📋 About This Mod

A starfield map replacer as seen from the Normandy crew deck. This is a modified version of the Hubble telescope's Deep Sky View and is (probably) a more accurate external view than the OEM one. If you are lucky enough to live in, or have been to, a Dark Sky Reserve you will know that on a moonless and cloudless night you can still see your way by starlight only. There is not a single area of the sky that is not lit by stars or galaxies. This replacer map adds stars and galaxies to the external view.

This is a texture file: install after all other DLC type mods. For ME:LE2 only.

Install with ME3Tweaks or MassEffectModder.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects the crew deck view—if you wanted changes elsewhere, this won't do it

  • Last updated in October 2024—might not be compatible with future patches, but for now it's fine

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you're using the Legendary Edition version of Mass Effect 2, not the original—this mod is specifically for LE2.
  • If you're using a mod manager like ME3Tweaks Mod Manager, you can install this mod directly; otherwise, manually place the files in your game's BioGame folder.
  • After installing, load a save where you're on the Normandy and head to the crew deck to see the new view.
