📋 About This Mod
A Sky Worth Looking Up At
The Commonwealth nights are dark, but the vanilla stars never quite sold the vastness of space above. This mod replaces them with handcrafted, realistic stars that make those quiet wasteland nights feel a little more infinite.
Looking for something more stylized? Check out my aesthetic star sky mod. But if you want realism when you look up, you're in the right place.

Since the stars are digitally created, they may look a bit odd if you zoom in with a sniper scope — but who does that?

💡 Beginner Tips
- Choose the 2K or 4K version if you're on a mid-range PC; 8K is for high-end rigs and may cause performance drops.
- Use a mod manager like Nexus Mods' Vortex to easily install and uninstall the mod without manual file editing.
- Since this is a texture replacer, load order doesn't matter much, but place it after any other sky mods to ensure it takes effect.
