[quote who="Christian_Akacro" reply="14" id="3556766"]How do I supplement/add this in without breaking things?[/quote] Well, I wanted to replace all the stars with my own list and not use any that came with the game, so I would do it like this: 1.

Since this was my first attempt at using mods, I didn't even realize there was an option that needed to be switched on. [e digicons]:blush:[/e]

[quote]You can directly throw this file into your mod's "Text" folder, and assuming there aren't any conflicting indexes, you should start seeing your new star names in the game.
