It should not be done.

Even in stock SH3 there is a nasty FPS hit in and around harbors with no traffic.

Anytime you change harbor composition and surroundings, you must walk a tight rope.

Building up harbors to look more like the actual locations will have even high powered systems screaming for water.

<Trust me!>

not really. by the way...its just a case of polycount. as one sees most of the harbour and the surrounding city at a distance, there can be a lot done by textures. so you can build low poly houses, buildings, etc. and fit them with nice textures. so there would be NO increase of fps as long, as you keep the poly-range of the existing harbour. right?
