Unauthorized Oblivion
We break all the rules and change our adventuring lives forever
Mod Name: Better Nightsky
Why you need it: See more Milky Way than the day after Halloween
Difficulty: Challenging
Half of our time in Oblivion is spent at night. More if you are the sneaky sort. So why not give ourselves some improvements to the heavens in the evening? The Better Nightsky mod is a subtle and cosmetic tweak, but has a startling effect on the ambience of Cyrodiil's celestial bodies. This mod will give you highly detailed re-skins of Masser and Secunda (Cyrodiil's large and small moons), in addition to making the nearby nebula more impressive and visible.
Unpack the file named "Better_Nightsky_v12" onto your desktop and unzip it. It's rather large for a simple mod, mainly due to multiple sets of moons that are available for you to choose from. Pick out your favorites and drop them into the Data folder inside your Program Files/Bethesda/Oblivion folder.
