Hey, since none of these textures really suited me and Baldurian's Scum mod (which was the first to use transparent meshes I believe) is a bit dated and the texture a bit small I made my own quick and dirty version which I think is a bit more vanilla friendly. I uploaded it to my "Small and WIP Mods" page: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/44321
I see the same thing with New Starfields' stars when looking up at the sky. There's just a circle of missing stars wherever I look that seems to match the behavior I see with scum, sans the distances involved.
For me this is a must use. I have gone with alternative 2 which I feel makes the standing water just appear more realistic and integrated into the land. I love it.
This is legitimately one of my favourite mods. The way the water shaders sparkle through the leaves in Alternate Texture 1 gives these ponds so much depth and beauty!

Parts of the texture go away when your camera is close enough. Only *parts* of it.
For instance: https://ibb.co/d5NTTRC
The foam is what's disappearing.
With alternate textures, it becomes even worse, because it's generally the greenish "scum" that disappears.
