📋 About This Mod
I did not like the ship inside visibility what was very poor and dark by vanilla. I think the HABs usually do not have windows but the crew can not be in darkness. I am sure they switch on lights as I do in my rooms at night.
So this smallmaster.esm solves that problem.
I uploaded photos also and you can see how crystal clear visibility is inside the ship.
The StarfieldCustom.ini is necesseary to get the better result.
DO NOT COPY AND PASTE THE StarfieldCustom.ini setup
Just copy the next setup from it into your Starfieldcustom.ini file. Or use my starfieldCustom.ini file what you can dowload as optional.
