📋 About This Mod

This mod simply material swaps some of the light white/gray plasticy materials which cover most of the UC Vigilance's Interior with some darker plastics and metals, adding some intrigue and character to the ship, inspired by sci-fi movies in general and the dark and moody atmosphere of military submarines (in movies at least).

There's also a slight change in lighting on the bridge, I've removed most of the fake lights for a more realistic and again more moody look.

I highly recommend pairing this mod with UC Vigilance Visual Overhaul, which gives the exterior a gritty rework in a similar vein.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects the UC Vigilance—if you're not spending time there, it's wasted space.

  • Cosmetic only—no gameplay changes, so if you want more than a moody vibe, look elsewhere.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a simple texture/lighting mod, you can install it manually by dropping files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex makes it easier to uninstall.
  • If you use other lighting mods, load this one after them to ensure its darker look takes priority.
  • Check the mod's comments for any reported conflicts with popular Starfield mods before installing.
