Visible Galaxy 4k
Xbox 1 Version
_________________________________________________________________
You would think that after 200 years the light and air pollution would have died down and that the Milky Way galaxy would once again become visible. But the vanilla night sky still looks like it did before the bombs fell. This aims to fix that. Now with this mod, you can see the Galaxy in all its beauty. The galaxy is a beautifully sharp 4k textures and should have no impact on frame rate. The texture is a direct port of Apinanaivot's mod for Skyrim, 4K Stars and Galaxies. I simply ported it to Fallout 4 with his permission. All I can say for his mod is that it is truly beautiful. As adding a galaxy texture is more complicated than just changing a texture, I made the framework to make it possible.

Framework
________________________________________________________
"How do I use the framework?" you may ask. Feel free to make your own retexture of the galaxy to work with it. Just follow the following rules, doing so counts as me giving you permission.
- The textures must be your own, do NOT just edit the one in this mod. Additionally I am in no way giving anyone permission to use the textures included within this mod, those are not mine to give. I'm only giving you permission to use the .nif file.
- Link you mod in the post I added to the forums tab. I want to be able to easily find it.
- You must give appropriate credit in the description of your mod. This includes me as well as anyone else who's work you used.
- You may upload mods which use the framework to both the nexus and bethesda.net.
How to make it work properly.
- Name the texture file 'Galaxy.dds'
- Do not edit the .nif unless you know what your doing, if you have a bug and you've edited the nif, I can't help.
