The other 3 major moons now orbit Jupiter at proper resonance.
Since Io (the body the game takes place on) isnt actually moving, this is emulated by having Jupiter itself orbit Io (as seen from the surface of Io), along with the starfield above.
In real life Callisto isnt at a perfect 1:4 resonance with Europa, but close enough that i substituted it.
This will lead to the occasional rare Jupiter + 3 moon lineup in the skies from time to time.
