📋 About This Mod

This Pack Contains 5 different Galaxys all made by me HXP for Skyrim. The Images were taken from Hubble Space Telescope and they were all released on spacetelescope.org. for Public use. I know there are a few Galaxy mods here on Nexus Networks and I dont push nobody to use mine. But I just wanted to share this Mod with you all, so you can enjoy a few New Galaxys in your Game. I didnt copy no ones work and maybe there are similar Galaxys like mine but just as I said all the pictures where taken from the above Website and Me alone worked on them to make them compatible with Skyrim. All Galaxys have a Resolution of 2k, 4k, and some 8k ! Please Watch the Videos ! The Name of the Galaxys and Nebulas added: 1 - Hubble captures view of “Mystic Mountain” ( Nebula ) 2 - Light and Shadow in the Carina Nebula ( Nebula ) 3 - Spectacular Hubble view of Centaurus A ( Galaxy ) 4 - The Eagle has risen Stellar spire in the Eagle Nebula ( Nebula ) 5 - Star birth in the extreme ( This one is my Favorite ) ( Nebula ) Just take a look at the Screenshots. And New here are the Videos made by Users: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EKJ2ZpBOGI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baBsI4QBsLo or just watch it above in the Video Section ! And feel free to Upload your own Screenshots here with Names of the Galaxy or Nebula you used from this Package ! How to Install: Just choose the Galaxy you want to see in your Skyrim Nightsky and Put in your Skyrim Data folder. Please only use 1 cause they will overwrite each other. You can Install them one by one. That means first Install the one you would like to see. Than play your game and test it. Then quit the Game and delete the Galaxy or just overwrite it with the next one. So you can change your Galaxy whenever you want. This Mod took me Hours of Texture work so if you like it please Endorse me. I am also working on Improvements for the Textures and will soon add more Galaxys to Skyrim. So this is just the first Release and I hope you will enjoy it like I do. I love Stars and Galaxys in Real Life so thats why for me this is so Beautiful to see in Skyrim. UPDATE: Ok so here it is finaly the Galaxy and Nebula Pack 2 . This Pack Contains 10 New Galaxys for Skyrim. I have included the Screenshots in the Pack in each folder with the Name of the Galaxy. Just Replace the one you like in your Skyrim Data/Textures/Sky Folder. Or if you dont have the Folder than just create it and place the Skyrimgalaxy.dds File inside there. BUt I think you all know how this works. THis was a long process to edit all these Galaxys and it took my whole day, but now here it is for you. These Galaxys and Nebulas are added: 1 - A galactic disc, edge-on and up close 2 - A star formation laboratory 3 - Andromeda Galaxy (M31) wide-field 4 - Birth of Our Galaxy 5 - Colliding galaxies make love, not

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

A visual overhaul for Skyrim's night sky, offering galaxy and nebula textures in 2k, 4k, and 8k resolutions. Popular with 3,542 endorsements and over 173k downloads, though it hasn't been updated since 2013, so compatibility with current Skyrim versions is uncertain.

✨ Key Features

Adds galaxy and nebula textures to Skyrim's night sky
Available in 2k, 4k, and 8k resolution packs
High community adoption with 3,542 endorsements and 173,121 downloads

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with over 3.5k endorsements and 173k downloads
  • Multiple resolution options let you balance visual quality and performance
  • Simple texture replacer—no complex setup or dependencies

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2013—may not work with the latest Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition without manual tweaks
  • Only affects the sky—if you're looking for broader visual overhauls, this is a niche piece
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a more dramatic, space-filled night sky without overhauling the whole game. Great for screenshot enthusiasts and modders building a cosmic atmosphere. Skip if you're on the latest Skyrim version and want guaranteed compatibility—this old mod might need extra work.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're on Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition, you may need to manually extract the textures into your Data folder and ensure they overwrite the vanilla sky textures.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily switch between the 2k, 4k, and 8k versions and revert if needed.
  • For performance, start with the 2k pack—8k can strain VRAM on lower-end systems.
