📋 About This Mod
Updates (change log):
10/9/2020 Version 1. 2
1. All new update to make version 1. 1 go from 54mb down to 13mb.
2. Saves you 41mb and NO QUALITY LOST!
3. Don't ask me how did it, because it is magic.
4. Working on a glow version now and also working on a new mod for star/galaxy retexture to add to my sky collection (should be out in the next few days).
5. Please note, there are a few (approx. 20) updated pictures mixed in with old pictures (I will try to title more pictures in the future or delete old pictures from past obsolete versions).
10/9/2020 Version 1. 1a (Optional file)
1. All updates from 1. 1 included in this update, plus this version is toned down for ENB user or certain weather mods, or users of both.
2. You can use this version with vanilla (no ENB or no weather mod) and it will work just fine. It will just be more dull, lower contrast, higher opacity, etc. Some might like this look.
10/6/2020 Version 1. 1
1. Increased perimeter feathering opacity to eliminate hard lines at moon edges (current pictures do not represent this update, user are welcome to post pictures!).
2. Increased terminate feathering between light and shadow to create a softer transition.
3. Straightened terminate fade line between light and shadow so transition dark and light is perfectly straight.
4. Future update: Working on a glow option , 4k version (for those that might want it), toned down version for Cathedral Weather an Rudy, and other changes (currently compatible but some may find the contrast too high).

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 590 endorsements and over 20k downloads.
- Lightweight and performance-friendly—just texture files.
- Enhances immersion without touching gameplay mechanics.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects moons—no other celestial bodies or sky elements.
- May conflict with other mods that alter moon textures or sky lighting.
- Last updated in 2020, so compatibility with newer Skyrim versions or mods is uncertain.
For Skyrim players who want a quick, low-impact visual upgrade to the night sky. Ideal for those who appreciate attention to detail and don't want to overhaul the entire sky. Skip if you're looking for comprehensive sky or weather changes—this is purely a moon texture replacement.
💡 Beginner Tips

- Place this mod early in your load order to ensure other texture mods don't override it.
- Check for compatibility with mods that alter night sky or weather, as they may overwrite moon textures.
