Immersive Galaxy – Nightfall
After reading a post on reddit about night lights, and more specifically how bad they look on earth, I decided to give a try at making my own. Working from NASA pictures, I remade the texture with 2 main objectives:
– As realistic as possible on Earth
– Impossible to distinguish Earth shape on other planets.
A entirely new texture for the night lights, built from official NASA pictures.
Resolution is 4K (4096×2048), twice the size of the original, but shouldn’t pose ny problem, many textures are in this format.

After:
The mod is completely save game compatible, you can activate/deactivate the mod without any impact.

Achievement compatible.
