⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Community favorite with 2,828 endorsements and over 186k downloads — clearly a trusted pick.
Does exactly what it says: realistic, cratered moons that look way better than vanilla.
No gameplay changes, just a visual upgrade — perfect for purists who want a better sky without extra clutter.

👎 Cons

Last updated in 2014 — might have issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods that alter the moons.
Only affects the moons; if you want a full sky overhaul, you'll need other mods.
No screenshots or detailed install instructions in the description, so you're going in a bit blind.
