About this mod
Reduces the size of particles (rainbow streaks in Pulse Engine, long air-particle, various larger particles) and lines (trade route line thickness and navigation point lines). Removes the large space dust (snowballs!) particles. Foundation and Pathfinder compatible.
- Permissions and credits
Works with the following versions of the game: Original, Foundation and Pathfinder.
NMS can be a truly stunning looking game at times, and then you might find some of the particles and GUI elements get in the way of that. If that sounds like you, then this mod may be of interest to you.
It started out as my first mod, which was a reworking of a few early NMS mods (full details and credit in the enclosed Readme file) by Satay101 and ScottATaylor and DeckyDoodles. Then it became a start over attempt to better reduce the impact of these game particles on the overall amazing aesthetic of the game, and all those gorgeous views it gives us. Overall i did not want to simply remove these effects (as a few other mods do) but keep the original game feel while making the effects more subtle and better able to blend into the background.
I have had this mod running in my modlist for a good long while now, and with the release of a couple other mods decided i should go about allowing the community to access it as well. Combined with my 'Half sized (default) icons' mod it fits perfectly to create a more subtle and less in your face graphical re-vision to the original games look and feel. Perfect for a regular desktop PC gamer, where your screens are just a few feet away and you don't need over large icons/particles/effects to see them clearly.
I wouldn't play the game any other way now, and i hope you find this mod enhances your own NMS journey.
How to Install:
After unzipping the main file you download, simply copy/paste this file:
_MOD.SweetDsSmallerParticles+linesV1.0.pak
into the main games 'No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS' folder.
IF on the Foundation (patch version 1.12 upwards) OR Pathfinder update versions:
1. Look for the DISABLEMODS.TXT file and rename or delete it.
2. Create a MODS folder inside your PCBANKS folder.
3. Copy/paste the above named .pak mod file into this MODS folder.
4. Delete your SHADERCACHE folder (this will be rebuilt next time you launch the game).
You will get a warning about using mods and can carry on with the game, now with this mod making it's changes.
