Mod compatible with NMS 6. 45

This mod changes LOD values on new Space Stations to minimize pop-in.

Biggest change is for mannequins and shop signs but I also tweaked other things like shop areas and decorative items.

Better Station LOD is a compatibility mod for No Man's Sky 6.45 that tweaks LOD values on new space stations to reduce pop-in, focusing on mannequins, shop signs, and other decorative elements.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Targets a real annoyance—pop-in on station details like mannequins and signs
  • Recent update (June 2026) means it's likely compatible with current NMS version
  • Solid community support with 125 endorsements and over 6k downloads

⚠️ Cons

  • Replacement mod—won't play nice with other mods that touch the same files
  • Only affects new space stations, not old ones or other areas
🎯 Is This For You?
For No Man's Sky players who notice and hate pop-in on space station interiors, especially those who spend time in stations and want a cleaner look. Skip if you use other mods that replace station assets or if you don't mind the pop-in.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this is a replacement mod, check if you have other mods that modify the same .SCENE.MBIN files—they'll conflict.
  • Back up your original files if you're manually replacing them, so you can revert if needed.
  • Make sure your game version matches 6.45, as mods can break with updates.
