About this mod
Makes the moons in the sky look more believable by massively shrinking their apparent size.
- Permissions and credits
My first Skyrim mod to release. A simple tweak that changes the apparent sizes of the moons to 20% or one-fifth of vanilla.
As someone who is into astronomy and astrophysics, and has messed around in Universe Sandbox a few years back, seeing Masser and Secunda so large in the sky kind of lowers my personal believability. Forget the World-Eater, their gravitational force would be wreaking havoc on Nirn's surface!
"But magic!", one might say. But why can't I have a believable-looking sky in a world with magic? And honestly, using "it's magic" to 'explain' away everything at some point just becomes a copout and a thought-terminating cliche.
"But the moons in Elder Scrolls are the dismembered body of a dead god!" another says. But how does that necessarily mean they have to be incredibly close to the planet? Why can't we have the dead god chunks orbit farther out?
Besides, I'm not looking for pure realism here, neither am I claiming canonicity or lore friendliness here. Verisimilitude is good enough for me.
So here it is. I made it for my own personal use, and now I'm giving it to you all. Hope you enjoy.
I might make 15% and 10% versions later on.
