Replaces every skybox and planetary backdrop with a new high-resolution one.
0 playing nowReplaces every skybox and planetary backdrop with high-resolution versions; conflicts with other skybox mods.
Skies and planetary backdrops are most of what you see between conversations in Knights of the Old Republic, and the originals are low resolution. High Quality Skyboxes II replaces all of them with new high-resolution art, built from scratch by Kexikus. The main file is a 7z archive of replacement textures to drop into the Override folder, with a lighter 1K set and extras for Yavin 4, Ord Mandell and Green Dantooine available from the same page. It works with the KOTOR 1 Restoration mod and conflicts with any mod that changes skyboxes.
