Description: This simple mod removes the obtrusive skyboxes, replacing them with regular stars. It also lowers the light-output of suns, so that they, too, become far less obtrusive, thus making it easier to see the hexes closer to the suns.
Installation:
1. ( Optional ) Backup the "Stellar" and "Effects" folders inside ...\SpaceEmpiresV\Pictures
2. Move the SkyboxSunglow.rar archive to your main SE V folder and extract it, answer yes to overwrite files if prompted.
Uninstall: Just restore the Stellar and Effects folders. You'll have to do a complete reinstall if you didn't back them up.
The download is 12MB.
Compatible with all other mods that don't change the Skybox or Sunglow files.
