📋 About This Mod
So there was a mod that made sky visible in Institute HQ, but it has some bugs. I replied in the comments and it seems the mod isn't active anymore, so well, I made one myself.
This is fixed in version 1. 2
The rooms above are still visible if you play on high FOV, but 99% you won't even notice them.
This mod also fixes sky brightness at certain angles.
Also, unlike the original mod, this mod doesn't use Sky Lighting, so the interior won't get affected by the day/night as much, only mist and ambient lighting are.
Interior lighting at evening:
Note: Put it at the bottom of load order or the sky might not show up at all!
