I wanted the stars and milky way to be a bit more colourful and brighter more visable than any mods I could find.
Maybe too bright for some settings. Photos using reshade with minimal tweeks.
Left the original Star in.

Installation
Loose files dds as normal (not for potatoe pc’s) or the best way:
Ba2
requires the use of your StarfiledCustom.ini and how to correctly format and edit it:
StarfieldCustom.ini :
Under [archive]place at the end of where your other texture mod ba2 lines are separted by ,(space)
ZMD8kmilkywayandStars.ba2
Ensure you have NO duplicate lines in your ini or duplicate headers, the StarfieldCustom.ini must be inside your documents/my games/starfield folder.

Here is a reference ini example with the correct formatting – edit yours how you need to for the ba2 ini mods you are using.
