starfield-mods

[open quest]

Hi folks, with Starfield launched we’re opening a dedicated channel for discussing Starfield Mods.
Official mod support is planned for the future, and we look forward to sharing more details. There is no ETA on when this will be, but keep an eye on this channel and #modding-news!

[vernal bone]

can someone please make a mod that shuts up your crew when docking/undocking, landing taking off, its so bloody annoying

[dapper galleon]

shut the volume off

[vernal bone]

definitely solves the issue nice job 👍
Ah yes Mute simulator!

[odd chasm]

Recommended Mod : Planetary Detailed Maps

[fluid carbon]

ETA on the C.K.2?

[clear ember]

I’ve heard people say March, but only time will tell, for all we know it could come out within the next few weeks lol

[vernal bone]

so saying this, there wont be any major content adding mods till then?

[open quest]

No ETA

[quaint yoke]

Shame

[clear ember]

Not sure but there won’t be mods for Xbox X/S until CK2 comes out, but mods for PC are already rolling out

[quaint yoke]

Yea just nothing major though

Like ground vehicles and added items

[vernal bone]

yea ive seen a couple roll out, mainly just people begging for endorsements for console commands 🤣

[clear ember]

God I can’t wait for ground vehicles, I don’t mind walking but lord it can be annoying

[mortal lake]

There's already a script extender and the SkyUI team has StarUI out now

[quaint yoke]

I’m looking forward to added furniture and outpost/ship interior mods

[mortal lake]

The mods are happening! Though I'll continue my totally unmodded vanilla playthrough for now. Gonna wait for the big big stuff to hit

[clear ember]

Same, I’m working on getting 100% achievements on Xbox while I wait, I’m half way there so far

[vernal bone]

would it be at all possible to pin this sub?
https://www.reddit.com/r/starfieldmods/

[open quest]

We don't typically pin resources in the modding channels here. But it is great to see all of the active communities that are already buzzing about Starfield mods 🙂

[lost grove]

Who can we suggest a feature that does not disable achievements for mods that do not allow you to get achievements any faster. Like fixes and such. Like say someone revamps the menus like that one popular Skyrim mod we all used back in the day. That wouldn't help you get any achievement, it would just let you spend a little less time managing inventory. Things like that. I mean, I get straight up cheat mods disabling achievements, but it seems like some mods should be able to be certified to run alongside achievements. To the point that people make mods that re-enable the achievements. They shouldn't have to. Not in a single player game, anyway.

[steep bobcat]

Or how about just allow achiements no matter what. If someone wants to cheat their way to get them all who really cares. It’s their game.

[fluid carbon]

The mod to allow achievements is already out

[steep bobcat]

The Skyrim equivalent doesn’t work on console. So just remove the restriction and all good for all players.

[topaz python]

@grave flame https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/252

[languid portal]

Eyyyy, finally a channel I can ask questions in!!

I've got 2 mods that aren't working for me, dark mode kiosks and the filter remover. My UI (compact items list) works though.

Any suggestions?

[royal badger]

new to all of thsi but are mods going to be allowed on xbox series x

[hollow walrus]

while i understand from a human standpoint that some mods are clearly QOL or fixes... and thus dont fall against achievements, while other mods are clearly cheats and such .... its a matter of 'how does the program figure that out' when mods can literally do anything they want. so their only approach is either: kill achievements when any mods applied, or not kill achievements. I guess they went with the former choice, and thus there is a mod to reverse that choice 🙂

[steep bobcat]

Yea. No release date though

[hollow walrus]

aint mods grand 😄

[steep bobcat]

Or just allow them. Why not?

[hollow walrus]

yeah, I see no issue with mods and achievements... its all single player. its like 'cheats for singleplayer games' ... why would anyone be against them if it makes the game that much more fun for someone who may not have bought the game otherwise?

i know theres many RTS games i would never have bought, had they not had cheats for them... because i just cant be bothered with the mechanics of some of those, but still enjoy them if i can cheat a little 😉

mods rule for bethesda games too... i mean, its what we've all come to love and expect

[grave flame]

can you still add mods to the game once you make it

[tropic pier]

give us nvidia DLSS

[warm ice]

yeah, what is the DLSS mod that currently exists?

[tropic pier]

mod is paid and is more expensive than gamepass

[warm ice]

tf

[tropic pier]

the full dlss not the free versión which ive tried and makes no change

[remote cove]

hey for some reason my mods dont activate i have tried everything from archive invalidation to dumping my mods folder to other locations etc

[heavy spoke]

mod request: Diamond City Radio (transmissions originated from Earth centuries ago), played with your trusty Constellation watch

[latent lance]

any news on starfield creation kit launch day? i assumed its been asked but has pete or anyone said anything

ive scrolled up and seen no eta

thats all from me

[magic maple]

#modding-news would be the place to check for when it gets news, no ETA though sadly.

[inner bolt]

Fyi there's a free dlss3 framegen mod out by another author that's not drm locked

[latent lance]

thank you

[pearl spade]

have you created the StarfieldCustom.ini file that most mods need?

[turbid hazel]

Are Starfield mods working with the PC Game Pass version of the game at all?

[remote cove]

yup

i have tried everything

[azure wren]

Star wars total conversion mod!

[remote cove]

dude what are you tlaking about?

[azure wren]

As a mod

Like pew pew

[remote cove]

yeah i know its a mod im confused are you suggesting i try the star wars mod cuz im just trying to fix my game

and the mod is not even out yet

[quaint yoke]

Kinda, imma move to steam later tho cuz I don’t think it’ll be as good

[sand sonnet]

For the most part, yes.

[turbid hazel]

Looking at some AMD cards anyway so might end up getting a Steam copy with one

[silver raft]

1. Is nodding out for Xbox yet?
2. Is there an fps booster mod available? I can’t deal with the 15-20 fps 😭

Modding*

[fluid carbon]

No

[tawny flame]

In the PC version I use GeForce Experience for FPS on screen, I've been getting around 163 FPS in Starfield with my 3080.

[pseudo bramble]

On low?

[rough lichen]

3070 TI and Ryzen 5 2600 my PC is not happy it's rare to get over 100 fps

[vernal siren]

Modding request for a character modeler/animator. I think the leveled list for space monsters should have Zerglings and Hydralisks!

[slow thunder]

what are ur specs or are u xbox

[silver raft]

Xbox :/

Born to game, forced to suffer

I have a series x and it’s still meh

I’ve played the fallouts and RDR2 (runs on 30fps) and starfield doesn’t feel like 30

[warm ice]

what cpu?

I have a 3080 10gb and ryzen 9 5900x. I occasionally get lag spikes in New Atlantis still.

I have vsync enabled @60hz though. Not sure what my avg fps is if I disable.

[hollow walrus]

fire up afterburner and setup some graphs, helps if you are checking out your fps over time

[slow thunder]

it’ll prob be patched soon, the game just came out i guess

[azure wren]

Are there any guides for building starfield mods?

[silver raft]

Here’s hoping 🍻

[dapper galleon]

Have any of you tried out StarUI yet? I'm torn between that mod or compact UI

[slow thunder]

also is the dlss mod any better than the standard fsr mod? i have a 3060 and 5600x and even with medium with fsr i get 40s

[bold yew]

i’m guessing sf mods are made in the same way as other bethesda games, so just search up how to make mods for bethesda games, most bethesda games have similar modding tools

[zinc copper]

I'd like a mod that basically let's you create a ship from zero at Starports/yards, instead of having to buy/capture a ship and then modify from there

[sand sonnet]

Maybe a tiny bit, but generally no. You'll just get a better looking image compared to FSR.

[tacit karma]

Is there a mod to stop zooming in when you scan a planet/moon?

[drifting sleet]

Anyone know of a mod where the animations stay in first person?
I.E taking off, landing, getting seated, etc, stays in first person instead of playing a 3rd person animation/cinematic, i can tell this is possible because sometimes especially when landing the game will stay in first person for half the animation.

[hearty wyvern]

is there a mod that adds the rest of the game?

[lost grove]

Oh, that's actually a Microsoft thing. See, and apologies to anyone who knew this, but achievements are just the gamer-facing side of a service that is offered to publishers and developers. Achievements show them what we focus on and how long it takes how many of us to reach certain milestones. It's useful metrics, and cheat mods corrupt that data, which they place a monetary value on. While Bethesda being part of Xbox might seem to change that formula, Bethesda still wants to know how long people spend in the game doing whatever, and cheat mods, again, corrupt that data. Hence why I didn't ask for them to just allow all mods with achievements.

[vital pond]

Any cheat gamepass mods? (pc)

[odd plinth]

😞

[quaint yoke]

Console commands using the ~ key. Lookup console commands for starfield and you’ll get it

[grizzled plank]

Does anyone know when the creation kit 2/ mod maker it comes out?

[quaint yoke]

Nope

[grizzled plank]

Has there been any good mods came out yet?

[scarlet yew]

has someone worked on an fov mod<

[quaint yoke]

Yes to both of you, look over at Nexus mods

[maiden agate]

If you want to make the game look amazing, get the “NeutralLUTs - No color filters” mod and pair it with the “Alpha Chad Reshade” mod. The game look unreal with these mods being used.

Both are on Nexus.

[spare matrix]

does it hurt performance at all?

[warped light]

Reshade normally uses about 2fps. I would say it does but not that much. Expect your pc to be doing some work though

Also make sure you install reshade to starfield before hand

Then ads the mods

[karmic lotus]

i installed the nexus mods through vortex

but i open the game and nothing has changed

[prime depot]

am I slow? I went to Nexus and all I can find is one Mod.... also granted, this is the first time I ever dealt with mods... how do I get this to work?

[karmic lotus]

did i miss a step?

[maiden agate]

I never actually bothered to check.

[warped light]

Doesnt sound right lol. Try using ad blocker etc. Also check YT tuts

[maiden agate]

I personally never noticed a change if so. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[karmic lotus]

but starUI is an inventory overhaul

it should definitely be noticeable

[copper cedar]

Hello, do you know if there will be available mods like skyrim, fallout on xbox?

[warped light]

Ima try your recommendation tomorrow see how nice it looks

[maiden agate]

I’ve noticed some people wrote in the descriptions that their starfield Mods are from fallout or Skyrim.

[warped light]

Onless theres a mods option for consoles on hone screen then not right away. Took a few years for them to implement them into skyrim

[copper cedar]

Okay, thanks for the answers 🙂 hopefully we'll see something in the future ☺️

[maiden agate]

There are some picture on the Alpha chad Reshade mod page that shows the changes.

[pastel coral]

If anyone is running the game on a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11GB, what is your fps?

[maiden agate]

Why? Is your fps really bad?

[pastel coral]

I haven't purchased the game yet, but have about 40'ish mods I will use if/when I buy it. But I want to know how it runs for others that use my GPU.

[maiden agate]

Ah. All I know is that apparently it runs poorly on nvidia GPU’s.

I have a RTX 4090 and in some places my fps is 55 max.

[pastel coral]

Okay, thanks... gtk.

[maiden agate]

Their are dlss mods though.

So far dlss 2 and 3 I believe are out.

[pastel coral]

Yup, I have one picked out for dlss 3.

My rig runs dlss 3 now, recently upgraded it.

[maiden agate]

Where did you find your dlss 3 mod?

[pastel coral]

Nexus.

[maiden agate]

I’ll have to check that out. It wasent available on nexus when I last checked, only on a patreon page 😝

[pastel coral]

Give me a few minutes to crank up my system, I'll try to get the mod name for you. I'm on my phone atm.

Can we put nexus links here?

[warped light]

Im on a 2060 get 30 - 40 on ultra 100% res and sharp. 60 fps on low

No mods ill point out running on fsr

[pastel coral]

Thanks! That gives me hope!

[warped light]

Big city atlantis i get 25 30 though

And np dude lmk how it works out for u. Lmk that dlss 3 mod also

[sly bane]

Mod for 3050rtx never?

[pastel coral]

The DLSS mod I was thinking of is called Starfield Upscaler - Replacing FSR2 with DLSS or XESS.
Says it supports DLSS2 though, not 3 (sorry).

Alas, I had my memories crossed with another High-Res Texture Pack 4K that says it can use DLSS2 or 3. I don't think there is a DLSS3 mod yet.

Time for bed. Hopefully I can add more to the chats tomorrow. Happy Modding and Gaming everyone!

[open zodiac]

Is there a mod yet that increases the amount of money shops have? Tired of selling like 5 items and the shopkeep is then broke

[sly bane]

Ahahahahha

Yeah

Really

5k for mercant..

[fathom wadi]

Can some one make a ammo crafting mod for Xbox version and also up the amount of money the vendors have cause Jesus

[pastel coral]

Nexus has a mod called Add More Credits to Vendors (Workaround) .
The modder says...
This mod probably will disable your Archivements. use the Archivement Enabler to avoid this!

[fathom wadi]

You pc people are lucky as hell, I wish I had mods

[dapper galleon]

There is no modding for us yet

Hope it’s soon though

[pastel coral]

I hope it's soon for y'all too.
G'night!

[real vale]

mods not supports on xbox app for pc version yet correct?

[warped light]

Yes search on YT

[clear ember]

They confirmed already that Xbox X/S will have mod support sometime after or as soon as CR2 is released.

But there’s no release window yet, we could see it in a few weeks or in a few months, no one knows yet!

[cold topaz]

just dumping things out of my head as they pop in here: a neuroamp that gives you a VATS equivalent

[maiden agate]

There is a dlss 3 mod out, it’s just on patreon behind a paywall.

[dapper galleon]

When can we expect mods on Xbox? So like Skyrim and Fallout? Any information out there for this ? Or at least Creatin Club content ?

[pseudo trail]

1

[clear ember]

It is confirmed to be coming.
But there is no release window sadly, for all we know it could come out next week or in a couple months!

[wide perch]

Sell to TA then find a chair/bed and wait

[clear ember]

Still not a very efficient way to sell resources, I think most people can agree that the vendors should’ve had way more credits than they have

[kind panther]

I’m sitting here thinking of a destiny mod for starfield.

[open zodiac]

I think that you should get a bit for for selling ships. I’d say around 10% of its value IMO

[wide perch]

Well I never said it was, however it’s still better than a random npc lol

[tough grail]

There is at least a mod for reducing the cost for registering (which otherwise eats up almost the entire amount unregistered ships sell for)

Without it, it's not worth the hassle of taking other ships (for profit)

[lone notch]

One day mods will be on Xbox 🙏

[clever totem]

Theoretically, you can. It's just jumping part, making the different jumps sort of infinite, putting in double jumpos then triple jumps with a certain item, and then, adding in the power to make something similar. I know that I atleast might be looking forward to making Gjallarhorn weapon projectile mod like I did for Fallout 4 in the past.

[echo tendon]

does anyone have the link to the offical SF mods Disc?

[harsh falcon]

anyone know how to find 'gpu_configurations.json'?

[topaz python]

What launcher should I use for mods? Vortex or Mod Organizer?

[strong mica]

Are mods releasing on xbox anytime soon?

[topaz python]

Most likely in the next patch.

[analog tinsel]

Is nexus my best source for starfield mods? Idk if I'm going to use any yet, I just want to see what's available already

[honest wedge]

I think it is, usually always used it for various games, also the StarUI mod is amazing for better inventory

[ebon ibex]

When is the next patch coming

[loud crag]

Anyone know of a mod that increases ship cargo space?

[untold wadi]

Will there be the creation kit soon?

[untold wadi]

Would like to know that aswell

[wispy turtle]

does anyone know why when I search someone and go into their inventory then I don't have light on suits, backpacks etc?

[wispy turtle]

nevermind i fix it

[celest pike]

I hope someone figures out a mod to display the follower when using their inventory instead of the player.

[amber tendon]

need a mod to save presets for ships 😦

[timber badge]

What is interesting about Starfield modding to me is that the CK may turn out to be actually somewhat irrelevant. 🤔

The systems you can change with the CK are fine for the most part. The most popular mod requests are things like expanded inventory and DLSS (already a thing) and vehicles (requires a SFSE plugin).

So if you only use the CK, you're basically bikeshedding.

This is different from Skyrim, where the biggest problem was that the game systems were bad and the only important non-CK mod was SkyUI. 🤔

[magic wagon]

Hi, Idk if anyone knows but for starfield mods that go in documents, do you have to set the ini as read only or nope, thanks for answering whoever, does 🙂. New to all this modding 🙂

[young barn]

Someone please make a walking speed mod. I like to RP walk but everyone walks sooooo much faster! I just want to walk the same speed as everyone else 😭

[median basin]

How do you start making mods, learn c++ then what

[fluid carbon]

It depends on what kind of mods you want to make. we a waiting on the creation kit 2 tool to be available to make mods, some type of mods can be made without the ck2.'

[woven hamlet]

It's not just learn c++ lol. It takes years and years of knowledge and practical experience to make good mods

[mortal lake]

WTB Star Citizen's/Tarkov's speed slider on the mouse wheel

[agile bronze]

Maybe this isn't the right place to ask, but I was wanting to start work on a mod that edits some of the particles. They are in some '.psfx' format. Any ideas how to modify these?

[harsh falcon]

Could blender be use to make animations for starfield?

[gentle ridge]

Hey guys ✌️, someone have a ideia of how to make the mechanics for land and takeoff in real-time? Like NMS and StarCitizen

[fluid carbon]

Fo4 needed 3DS Max 2016 or older, that's probably what you will need for SF

[fluid carbon]

From what I see they are different cell, that moon is only a skybox till you load the land in. New highy altitude cells would need to be created for each body

[harsh falcon]

Dang. Wanted to try to make some weapon animations

[fluid carbon]

Look at the file type and see if the same as Fo4

[hollow walrus]

"2016 or older" ... or OLDER ? the new one wont work?

[fluid carbon]

It's a paid subscription for about $400 / month

[gentle ridge]

😪😪

[harsh falcon]

It could be possible, but it would probably have to have a seamless loading screen.

[hollow walrus]

im getting so annoyed by 'subscriptions' just to keep using software ... or open your files made with such software ... grr

adobe was the first to p* me off with that s*

[harsh falcon]

Like, in warframe for example, they'll have a loading screen that you can move the ship around still. Something like that could probably be added to starfield. Have some atmosphere around to make it seem like you're flying into the planet. @gentle ridge

[hollow walrus]

all those assassin creed games where you are in a matrix like area and can run around in circles 😄

what is a bit annoying though, is 'text' during loading screens, where the loading is to ofast to read through the text blurb haha 😂

[harsh falcon]

You'd probably have to set a navigation route for starfield though, otherwise you'd probably land on a generated tile

[fluid carbon]

If you want to get into animation "Art Toots" has a good playlist https://youtu.be/yb6JKWZNyq8?feature=shared

[rocky cobalt]

Hi all, any thoughts on how to restore the landing sequence on previously visited locations

Getting dumped outside my ship is annoying

I fully support those who want the option to skip it, but the requirement to do so is jarring.

[finite talon]

The streamer that flew into pluto had clouds in the last bit of her flight. Can't those clouds be used as a loading screen the way the new Star Wars Outlaws is planning on doing it?

[warm ice]

What kind of performance boosts have you guys gotten from the DLSS mod?

I'm locked at 60fps, but I'm still seeing dips belowe 55fps while in new atlantis, even with the DLSS mod. I have a 3080 and 5900x for reference.

[sturdy wagon]

One thing I hope someone mods in is a framework that will let you import/export ship designs and also take those ship designs and actually put them ingame - meaning not just as a 'buy all the parts and assemble it yourself', but that you could buy the fully assembled ship listed among the regular ships, or even find it being used and steal it.

Also, on another note - abandoned ships we could rebuild? Like 'You found this wreck, of 'x' type and class, you can either pay [amount] to fully restore it, or find more wrecks of the same type to reduce that cost by a lot'.

[pale nest]

any news on the starEdit (like Fo4Edit) release

[lean oyster]

Been wondering as well

Who knows

[sturdy wagon]

Still going through and figuring out what all the different record type are, last I heard. So, progress, but it's gonna be a bit

[lean oyster]

New game

They will be enjoying it

Mod support will come

We need Nifskope support as well

And an updated nif plugin for Max

Also an .afx plugin for Max

[pale nest]

thanks for info Kam Solastor

[lean oyster]

They do use Max 2017 though for Starfield

If you do animations then that's something you should be getting

[pale nest]

Autodesk 3ds Max 2017 not good for windows 11

Max 2017, wow the price, but not at price of 235/mo

[vernal bone]

Simple mod idea here:
A mod that swaps digipicks out of misc and into aid, as i keep throwing them into my cargo hold and then realise i have no picks 🤦

[young barn]

^^^^ please

[harsh falcon]

it just works

[sharp oar]

an idea too : mapping a shortcut to completely unequip weapon, to make unarmed fighting more fluid!

[nimble frost]

mod idea, add in star trek tricorder when you're scanning stuff

[young barn]

Trekkies (such as myself) would love that lol

[shrewd heart]

Does modding not work with gamepass version ?

[nimble frost]

I do have a whole bunch of trek mod ideas I want to package together, I don't know how to do animations so I'll have to learn that before doing the tricorder, but the hand phaser should be easy to do as a first step

[vernal bone]

battlestar galactica anyone 🤭

[lapis ridge]

They should add beaming to the planet like in Star Trek.

and of course, Star Wars speeders.

[nimble frost]

phasers and photon torpedoes for ships

[tough grail]

Works just fine for me, well.. it did, now I'm not sure.

Anyone knowlegable about vortex? It started throwing me errors saying mods can't be deployed because symlinks are no longer supported for the game.. but everything worked fine yesterday?

[vernal bone]

would a multiple followers mod be overkill?

[buoyant gull]

I would assume the same as with Skyrim/Fallout 4 which is only part of the mods will work (usually texture/models swaps), for sure you can forget about anything that will be using some kind of script extender or achivement enabler

[sturdy wagon]

^ They have the game locked down pretty hard through the Microsoft/Xbox app.

[tough grail]

Well, it's not locked down hard nowadays.

[sturdy wagon]

I started playing the GamePass version to see if I would like it and then bought it on Steam - I had to find a third party tool to even export my saves because they (tried) to lock them down

[tough grail]

Ah yes, the saves. But mod wise, not had any issues so far (except vortex is being stupid today but that has nothing to do with the game itself)

[sturdy wagon]

Really don't understand Micro$oft some days

[sturdy wagon]

Isn't there a plugin that has to be used to support Starfield? Maybe try reinstalling it?

[fathom wadi]

Any news on console mods

[tough grail]

The plugin updated yesterday apparently, dunno if it borked out or something.

[sturdy wagon]

Probably won't have any word on it until we get the official CK dropped on us

[raw osprey]

Im using plenty of mods on the pc gamepass version, no issues. obviously youll never be able to use the script extender

[sturdy wagon]

Are you able to get an older version?

See if you can roll back

[fathom wadi]

What’s CK (Sorry for dumb question)

[sturdy wagon]

Creation Kit

Aka the official tool used to create mods

[fathom wadi]

Ah thanks

[sturdy wagon]

There's also xEdit which can be used for a lot, but that's community/player made

I like xEdit because it's more 'spreadsheet' like than 'find the hidden box under 5 menus to adjust the value you wanted to edit'

But you can't get a 'world view' of what you're making with it

So it's a lot harder if you're, say, making a house mod rather than just editing some values or making a copy of something

[late berry]

could you use xedit to change lets say vasco to kaiser?

[sturdy wagon]

Change how

[late berry]

switch models I suppose so you can essentially have kaiser as a companion

[fathom wadi]

Welp time to wait until CK is out and someone makes a economy mod for the traders, being on Xbox sucks, I’m to broke to have a good pc

[sturdy wagon]

Mmm... I think that would be do-able - bear in mind every spoken/written caption would reference the original name

[sturdy wagon]

Sadly with consoles you'll have to wait (assuming we get it but I don't see why we wouldn't) the 'Bethesda.net add-in' to, from the main menu, add mods that people make on PC then upload to Bethesda.net

[tough grail]

welp, can't seem to roll back the starfield extension for vortex..

Hopefully it is just a bug that they can fix.. Or I could try moving the staging folder and use hardlinks or something.

[sturdy wagon]

Have they talked about console mods for Starfield at all? I don't actually recall it being mentioned - but I might've just ignored that part during the videos

since I play on PC

[fathom wadi]

Mods should be coming to console I mean idk how it took for it to be on fallout 4 console

[vernal bone]

if i recall correctly it was sometime around 2017

when mods for fo4 came to console

[tough grail]

That was with creation club as well?

[vernal bone]

creation club was later around 2018

[tough grail]

The one that offered.. paid mods.. which turned into a steaming pile 😛

[sturdy wagon]

No surprise there lol

Though!

[fathom wadi]

Jesus Christ 1 year after the release, I can’t wait that long

[sturdy wagon]

The Creation Club did do one thing for SSE/Fo4 that was big for modding, in my opinion

It added that ESL/ESL-flagged-ESP file format

[fathom wadi]

Time to save up for a pc I guess

[sturdy wagon]

Which made making patches for mods and large load orders so much easier to manage

My SSE has about 1100 mods in it or so and is surprisingly stable

[tough grail]

No mods yet that I want to use that requires SE at least, might be bummed if I do since I'm on gp.

[fathom wadi]

A ammo crafting mod would be amazing for console, same with more money in trader

[vernal bone]

also with console mods they aren't changing the game as much as pc mods do, console mods for fo4 was stuff like more workshop items, patches stuff like that, if i remember it took longer to get approved for mods on console as they had to be checked before they were released to the public...

nexus i don't think checks the mods for pc

[tough grail]

Not tried those yet, but tempted to try the one that adds all ship parts to all ship techs.

Because gallivanting across the universe to find parts that I can only add there.. is just eh..

I wish there was a better (non-mod) way, like buying/unlocking blueprints for parts

[tough grail]

Just mostly mods that break their rules I think.

[prisma garnet]

when is the next patchhhh 😭

[lapis ridge]

They should to make the ini editor

I wonder if BethIni works?

[vernal bone]

basically and lets not forget those huge mods that were dlc sized, you would never get those on console, because as i said, they have to be approved

[tough grail]

Isn't there a tool on nexusmods for ini shenanigans already?

[lapis ridge]

🤔 I’ll have to check into that when I get home

[tough grail]

At least I think I saw one at some point

[lapis ridge]

Can’t wait for speeders and beaming to planets

Having a ship module that you step into to beam down would be cool

[tough grail]

Some form of land based vehicles at least.. and I'd love a mod that lets me add ships to my fleet without suddenly making them my home ship.

[lapis ridge]

Also having big galactic class ships that remain in space would be cool

Or a space station of sorts

[tough grail]

Like NMS?

[lapis ridge]

Sorta

But with the ship building elements

[tough grail]

It's clear that bethesda took at least some inspiration from nms.

[lapis ridge]

Yeah for sure. And cyberpunk

[tough grail]

The base building and exploration in general feel kind of NMSish (along with the mining)

[lapis ridge]

More streamlined versions

[sturdy wagon]

Definitely hope someone makes usable mechs 😄

[tough grail]

Shame they didn't do atmospheric flight

[sturdy wagon]

Complete with a mech-bay ship part to work on them

[lapis ridge]

That’d be pretty cool

Also the “business” part is lackluster

[sturdy wagon]

Mechwarrior? In my Bethesda RPG? It may be liklier than you think!

Click this totally-not-a-phishing-link-ad to find out more!

[tough grail]

Of course, mods that actually makes base and ship building less annoying would be nice 😛

[lapis ridge]

Yeah the rotate speed is so awful in base decorating

They offset the axis slightly

[hollow walrus]

slowly i turn, step by step, inch by inch ...

[tough grail]

I heard the offset was worse for ultra widescreen but I think I saw a mod that improved the rotation speed.

[lapis ridge]

[keen cloud]

I have a bit of a mod request. Anyone up for adding cargo terminals to the walls of all the ship landing bay modules so you dont have to keep wasting time entering the ship and loading the interior cells

[tough grail]

Would love that

[ionic thistle]

Does anyone know a way to change the location of Data folder for mods from Documents\My Games\Starfield to a different drive?

[mild relic]

can some one tell my why there is a data file in C:\Users\brand\Documents\My Games\Starfield?

[tough grail]

Somethingsomething stupid message of the day image?

[keen cloud]

Windows?

[tough grail]

I dunno if some version requires you to put stuff in that data folder for mods to work.

At least I haven't needed to for the gamepass version.

[ionic thistle]

I'm not sure if that's what you're asking but yes im on windows

[keen cloud]

cut and paste the data folder to wherever you want it on the drive

open a command line in the folder and use MKLINK to put a symlink in the original location

or you can look up a program called link shell extension which allows you to do this directly in explorer by adding a context menu when you right click a folder

[mild relic]

why doesn't Bethesda move it to the starfield folder because it is the only place to put your Textures mod and have them work?

i am just say it because of mod managers.

[keen cloud]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/mklink

[golden edge]

Maybe they just want to keep the original game directory intact and let mods run from external or other directory.. to prevent data corruption, overwriting of original files etc.

[mild relic]

but other mods work in the starfield folder

[keen cloud]

I just use Mod Organizer 2. It virtualizes the mod deployment process so nothing is stored on C: and its all kept under wherever you set the program to store it

[sour swallow]

So we have the Skyrim forever mod for skyrim that gives the game multiplayer.... I wonder how long we'll get that but for Starfield 🤔

[signal crag]

you can transfer in/out of your ship cargo if you're outside and nearby -- just use the menu (tab -> ship -> cargo hold)

[golden edge]

the mods that use root starfield folder are more connected to the exe and dll files i guess, like script loaders (extenders), reshade.. but anything related to the data folder (ba2 files, esm files) i think is external

[sour swallow]

Anybody thought about outpost rovers so you can drive around your planets with outposts?

[mild relic]

why would they do is that way?

[tough grail]

Fixed the symlink error in vortex, I just had to change a thing in the extension js from false to true.

[golden edge]

i dont know, could be by dev design or other reason.. cant really answer that

[keen cloud]

Transfer containers are not listed unless your in the actual terminal dont even show up if you access inventory from cockpit

[mild relic]

I gust don't install Textures using vortex then.

[keen cloud]

also there is no option to specify where to transfer things to if multiple inventories are available IE open a cargo container you can tab between your char the ship and the open container but in this scenario it only transfers to player inventory you cant select to send to the ship. If anything the game needs a buy to ship in addition to sell from ship option for vendors

[golden edge]

i dont use vortex, doesnt it have a way to change directory in that program? maybe they need to update the mod-manager then for this game.

[keen cloud]

Vortex is unstable and in my opinion too smart for its own good in that it thinks it knows best and does too much un needed "validation" as a result keeps breaking things MO2 is more stable and allows for manually installed mods to coexist with managed mods

[winter sleet]

I have a mod request, two actually:

1. bigger trees that increases the size of trees on all planets.
2. HD water similar to Water for ENB for Skyrim that has way more detail and better underwater visibility

[mild relic]

I am only using vortex because nexus mods manager is not update to use starfield yet.

[signal crag]

that's fair -- didn't think of this use case. agreed on the need for being able to select to/from when multiple inventories are available!

[golden edge]

im still learning alot of things myself, im not a coder.. but i finally know my way around a bit in the in-game console of starfield.. i change the font color to cyan.. and change settings ingame with setini "setting:section" .. when you change opacity of console, you can see realtime changes of graphics better

now i hope they will release some esm editor soon for this game like xEdit.. are useful things in there also

[keen cloud]

But yeah a Buy to Ship option would be good too but for ballance reasons this would only work when landed at a location with ship services so will not apply to small outposts without landing pads

[knotty hemlock]

Anything I can do to improve this usage? This is just at an abandoned mining outpost (exterior). No graphical mods, just ultra optimisations mod (but lowered some things to high). this is on an i7-10700K and 3070, 16gb ram

[golden edge]

its a heavy game, things that helped for me is FSR2, Dynamic Resolution, put Scaling Resolution at 77%, lowering shadow quality.. i play in 4k myself on a 4080.

[sand lava]

GPUs being at 100% is perfectly normal, it should do that for pretty much any game that's graphically demanding. it's time to worry when you're not getting decent performance and it's lower than 100%

[knotty hemlock]

Thanks, I just lowered by scaling to 70, I'm on 1440p, and have FSR2 running - I don't want to install that DLSS mod, hoping it will come with support eventually...

[golden edge]

I tried one of those DLSS mods, it doesnt really make that much difference, and sharpening wont work as it replaces FSR2 basically.. recently there was a new mod that includes DLSS3 and FG i believe, but people had crashes with fast travel and such

[sand lava]

I'd really like a mod that makes it so your weapons have power priority.

so, you have m1, m2, m3.

if you hover over m3 and click 3 times you should automatically draw from the m2 and m1 into m3. m2, from m1, and m1 as the base. It's super finicky to reduce on one M then put the same up on the other one.

[knotty hemlock]

Yeah it seems a bit early too, I'm sure I'll regret installing a heap of mods when inevitable updates come. It's not running badly I'm just being greedy lol, I've just installed basic UI mods atm

[golden edge]

i run some ini tweaks, reshade.. thats about it

oh yeah and a LUT-mod for improved colors

[knotty hemlock]

Is that mod worth it, the neutral LUTs one? or another?

[still moat]

Only mod I'm playing with currently is the 120fps UI mod. It's a must, tbh.

I am excited to see where this game can go in terms of mods.

[golden edge]

not the neutral mod that removes all the color, but lemme find it.. there are several LUT mods now

[knotty hemlock]

I'm very excited - I haven't downloaded that though as I heard it can affect animations too as per usual in BGS games?

I've downloaded the undelayed menu/pickup items and StarUI

[still moat]

I haven't seen it affect any animations. Not saying it won't, but I haven't noticed.

[knotty hemlock]

No probs, I might try it soon - will see how things pan out

[golden edge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/595

it has several strenghts of color, and a luma-mode

[still moat]

You can get it for just the space combat reticle and it won't mess with anything but that. If nothing else, treat yourself to a smooth aiming reticle

[knotty hemlock]

Thanks, funnily enough I'm alt-tabbed at that exact scene in the thumbnail lol

[sand sonnet]

It impacts some of the UI animations. Not like previous games where physics and character animations were tied to FPS.

[serene urchin]

Just gonna sit back and wait for the Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind planets to get ported into the game in 10 years

[golden edge]

but i still think that in the ESM files there might be imagespace variables that also affect color, at least in the older fallout games it was like that.. just no xEdit for Starfield out yet

[still moat]

I've always wanted a mod that explored the other continent. With the snake and monkey people.

Anyway, I feel like this game is going to be an incredible mod platform like Skyrim was

[serene urchin]

Snake AND monkey people? I only knew about the snakes

[golden edge]

The game is great, i just wish it had more improved space travel, like entering and exiting planets through the clouds, warp travel that keeps you stuck in a wormhole for a while, not just some cutscene and you instantly arrive somewhere

[still moat]

Yeah. Some of the books in Skyrim talk about an expedition and in the South there are Son Wukong style monkey people

[serene urchin]

Skyrim did no loading screens for cities, I'm sure eventually starfield might make it that far

[still moat]

The only reason there are loading screens for cities in Starfield is you're loading the entire area, including the city, when you land

[serene urchin]

Yeah

[golden edge]

I suppose its game-engine limitations, cell-based, or sector-based.. instead of total freedom and no borders

[serene urchin]

I imagine having a method where the engine streamed in the content as you got closer would be incredibly difficult

Lots of visible snapping if it were ever done, probably

[west comet]

Is it possible to install mods on the UWP version of Starfield?

[still moat]

I would have seen if I could make the loading seamless between areas. Sort of like Halo where you don't know the game is actually loading the next area

Though, I imagine there's a lot more loading than whatever Halo does, but it's just an example.

[golden edge]

Gamepass version has this folder "C:\Xbox Games\Starfield\Content"

[west comet]

Ah, amazing. I was worried for a second there.

[knotty hemlock]

Thnx, just installed the 50% version and looks really sweet

and I'm literally at the same place as the thumbnail lol, coincidence

[golden edge]

yeah i use Reshade with the DELC sharpener and its so detailed now

[sterile geode]

Any idea as to when Xbox can expect mod support?

[steep bobcat]

No

[west comet]

Is this the folder I would point Vortex to?

[jaunty mantle]

Not exactly "mods", but with x360ce, i managed to map my HOTAS to work with the game X360ce can map anything generic to a simulated x360 controller

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/272258624833978368/1149151313272258621/20230907_031445.mp4

[west comet]

I was going to do all of that, but then I realized there isn't enough actual piloting to make it worth it...

An xbox controller is good enough for me.

[jaunty mantle]

As i game with mouse and keyboard, steering the ship is rather annoying, and since i already had a hotas, why not lol

[west comet]

Plus, my hotas is a Thrustmaster Warthog - heavy, big and annoying to move out of the way when I am no longer piloting lol

[west comet]

Oh me too, mouse and keyboard all the way when not flying. But when I fly I just pick up my controller.

[jaunty mantle]

Aye. Mine's the "budget" thrustmaster t-flight hotas-X

[west comet]

Don't get me wrong, nothing against using it if you like it. Just, I didn't for the aforementioned reason.

on the warthog the throttle alone is like 10lbs or something lol

[jaunty mantle]

Indeed. Not saying "no, your controller is bad, mine's better", just you prefer the conveniency. i just wanted to make proper use of it again as last i used it was years ago with elite not-so-fun dangerous

[west comet]

Haha - I kinda miss the early days of Elite from time to time.

[jaunty mantle]

I'd want that personally. Mine's too lightweight xD

[golden edge]

Dont use Vortex, some mods uses game root folder, and some others need the folder in C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\Starfield

[west comet]

Its nice when playing sims - it doesn't flop around on my desk like my old x-52 from saitek did.

[west comet]

Oh - OK so no mod manager at all then, or is there an alternative? What about managing load order and whatnot - is that not a huge consideration?

[jaunty mantle]

@distant stream Hoi, could you dm me what bad word i used the bot deleted? As i forgot what i wrote, so i can avoid using that word here in the future.

[distant stream]

It was the S word

[jaunty mantle]

Oh, the worse than "poop"?

Goodie

[west comet]

Oh - good to know. Zero tolerance for even the milder curse words. Noted.

[knotty hemlock]

Thanks for the tips, this is the SGS LUTs only on left, and SGS LUTs with quantum reshade on right - very subtle difference but I like it

[golden edge]

Someone else mentioned Mod Organizer 2 as an alternative.. you could give that a try

[knotty hemlock]

I'm using MO2 which works so far - if you join their discord they have a beta out with native support for starfield

[jaunty mantle]

I find MO a bit clunky to use personally.

[knotty hemlock]

It's my first time using it over Vortex - as I heard so much about it, will see how it goes

I like the integrated tutorial and help options though

[golden edge]

i would recommend manually adding DELC sharpener in reshade yourself, its amazing

[jaunty mantle]

Aye. I tried to use it for skyrim SE after bethesda decided to beat a dead horse with updates that didn't benefit the game, but their wallet. So stopped modding/playing skyrim all together as who knows if it would get another mod breaking update that doesn't fix the game itself

[magic hull]

It was originally designed for beth games and probably has the most utility there. The other main advantage is the VFS which allows it to expose mods to the game without actually writing files to the game directory. But that also makes it unusable for the Windows Store games which are compiled in a way that prevents the VFS mechanism from working.

You have the same issue with the various script extenders.

[golden edge]

Yeah its the reason why i got the Steam version myself, other UWP games are always either encrypted, VFS stuff etc.. very protected and virtually sandboxed in a way

[knotty hemlock]

Is that why I don't have an SFSE/mods folder actually in my game directory, but I do in the MO2 view of the folder? I was confused at first by that but it works

[magic hull]

Yes, that's why we added the Explorer++ to allow you to see the virtualized view of the directory. (Though the data tab essentially gives you this as well.)

[jaunty mantle]

I sorta hope there's gonna be a mod, unless not possible due to engine's way of writing, but more computational tasks that has been moved to gpu to process, to be moved to the cpu so that i don't have to play at 70% resolution scale, shadows on lowest and medium everything else to get 70 fps in 1440p ultrawide on a frickin 3090 Looks so darn mushy

[knotty hemlock]

that explains a lot thanks, I was confused (no knowledge of the inner workings of mods, just installing them!)

[sick nexus]

i wish or hope there will be a mod that can seperate missions or set them in a catagory for what system missions are in

[jaunty mantle]

Ok, wish me luck, gonna see if i can find mods/alter the mods myself further to make starfield playable on the steam deck xD

[golden edge]

There are some ini values regarding GPU CPU stuff, multithreading.. but adjusting this could break the game or crash it.. i remember this from the fallout games

[jaunty mantle]

Huh, could you link to a article that states them? As i wanna try experimenting

[golden edge]

ill attach a text file here, one moment

[jaunty mantle]

Aye.

[golden edge]

There are all the ini-variables that were dumped somewhere.. not sure if they all work tho.

[jaunty mantle]

This for instance works for gameplays, but as soon as you enter the map, the game crashes

[jaunty mantle]

Sweet! Thanks! Just goes in starfieldcustom.ini right?

[golden edge]

yes, but copy paste only what you need, these are default values

[jaunty mantle]

Just saw this, and as i experimented with in baldurs gate 3, by setting it to few 100 times further away than stock, so i can zoom out to the entire tile

[sick nexus]

quick question about installing Neutral LUTs - No Color Filters it has a vortex button can i use that or should we still install manuely?

[golden edge]

manually, as vortex install it in the gameroot folder instead of my documents

[sick nexus]

thats what i was thinking but figured better to ask

[knotty hemlock]

I can't find DELC sharpener anywhere? qUINT comes up on google though when I search it - if I reinstall reshade should I install qUINT and use the sharpener?

or iMMERSE which appears to be an updated version also

[golden edge]

qUINT_sharp.fx

[knotty hemlock]

Thanks, I'm also downloading DLSS, have you got it to work with reshade or are you not using it?

[golden edge]

you might need to reinstall and choose the right effects, or use the addon edition of reshade

[knotty hemlock]

Yea I'm doing that and picking extras to try

[golden edge]

i dont use DLSS as i find FSR2 more sharp

[knotty hemlock]

No probs

[novel carbon]

How can I get clothing item IDs? Tried the help command but got errors back because the item names have spaces

[dapper galleon]

Try typing in the command but in parenthesis put the item. Ex: help "chicken and biscuits"

[golden edge]

additem (Item ID) (Value)

For example, if you wanted to add 500 bullets .27 Caliber ammo, you would type
additem 002B559C 500

[ruby dove]

Please, does anyone could create a mod to turn flight controls less "arcade". The current mapping options dont allow to tweak stick controls, only switch them. 🙏

[winter sleet]

anyone know or have a list of all the tree meshes? I want to replace some of the tree meshes with bigger models

BSA browser is ctashing on me

[viral violet]

Look for BAE

[quaint yoke]

Mods we need are: more space events/asteroids and debris, and a build anywhere mod for outposts

[viral violet]

Its working great 😄
https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/165

[winter sleet]

thanks

[tropic geode]

Question: Does the DLSS mod disable trophy's?

[stiff holly]

No

[tacit slate]

Has anyone made a mod yet that shows what quantities you have of items at workbenches so you don't end up making things you already have a ton of?

[winter sleet]

has anyone managed to change the meshes of trees? I renamed my tree models that what the files are in the BSA and it results in missing trees

no missing mesh error

just less trees

[azure wren]

Once the creation kit is release I wonder how difficult it will be to setup shops you can build in your outposts like you could in fallout 4.

[hazy rivet]

Hi everyone! I am using a ultrawide (32:9) monitor with a 5120x1440 for desktop and i'm using a RTX 3090. How can i get the best out of this setup regarding full screen (more immersive) gaming experience for Starfield? I can't seem to get a fullscreen or high(er) resolution. PM is ok, thanks 🤗

[worthy plover]

There were some solutions posted here that worked for me:
https://discord.com/channels/784542837596225567/1146967584604958780

[hazy rivet]

Have you tried the edit HEX, how did it go?

[stable swan]

Starwars mods when?

[proven tusk]

walk/run speed fix mod??

[magic hull]

I definitely wish the keyboard-toggle walk speed was a touch faster. You're barely moving.

[tranquil gazelle]

hey which performance mod do u guys think is best to download i kinda dont wanna mix lots of them i reinstalled the game fresh again ?

[narrow timber]

Ngl I'm major coping right now and I thought I'd start light by downloading just two mods (Script Extender & Baka Achievements Disabler). I did everything it asked in the description, when that didn't work I followed other solutions in the posts tab, I watched a few begginners modding guides like Gopher's and still I couldn't even launch the game

I'm at a loss and I have 0 clue what in the world is going on, I think the mod itself must be broken or my PC system is plagued. Honestly thinking of just waiting a few months before it fixes itself (hopefully)

[sand sonnet]

I would just use the other achievement mod in that case

[narrow timber]

Do you think Script Extender is broken?

Other people seem to be having issues, some fix it others don't

[flat seal]

Is there a list of all the loading screen tips? I want to read them but they disappear so quickly because my load screens last like 2 seconds

[narrow timber]

And yeah I'll do that after I finish reinstalling the game in 2 days (no joke), I uninstalled it cause I was fed up hahahaha

Now I'm waiting 2 days at my 5mb max speed to download it

[edgy shard]

Anyone know when the CK will be released ?

[sand sonnet]

Could be. I just didn't see enough mods requiring it to be bothered with installing it.

[edgy shard]

Nvm just read theres no ETA, big sad

[narrow timber]

What's your thoughts on Vortex vs Manual, is manual installation even possible?

I've always preferred manual but people say do Vortex

[sand sonnet]

I've been doing all of mine manually. As long as you remember to install them similar to a load order they work fine. Just a small pain to update but given how lightweight most of the mods are right now it's not that bad.

[dapper galleon]

is there a way to change the combat music?

[shy radish]

has anyone tried exporting/saving custom ship designs?
I assume the player custom ship is in the save file, so could be read & then used somehow

[unique flame]

Has anyone done the cross platform save thing yet??

[paper shore]

Does anyone else have the bug were they can't get Kumiho's Slate in the guilty party quest?

There's a blue dot on the desk, but it doesn't give me the option to pick it up.

[quasi flint]

Honest question, and feel free to point me in the right direction.
Is there a place people can request possible mods or vote on mod ideas?

[fluid carbon]

This is the place

[gloomy frost]

is StarUI showing DPS a new info? That info is not there without the mod right?

[desert merlin]

someone should make a mod where for some bounty missions you have track down the person then bring them in alive instead of always having to kill them

[cerulean surge]

any worthwhile mods out there yet?

[crystal yacht]

anyone using xbox app have an issue with mods just simply not working?

[glad jay]

When do mods drop on Xbox?

[frigid wyvern]

Indeed I mean you can have non-lethal weapons AND theres even a brig module for ships!

[desert merlin]

would be give off big "Early Mandalorian" vibes for the star wars fans

[cedar dagger]

any mods to get all the ship parts at any place you build? it's a struggle trying to fly around and plan at the same time

[glossy flicker]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/721?tab=description

[brazen sundial]

Any mods that actually give me the main quests ?

[worn granite]

Anyone make a mod that creates a Pokédex of all our surveyed planets and fauna and flora yet?

[slate elbow]

Honestly surprised, the game doesn't have that. Like, "which planet had the 'fiber' beasts on it?"

[echo tendon]

Anyone know how to edit .esp files yet?
😅

[marsh echo]

is there going to be a multiplayer mod guys

[worthy plover]

I added a new message to that chat with complete instructions! 🙂

[brazen sundial]

I’ve done this Cory it does give me all the quest but for some reason it won’t give me main quest missions

For context I finished into the unknown and it didn’t give me the next main quest

Yeah ive had a ticket in for awhile and they ended up just stop replying to me

It’s been like this since day 3 of early access

Wdym?

Ok

[knotty hemlock]

Man this looks pretty nice IMO with LUTs mod and reshade etc

[marsh echo]

ah gotcha

[gloomy frost]

Yeah NeutraLUT is awesome, As a virtual photographer I started being inspired way more to take shots, even in Atlantis that I found weird before.

[young barn]

Mod Idea(or maybe It’s something I can do myself?): Allow settlements to be built next to iconic spots on earth/the moon. I want to incorporate some of those sites into my settlement builds

[nocturne quest]

which reshade

i want to get quantum but idk if itll tank my fps

[fathom wadi]

Next year for mod tools apparently, why must Todd do this to us

[haughty pebble]

can someone tell me if i'm installing the Neutral LUTs mod correctly for game pass version?

[nocturne quest]

i dont mind, so long as they are doing it

[prime depot]

im about to start my playthrough. Do you guys recommend I play a little first before adding Mods, or do it from the beginning?

[nocturne quest]

depends what kind of mods youre after

most mods are performance and hud related, those don't hurt to install

[regal nacelle]

Hey guys, just knew about this channel... So I play through GamePass, I found some videos and got my attention on some mods like DLSS and BetterHud, the thing is that on those videos some people says it works on Free GamePass and other people says only Steam... So... Would I be able to use it?

Don't know what that is hahaha

Neither... Would be my first time

Tx

[echo tendon]

Anyone found any guides for modding. (Not how to install mods)
Would like to have a fiddle myself for a few different items.
Are people just using the existing tools for Fallout4 successfully?

[regal nacelle]

Dou you need the achievments mod for GamePass as well?

[blissful hedge]

I hope the planet generation will be moddable. Walking 400M-1000M for each POI isn't great. Boost pack doesn't really help with forward velocity either. Maybe about half the distance would be better. I just can't motivate myself to explore.

[nocturne quest]

if achievements get blocked itll tell u right? i want the enhanced healthbar mod but idk if it blocks achievement

[elder plover]

When will modding be available on Xbox

[honest wedge]

There is mod that enables achievements on modded game

[nocturne quest]

ik but it requires constant updating so im not willing to do that for at least a year when updates slow

[craggy zealot]

Could it even be possible to mod seamless flight into the game?

[sinful isle]

Any Xbox mods to patch bugs

[craggy zealot]

Xbox doesn’t have mod support rn.

[sinful isle]

Dam it lost 8 days of game play due to game glitches

[dapper galleon]

Could someone share a save that has the uc storyline completed with not much of the main line done??

[clear ember]

Mods coming for Xbox sometime next year

[dapper galleon]

How do you know that?

[maiden agate]

Didn’t Todd Howard say it in an interview just recently?

At least that’s what I read.

[dapper galleon]

I don’t know

[dapper galleon]

Where?

[echo tendon]

A ship module (SRV Bay) would (imo) be the best implementation for this.
It would be a module similar to the Landing Bay, but holds a surface recon vehicle.

[maiden agate]

In that article he mentions mod support being for both Xbox and pc.

[clear ember]

https://s.famitsu.com/news/202309/06315728.html.
Todd- “you will be able to do almost anything like the previous works. Mod will be supported next year, but we also love it, so we will do it on a large scale.”

[toxic forge]

Is it possible to do a mod for animations for Aid items?

I was thinking of adding a Use prompt/button for all AID items.

For all AID items when you see them out in the environment a prompt comes up to press a button to Take or to Use.

Take = what it does now add to inventory.
And the Use button triggers an animation to use the item without putting it in your inventory.

I just think it would be cool to have animations eating and drinking.

I think it would only take a few animations.

One for drinking
One for eating
One for bandages
One for injection
One for inhaling

[clear ember]

Also before people start losing their minds over it being next year, keep in mind that the new year is only 3 months away, they could release mod support for Xbox in January or even a couple months after.

Next year doesn’t always mean a LONG wait

I’m sure Bethesda wants to work on any bugs and other minor/major stuff before releasing it so it’s better optimized to handle the mods that come with the release.

Plus they already have a DLC in the works for it as well, that’s another big piece of work they’ll have to focus on

[maiden agate]

Rumours are that it will be very early next year too.

[blissful hedge]

Vehicle would be best yeah but I’m not holding my breath for vehicles if it didn’t make it in the initial release

[echo tendon]

From a business perspective also, Bethesda know that the modding community will go out of their way to port previous game tools to Starfield.
Its much easier & cheaper to wait for this to happen rather than take resources (devs, time/money) away from the official game and its support.

[maiden agate]

I don’t care for adding vehicles, but if they don’t bring back Mechs, that will be a huge missed opportunity.

[clear ember]

Exactly, whenever most people hear the words “you have to wait till next year” they go bezerk over it as if it’s a decade away

[clear ember]

I second this, it sounds like mechs can provide decent means to travel and more

[maiden agate]

And just imagine the new battle system opportunities.

[clear ember]

True, maybe even the ability to build your own mech and have a plethora of weapons and other equipment would be amazing

[maiden agate]

I’m really dying to see what people build with the planets though.

At some point someone needs to add underwater exploration.

[clear ember]

Once we get no build limits and other mods for outposts it’s going to be insane

[toxic forge]

I think floating vehicles would be ideal, that way you don't have to worry about vehicle physics to match the terrain.

[torpid sparrow]

Does anyone know if there are any armour/weapon skin mods, or if there's any in the works? 🙏🥺

[maiden agate]

I don’t think they can create new armour mods. Mostly right now I think it’s just recolours and stuff.

People will have to wait till full kids support comes to create new stuff.

[tough grail]

Dunno, but I'd kill for armor skins or transmogs

[torpid sparrow]

Yeah, that's what I want. 🥲 I want to colour my armour

[maiden agate]

Theirs tons of recolours on nexus.

[torpid sparrow]

Oh, there is? I'll have to check them out! Thank you!

[maiden agate]

Right now I’m just rocking the Neutral LUTs mod and Alpha Chad reshade.

Makes the game look so incredible.

I wanted to use the DLSS 3 and FG mod but it’s broken if you have a reshade being used. 😩

[tough grail]

I'm on a 1080 with an i7-4770k so no dlss or fancy graphics for me. The game still looks great on medium settings though.

Not had to use any performance mods either

Neutral luts, that I use

[golden edge]

Quick bloom-fix for reduced bloom effect, open in-game console and type

setini "fBloomUpsampleBlendFactor:Display" 0.35 or even lower (0.48 is default value)

[tough grail]

I'm suprised that there are so few follower reskins, but perhaps that's harder without proper tools?

[toxic forge]

Anyone else think the NAT (train) at the MAST needs a new look? The lines on it flicker and it just doesn't look very good to me.

[tough grail]

All I see are reskins of default follower clothing

[solid monolith]

I'm WAY too ready to start making my own ship modules, straight up. Anyone have any guesses about texture sizes of the exteriors? Probably lots of 4096s, yeah?

[tough grail]

Wonder if it's possible to mod so we can flip parts more freely

[leaden fractal]

Is there a troubleshooting/dummy guide to installing mods? I’ve done everything a few mods have told me to do, such as create the Ini and put everything in my data folder that’s in my documents, but none of the mods have been showing up

[tough grail]

Though that might require modifying existing snap points

[solid monolith]

I just hope it's easier to get custom assets working in-game... Kinda hoping we won't even have to jack with Nifskope, but the chances are probably low.

[echo tendon]

which one in particular?

[leaden fractal]

Was just trying to get Eyes of Beauty to work but there was no change on the replacer version. Also tried an outfit recolor and it had no change either

[tough grail]

For me I just had to have a custom in my user folder and put the mods in the data folder, on cp. Also, texture mods are finicky

Either turn off motd and delete the textures folder in documents or put texture mods there instead of the game folder

[echo tendon]

Things to check.

Have you got an StarfieldCustom.ini in your \Documents\MyGames\Starfield?

[leaden fractal]

So I’ve seen =\ I got SFSE and Baka’s achievement working perfectly too.

[tough grail]

Isn't there a SFSE for gp now as well?

[leaden fractal]

Yep just did a fresh install and created that and typed it out instead of copying pasting bc I had seen it could be finicky if copy pasted

[echo tendon]

do you have these 3 lines in the custom.ini?

[leaden fractal]

Yep—and I triple checked bevause sometimes my keyboard doesn’t press on keys and misses a letter

[echo tendon]

Have you deleted the \STRINGS line in the StarfieldPrefs.ini (same directory)

[leaden fractal]

I didn’t try that—I powered down my machine for the evening but I’ll try that in the morning

Otherwise I was putting the files in the My Documents/Starfield/Data folder

[echo tendon]

let me find the exact line, mines gone so I cant copy pasta

[leaden fractal]

Appreciate it greatly!

[echo tendon]

sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS Starfield.ini not Prefs, my mistake.

[leaden fractal]

Awesome, I’ll test that out and delete that line and see what happens!

[echo tendon]

failing that, I did notice the first mod you said had a Video link attached half way down the page

[leaden fractal]

Yeah it was hidden between the photos haha, but I watched it and it was more or less the same steps as the other mods were saying but no one said to touch that line in the Starfield.ini

[regal nacelle]

Guys i tried using Vertox but couldn’t make it work haha I should’ve ask for help here but it didn’t seem to work, tried the BetterHUD and DLSS but none showed ingame so tomorrow I’ll try again asking here for assistance to do it manually and no screw it over haha

[echo tendon]

I recommended it because I have got 2 mods that didnt cooperate until I got rid of that line

Im not technical enough to explain why, but thats what got mine working.

[golden edge]

There were also instances were if you copy paste stuff from sites into ini files, it creates a hidden string that is only visible with a hex-editor. reverse byte string or something.. and the only way to get rid of that is to convert the ini to UTF8 format and remove the DOM.. or replace the ini file entirely from scratch.

[echo tendon]

would ctrl+shift+v sort that out?

[golden edge]

no idea, but i know with notepad++ or any advanced text editor, you can easily convert it to UTF8 format and remove that DOM and those hidden byte strings

[maiden agate]

For people having trouble with mods. Make sure to check if the folder your placing mods into is branching off of onedrive.

If it is, they might not work.

[leaden fractal]

Oh shoot wait can that be an issue?

[maiden agate]

It was for me.

As soon as I disabled the backup for documents it worked.

[leaden fractal]

I may also try this as one drive is active on my computer

[late berry]

dont know if this is the right channel but has anyone played with the commands and tried to get a custom follower?

[narrow timber]

Sorry for the late response, is there a guide on this anywhere? I can't seem to figure out manual installation

Also what do you mean by "install them similar to a load order". If I had to guess does it mean to plan out all the mods I'll use and install them one after the other to simulate a "load-order"?

[narrow timber]

How did you do this? I couldn't get it to work for the life of me

Followed it step by step, when that didn't work I followed the ones in the mod post sections

Still nothing

I'm using steam and have the starfieldcustom.ini enabled

[valid wing]

Is it going to allow modding on console?

[honest wedge]

Is there mod to adjust bloom in the game? I noticed the bloom is way too high in some places, one is the name plates above the doors in Mars Cydonia can barely read the room names in them because the white light has so much bloom

[golden edge]

Add this to your StarfieldCustom.ini file and you should be good to go. you can lower the values if you still think its too much

fBloomUpsampleBlendFactor=0.35
fVolumetricLightingIntensity=0.3

oh i forgot, you have to add these lines in the ini file under [Display]

[honest wedge]

Oh thanks!, Its wild there is lots of graphic settings in the files like texture quality but they are not in ingame settings..

[golden edge]

True, most games are like that, tons of hidden settings in the game-engine. but not in the normal menu's ingame

[plain quest]

hey are SFSE and DLSS mod compatible?

[quasi flint]

Anyone know if there is a mod that can highlight resources without having to have the scanner up?
it's kind of annoying to have to open the scanner just to see what items you can pick up, on top of not being able to open doors and some containers.

[golden edge]

I think that would have side-effects since the scanner also changes your gun to the Arc one, or the mining one

[quasi flint]

idk it would just be nice to be able to select certain resources and have it highlighted throughout the systems so you don't have to have the scanner up every time you need to spot items/resources.

[static pivot]

Hello peeps, wanted to get into modding for starfield, but I don't want to wait for the creation kit 2. Can you recommend some online tutorials for script extenders and tools that would help me to learn modding? I have no problem with programming in c++ and I have basic experience of modding Minecraft with jk16. I appreciate any helpful tips or videos

[prime depot]

The only Mod I seem to have gotten to work is the InventoryUI one

the #1 Starfield mod. Of course that would be easy

the rest, not so much\

what are some of you running?

[honest wedge]

Oh Yeah the StarUI is lovely, Used FallUI etc in Fallout too, I also use Natural LUT's, removes the color filters etc

[prime depot]

I can't seem to get that one to work

did you just download to Vortex?

or something else

btw I just read up above and deactivated my Onedrive. That may have been affecting it

[honest wedge]

I used manual installation, I found it weird that some mods goes into the main game folder data folder but some mods goes into the documents/mygames/starfield/data

Like I had to install the StarUI in the documents one, not in the main game folder

[prime depot]

I did the regular Vortex download for that

ill try that tomorrow with the Natural LUT

[honest wedge]

inb4 we get "Sim settlements" but Sim outposts

[agile spindle]

Any mod or mehanic that lets you eat food directly from the game world? WIthout picking it up in the inv first?

[vapid elbow]

It's amazing they got rid of things like that from 76 and such. Thought they would just continue to build on what they had with this new engine.

[tribal yew]

For now DLSS and a mod to enable the achievements while using mods. I however got something downloaded to remove the dark "shadow" bars behind subtitles and dialogue selectors which is waiting for installation

Still waiting for MO2 to support Starfield 😛

[honest wedge]

For now I just manually install mods

[pure comet]

praying we get creation kit in a reasonable timeframe, mods are bleak atm lmao

[honest wedge]

Think fallout 4 took 3months for modding tools, and I think Todd said somewhere that Starfield gets them early next year

[pure comet]

Fallout 4 took almost a year

but it'll take as long as it takes, it's a big job

[carmine cloud]

so ~ any news for xbox mod ?

[echo tendon]

In a nutshell - It would take less time to save money for a PC to enjoy what mods are coming in the short term future 🙂

[pure comet]

Xbox modding will be a long way off, yeah

Modding is a PC thing that gets sort of mostly ported over

[maiden agate]

I hope we get some mods that fix the facial expressions. Everyone in the game gives me serial killer vibes.

[late berry]

I just want to have kaiser as my follower 🥲

[river yew]

Anyone know if there is progress on xEdit for starfield?

[junior cargo]

I'm using the game pass version, what kind of modding support is available there rn? Should I just play base game and wait for official mod support or is it not too hard to add mods to game pass version?

[river yew]

Anything not needing SFSE (Starfield Script Extender) is pretty simple to add for gamepass unless the mod says otherwise

[junior cargo]

and then i guess anything that does i just cant use atm?

[thick mango]

[river yew]

pretty much, just read the mods page and if its compatible with gamepass or not 🙂

[junior cargo]

wonder if theres plans to try to get sfse working with game pass at all?

may have to eventually buy the game on steam

[river yew]

I've seen some gamepass sfse version but idk how functional it is

[junior cargo]

ah, i might test and see if it breaks things, but im gonna load my game and make a backup save first

just in case so i dont lose progress, im not too far in the main story yet

but already at like lvl16

[mental aurora]

Can you center the 3rd person camera with ini tweaks?

if so, what are the tweaks?

[dapper galleon]

Is there a mod for better inventory management and accessing all ship/crew inventories quickly and at the same time? Like a vault with different chests as in Diablo or WoW etc...?

[tribal yew]

I do the same same but using MO2 one has way better management options, especially when it comes to just disable a mod instead of removing the files manually for debugging purpose, to keep track on mod updates and on selecting what actual executable is used to launch the game 🙂 It really makes great difference if one has tons of mods later on (also playing Fallout 4 with it this really makes a difference and for me it's just more handy than Vortex)

[dry moat]

will there be mods for xbox?

skyrim and fallout 4 do so i am thinking this will get mod support too right?

[buoyant gull]

they will add it sometime later, yes

[dry moat]

wow, thanks for the info

[buoyant gull]

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/starfield-mod-support-is-coming-to-pc-and-xbox-after-launch/1100-6517396/

[urban goblet]

Any mods to help with performance on pc game pass? And instructions on how to install?

I haven't been able to play on PC cause it freezes. Hoping I can

[sterile summit]

Hi was wondering where a good place to start modding starfield is, is there any resources people can recommend

[molten viper]

Need a mod to unlock all ng content in first ng+. Please.

[amber fractal]

great just gotta wait over 4 months for the game to be playble

[solemn chasm]

Hello Everyone.
Can we hope one day to be able to build our space station in space ? 🤤🤔🤪

[slow thunder]

dlss mod

and there is a mod where it increases fps by just optimising the settings but looks the same, and runs better

[buoyant gull]

does game pass version works with dlss mod?

[steep bobcat]

Cool idea

Suggestion (not my idea but I like it): dog follower. Like this.

https://tenor.com/view/cosmo-thinking-look-up-cosmo-the-space-dog-look-gif-27558429

[knotty citrus]

A ship pet would be cool like a dog but I imagine the dog world have to stay on the ship or base or in breathable locations

Space Dogmeat 🤪

[steep bobcat]

Why?

[hard bone]

I heard that star field is just fallout

[steep bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-galaxy-space-gif-12915784

[earnest cedar]

Any mods that separates junk in a separate folder to sell all

[amber bolt]

Anyone here know a good way to get the textures for starfield to be properly saved ? Currently they cause CTD since they are not saved in DXGI_FORMAT_BC1_UNORM_SRGB which I cannot find a way to do anywhere. Any help is appreciated 😄

[velvet otter]

Todd says January will be the month for creation kit and mod... hope for xbox

[steep bobcat]

Source?

[raw osprey]

“Some time next year” translates to “January” to some people lol.

[leaden fractal]

If you give me a little bit of time and didn’t already get a solution I can write out what I did! I’m out of the house atm and I’m going to be reinstalling my files xD

[potent breach]

The problem is the way MS handles Gamepass files. From what I remember of Script Extender for other BGS titles, it needs to usurp control of the .exe to inject the extender...and MS won't relinquish control of it.

While it *might *be different for Starfield, I doubt it.

I'd love for it to be available for the GP version.

Hell, my Logitech software can't even access the .exe to change mouse profiles when the game is running from GP. LOL

[oak venture]

I wait sone month then i go from my premium xbox to steam best solution i think ..just wait for gore mods😅

[potent breach]

Probably what I will be doing as well. There are a couple mods I want to make, but I'm not the hardcore coder type, so I'll be waiting for the tools to be released...and I will probably need the Steam version then because I don't know if the GP version will allow the tool kit to access the files.

[oak venture]

But the tools takes time this is the problem you think modder can do gore mods or other changes without creation tools? Idk i never create a mod

[hollow walrus]

mmm gore mods ... those are fun additions

[dapper galleon]

I want the stupid sanitation bot as a pet

[hot anvil]

I believe that the Creation Kit for Starfield will be in the first quarter next year to be honest also third party tools always pop up faster.

[potent breach]

There are a few hundred mods right now, so I know it can be done without the Creation Kit. I'm just too old and too busy to figure out how to do it without the kit.

[versed glacier]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/1379/

[oak venture]

the information is enough for me so i dont have to wait creation kit release and with luck i have my bethesda combat back in few months or weeks

[sudden jewel]

Thou shalt slow thy roll.

[wraith vector]

Hey, so I'll try to provide clarity as much as possible.

Just a query.

I had an issue with a Main Quest mission in which I finished one and the other never started. A small 3 hour annoyance of trying different methods to no avail. Essentially a quest bug.

This is on the Xbox App. I was using PC at the time.

I then, not wanting to start my 3 days play through all over again I decided to use console commands to prompt the next mission. Using Setstage (Mission ID) 0.

This worked!

It hasn't effected my Xbox Play anywhere ability between my PC and Xbox and it is still recognising my saves and syncing fine. I thought it would be no issue, and it wasn't.

However now, as warned, I can't get Xbox achievements. A somewhat harsh punishment for someone who just wanted to continue playing Constelation missions.

Plan...

Could I potentially Download the achievement Enabler mod and put it within xbox files, I heard from sources it works with xbox. This edits the save files to no longer disable achievements I think. Or just the game itself. If I added these would achievements now work with play anywhere? on both devices? is it going to cause some catastrophic incident where the world implodes. Will I lose syncing between both devices.

It's a unique problem and I'll be surprised if anyone else has attempted the same, maybe not vocally.

Thanks if anyone can assist.

[versed glacier]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/831

[versed glacier]

Maybe no dismemberment, but if it's only about graphics, of course you can make them textures look bloodier. I think to recall that I even saw something in the esm about blood.

[dapper galleon]

Is can somebody make a mod where it gives you an Is actual map

I've been running around certain planets and can't seem to find where any of the shops are

[versed glacier]

I would, but that is above my skills. D:

[versed glacier]

Try to use your handheld scanner instead.

[dapper galleon]

your scanner can highlight shops.?

[versed glacier]

I think I read that somewhere, that you can see shops on the scanner, but I might be mistaken.

[oak venture]

oh no disambernet is the thing i need first why bethesda make starfield first combat without this feature dont understand 😄 they can do uncut patch and i pay for

[dapper galleon]

I love Starfield but I don't understand why they couldn't make maps For certain planets.

[small pecan]

Anyone tried this one yet? https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/1043

[versed glacier]

I think it'll be possible for all planets to make a pretty procedurally generated map.

[small pecan]

Makes the enemy AI act like a cohesive unit. They actually move cover to cover as a team to put pressure on you and try to draw you out of cover. They seem to be using tactics. It's fun.

[velvet otter]

sozz..i have it just in my own language..

https://multiplayer.it/notizie/starfield-supporto-ufficiale-mod-arrivera-2024-spiega-todd-howard.html

[dapper galleon]

I heard that Starfield keeps crashing on like Xbox Series X I'm playing on an Xbox One. Using cloud gaming, and it doesn't crash.

[small pecan]

Just tracked you and your mods, and gave some kudos. Very nice work. It's amazing how fast really good mods are coming out for this game.

[versed glacier]

Thank you! 🙂

[mighty turtle]

40 bucks for someone to install these mods for me via teamviewer

[velvet otter]

never happened (xbox x)

[steep bobcat]

Where does it say January?

[versed glacier]

What are you struggling with?

And are you on Gamepass or Steam?

[mighty turtle]

Wanna get these mods installed

https://youtu.be/uWlFWJ8WLeg?si=10lxO0Pa4s6CtjCf

Gamepass

[wraith vector]

Is everyone using achievement Enabler? Or just not bothering?

[mighty turtle]

I am

[steep bobcat]

Cart, please allow achievements for Starfield and Skyrim, and FO4 with mods. No reason not to.

[versed glacier]

Yeah, I have it. I feel like, if I don't use mods to cheat, achievements should be enabled.

[plain quest]

has not crashed on x for my friend

[steep bobcat]

Even if usjng mods to cheat achievements should be allowed. It’s your game. Who cares.

[wraith vector]

Well I have an issue. I had to use console commands because of a quest bug. Had to prompt a mission to start. @versed glacier

Now I can't get achievements...sadly

[dapper galleon]

I was just hearing from some content creators that I watched that it was crashing and stuff. But that was back when it was in Beta, so that makes sense.

[plain quest]

i feel the same way. accessibility and ui and performance modding isn't cheating.

balance mods are cheating unless you're making it harder for yourself always though

[versed glacier]

I agree, in the end it's single player.

[harsh aspen]

how do you install starfield mods

ive been trying for the past couple days but its not been working, ive followed tutorials

[versed glacier]

Usually, the mod author describes very thourough how to install his mod or at least he should do that. Which mod is it specifically?

[wraith vector]

I want to use the achievement Enabler but I have it on xbox app and I am worried if I throw it in the files it will screw up my play anywhere

[dapper galleon]

Anyways, does anybody know how to help me? I ended up joining every faction in the game. And now I don't know how to leave them like certain ones.

[versed glacier]

Script Extender doesn't work yet for Xbox?

[harsh aspen]

ive tried installing a few and the only ones active now are and maybe the achievement one??

[wraith vector]

I've heard it can be dropped in the files is this not correct? I doubt xbox app will officially allow it as a mod.

[steep bobcat]

Bonus system? What do you mean?

[steep bobcat]

Will it ever?

[raw osprey]

Nope

[versed glacier]

It dont know, just asking.

[grave carbon]

There are daily and weekly missions for completing Achievements that give a type of virtual currency on Xbox.

[steep bobcat]

Huh….ok. Well that’s interesting. I’ll have to look into that.

[harsh aspen]

do you have any tips?

[steep bobcat]

Well damn. That bonus system problematic.

Ugh

[versed glacier]

Have you tried to install those mods manually? This looks like a mod manager, maybe they are still a bit buggy.

[harsh aspen]

maybe

but i dont know where to install them manually lols

[steep bobcat]

Nah. Only reasonable reason it the Xbox bonus system. Turns into real money you can use to buy games and such.

[wraith vector]

I just wanted them to collect achievements for starfield

Apparently reports are saying its working with xbox files as its a save file tweak

My issue would be then when updates come in and ruin my saves or even that, play anywhere becomes corrupted.

[mighty turtle]

@versed glacier you want to install these mods for me

[harsh aspen]

i just want performance mods, it runs terribly

i dont know

how do i know if mods are working

[raw osprey]

Depends on the mod, some are obvious of course like StarUI since you'll see the new inventory screens, etc

[harsh aspen]

when im trying to install StarUI it says something about archiveinvalidation, whats that

[raw osprey]

Did you create youre starfieldcustom.ini

[harsh aspen]

i had to create it and im using steam

[raw osprey]

Its telling you what you need to do

[harsh aspen]

oh lol

yeah i did that exact thing with another mod

not new but not good

right

hopefully it will work now

[wraith vector]

I wonder what percentage of People will run in to quest bugs and need to use console commands to progress

Especially early days

[harsh aspen]

It's not loading in

Game runs but mods dobt work

Game runs worse* lol

Thx anyway

[crystal nebula]

anyone have an Idea On how would I get the addoring fan mid-game. I did remove 1 perk by talking to my parents and then I did player.addperk 227FD9 to add hero worshipped trait but even teleporting myself to the npc with player.moveto 001631C5
he is invisible

[raw osprey]

Ughhh forgot beths discord is rated G for the people who by law are to young to use discord anyways lol

[raw osprey]

was trying to tell you to make sure you had file extensions on and didnt accidentally create a starfieldcustom.ini.txt file if NO mods are working

[warm ice]

prolly been asked a million times, but do we have any timeframe for creation engine?

less than a year, more than year?

[pulsar heart]

less than a year at least

thats my guess tho

there is no timeframe

[amber island]

full screen for ultra wide monitors, better inventory, higher carry weight !!!! and less loading screens mods required 🙂

[west comet]

When using the upscaler mod to add dlss, does anyone know if it matters which dlss dll I grab?

Is the latest one fine, or does it matter based on the gpu I have?

[mossy pivot]

Just putting this request out there. We want interesting extensive outpost and ship parts to work with. Thank you very much for your work gentlemen and ladies.

[wraith vector]

I assume creation engine won't have achievement Enabler haha dam

Like Microsoft would ever endorse that

[tough grail]

Achievement enabler on console you mean?

Because people are enabling achievements with mods just fine on pc (even the gamepass version)

[harsh falcon]

does that AI mod also fix when enemies just stand still and not shoot back?

[sturdy wagon]

My guess is the npc is 'disabled' - find his reference ID (generally if you open the console and click on a thing, person, etc, you'll get a reference ID of some kind like 00xxxxxx) - then you'd type 'prid <referencce ID>' then hit enter, then 'enable' and hit enter

[balmy jackal]

Just curious, UI related mods are usually coded in what language? I would be interested in possibly making a mod to bookmark my favorite destinations and possibly one that I could add 'notes' .

[dapper galleon]

Space Dogmeat is Vasco

[sturdy wagon]

Are you playing through Steam, or through GamePass/console?

[balmy jackal]

Steam

[sturdy wagon]

There should be a 'notes' section in the overlay that's unique for each game

😄

[balmy jackal]

I wish

[sturdy wagon]

No, there is

Open the overlay and check the icons at the bottom, I forgot the icon but one of them should say 'Notes'

[balmy jackal]

I will double check

but still, I would like to make myself a mod to make travel easier to my best destinations 🙂

[delicate quiver]

Can I get mods on Xbox?

[steep bobcat]

No

Not yet

[delicate quiver]

Dang

[grave flame]

what mod makes the ui fps

better

[hollow reef]

I’d settle right now for a brightness slider on the Xbox

[spare sleet]

Is any body else getting the loading shaders popup after using cleanfield mod or any mod that skips the intro videos etc?

Anybody?

[steep bobcat]

Wow. Crazy it doesn’t have one. Maybe just adjust the brightness on your tv settings?

[hollow walrus]

you know how you can change most all the graphic settings, and they take effect immediately (no restart required)... i wonder how difficult it would be to do a mod where you can set two graphic settings based on indoors/outdoors environ .... where it swaps during a loading screen

[ashen raven]

I use it and only got it after I swapped to MO2 from manual.

Haven't launched the game enough to remember if it was only once after that though.

[proven tusk]

walk/run speed mod yet?

[warm ice]

latest is fine,

[hollow walrus]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/437 seems to be one

and https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/1411

[spare sleet]

Oh so u don’t play much

[ashen raven]

Nah just haven't played after swapping

Been focused on trying to gain more space on my drives

[hollow walrus]

eventually a pretty good/solid multiple-stage toggle key walk/walkfaster/jogslow/jog/jogfaster mod will come about, prolly after the toolkits drop

im thinkin one tied to scrollwheel would be nice

[lament gorge]

Any ideas on how long for modding tools to come? It was like half a year for Fallout 4, right?

[spare sleet]

is nobody else using the cleanfield mod?

[sage flame]

Speaking of scroll wheel and things that need to be mods, how is there no next/previous weapon?

[hollow walrus]

there was a hint that its coming, but no real time 'when'

[sage flame]

I will be tonight.

[spare sleet]

how long since

[sage flame]

In a few hours.

But you should try posting your issues on the mod's discussion page, no?

[spare sleet]

I already did

got it

[peak silo]

i have the dlss mod downlaoded, i followed a video but when i hot end on keyboard nothing pops up to change to dlss>?

[dapper raft]

Can someone help me understand why my mods dont work I can stream or something I just dont understand why its not working

[ashen raven]

Are they .txt mods or UI mods

[dapper raft]

.txt I believe

[stone hound]

can someone send vasco base id real fast? i am missing him and need him

[sage flame]

GamePass or Steam?

[dapper raft]

Gamepass

[sage flame]

Try adding the [archive] stuff to the main game .ini

Worked for me.

[ashen raven]

Archive edit isn't gonna make .txt work for the game

[sage flame]

Just sayin. None of my mods worked until I did that.

[ashen raven]

Need to use "bat modname" for that in the ini or console ingame

[sage flame]

In the My Games custom ini, yes.

[stone hound]

i got him to appear after doing a string of jumps

[dapper raft]

Can I just stream it so yall can show me

[sage flame]

But I also had to add the archive bits to the starfield.ini in the main install folder.

[sage flame]

I'd be happy to help in a couple of hours.

[crystal nebula]

well I already know is id so I guess that sort it out. lemme try

[ashen raven]

Create a StarfieldCustom.ini in C/documents/My games/Starfield
Modname is whatever the .txt is named inside the main Starfield folder
And put this into it

[General]
sStartingConsoleCommand=bat "modname"

If you have any other txt mods it should go like this

sStartingConsoleCommand=bat GameplayTweaks;StealthOverhaul

[crystal nebula]

that worked but I cannot interact with him

[dapper raft]

Still doesnt work

[dawn dagger]

Anyone have a functional skybox replacement? I tried the Expansive Starfield mod but it doesn't seem to work

[solid monolith]

Sorry posted in wrong channel. Anyone know what the ship module texture sizes usually are? It's gotta be 4096.

[ashen raven]

Did you try putting it in the starfield.ini in the main folder?

Mod organizer also uses it's own .ini for games, if you use mods through that.

[dapper raft]

When you say main folder you mean where the game is downloaded

[ashen raven]

Yes

Starfield has the My games .inis and the folder where the .exe is also has one

Couldn't hurt to put it in both

[dapper raft]

still didnt work

[ashen raven]

Are you going into a save or just the main menu to test it?

[dapper raft]

I load into the actual game

[ashen raven]

Last thing I can think of is if you don't have the .txt files in the main game folder

Other than that I dunno why it wouldn't work

[crystal nebula]

I find it !!!!!

[compact holly]

would it be possible to mod in a technician that has every ship parts including the ones from the manufacturer technicians?
its quite anoying having to go look where each manufacturer is to check out ship parts

[fluid carbon]

Yes

[dapper raft]

Well simple games getting deleted I guess

[ashen raven]

That's a solution haha

[crystal nebula]

So I figure it out and made a mod for it

[cedar blaze]

Does anyone have any idea when the mod menu will be added?

[crystal nebula]

[leaden fractal]

Coming back to say thank you to the person who suggested I unlink and turn off OneDrive--mods are working perfectly ty ty

[cedar blaze]

How do I do that on Windows 10?

[leaden fractal]

I'm not entierly sure--I did the stupid thing and upgraded to Windows 11 😅

[cedar blaze]

I noticed icons were showing red circles with x’s on them

When I first installed days ago

I guess I fixed it now

The reason OneDrive failed is because now the APP is outdated

They switched it to a web based OneDrive

So everything was messed up

So what I did was went to my OneDrive and deleted over 4 GB’s of documents there

And somehow it worked

[slate elbow]

We seriously need the "shut the f up" mod from Skyrim. I had forgotten how off-putting it is that every npc within 6 ft has a random thing to say to me. If anyone is making an arrow-to-knee remark, I'll depopulate the space, I swear

[plain quest]

we should be able to pop a round into the air to silence everyone in a crowd

[regal nacelle]

I have 11 how u did that?

[leaden fractal]

I first had to go into OneDrive's settings and unlink the PC, then I uninstalled the app

[regal nacelle]

tx

Im gonna try to install some mods again

hopefully now it works

[slim island]

Hi all, are we going to get access to mods over here on Xbox?

[half wren]

You know how there is landing zones all over each cell? How about a mod that lets you call your ship to the nearest one instead of fast traveling back to it.

[soft isle]

Their a mod to scan ships you take over for contraband?

[half wren]

Cops do it for you for free

[regal nacelle]

Question, if I install a mod manually do i need to open it through Vortex still?

[runic wagon]

I sent a ticket to try to get wider-screen support, but if they don't add alternative resolution options, it'd be great to have a mod for resolution scaling or just more support

[narrow timber]

Sure I've got about a 18 or so hours left of downloading Starfield lol (for a total of 2 days, amazing internet I know)

[narrow timber]

Wait OneDrive seriously could have been the plague to all my problems? Omg, maybe the script extender might work now! I wonder if there are any more neat tricks, I know you should unblock DLLs and use 7zip over WinRAR but I didn't think of OneDrive

[lilac geyser]

To anyone in Bethesda:

• As you may know, the xEdit read-only version has been released, allowing us to browse records and poke around. All record types have been idenitified, even tho all field data is not yet parsed.
• There no longer seem to be Sound Descriptors in any form.
• There are, however, "wwise event" records.
• Wwise is a proprietary and closed sound format used by many smaller devs that requires the original manifest to recompile its library, even to swap existing sounds. In other words, no wwise game has ever been moddable for sound in any way.
• That means no custom sounds of any kind. No voices for custom NPCs. No custom sounds for mod weapons. Not even sound enhancers, reverb tweaks.... nothing. Sounds in the wwise system, in every other game i've spent years trying to work with it in along with other sound modders, have never been accessible.
  -- Therefore: has Bethesda done something different with the wwise system so this supposed "most mod friendly game ever" will allow us to access the sound system? Or are we really cut off from any audio effects, voices, sounds, etc. from Starfield?

Please respond.

[regal nacelle]

Guys for the Upscaler can you change the Hotkey? I have a 65% kb and doesnt have it haha

[raw osprey]

If you look at its ini you can see at the bottom where it tells you what code to use to rebind its key

[regal nacelle]

yup just saw it

tx

[raw osprey]

#520 seems to be the end key, he gives you this reference to find the code of the key you want - https://oprypin.github.io/crystal-imgui/ImGui/ImGuiKey.html

[regal nacelle]

just change and save file right?

[raw osprey]

Seems to be that easy, yup

[regal nacelle]

Well now my issue... I got that one to work, the Upscaler installed manually and I try using Vortex for the BetterHud but that one dosnt work

Should I forget about Vortex and do all manual?

[raw osprey]

I just started messing with vortex but im not realy convinced its worth it yet, I did most of mine manually. SkyUI did seem to install fine though on vortex at least

[regal nacelle]

Cant make the Betterhud to work

:c

[dawn dagger]

Same issue here, I've been manually installing mods to the correct directories but none seem to work
Had to create a new StarfieldCustom.ini, things seem to be working now

[regal nacelle]

Well after trying some time... BetterHud, StarUI, FOV... Cant make any of those work

And those were the only ones I was looking into

Upscaler seems to work because i can have the menu to enable it

[sinful sail]

It seems to be at least possible to replace sounds right now though? I'd definitely hope though there'll be a creation-kit way to do it like they do with cyberpunk or else you are indeed forced to use wwise which is quite annoying, but not impossible as you can use it for free. But the biggest unknown right now if every type of sound can be replaced with the same type of encoding. Some seem to accept uncompressed/pcm, some only compressed to a similar file size as the original. The only mapping I can see on the outside is the 800k json file, which is quite the navigation dive to find your particular to-be-replaced sound 😓

or do you mean swapping in the sense of allowing different filenames.

It would be indeed however highly appreciated if there's an explained path for everyone how to best approach this.

[regal nacelle]

Oh my... I got it to work but now I have more questions HAHAHA

First I was doing all here... but in one post showed a different path so...

I followed and just copypaste the Interface folder that was created and the StarfieldCustom.ini and now those 3 work (BetterHud, StarUI, FOV)

My biggest question.... For the Achievment Unlocker and Upscaler i have it on the first one, following the instructions and everything, and at least i see that the Upscaler is showing the menu with the Hotkey, for the Achievment I cant confirm since i havent got to a point where I can get one.... So.... (sorry for my bible) Do I need to do any change on those 2 mods? (Achievment Unlocker and Upscaler)

[golden edge]

Were can you find that xEdit version? i looked on github but i didnt find anything?

i did find a new 4.1.4h experimental version but its not compiled, just source code https://github.com/TES5Edit/TES5Edit/tags

[covert gale]

god, i love these mods

[languid portal]

I'm just looking for mods than can change my characters race or species lmao

[covert gale]

surprised we havent gotten big mods yet
like weapons and ship mods

[languid portal]

Startrek?

[dawn dagger]

Stargate

Big mods won't arrive until after CK2 releases

[solid monolith]

It will probably be around 5-6 months until we have the tools. And given the fidelity of the game being a bit higher than Fallout 4, mods will also take a little longer.

[molten pine]

Does anyone know when mods will be on consoles.

[desert merlin]

same questions over and over

feels like a twitch chat

[quaint yoke]

Lmao

[novel carbon]

Where can I get IDs for clothing items? I can't seem to use the help command because the names have spaces and I don't see them online anywhere. It's frustrating

[quaint yoke]

@novel carbon there’s a mod on nexus that has console command cheats with a whole list

[novel carbon]

But it doesn't seem to have them labeled

I'm trying to get individual IDs

[quaint yoke]

It did when I searched

Link the mod

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/607

This is the mod I mean

[novel carbon]

@quaint yoke It doesn't appear to
