OG MOD: Inside The Nebula
DESCRIPTION
Inside the Nebula replaces black void of the Skyrim's night with a unique fully panoramic nebula.
More specifically, this mod adds a skybox to the night sky which allows full sky backgrounds to be applied.
Inside the Nebula is available in 3 versions: Forge, Original and Waterfal. Check images #2, #3 and #4 for Forge Nebula, Original Nebula and Waterfall Nebula look and feel.
Please be aware that the actual appearance of nebulae will vary depending on your ENB and other graphic mods configurations.
By default this mod removes skyrim's galaxy, but there's an option to restore it in the optional files section.
Also as an option, the mod features replacers for both moons.
NOTE TO ENBSERIES USERS
Brightness, contrast and saturation of the nebula can all be modified inside the enbseries.ini file (located in your game's folder).
Open it with any text editor (e.g. notepad), find the settings mentioned below and adjust them to your liking (higher values increase effect, lower decrease it -
typically in ranges of 0. 5 to 2. 0).
StarsIntensity=1. 0 // changes brightness
StarsCurve=1. 0 // changes contrast (and saturation)
