⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing without checking requirements

👍 Pros

Huge download count (846k) shows it's a go-to for starfield overhauls.
NASA-based accuracy is a unique selling point—no more fake constellations.
4k resolution keeps stars crisp without tanking performance.

👎 Cons

Only affects the starfield—no changes to planets or moons.
Requires a mod manager for proper installation, which might intimidate newcomers.
