Default How to Use Skyboxes?
I'm not exactly certain if this is the right place to put this, but how do I use Skyboxes? I downloaded a few, to try them for the first time, but I can't for the life of me, figure out of to get them to line up, and use properly. Is there a tutorial on how to do this? I looked online, and I couldn't find any, so I decided to ask here.

There is a marker on one corner of the skybox that should go in the upper right hand corner of the game map. If it's off at an angle, you can rotate it to that corner-it should line up evenly with the map itself.

You can use the skybox in any corner of the map. Just make sure the pointer points toward whatever corner you put it in.

This default replacement for the FX cube will help you line up your skybox and other neighborhood deco items.

Also: you should try to NOT put it in a corner that is a high mountain, as that will actually raise the whole thing. Even if it's at the lowest corner, there can be a gap between the ground level and the sky. There are other mods to cover that up.

Stand up, speak out. Just not to me..

If you use Nopke's default replacement skies, you don't have to worry about unsightly gaps like that or where to put the FX cube. I rarely use skyboxes anymore since finding these.

They would be perfect if only the night sky was black.

The real sky here has a blueish tinge like that, so I don't mind it.
