The Milky Way Overhaul

This addon replaces the default Milky Way with a new model and high-quality textures, primarily focusing on realism and accuracy but with some artistic liberties. All with the goal to represent what our galaxy might look like in real life (or at least, my interpretation of it).

The texture is based on real-life imagery of spiral galaxies like NGC 6744, UGC 12158, NGC 5194, and from some artistic interpretations like Stefan Payne-Wardenaar's interpretation[www.esa.int] and Pablo Carlos Budassi map[commons.wikimedia.org].


This addon doesn't change the texture responsible for the procedural generation of stars and nebulae in the Milky Way, so all of your saved locations within the galaxy should still exist (If they don't, make sure to check you don't have any other addons that might be changing the procedural generation of stars! E.g. addons that add galaxies or modify properties of existing ones).



Press the subscribe button, and the installation will begin automatically. After that, right-click the game on your Steam library and click ''Manage'', then go to ''Browse local files''. Look for the ''cache'' folder and delete it (don't worry it's safe to do this, it regenerates after opening the game again). It's important that you also follow this instructions If you wish to uninstall or install a new addon update.

NOTE: If the addon still doesn't work after an update, you might try unsubscribing and re-subscribing so the workshop can download the files again.
