This mod changes the skybox at night time and the Moon texture! The Resolution of both have been increased to 4096x4096 px (default: 512x512) This causes no performance issues whatsoever! It is not very noticeable, but once you have it installed, you don't want to uninstall it!
1. Open "OpenIV" 2. Navigate to GTAV/x64a.rpf/textures 3. Enable "Edit Mode" (top right button) 4. Replace the "skydome.ytd" with the modded file. 5. Done!
