About this mod

The Cosmos - Lite is a replacement texture for the skyrimgalaxy.dds texture file that aims to add more beauty to the vanilla night sky. This is an alternative to my original Cosmos mod, which was a more colorful addition. The Lite version only adds galaxies, not nebulas to the night sky. For an even more beautiful night sky, pair my mod with Vi

Permissions and credits


The Cosmos replaces the default Skyrim galaxy with a a new hi-res texture that is compromised of galaxy photographs taken by the Hubble telescope. I combined them together to create a more interesting replacement for the Skyrim default galaxy, to make nights more beautiful.

Note: The Cosmos - Lite will vary in appearance, according to your lighting conditions. Any ENB or lighting mods will affect how the night sky appears on your system.

Recommended: For an even more beautiful night sky, pair my mod with Vibrant Auroras by SparrowPrince.



If you found the original The Cosmos mod too much eye candy for your taste, then this more retrained version may be to your liking. Give it a try and see if you like it.



Installation: Use NMM, or to do manually, merely unzip the file and install it into your Data folder in your Skyrim game folder.

The file path is [C]Windows > Programs Files or Program Files (x86) > Steam > SteamApps > common > Skyrim > Data > Textures > Sky

Uninstall: Deactivate with NMM, or just manually delete (or overwrite) the skyrimgalaxy.dds file.

Enjoy!........ and don't forget to endorse, if you like the mod. It helps me to know if my efforts were successful (or not).
