Volcanic Glacial Plateau - Biome Visual Transformation [XB1]

Description

A visual overhaul by ZY20042 that transforms one of Starfield's Plateau biomes into a dramatic volcanic glacier landscape inspired by the ash-covered ice fields of Iceland.

Rather than the dusty, barren appearance normally associated with Plateau biomes, this mod reshapes the environment into a vast frozen expanse coated in black volcanic ash and vibrant blue ice. Combined with atmospheric fog and rare volcanic haze events, the result is a unique and striking landscape unlike anything found in the base game.

This mod functions as a visual "skin pack" for the biome and does not alter gameplay systems such as flora, fauna, resources, keywords, or quests.
