For Skyrim players who want sharper, more detailed moons without overhauling the entire sky. If you're using Moon Size Tweek or similar mods, this is a natural companion. Skip if you're on Special Edition or want more comprehensive sky improvements.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, this oldrim mod may still work but test it—if moons look weird, remove the files.
- Pair with Moon Size Tweek to see the high-res textures more clearly when moons are enlarged.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily uninstall if you don't like the look.
