📋 About This Mod
BIGGER, BETTER SUN (AND MOONS) This a simple mod that increases the size of the sun in the sky. It also improves the appearance of sunrays - allowing for more dramatic sunsets, intense sunrise and cinematic backlighted screenshots - with or without ENB. No FPS loss or performance impact. An optional file is included with the moons Masser and Secunda also increased in size to almost twice the original. NOTE: This is not a retexture so you can use it with your favorite sunglare retexture mods This will not afffect the sun\'s intensity or brightness, just the physical size in the sky This will not affect the lighting so it is compatible with any climate or exterior lighting mod For ENB users, this can further enhance the effects of your ENB\'s sunrays or \"godrays\" Screenshots shown are with and without ENB.
