Open the FOMOD file with Fallout Mod Manager and activate. Using the included plugin is completely optional, but highly recommended for the desired effect. If you've already installed a mod with such textures, simply over-write those files with my mod. This mod should work with any other mod that doesn't modify the moon or star textures. Installation could not be any easier now. UPDATE #3: After much work (almost three times as much as it took to make the mod itself) I've finally created a complete FOMOD installer for the mod! Includes all options for moon resizing and alternative textures, with matching preview screens. In most cases this will be far too bright, so I can't really provide a reliable preview screenshot, but if you're using a mod combination where the regular Mojave Nights moon is too dim, try this pack instead! UPDATE #2: Added a second alternative moon texture pack, this time with a much more pronounced glow. esp plugins from the pack to replace the main "Mojave Nights.esp" file (you only need one. UPDATE: I've now added a moon resizer pack with various different moon sizes. Small plugin which reduces the size of the moon to 80% of normal (a more realistic size.)Īll components can be used independently of each other, or in combination with other night sky and/or moon replacement mods (the latest files will over-write the older ones.)Īlso available for download is an alternative set of textures for the moon with a lower, more subtle glow. High-resolution replacement texture for the moon. High-resolution replacement texture for the night sky (ie, the stars.)


There are three main features to this mod: The the result is Mojave Nights, a combination for complete night-time realism. The border between light and dark during the various phases is also derived from actual photographs, right down to the shadowed cratering. Like the night sky replacement, I looked for available high-quality images of the moon, and you may notice that it's no longer a plain round disc - the moon now conforms to its accurate, craggy outline.

I recently revamped it for a New Vegas release, but not content with that I've complemented it with an ultra-detailed moon texture replacement, and also a plugin which shrinks the moon down to a more realistic size. A while ago I created a simple night sky replacement mod for Fallout 3 ( Enhanced Night Sky) using real starfield photography as a base.
