, when people say 'SEUS' I feel like they're probably referring to SEUS PTGI but if they're just referring to regular SEUS Renewed then that's also a fair option. I don't use it however because it just feels too plain for me, the water is awful, and the clouds are lackluster compared to some other offerings. I feel like the best way to describe Complementary would just be vanilla but spicier and with a boatload of settings, it's probably the most popular shader nowadays and is really easy to get into due to its straightforward customization and really solid performance as well as the cherry on top being the beautiful PBR.

First, BSL is a fine suggestion but I feel like Complementary is more accessible, has more features, and can be tweaked to look like BSL and because it's based off BSL, it's essentially just a better version of BSL imo.
