starfield-mods

[worthy plover]

There are SOME apparel IDs here, but a lot still say TBD:

https://game8.co/games/Starfield/archives/423489

[novel carbon]

That's not helpful either; all the ones I want say TBD

Thank you for trying though!

I really want to have a very specific setup on new saves so I might take a break from the game until documentation for that exists

[worthy plover]

Yeah, you may just have to wait for a bit while lists get made/updated with everything. 🙂

[novel carbon]

So is there no way to use the help command on item names with spaces?

[worthy plover]

Let me try something

Nah. Didn't work.

The only thing you can do is if you HAVE the item, drop it, open the console and click on it. That will give you the ID. So if you have them in a save or something you could retrieve the IDs.

[novel carbon]

OH

prude

[worthy plover]

Hahaha

[novel carbon]

let's go! thank you pheonix

[worthy plover]

No problem! 🙂

[maiden agate]

Anyone else wish this was a spacesuit in the game. I think it was one of the concepts. But I haven’t seen anything like it in-game.

I hope people make some of these with mods.

[small pecan]

I'd like to see a mod that allows us to adjust the morality settings of follower NPCs. Or, I'd like to see one of the various sidequest NPCs who we've gotten to know along the way turned into a follower with questionable moral standards. Because as it is, I've yet to find one who doesn't complain every time I'm not on the straight a narrow in every regard. In a game that lets you explore the galaxy, and with all of the potential seedy people, it's quite the missed opportunity.

I might look into that. Haven't gone in-depth into modding in a while, so not even sure where to start. Probably wait on the CK.

And other tools.

[small pecan]

This would be very cool.

[pearl valley]

i remember i saw it a lot as like 3d model or ingame pics of it

[small pecan]

Yeah, it's the Crimson Sniper gear

But the gear in the game doesn't look nearly as Mad Max as that concept art.

[maiden agate]

So it’s in the game?

[small pecan]

The base for it is

[maiden agate]

😩

[small pecan]

It shouldn't be too difficult to mod that set

Or, it could already be in the game like that, just no one has found it yet

[maiden agate]

Hopefully someone does at some point.

[small pecan]

It looks like similar gear, just from a different faction

[winter sleet]

anyone tempted to make a mod adding more dense forests?

[small pecan]

Cause that's yellow instead of red like Crimson

[winter sleet]

taller, denser

[small pecan]

That would be really nice

[winter sleet]

or like a Dagobah or Endor planet mod

[small pecan]

Could use assets from some of the higher quality FO4 or Skyrim mods

With permission of course

[winter sleet]

I tried using the Happy Little trees and Ulvenwald forest mods for the winter spruce trees but the assets didn't load in game. The trees were just missing

no missing mesh warning

just no trees

another thing I really want is full space travel within solar systems and on planets with vehicles. Someone needs to figure out how allow the planetary tiles to load seamlessly

[jaunty mantle]

Hoi, is ao, metal, and rough needed if i want to A.I upscale the textures? Like, would higher res ao, metal and rough need upscale along with color make a difference?

[novel carbon]

I'm struggling to do it this way. Does it work if the clothing item drops as the package in the world?

Beecause I'm getting back a very consistent item ID of "FF0132##" on every item and it doesn't work when trying to use it in the command

[small pecan]

Hmm, I don't remember enough about all that stuff to know why. I used to do all of this, but it was probably almost 10 years ago now.

Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim..

[worthy plover]

Oof. That might mean that the "package" has its own unique ID, that's seprate from what it contains. That's annoying.

Let me give it a go, give me a few min! 🙂

[novel carbon]

Thank you!

[worthy plover]

I.... have no idea what's happening. I can't get any IDs right now. Not even for weapons which was definitely possible before. Like you all I am getting is FF blah blah. But no matter where I click (even not on the item).

Was there an update I missed? Did they lock this out somehow?

I've got nothing. Only thing I can think of is that my Widescreen modification or StarUI are blocking this somehow, but I don't see why they would. But those are the only change I made since it last worked for me. Do you have any modifications installed currently? @novel carbon

[golden edge]

if you see the ingame console itself, then it should work i guess, did you change anything console-wise in your ini settings?

[worthy plover]

if that doesnt work then yeah, maybe one of your mods could be interfering

[shut shell]

I just use gameRunsGoodAndLooksGood = TRUE

works everytime

[mental aurora]

Is there a way to have two companions at once?

[spare sleet]

What does it do?

[crude ravine]

any recommended mods for new playthrough?

[spare sleet]

NeutralLUTs, achievement enabler if ur using steam.

[mental aurora]

StarUI Inventory ^^^

[crude ravine]

cant wait to mod in jar jar binks into the game

[ancient python]

Yeah this is the biggest question I have right now. I'm actually wanting to start out with quest creation thanks to changes like silent player & no more FO4 dialogue wheel, as well as greatly preferring the new setting over post apocalyptic

[cerulean sonnet]

Are there any multiple follower mods yet? And if so can I use it on game pass on PC?

[compact holly]

who did this... https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/1448

[spare sleet]

So did anybody try cleanfield mod yet?

[lean oyster]

I rendered the NV4 textures using Starfields PBR workflow setup and created this, cant wait to have this inside Starfield. Looking forward to making mods for people to enjoy while raiding space.

[mental estuary]

that looks epic, im definately downloading that when i get a chance

[quaint yoke]

They work on xbox app too

[spare sleet]

Sfse doesn’t work on xbox so no achievement enabler won’t work and if ur talking abt the one which is most downloaded one, check out the first pinned post, the author made clear that mod has reached eol and will no longer support.

You will likely loose ur saves and progress once there is an update

[stoic rampart]

is there a mod that lets me keep the mods and parts i take off guns/ships like in fallout?

[junior cargo]

with how simple it is (the source was linked on the comments of that one), i doubt itll break, and if it does, I may actually see about trying to fix things myself cause even a basic thing to not disable achievements that doesnt feature sfse is good for game pass players, i dont have the money for steam version rn so im stuck on game pass

[spare sleet]

I wasn’t pointing out anything specifically to u. Why are u targeting?

[junior cargo]

im not, i was just saying that cause the achievement enabler that doesnt require sfse is simple it likely wont break saves, but if there are issues that break things i would try fixing it

from what i can tell it patches memory where it marks the save as modded, so unless they change that it shouldn't break

and as for the ping, i just used reply and forgot to turn off ping

[spare sleet]

Im saying what the mod author sayin bruh

[junior cargo]

okay sorry, i wasn't trying to be rude or anything so sorry if i came off that way

[spare sleet]

Nah its ok I understand

[golden edge]

I was looking with experimental version of xedit into imagespace records of starfield.esm, turns out it also has some auto-exposure settings.. so besides all the reshades and LUTS thats being posted on nexus, it might be that the esm file also adjust colors.

[spare sleet]

@junior cargo are u using cleanfield?

[junior cargo]

nah, im just using the achievement enabler, starui inventory, and ship builder tweaks/tolerance tweaks

and bethini high preset for graphics

[quaint yoke]

Wait whattt? I am on steam, are you saying all my progress will be lost because of that mod?

[spare sleet]

That’s what the author wrote

[spare sleet]

Whats this?

[junior cargo]

https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/631 this

has some starfield support and has graphics presets that apparently are better than vanilla equivalent of the same preset

[tough grail]

I must have missed reading that part.. that worries me.

Or am I reading it wrong. I understand it like the save will permanently be marked as modded, but still usable without the enabler?

[junior cargo]

reading the post on nexus about it, it doesnt say youll lose your saves, it just says that if an update breaks it, itll make a save be marked as modded and you cant earn achievements from that save, id recommend if the game updates, backing up your saves just in case before launching, but since youre on steam id just recommend using the sfse one

[tough grail]

Honestly, to me, losing achievements is not a big deal. I was planning on buying the game on steam in the future anyway and care little for achievements on xbox live.

But if I can keep getting achis on xbox live, that's nice.

[junior cargo]

and like i said the source for the mod was posted, and unless bethesda decides to change how modded saves are marked/detected it should work id think

[tough grail]

Time will tell.

[junior cargo]

cause it modifies memory, and looks for a specific hex code signature instead of a specific location and modifies that

[tough grail]

The bigger worry for me personally is if some mods add functionality that requires SFSE. SkyUI needed SKSE if I recall correctly.. thankfully the starfield version doesn't.

Becuase it'd suck losing that QoL

[misty folio]

When mod at xbox?

[honest wedge]

Probably not until official modding tools are out, so sometime 2024 is my guess

[misty folio]

Oh my

[tiny sleet]

If creation kit hasn't been released then how are people modding? Or is there another way

[junior cargo]

basically a lot of the mods rn are just asset edits in some way

or, ini edits

then theres sfse available for the steam version which allows for some extra functionality as well

id assume it was so quick to get that cause of skse and such and that the game is running a similar but not quite the same engine since its a newer version of it, not sure how much was changed in it tho

[tiny sleet]

Ahh nice

[spare sleet]

What are performance parameters that u have altered?

[junior cargo]

i didnt, i just used the presets on the main page of bethini after selecting the game, the high preset and the recommended performance tweaks button

then only thing i had to change was which monitor the game was on cause i have 3

[spare sleet]

Is there an ultra preset?

[junior cargo]

yeah, theres an equivalent preset for each of the vanilla ones

[spare sleet]

Do u know what changes?

Like the cubemaps for shadows etc?

[junior cargo]

not sure, i didnt pay attention to the settings there

[dawn dagger]

https://youtu.be/UXvhYtdLtg0

[stoic rampart]

is there a mod that lets me keep the mods and parts i take off guns/ships like in fallout?

[fleet rampart]

Is there a mod that let's you untrack things?

[night veldt]

I'm really impressed that there's already a script extender mod

[ancient geyser]

is there a mod to remove the fishbowl planet system?

[barren current]

HI,

When we've download and installed the DLSS mod, there is no more things to do ? Or should I change my in-game settings pls ?

[cinder rock]

Hi guys, trying to fix performance in this game once and for all, apparently there has been no time spend on optimization.

What we need to do is Improve the game's rendering system to be more efficient.

Is it just me or does LOD not exist in this game? It's stupid.

What would also make sense is enhancing NPC AI routines to be more efficient. This can involve improving pathfinding algorithms, reducing the frequency of AI updates when NPCs are not in the player's vicinity.

Its basically non existent in day one starfield.

Also minimizing unnecessary data loading and unloading, as well as optimizing memory access patterns, can help.

Even though we have loading screens everywhere, the place you were before apparently is still loaded in which results in even worse performance.

Focusing on LOD seems to be the most plausible, as they are basically non existent and show the most drastic performance difference.

Does anyone here have documentation about LODs in the Creation Engine?

[honest wedge]

I see lots of LOD changing when walking around, I play on ultra with averaging 125fps

[fluid carbon]

Lot of info on how to make a LOD with CK is available, yes

[boreal osprey]

Is there any alternatives to Nexus for mods?

[tough grail]

Certainly no comprehensive easy to use alternative. You could probably find a few mods spread out all over, but nexus is the best source.

[fluid carbon]

https://www.afkmods.com/ will have some when the ck2 is out. Perhaps before that

[quasi flint]

Anyone know if there is a mod that can highlight resources without having to have the scanner up most the time?
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.
maybe like a helmet mod of some sort?

[tough grail]

Something like this? https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/1083

I think there are 1-2 more like that on nexus.

[quasi flint]

hmm let me see

[tough grail]

I think I saw a mod doing a bunch more, but can't recall the name of it.

There is one for skill magazines and mining resources though

Better visible resources, better visible magazines, better visible valuables

[quasi flint]

i mean not really what i had in mind but that's not too bad.
Like i was thinking of the actual like highlight feature that comes up with the scanner[but once the scanner is gone items are no longer highlighted] but just instead of having the scanner up it could be like a separate game mod
Or i guess someone can make it into a helmet mod that you can craft later on if they wanted to add some gate to it.

[tough grail]

I just want this one: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/809 to make it so that junk items aren't even highlighted (even if it prevents them from being picked up or giving a tooltip)

Oh, and there is this one https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/1146

which was the one I was thinking of, but I don't use it because it would look silly. I'd rather have a better highlight when using the scanner. Or having a key for highlighting stuff, like in other games, without having to use the scanner.

[quasi flint]

yeah, i just prefer not having to use the scanner all the time, having it up prevents you from opening doors, containers, credit sticks, and damn fumbling to try and get out so you can fight in combat xD
if someone can make a standalone version that would be awesome, scanner free would be the best imho.
Shoot you can even go as far as making a hotkey for a ping system that last like a minute of highlighted items and then goes away and is on a cooldown

[tough grail]

Imagine having a helmet mod.. like a tactical visor.. that allows you to highlight enemies and items via a hotkey.

[quasi flint]

yeah that's what i'm saying that would be great!

[tough grail]

Heck, make it rank 3 or 4 spacesuit engineering.

So you'd have to work for it.

[quasi flint]

true

[tough grail]

Might not be doable atm though

[boreal osprey]

Like Halo ODST night vision?

[tough grail]

Never played Halo ODST but there are a few games that have had similar stuff.

[quasi flint]

yeah might have to wait for the official mod support to come out for that to happen

[tough grail]

I mean, someone made a custom follower already so who knows what modders will come up with even before we get official mod support.

Especially with SFSE (though that won't help those of us that are on gamepass)

[quasi flint]

yeah that's true, hey the sooner the better imo xD

[tough grail]

I didn't want to buy the game since my cpu is well below min req (i7-4770k) but pondering it now that it turns out that my rig can actually run the game pretty well after all at medium, with fsr and dynamic res off.

Though I'd need to find a way to properly transfer the saves first.

[tight nexus]

Anyone able to mod my Xbox save to have all powers level 10 ?

[tough grail]

What does the folder structure look like for the steam version anyway? Figured I might speed up the install by copying over the files but not sure if the folder structure is the same as for the gp version.

[karmic raptor]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/852

[tight nexus]

Could someone explain how this adds all powers?

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/1093

[oak venture]

u can use commands to

[tight nexus]

On the Xbox version ?

[oak venture]

no then i think you have go to pc version and mod save or use commands and put in xbox idk

problem on gamepass version is i cant find my saves i cant help

[fluid carbon]

Need to use the save converter tool to change from pc to xbone

[tight nexus]

So how could I mod my Xbox save ? Do I need the steam version aswell

[tough grail]

https://github.com/Z1ni/XGP-save-extractor https://github.com/HarukaMa/starfield-xgp-import

You can convert them both ways if you want 😛

[tight nexus]

Is anyone able to do it for me ?

I don’t have a pc

[tough grail]

You can't mod the xbox version.

Not until they add official mod support

[tight nexus]

So you can log into my Xbox account and do it through Xbox app ?

That’s what it says on the links you sent

[tough grail]

I mean, theoretically someone could use your microsoft account but I 110% would not recommend giving anyone access to it.

[tight nexus]

Yeah. That’s what the problem is

I don’t mind letting someone but it has to be someone trusted

[tough grail]

But if you were able to access a pc, install the game etc and modify your save (giving yourself cash or whatever).. though you might end up permanently not being able to get achievements on that save.

[tight nexus]

That’s fine.

I’m not fussed about achievements

[tough grail]

or you might end up corrupting your save if you do it via external means

[tight nexus]

Hmmmmm

[tough grail]

dunno how finicky the cloudsaves are.

[tight nexus]

I don’t want to do 240 temples….

I’ve done it before with other days

Games

[tough grail]

As long as you do a backup save there is no harm in trying it.

[tight nexus]

Yeah but I don’t have a pc :/

[tough grail]

No, but I mean if you were to get access to one etc.

[tight nexus]

Yeah but no one is willing to

[tough grail]

I didn't say giving anyone your account details. I meant if you were temporaily able to borrow someones computer for the purpose.

Honestly, I wouldn't give my account details even to someone I trusted 😛

[fluid carbon]

We have a PC gaming space at the mall, it hosts LAN parties. You can rent just 1 gaming PC for $12/hour

[rapid oyster]

Not sure if this is the issue you are asking about but this video part may be your solution. The link is at the right part of the video.
https://youtu.be/ud1Com9balA?t=242

[spare sleet]

Has anybody tried the performance optimisation mod ?

[fleet rampart]

Thanks for the video, but I meant tracking resources.

[tough grail]

It's tied to tracking crafting recipes, research or outpost buildings isn't it? So you simply have to go and.. untrack those.

I tracked a few things so I know what to keep for research etc, but there is no way to untrack everything at once. You have to untrack each recipe etc individually.

Meaning, look in every crafting station, the research station, and outpost category.

[dark swan]

Is there a mod that links your dream house storage to your workbenches?

[timber stream]

So is Vortex the way to go to install mods? I just do not feel like changing files.

Plus I am "sharing" the game with Jr, and we have totally different playstyles.

[timber stream]

This might work

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/1537

It is set up for the Lodge, so you can use that or modify it to use another storage

[dark swan]

How did I not found that one Thanks. I'll see if I can tweak it to make it work with the dream house

[stray heart]

Hey!
I was trying to do a retexturing of some clothes, which have lower_body and upper_body textures. However for some reason, the parts I didnt touch turned out to be brighter than before. Are my settings wrong or is there some form of limitation in terms of contrast/brightnes for beth-games?

[urban goblet]

hi guys, if i want to install stuff like this: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/104?tab=description

Do I install it in my xboxgames/starfield folder or my local/starfield ?

[raw osprey]

"main game directory" always refers to where the games .exe is

[urban goblet]

so i'm assuming xboxgames/starfield/content if starfield.exe is in there?

[raw osprey]

yeah

[urban goblet]

alr ty

[raw osprey]

sure

[timber stream]

Before I open Pandora's box with mods, from what I gather so far is that I need to:

1. Edit .ini file
   2.Install Vortex to install mods
   3.Check to make sure all files are on same drive
   These might be in the wrong order, just as I remember them. So, do I need to edit the .ini with every mod, or just once in the beginning?

[drifting cosmos]

Mod to add carry weight - encumbered status to primary hud please. Its a pain to open inventory all the time and track if you're close to encumbered.

[timber stream]

Yes weight on main hud would be nice, and companion on mouse over even.

[viral goblet]

I think there's already one to add weight to your watch in the corner, one moment

[timber stream]

It clutters things a bit, but I have seen other games that have count down timers on screen for buffs as well

[viral goblet]

can't find it, must've been in a dream or something lmao

but having a lil pop up showing your current encumbrance when you pick up an item could help I imagine

[viral goblet]

also you only have to make the ini edit once, then vortex (or Mod Organizer 2 if you choose) can handle the rest

[jagged vault]

any building mods that tallies up the resourses needed for x amount of items/structures/etc

[viral goblet]

not yet, doesn't look like 😔

I'm just waiting for the CK at this point so we can get an overhaul to melee combat

[jagged vault]

CK?

[viral goblet]

creation kit, the tools BGS releases for modding their games

[jagged vault]

one would think they would have released that prior? ugh same ol BGS

[viral goblet]

could be anywhere from 2-6 months to release if past games are anything to go off of lmao

they haven't packaged it with the game's release since Oblivion

[jagged vault]

exactly, same ol studio

lol

[viral goblet]

I'm taking it as a blessing since I absolutely would've modded the hell out of this game the second I could, so it's nice to get a sense of what it's like without them first

but also I'm craving land vehicles and smoother melee

was gonna play my first character like raiden metal gear rising but not having a sprint-attack killed it for me, hoping someone mods that fast

[jagged vault]

I saw one for HD hair which I desperatly want, but it doesn't work for gamepass (PC)

[haughty helm]

Hi, I m curious. I’ve never modded a launch game but I like to build games with Unity as a hobby. I can send some examples of my work, mostly story driven VR games with voice and 3D models with animation. What is step one on this process? I’m sure I could look it up on Google but if there are any guides (humans) to avoid mistakes this would be greatly appreciated. I’m at lvl 18 on SF now. Thank you

[fluid carbon]

Look for videos on how to use the creation kit for fallout 4, then when SF's CK is out you will be ready

[viral goblet]

yaaa the CK should be easy to learn if you've worked with Unity, there's like 20 years worth of guides out there for it lmao

[shell whale]

Is there any unified storage solution mod around/being worked on/possible? Trying to build any outpost needs a lot of resources, which are too heavy to lug around on your person. A link to the storage locker in your room from anywhere in the world is almost an essential mod.

[winter sleet]

Mod idea for when the CK is released: Partially terraformed Mars. This means oceans and rivers and light vegetation and creatures

[timber stream]

This might work for you, found it for someone else earlier
This might work

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/1537

[shell whale]

That looks like a good start, but is not essential, as the workbenches and storage in the basement are within steps of each other, so you can manually lug things around without running out of breath.

I would like that linked storage functionality available while off world when trading/crafting/building. Currently the only way to get stuff where you need is to pick it up from one of the lodge lockers, put it in the cargo, pick it up again, and carry it to where your need is. This becomes even more tedious, if everything you need to carry over puts you over your carry limit or ship’s cargo capacity, and will need multiple long trips back and forth.

[clear cedar]

is there a mod that prevents the game from pausing when I tab to another program?

[carmine topaz]

Hi, I'm mildly experienced with modding other Bethesda published titles, chiefly New Vegas however for the life of me I cannot get Starfield Mods to work. I have no idea why they won't work and it has been extremely frustrating to say the least. I have tried both Vortex as well as manual instillations, I have tried both my own StarfieldCustom ini-s as well as ones I downloaded from others with more know-how. I have tried installing in every conceivable configuration and I cannot get them to work. They are very simple texture replacers. I came here to see if anyone has had a similar experience or could give me some advice or share a nugget of wisdom. I would be extremely grateful for your help. Thank you.

https://www.reddit.com/r/starfieldmods/comments/16bg863/comment/jzufw4t/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 posted my mod ideas:

[spark bough]

Starfield Mod Suggestion: I would really enjoy an F4 Automatron type mod. Not only would this add a nice crafting element into the game (robots, I mean come on who wouldn't want to craft their own!) it would also make some of the more 'nerdy' builds (think pure scientist for example) more viable since a crafted robot 'bodyguard' would give the needed muscle to survive. No need to initially use any other 'frames' than are already in game, more interested in having options to hang on those frames -weapons, storage, sensors, etc.

[viral goblet]

search for BethINI, it's a program that applies ini tweaks and this is one of them

[clear cedar]

alright ty

[fluid carbon]

Onedrive is preventing some mods from working sometimes, disable it or something. Scroll up and read

[carmine topaz]

Thanks, I just checked out some UI mods to see if those were working and sure enough they did. It seems to just be Texture replacers that are the issue. I will try some other solutions as well if this doesn't work. Thank you so much

[pine crypt]

I only installed 11 mods + BethINI and now suddenly the pretty planet/star main menu backdrop is gone, everything loads fine but it's just the Starfield logo on black.

I disabled my UI mods and reset BethINI to default, and it's not back. Idk where I went wrong. It's not a big deal, just bothers me that I can't figure out what caused it...

EDIT: Update: it's "Native HDR - SFSE", which also caused the below image's effects. Faulty installation on my part, I'm sure. Disabling it fixed the issue.

[carmine topaz]

Actually I just got it working. Ite seems the problem was the data folder in the documents path. After deleting that and adding a few lines to my custom ini so the game wouldn't re configure it they started working. I have no idea why it was doing that but it is what it is. I'm on steam on windows 10. I have the premium version of the game from a Radeon GPU Download key. I wonder if the premium version of the game has some baggage with it that would cause that.

Thank you guys for the help

[pine crypt]

lol first time booting up the save after installing mods:

EDIT: Update: it's "Native HDR - SFSE", which also caused the above message's effects. Faulty installation on my part, I'm sure. Disabling the mod fixed the issue.

[astral wyvern]

I would love to see land vehicles and manual takeoff/landing on xbox series x

[quasi flint]

you know i would love to see more ship manufactures, imagine having like 20 different manufactures you can go and visit and view/buy/sell ships
Having these giant facilities built around the systems that can be explored and seeing parts be made or having just the framework of ships displayed.
Kind of like how star citizen has multiple different companies that design and build ships/parts, I guess same can go with weapons and the like.

it's times like this i wish I was good at creating mods xD

[solar crane]

Is there a mod to remove the Blue Icon from enemies? kind of ruins the fight when you know where they are hiding!

[young barn]

Mods are already getting great now…. Imagine after the CK 😝

[pine crypt]

Is there a mod that tells you an item's value in the in-game pop up? Like it could be placed here (see image).

This would be a fantastic QoL change.

[molten pine]

Does anyone know when console gets mod’s

[tidal canopy]

Probably year one like fo4

[hexed dove]

Not a mod but dayum this is a game changer for me.

[dire tapir]

how do i manually install the dlss mod? vortex apparently puts it in the wrong place.

[serene urchin]

alright who's giving me my panam palmer sarah morgan replacement

[odd plinth]

SFSE-Will we need to update SFSE when Beth issues patches?-Like always Im expecting the usual yes we will.:-)

[sinful oyster]

Id love to see something like dedicated warehouse storages. Lile a warehouse instead of dozens of stacked storage crates, each with a dedicated inventory. Or perhaps just a large warehouse building with premade labelled storage crates inside with massive storages, allowing players to free up much more space at their outposts.

[spare sleet]

Is there an update for sfse?

[odd plinth]

not yet:-) i was just thinking ahead-since we know what happens when Beth updates..we need a new sfse..:-)

[undone needle]

anyone know why these mods are conflicting? Im using mod organizer 2 btw

[dawn dagger]

They affect the same files, you can safely get rid of Undelayed if you have a higher FPS UI, it's the same thing. I recommend doing manual installs since mod managers are not very smart

[hybrid valley]

A good mod for eye temple quest. So annoying going back and forth all the time. Maybe have something buildable in your ship like the armillary or whatever its called. Idk nothing about mods just expressing that it would be a nice edition for the 240 temple grind

[versed glacier]

Now with Suit, Helmet and Packs:
https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/1379

[magic hull]

This is a strange take. And only really works with a small number of mods. It's dead easy to resolve conflicts with most of the mainstream managers as long as you know what you're looking at.

[magic hull]

Assuming it affects the game exe then almost definitely.

[magic hull]

If you look at the mod info dialog, it will tell you which files are conflicting. Whichever mod has the highest load priority (the bottom of the mod list) will be seen by the game.

[dawn dagger]

It's not strange at all, it prevents all potential errors (mostly directory path errors next to load order and file mismatch)

[ashen raven]

Do you think a mod would be possible where a grav drive, shield part, and reactor are all in one? But they have worse stats than if they were separate?

Was thinking about those people who want to create small transports like the Kodiak from mass effect or the one from star trek.

[magic hull]

I'd imagine you can put whatever stats you want on a given part, though it would likely need to be labeled as if it was a certain type since the game tries to put them in categories. But even that might be editable. But there's still a lot of work being done to decipher the new records and we don't even have an official creation kit.

[ashen raven]

Yea I figured it might be possible but there'd be quite a few problems, like categories as you mentioned but also the "requires reactor, shields, etc"

Not to mention how they'd fit it in the existing UI, each part uses up almost the entire square for information so whenever we get the StarUI for shipbuilding I imagine it would be a heavy requirement.

Everything should be solveable but as it is now you'd require an skse mod to remove the requirements

[dawn dagger]

Anyone working on or have a first person camera mod?

[night ether]

Some mod ideas:

• proper main menu music even after finishing the main story
• fast travel to player homes
• furnished player homes
• smaller or more distinguishable landing area icons

[worthy plover]

Anyone know of a mod that lets me interact with doors while in scanner mode? It's all I want. I don't understand why I can interact with pretty much everything else, just not doors and locked things... like... why?

[minor locust]

I'd love to make a mod to import fallout weapons into Starfield

[solar crane]

Any mods to make food worthwhile? It seems I have to eat the equivalent of 20 meals to gain 20% health, makes food kinda redundant when med packs do so much

[lost grove]

Spray n' Pray go brr... Terramorphs won't know what hit 'em.

AFAIK damage numbers were higher in Fallout 4... means the weapons would be, without balancing, OP. I don't know about Starfield having limb damage, but the way SnP worked, it was absolutely devastating, even to Deathclaws.

[minor locust]

Has anyone written up a list of the changes and new features in the 'Creation Engine 2' ?

[fringe wren]

Is it possible to mod in a new bridge?
2 story tall 1 block wide. I'm trying to recreate the type 6 ship from elite dangerous.

[onyx sage]

Best combat + stealth AI mod?

[pine crypt]

I'm not aware of any being out yet.

[onyx sage]

There are 2.
Improved Combat AI + Stealth Overhaul
Experimental Combat AI Overhaul

[leaden spindle]

Is anyone working on a mod for VR? So I can say goodbye to my social life permanently

[quasi flint]

You know it would be really nice to see if we can get some star citizen level of detail in ships, I enjoy the overall aesthetics those ship offer and the use to them.
I would also like to see if we can eventually get some decent size modules, like a 3x2x1, 3x2x2, 2x2x2, etc [LxWxH].
Im sure there would need to be some limit changes and what not. On top of having newly designed hull parts to accommodate those modules.

[knotty hemlock]

Is there any mod so that you wear clothing on your ship rather than space suit?

[pine crypt]

lol dang you answered your own question then. 😂 Apologies, I'll check those out. The enemy AI is.... well, I can see why we'd be looking for mods.

[onyx sage]

The AI put me off Starfield for a weak. Now that MO2 and the first AI mods are here, I'm giving it a shot

[cinder garden]

Anyone know if there is a mod yet that leaves the cargo on a ship even after you change home ship? It's so immersion breaking for me to not have my ships separate from each other.

[pine crypt]

I'm downloading "Experimental Combat and Stealth AI Overhauls" now based on your message. Have you had any issues with it?

I'll be uninstalling "less spongy enemies" as a result as it's covered in this mod.

[onyx sage]

I haven't tried either. I'm starting with the other set until the "Experimental" part is not experimental anymore

[pine crypt]

Fair point, I am used to playing Bethesda games 5 years after they're out...

[sonic terrace]

I have a request for a qol mod. After working on your ship. How about all the odds and ends DONT go directly into inventory and they stay where they are.

[cinder garden]

Sounds like something that should be patched, along with an option when selecting home ship if you want the cargo to transfer or not

[tough grail]

I mean I get if you don't wanna lose things you placed yourself.. but constantly getting forks and all sorts of trash get put into cargo doesn't feel good.

[cinder garden]

I'm sure we will see a mod for it at some point, but it does seem like something that would get patched. I'm more worried about getting a mod or patch about ALL cargo transferring when selecting home ship. Hard to see a purpose in building multiple ships if they can't have different roles, cuz right now they all have to haul cargo.

[tough grail]

Yeah, it's kind of dumb. Shame we can't assign crew to a secondary ship and send them on missions, for materials or whatnot.

[crystal yacht]

does anyone using xbox app have issues with installing the UI mod? followed the instructions and it just doesnt work

[onyx sage]

The other combo worked for stealth. But combat AI still sucks. I'll try Experimental now

[dapper galleon]

Mod support 👀

[onyx sage]

FYI, you can download ModOrganizer 2.5 beta for Starfield from Mod Organizer 2's official Discord

[young barn]

I refuse

Soooo. Ships. How can we share our creations with others?

[amber snow]

How to install Nexus mods on starfield

I ment like how to get it work on starfield or any games from nexus, is just a question

[pine crypt]

People will have different opinions - I've used Vortex without issue so far, but each mod, in the description, will have installation instructions to follow.

As referenced 2 messages up, ModOrganizer 2.5 beta is out if you prefer to use that utility over Vortex or manually managing them.

The 🤔 reaction was that you said you're a Mod Author but seemed to not know how to install mods, but that's none of my business.

[urban goblet]

hello as someone who is not a mod author! when you first join and select roles, mod author indicted you like the use of mods AND ALSO creating them. i simply picked it because i like the use of mods

unless it changed from when i joined (june) that's how it was setup when i first joined

[pine crypt]

Ah, I can see where this may be misread. I have always used mods, but have never created them, so the "and" versus "or" meant I didn't qualify.

Thanks!

[hybrid dust]

anyone know how to spawn enemies with console command?

[river yew]

Does xEdit work with Starfield yet or is there some other alternative out there?

[amber snow]

Same here, but sometimes I did make some mods but not for the public but just experiment, but Nexus mod is knew to me and I did use Vortex for skyrim but some it required to merge with skyrim in files

But I think I'll just use the vortex for starfield for now

So I know it may sound wired on why i chose Mod author but I probably shouldn't off clicked on it I might've got it wrong

why cant i place any hab? (have to post here, admins dont seem to get we need a general channel)

Okay where's the tutorial on how to mod starfield at

[untold cosmos]

I have the same question

I hate the mantis armor looks ... i want to do something simple like use the mod for another armer & helm and replace the mantis armor meshes and textures... i understand a new nifskope is not out so mesh editing is out of the question

there are lots of skyrim/fallout mod tutorials i suggest you watch a fallout tutorial it will be simaliar

Also anyone know of a starfield modding discord to join ... i was in a few when i was modding eldon ring

[formal nacelle]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/470

[untold cosmos]

yes i would like to get rid off the pants, sleeves and replace the helm with a different helm. the suit is ok if I reread how to edit dds files.... i just want to recolor the diffuse texture with new colors and decals....

[late berry]

I mean someone has already made a stormtrooper mod that replaces UC sec

Now also someone has to do is make vascos model kaiser

[untold cosmos]

these two mods work togather very nicely:

i was gonna post nexus links but discord will not let me

[formal nacelle]

@untold cosmos

• Instead of installing the mods to your Data folder in the Starfield directory where the Starfield.exe is (this is where it goes by default), try extracting and installing them to the Data folder that’s under Documents/My Games/Starfield/ which is the same directory that has the StarfieldCustom.ini file you made.

so basically move mods from steamapps/common/Starfield/Data to Documents/MyGames/Starfield/Data.

StarfieldCustom.ini text:
[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=

[untold cosmos]

yes i been installing my mods in the "My games/starfield/data" folder. The only thing i put game install folder was dll replacement for LUTE which removes the greenish filters in the game

[formal nacelle]

https://pastebin.com/gnRz3t8J

Must haves

[untold cosmos]

I was curious about MAKING mods not INSTALLING others mods ... Long ago i MADE MINOR MODDED things in skyrim & fallout and more recently Eldon Ring

[formal nacelle]

cool ... but why are you TALKING IN CAPS ?

[untold cosmos]

Just to make a distinction between making mods and installing mods

Anyway if i am patient all this mod development stuff will come out.

so sorry if my all caps seemed rude

[formal nacelle]

yes hopefully soon they develop starfield together

nah lol was just curious

[untold cosmos]

I think the key is an update to nifskope. My understand is thats where you bring your edited texture and meshes togather for a mod.... starfield changed the way it worked in fallout/fallout76 i read and new version needs to be released and may be a new creation kit if we want more than armor/weapon replacers.

This breaks the immersion for 99% of starfield players but i like it

[umbral crane]

why even wear the rest of the spacesuit 😂

Is there a good Mandalorian mod out that someone is aware of?

[west oak]

Hi everyone! I'm a software engineer but relatively new to Bethesda modding. I'm loving Starfield so far but there's a couple mods I'd like to make for the community to enjoy that fix some nitpicks I had. Here's the first two ideas I have to start with:

1 - Make the base fire rates of semi-auto guns faster. The current settings are painfully slow, especially when shooting pistols.
2 - Change most of the reflex sight reticles to be dots instead of big circle/dot or crosshair/dot reticles. It's way too busy when you're trying to shoot someone in the face past 40 meters.

Are these things doable before the official modding tools come out? I've already started using the Bethesda Archive Extractor and extracted all the textures so I can change the reticles, but I'm less sure about how to perform the changes to weapon fire rates. Any help/insight here would be appreciated.

[dapper galleon]

Here i am hoping for a fivem like mod for starfield, imagine proper roleplay with other people in the starfield universe 🤌

[west oak]

Here is the color map for the Russian assault rifle's reflex sight. It just seems to be the sight itself, not the reticle. Does anybody know where I can find the reticle textures?

Edit: You guys won't believe this - It's in a folder called "Reticles"... Who would have thought that? 🤣

Edit 2: That was only some of the reticles. Need to keep digging. If someone knows where they are, please let me know lol.

[shy delta]

any mods that fix tracking being entirely worthless? I just want the ability to track ONE damned thing, not 3-5 things

anyone else having problems downloading mods

in the dlss mod, what are the equivalents of quality and balanced modes in percentages?

[modern flare]

Hey, could someone explain to me how I spawn legendary weapons with specific mods?

From what I understand I gotta spawn a regular weapon first:
player.placeatme 0002EB3C

But I dont get how to make that a legendary after that

[somber estuary]

anyone has a mod that enables to use ressources in chests in an outpost?

so that you dont have to go to every chest. take all ressources. build. put them back in the chest

[young barn]

Alright, one thing I’ve noticed that I miss that starfield lacks, is an in-game radio.

Obviously, radios wouldn’t make the most sense in space but, you’d think there would be a slew of radio stations on planets in the settled systems :/

Maybe a modder would like to address this? 😅

[hexed eagle]

i just found the perfect mod "Regulation of Starfield Vendor Purchase Prices" makes vendors buy for half so smuggling is profitable

a better mod called "Increased Contraband Prices - x2 x5 x10"

i love this community

im gonna start a new game to make a smuggling empire

[young barn]

Mwahaha

[ruby forum]

anyone have a link to mod organizers discord?

nmind found it

[runic ibex]

Could just use Vortex btw

Which is Nexus Mod's official mod manager

[hexed eagle]

i broke my game. aurora now sells for 109. Time to build a crippling debt empire!

[young barn]

Now, to find a mod that bumps the amount of money vendors have, and you’ll be rollin

[cinder garden]

Anyone know if there is a mod yet that leaves the cargo on a ship even after you change home ship? It's so immersion breaking for me to not have my ships separate from each other.

either the mod doesnt work or || prices change in NG+ ||

[weak surge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/1143

[young barn]

There ya go lol

[hexed eagle]

|| it was NG+ that changes prices||

[rich lynx]

I made a reddit post about that exact thing a bit before starfield came out, and got an incredible amount of people actually not caring or opening bashing on the ingame radio. Weird, but that's where the community has stood on radio for starfield to stay true to the lore of the game.

[minor zinc]

I beg for someone to create a mod where u can give vasco the ability to wear hats i would love to see him rocking a lil cap or something

Or if theres a cowboy hat in the game that would be amazing

can any weapon get any modifier? possibe to get your own perfect rolls?

this game is so good but has about 0 replayability, maybe im just burnt out

This was needed

[urban goblet]

hello everyone, i'm new to bethesda games and heard that they at some point will bring mods to xbox. what type of mods were on fallout and skyrim that are on xbox? do they allow third party through the game? do i install through the game? is it only bethesda official mods or do they have like a community page like on steam

[viral goblet]

After some time you'll be able to search for and install mods from bethesda.net through an in-game menu. it's usually the same kind of things you can find on PC, though with some limits on file size and lack of script extender

since it's xbox and not playstation they can use original assets though so you'll have a nice library to try out once they actually follow through with it!

[patent lagoon]

[spare sleet]

[junior cargo]

if there hasnt been already, would a mod be possible to set where ladders/doors get placed in ships, and possibly dedicated stairwell pieces too, preferably without sfse? if not now, would the creation kit allow it possibly? mainly cause I use gamepass so i cant use sfse at all and don't got the money for steam version atm

and id hope it would be possible to make new locations, surface or orbiting, with the ck

[untold wadi]

As soon ck hits you probably will see even a death star or smth 😂

[junior cargo]

this probably will be the first Bethesda game i try to make mods for myself

[untold wadi]

Bethesda games are one of the or even the easiest to mod as far i know

[junior cargo]

never played the fallout games and skyrim i always played on ps3 till i got it on ps4 years ago

[untold wadi]

Fallout 4 is one of my favs all time i would suggest you to test it (as its cheap asf rn)

[junior cargo]

eh, dont got money to spare atm but its on game pass as well id assume?

but yeah, ive modded games before so itll probably be easy, i just would need to learn the specific tools

[topaz python]

Hey! I just donwloaded some mods and I found that mod organizer 2 is the easiest to understand and use.

[junior cargo]

and i got some ideas for stuff, if its possible i wanna try making my own ship parts company mod with its own staryard and everything

[topaz python]

That would be so cool, I'd download that.

[neat igloo]

same, I want to focus on structure modules to expand ship silhouettes, add other structural options like wings and 2/1 adapters hull pieces for cockpits.

Maybe delve into Landing gears, there is no a large selection.

[topaz python]

Definitely. There need to be a wider selection of parts. More curvy parts, not everything needs to be a box. I wanna make ships out of star citizen, or at least similar.

[neat igloo]

I wouldnt mind 2 mods off the top of my head, 1: instead of landing on the planet, ships would transistion into atmo and the player could choose a landing spot completing the animation. (probably not doable though). and 2: ground vehicles with a "bay to store it in".

[flint mirage]

[lean oyster]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/1801

[tribal yew]

Is there anyway any game which has that on the short run? 😄

I mean, if you played through GTA V to 100% there would be no point to replay it directly after that again - maybe you do to make other pointless choise to end up on the same choise of one of the three possible endings lol otherwise you may pimp another car there to have another car you won't drive.

On GTA Online that's basically the same same... You team up with some people, make heists, grind money, buy a vehicle, buy equipment, make the next heist, buy equipment, buy a vehicle, make the next heist - it's all the same again and again and again 😄

Call of Duty? If the main story is done, why should you replay it? Need for Speed? If the main story is done, why should you replay it? Hell, EA SPORTS FC 24 why should one even buy that if he has already another FIFA title? It's completely the same with new stickers/players.

There are only few games which I consider completely replayable: Ones with extended mod support which can bring completely new aspects (basically all BGS games on which you find stuff like "Sim Settlements") or games in which you actually create your own vision of something (Cities Skylines/Sim City/Sims) or games featuring a highly dynamic system (Flight Simulators which feature dynamic weather conditions and the whole globe).

The golden hours of Starfield will start next year with the Creation Kit 🙂

[dapper galleon]

Yeah idk how to do that

[crystal thicket]

This has probably been asked but, is there an ETA on console mods? I'm hoping a favorite modder makes one of their companion mods and I would love to be able to put storage bins on my ship lol

[timber stream]

iirc they said they needed the toolbox from Behesda to make those, and that is like 6mos out. If you look above they talked about how to do it using gamepass and xbox if that is an option.

[tribal yew]

There is no ETA for PC mods, so there is for sure no for Xbox. Creation Kit might come next year which enables proper mods (beyond just texture replacements and configuration hacks), after that it will likely take another year for Xbox to get something

[tough grail]

No eta for official mod support for pc at least. Doesn't stop modders 😉

[steep bobcat]

Official ETA is “next year”

[tribal yew]

It doesn't stop them because Creation Kits already exist, however risk currently is high that more complex mods will break stuff on the long run

[tough grail]

That's why I just use texture or ui mods.

[tribal yew]

Honestly for now that's good enough 🙂 There is still much to do in vanilla Starfield

[west flare]

You know what we should have someday? A mod similar to Fallout 4's Transfer Settlements mod, it's for outposts and ships. We must be patient though since Creation Kit isn't out for Starfield yet. What would you think? I know the game's too new, just thought I'd pointed it out.

I know right now ship building mods are the goal for many. I would really like to see a mod that enhances the interconnectivity between ships in your fleet. As of now all we can do is hit home ship and everything gets transferred. Be really cool to move cargo and crew between ships and have them stay there regardless what ship you have selected for home ship. Of course crew that are story related would always follow.

[west flare]

Oh, there's recently a new article about Todd mentioning Starfield official modding support coming in 2024. I'm not sure we're allowed to post the link here, so I'll just let you look it up.

Look up the article "Todd Howard mentions that the official Starfield mod tools are coming in 2024, with the DLC's release still TBA"

[worthy plover]

You can post the link. No rule against links. 🙂

[indigo trellis]

Is it possible to create new weapons and add it to SF or u need CK to do this?

[spare sleet]

Did anybody use the updated baka achievement enabler mod?

Or update?

[tribal yew]

In theory you could - but one would have to find the differences in the individual formats (like the use vortex colors on models, the general use of texture layers) and how things are scripted/animated

The latter is usually done using HEX editors

Also currently there are no official tools available for Starfield to compile stuff back together, so even if you know how a model is set up the issue is to compile it into a working package 🥲

[indigo trellis]

Oh k

[tribal yew]

Yeah, so it will take some time likely for something to come up

[prime depot]

Are there any mods yet to help with optimization? My GPU usage is at 99% consistantly with temps no higher than 60°C and my CPU usage wont go over 3%.

For a game they said is CPU intensive, this seems way off

[spare sleet]

Which gpu

[prime depot]

3070ti

[spare sleet]

And cpu?

[prime depot]

i7 12900

[spare sleet]

Shouldn’t be the case

Ur rig is pretty good i hv the 3070 ti myself and no issues.

And the cpu intensity only comes into action when ur cpu bound but ur not.

[lilac geyser]

No official BGS response, no.

[prime depot]

I cant get consistant 60fps

[spare sleet]

Oh that’s bcoz ur gpu bound, might wanna try some optimizations to the ini file

[prime depot]

have any suggestions?

Im new to the modding and editing of files

[spare sleet]

3070 ti aint that powerful to pull a 60fps consistently on a game like starfield

[spare sleet]

Go to nexusmods

Sort by all time popular

U will find the opimisation mod there I generally recommend the second one coz the first has lowered the crowd bit too much

And then ctrl c ctrl v

[prime depot]

which one just to be sure

[spare sleet]

It has some boost written in its title

[lilac geyser]

....tho to be fair, we're seeing some differences in the standard WWISE layout of flles and whatnot - the manifest seems to be human-readable and editable - so there's some hope we'll be able to work with it without too onerous a workflow

[raw osprey]

personally I think this one is better than all the other optimization mods I tried, including the ones with the top downloads. Im running ultra now at 2k quite smooth - https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/438?tab=description

[prime depot]

ok thank you

gonna give it a try

[spare sleet]

Is this some other?

[polar finch]

halp i installed the fsr2 bridge + Nvidia dlss mod and reshade but the game crashes once i try to load a save file 😦

[fiery wagon]

I have 3070ti and it shutters alot

[spare sleet]

im trying this one out

[lean oyster]

#]

It still uses WPN foley

I'm thinking

Whatever is in that AFX exporter they use

It bakes the sound inside the animation itself so the animation reads the sounds not the esp

The sounds just have to be present in the sound banks

That's just my guess anyway

I don't have access to Xedit

We have .AF and .AFX animation files now

[fiery wagon]

Did anyone have any shutters while gaming?

[drifting cosmos]

Is there a way to auto-remove / hide your spacesuit and pack after boarding a ship (or a mod)? Haven't found anything yet.

Another nice QoL mod would be to skip the sit - stand animations for the captains chair on spaceships.

[tough grail]

Isn't there one like that?

[raw osprey]

Its the best performance Ive gotten yet out of the various ultra.inis I've tried

[tough grail]

Or well, it speeds it up by 3x https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/1387?tab=description

I think I saw one other though

[drifting cosmos]

Oh cool, thanks!

[spare sleet]

So u tried out the other two from top downloads?

[raw osprey]

Yup

[spare sleet]

Yeah me too

Works good

Gonna track for now

[weary orbit]

ok so im not so big into how dlss works, but can anyone tell me if this mod works with 3060 or should I look for a diff one? https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/761

Im just lookin for better fps thats all

[young barn]

Should work with any card, but you’ll need a 4000 series card to take advantage of DLSS 3.0’s frame generation.

Which is where the real fps boost comes from, so honestly I’d pass on it.

[young barn]

Might still provide a small boost in fps but it won’t really be noticeable. At least it wasn’t for me running dlss 2.5

So I just went back to FSR2 lol

[spare sleet]

Dlss 2.5 is greater in terms of quality compared to 3.5 mainly because even though the model is improved and trained on much higher numbers the games have to implement it to show the real result. So ur best off with 2.5.1 if ur not having a 40xx series card.

[cinder rock]

That's honestly hilarious

Amd is slowly taking over ngl

Nvidia became like apple

Amd just drops their newest and flashiest fsr for ancient gpus

[fierce nacelle]

Will there be mods for XBOX X users?

[weary orbit]

Thanks for the help

[young barn]

Yessir

[young barn]

I run a GTX1650, talk about ancient 😅

[weary orbit]

One more quick question, when I manually download mods I have two folders, one labeled constellation and one starfield. Both are in xbox games folder and I have no idea which one will utilize the mod

any ideas?

[young barn]

Gosh I remember when the GTX1080 was top of the line 😭

@weary orbit I have no idea when it comes to Xbox I’m a steam guy

[cinder rock]

The 1080 is still an insane gpu

Especially the ti

[weary orbit]

@young barn yea me too, I bought starfield on Xbox originally, but fps killed me. Had to switch to pc

Think I got it figured out. There is a vortex mods folder in the starfield folder. I'm 89% certain that's where that goes.

[cinder garden]

I know right now ship building mods are the goal for many. I would really like to see a mod that enhances the interconnectivity between ships in your fleet. As of now all we can do is hit home ship and everything gets transferred. Be really cool to move cargo and crew between ships and have them stay there regardless what ship you have selected for home ship. Of course crew that are story related would always follow.

[prime depot]

Ok for everyone here. I keep getting confused from NexusMods on which to install via Vortex, and which to install manually.

If things have to be installed manually, why have the option to download via Vortex? Will it mess up being in both places?

I need a mods started course lol

[cinder garden]

I'm not 100% on this, but my understanding is mods are not fully supported in starfield yet. So some work through vortex and some need to be done manually. Most mod authors do a good job in the description of explaining the best way to install their mod.

[waxen star]

Ok... dumb question time. What the hell are the "achievements" that will be disabled by using mods or console commands and what impact on the game do they impose?

[fluid carbon]

They do not change gameplay, it just marks your progress

[waxen star]

What progress?

And what does that mean?

[raw osprey]

Not really progress, its just stuff some people get into...like a little badge "you killed 20 people while under 10 health"..

some get into that kinda stuff

[fluid carbon]

The progress you do in the game quests, Just bragging rights to friends.

[steep bobcat]

Achievements. Like most games seem to have these days. Are you looking for a compete list or just the general concept?

[raw osprey]

I personally turn all that kinda stuff off myself, hate getting popups when im trying to play a game

[waxen star]

That's it?!? The Steam badges?? Ah... ok!! Thank you guys for clearing that up!! I have looked everywhere without any clear definition of what the "achievements" do. Lol... I don't give a rat's a** about those badges!! Thanks again!!

[young barn]

(For steam) Move the Data folder from your documents to your game directory. in your custom.INI change the directory of your Photo mode photos and remove the menu stuff (So the game doesn’t re-create the folder you just moved. You will need to add these lines yourselves. There’s a guide somewhere on nexus). Taadaa, Vortex will now install mods correctly. Worked for me.

[prisma marsh]

Hello ! I'm looking for a mod that force the landing animation each time we revisit a known place. I don't like the "fast travel" when we land at a site. Thanks 🙂

[half wren]

Can someone make a mod to remove the generic POI from the game? Every time I land the same ***exact ***research tower is there. Every planet & moon I have landed on in 80+ hrs has had the same exact POI on them including botanists on planets and moons with no botany who need me to recue their friend from wildlife on a planet/moon with no wildlife.

[sour urchin]

The best thing would be a MOD that can make Starfield use only the dedicated VRAM of the GPU, and only use the shared VRAM if the dedicated VRAM of the GPU is full, since in many GPU models it only uses half, and it fills your RAM and it crashes, and it doesn't matter if you have 8 or 64GB of RAM....

[half wren]

Are you using an NVIDIA GPU?

[sour urchin]

Upon hearing users' complaints, I did some tests and they are right, on a 1050Ti and 1060 6GB, it works perfectly, but on RX580 8GB and ARC770 16GB, it only uses 4.1 GB of dedicated VRAM and the rest of the RAM. I made this post to see if the BGS people see it: https://discord.com/channels/784542837596225567/1149685374646505583

And it happens in other models, most believe it is due to Drivers, but even if you have the latest update the same thing always happens

[hexed eagle]

thanks

[hexed eagle]

i cant wait till the "in your custom ini" stops and we can get good mods

[small pecan]

The biggest boost I got was enabling Resizable Bar on my system.

I'm running a 3900x / 3080 Ti system and went from getting around 50-60FPS at 2560x1080 in New Atlantis with FRS Bridge DLSS set to 70% resolution. Now I'm running Ultra preset with upscaling disabled completely and I'm getting 65-75FPS steadily with the game feeling a lot more responsive.

[young barn]

Ikr lol

[merry solstice]

Need a little knowledge regarding LUTs. Is NaturaLUTs going to be compatible with any reshade? As in are the ones that are noted compatible just more tuned to NaturaLUTs' color palette?

Because I know some reshades advertise LUT alteration/removal so I want to make sure it doesn't clash.

[west oak]

Still trying to make a mod that fixes the busy sight reticles that take up so much space.

If anybody can find the folder where the actual reflex sight reticle textures are stored, that would be a huge help!
There is a folder in /data/textures/weapons/reticles/ that has some of them, but not the EOTech style crosshair dot reticles that the AK, 2311, Equinox, and other weapons use.

[pine ravine]

Anyone know how to fix this ? 😄 (my guns miles away)

[serene urchin]

im more worried about the healthbar

[hexed eagle]

I got 13 organs worth 900k, either my mods need to be toned down or i ended my smuggling career in one deal

i tell myself || this universe thinks contraband is worth x10 more than normal||

[young barn]

900k? You’re not done till you top 9 zeros mwahaha

[hexed eagle]

Well then

Im like walter white and adoring fan is my jesse

Its a healthbar mod 25% and lower its red 50% orange and 75% lower its like a yellow

did you turn your fov up? bethesda first person arms tend to do that at high fov

[pine ravine]

[cinder garden]

I know right now ship building mods are the goal for many. I would really like to see a mod that enhances the interconnectivity between ships in your fleet.

Be really cool to move cargo and crew between ships and have them stay there regardless what ship you have selected for home ship. Of course crew that are story related would always follow.

I'd love to be able to assign crew to a ship I'm not using and command a small fleet

[pine ravine]

If only starfield had no man sky's ship/base building 😯 I want a freighter 🤣

[young barn]

Maybe one day, young Padawan

[serene urchin]

Need a starfield/Starbase/NMS experience

[young barn]

Mod idea for when the time comes: allow your companions to pilot the ships you own, while also allowing the ship/ships to follow you around in space like any companion. Create and manage your own fleet, and partake in Massive space battle’s.

Please and thank you to whoever decides to take that on lol

[quaint yoke]

I need help, my starfield mods aren’t loading

I use vortex and even tried a manual install of a mod and still had no luck

[lost crown]

All I could ever ask for as a console player is the addition of a radio. Space trucking/smuggling is just not quite as good as when I play Back to Saturn X music over fighting aliens in Boston. I look forward to being here in the future

[night musk]

would love to see a leaning mod like the one for fallout 4, and blueprint saves for ships would be great too

[lapis ridge]

I’d like to see more variety in modules, maybe even a planet teleportation hab.

[spare sleet]

I am not sure what the issue is but whenever I come out of the ui say when theres a case and u press and hold r, to go into seeing the contents or any other, when I return to the game, the textures like reload themselves for a second? Why is this happening?

[clear cedar]

I wonder why there isn't a mod to fly the ship in a planetyet, it should be relatively easy

[desert merlin]

its not as simple as that

[terse nova]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/1331

[fiery wagon]

Same, are you using gamepass by any chance?

[quaint yoke]

No, I moved to steam after the game release d

[lime kindle]

is there a place, or forum to go to request mods? i dont know modding communities like that, recently got more ivolved in actually downloading mods for games

but i know bethesda has a great modding community behind it

[topaz python]

You're in it

[ember topaz]

This game could really use a item-color-scheme for items which could be soled but might want to keep... like Digipicks and stuff
I'm hording so much stuff that, when I sell, I don't look at the items I sell but spam the mouse button

[lime kindle]

ah ok lol

i was just curios if it was possible to make the "full auto" perk actually a fast full auto for shotguns and such, ex. cods AA-12 shotty, full outo on here is like pew...pew...pew...pew i want faster than that but less than a warthogs BRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrttt, best i could explain it at 330 am half asleep lol

[marsh fjord]

When will console get mod support

[junior cargo]

2024 at the earliest with the creation kit

[quick locust]

Any idea on why my mods doesn't work on starfield?

[toxic forge]

Need mods for eating and drinking animations as well as healing animations. Button pressing animations would be nice too

[fiery wagon]

which dlss mod is better

[minor crag]

So here is a question for modders.

How would someone know if a mod is safe to download and not laced with malicious code, given how open Bethesda is to allowing mods, do you think they should provide education for those unaware about security

[lean oyster]

Generally mods are scanned for viruses or malicious code before they are approved

At least on the Nexus

Idk how Bethesda do it

[hardy tundra]

I'm longing for the day when Mod support finally comes to Xbox...

[lean oyster]

But generally people should already know what's safe to download and what isn't?

I mean if you're on a dodgy website that's promising to make your Fallout next gen UE super update then avoid it? 😂😂😂😂

[tight nexus]

Can anyone on pc tell me the max amount of credits yoy can have and still able to spend them without saying you don’t have enough please

[pine ravine]

Cheers and a solution for game pass users ? 😦

[hushed pebble]

welp, it's time to mod the game for 2 hours

[cinder garden]

Any mod to change the soundtrack to the one from Interstellar?

[fiery wagon]

How do I install mods in the gamepass version?

I tried vortex but it doesn't work

[turbid thistle]

Hey guys, are there any mods to fix the texture resolution issue like this? The game here is on Ultra, and yet textures look like this.

I have attempted a few mods already:

1. Starfield Upscaler: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/111?tab=description
2. Starfield Performance Optimizations: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/104
3. Upscaling Fix: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/1743
4. Performance Texture Pack AIO: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/645

None of these worked to fix the issue. Disabling upscaling, FSR entirely did not fix the issue either. Textures continue to be stubbornly low rez no matter what I do.

Some more examples of the issue in action

[fluid carbon]

What's you PC info?

[turbid thistle]

I think that covers everything. Usually dxdiag is enough to tell all the specs I believe.

[lean oyster]

Do you have a virus protection blocking folder changes?

[turbid thistle]

I don't, no. I just have Windows Defender and that's it.

[lean oyster]

Check if windows defender is blocking it

[turbid thistle]

How do I check if Windows Defender is doing that for me?

[lean oyster]

On the bottom right of the screen there should be a list icon

Notifications

If windows defender is blocking changes then it will tell you it blocked it

Other than that idk why your game refuses to use high Res textures

Your PC specs are aight

Check your task manager if SF is cooking your CPU

[turbid thistle]

Ah yeah, no it doesn't. I had set it to not interfere with application related stuff.

[turbid thistle]

I'll have a look, though tbh Baldur's Gate 3 was having my fans run faster than Starfield (I also have Starfield on Low) so I don't think so.

[lean oyster]

I guess

Todd says get a better PC 😂😂😂😂

[mental sinew]

How come when I leave an outpost planet I come back to it being destroyed but didn’t know anything about it until I returned and also why is there no repair all function

I have to repair 325 power one by one ☝️

[turbid thistle]

All I want is a reasonable texture resolution. Don't even mind if the game runs at 30 FPS for that.

But Todd says no

[misty abyss]

For anyone looking for DLSS that isn't being paywalled:
https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/761

[lean oyster]

People are paywalling DLSS?

[misty abyss]

Yeah. Not going into it here though.

[zinc matrix]

Rather than changing the UI radically, I wonder if its possible to add rarity color to food & crafting materials to make them different from space junks... Sort of an idea for modders...

[smoky seal]

Is there not a mod on this already? an inventory mod?

[tough grail]

StarUI does a great job with it.

as well as adding subcategories you can filter by.

[dapper galleon]

Bethesda should just release the creation kit and let modders do their thing and also make the kit better. Or release creation kit one since it’s almost the same thing so that we can have somewhat decent mods.

[fluid carbon]

They will no point in stopping around shouting "now now now I want it now"

[delicate topaz]

Is there a mod that makes it so that the cargo habs adds to your overall cargo capacity?

[lapis ridge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/1659?tab=files

Why doesn’t the dlss mod work on gamepass? I’ve tried reinstalling the game redownloading all files nothing works

[olive egret]

does anyone know if there's a mod that adds ship hab modules with display cases for armor? i know the armory has some helmet and pack displays, but i want one for the spacesuit and normal outfits too

[lament terrace]

I’ve seen some people say they can get various texture related mods such as the different luts or certain companion skins working in gamepass version. I can’t get any of these to work, anyone have any luck?

I wanted to post a suggest for Bethesda so they would see it but i don't know where to do it. I dought they would anyway so i will post it here so maybe a capible mod author will do it. I don't even know it it is possible. I think anything is possible if you wanna do it but one of my suggestions is inflatable habitats for camping anywhere. Like the Road Runners Acme contraptions he made to trick the Coyote in that cartoon. Just toss you handy habitat cube on the ground and WALA... a fully furnished inflated camping habitat.

[prime depot]

Anyone suggest any Nexus Mod collections?

[lapis ridge]

I use odyssey

[warped tulip]

i tend to mix match my own mod list, as collections are fine, but sometimes they add stuff i dont want, and its a hassle to deactivate those mods, so what i do i do look at the most endorsed collections, and what is in them and then just pick what i like , the only difference being looking at every individual mod page on how to best install them and read the instructions, where collections (well the good ones) are easy for people newer to modding and can just one click get a bunch of mods running.

So here are some future mods im hoping for: the guys of Sim Settlements from Fallout 4, making such a system for starfield with planetary settlements.

and the guys from Legend of the dragonborn from skyrim, making a space museum 😄

a well one can dream 😄

[keen cloud]

I would like to see a mod that expands mission boards so that there are more missions available and possibly a slight ui design to add tabs for sorting mission types

[flat seal]

I made my own Flashlight mod because all the "flashlight mods" out there right now just do a boring faded circle

Image 1 is the Default in game, image 2 is mine in game, image 3 is mine as a PNG. The attached .dds is the image file you place into Documents\my games\Starfield\data\textures\effects\Gobos

[fickle tusk]

omg its terrible for me at max aswell

[mossy valve]

Can someone point me to a reference for editing the base stats of an item? I want to double the PHYS/ENGY/EM of the UC Urbanwar Spacesuit.

[turbid thistle]

It turned out I put this mod's textures (https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/645) in the wrong folder. Once I installed them correctly, the game was basically forced to render reasonably downscaled textures and my game looks great and runs well.

Only issue is that every time I alt tab, the game does drop in fps significantly. But I can just avoid that by not alt tabbing

[hexed eagle]

When will we have an alternate start mod? I know i cant sit through that tutorial when i want a new game.

[prime depot]

nothing that I do is getting the DLSS mod to work

can anyone give me a hand?

[vagrant meteor]

can anyone explain why ESP mods require you to add them to the StarfieldCustom.ini? i remember having to do something similar when i was modding skyrim on my switch

[lean oyster]

Adding more to my Starfield CAT rig

Adding helpers

[topaz python]

I need some help with my mods. The starfield UI won't work when I launch, someone said that I need to prioritize the mod but I have no Idea how. I'm on mod organizer 2

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1078907000857038858/1151298250498916412/image.png

[vagrant meteor]

i installed starUI with vortex and it just works

[topaz python]

I don't like vortex. Never wants to work for me.

[vagrant meteor]

i just use it for everything now

it's really easy to use compared to NMM

it just automatically sorts the mods but if you do need a mod to have a higher priority, you can just set priority relationships between mods

[topaz python]

Yeah vortex and M02 are new to me. I'm so used to frosty.

[vagrant meteor]

i was using NMM community edition to mod fallout new vegas but people in the fallout network discord were MAD at me over it

[topaz python]

It's your pc others shouldn't judge what you use to mod your game.

[vagrant meteor]

and fallout 3 is so old and barely supported so you pretty much either have to use FOMM (super old mod manager pre-dating NMM) or just manually mod it

[topaz python]

Manual modding is pain.

I think I figured it out, had to right click, hover on "send to" and click priority, and set it to 0

[vagrant meteor]

i'm still wondering why you have to add .esp mods to the .ini for starfield

[topaz python]

haha

[vagrant meteor]

is this going to limit us to 10 plugin mods?

[topaz python]

It better not

If it does someone will make a mod to bypass the plugin 🤣

[vagrant meteor]

it do

[topaz python]

Whyyyyyyyyy!

[vagrant meteor]

right now the modding community seems to be divided between the gamepass version of the game and the steam version of the game, because apparently they require you to do different things

i don't think SFSE works for the gamepass version

.asi plugins are apparently similar to SFSE plugins but they will work on both the steam version and the gamepass version

i don't know which one will become more popular right now

i'm not sure if adding the plugins to the .ini is something that is only necessary for the gamepass edition or what

this whole divide between the steam and gamepass versions will probably stunt the growth of the modding community since gamepass games are significantly less moddable than steam games, since the gamepass ones are windows apps and the files are locked where even you, the system administrator, cannot access them for some wild reason.

it's MY computer!!!!!!!!!!!

[topaz python]

why make it harder?

Like you paid for the game you should be able to mod it. Especially since they claimed it'll have 100% fully supported mods.

[vagrant meteor]

it's microsoft's doing, not bethesda

[topaz python]

Basically the same thing at this point

Don't get me wrong they can make good game but the decisions they make are so flipping weird

[vagrant meteor]

microsoft adding microstransactions and a premium store to minecraft moment

[topaz python]

Exactly why java is better

Why would anyone spend 20$ on a minecraft map when you can buy it for 5$ or even get it for free off planet minceraft or curseforge

[vagrant meteor]

you can't even get access to the windowsapps folder because all the options to allow access are greyed out

[topaz python]

That's so obnoxious

[vagrant meteor]

it's locking me out of portions of the computer than i own
now i understand why some people prefer linux

[fluid carbon]

If the new CK2 let's MA's set a $ for a mod, will people be mad?

[topaz python]

Yeah windows be stupid

There needs to be another OS thats not linux or windows that needs to come out

So quick mods question

For starfield do I need a plugins folder and a mods folder?

Currently all I have is the plugins but Im trying to install the craftable ammo mod

[prime depot]

you mean like MacOS lol

[topaz python]

Hell no lmao

[golden edge]

Open powershell as administrator and type the following (If its not C drive, change letter) :

takeown /f "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" /r

[lapis ridge]

Mod idea: a “place anywhere” mod for decorating

[normal totem]

add a channel to list hmmm .....

ii clicked on it and it disapaired

[hexed eagle]

When can we get a mod for a ||starborn|| trait or background

[normal totem]

i want a mod that can make me look like a dragon in game

[vagrant meteor]

you get that after ||new game plus, as indicated by the starborn dialog options||

[hexed eagle]

But i want it in a real game

[bronze rose]

MacOS is lovely.

Anyone know what could cause this? I land on Procyon III for the Into the Unknown mission and the entire place is bugged. Even doors are floating in the air.

Guess I'll load an older save and see if it's like that before. Seems like this started after updating my drivers to the latest one and installing GeForce Experience with the Resizable Bar profile.

Okay, it's fine in an older save, but I landed there, and then didn't do the mission, but left to go help Sarah with her personal Cassiopeia questline, and after doing that and then returning to Procyon III, it's bugged like this.

Yep, somehow doing that completely bugged it out

[junior cargo]

report that, cause that def is an issue

god i love modders

[small pecan]

Big time..

[lime kindle]

16 guns

[small pecan]

Made a bug report. I'm completely retracing my steps from my older save before completing Cassiopeia and so far Procyon III isn't bugged. I think some work I did in the ship builder is somehow what bugged it out, because that's the only thing I haven't done yet since replaying all of these parts. And last time in this portion, the planet was already bugged out. Glad I make a lot of manual saves..

Only lost about 2 hours worth of play time

The entire ship situation in this game seems to bug planets out sometimes. Certain series of events with ships seem to screw up world geometry.

[junior cargo]

ive had some space encounters with invisible enemies, i think there's just weird bugs where things wont load in properly

[small pecan]

I often think these games should have come out later, and taken more time in the oven. But when you really think about it, games like Cyberpunk 2077 would never get to the point that it will be when 2.0 and Phantom Liberty releases without having been released to the public first, having been criticized, and having had thousands of people bug testing it for CDPR for the last couple of years. The same can be said for Bethesda games. Starfield is going to be a masterpiece in a couple of years, with patches, bugfixes and mods. I honestly can't wait to see what's possible. The bigger and more complex these games get, the more we have to accept that there's no possible way for all of this bug testing to be carried out in house. It takes thousands of people running the game across dozens of possible hardware and software configurations to truly test a game like this and get anywhere with it.

I do know I want a mod to add this thing to the game: https://youtu.be/DfvcUQj83PQ?si=nrAa-SCkgDTlsHXF

Metal Gear Solid 5 Phantom Pain was amazing, and the D-Walker robot would be a perfect companion/vehicle in Starfield. It doesn't move too fast so it wouldn't put too much of a load on the game.

I might try to look into seeing how difficult that functionality would be. We already had power suits in Fallout 4, so something like this isn't exactly beyond the engine.

[fringe radish]

Could a modder show or explain how to make new skins for cloths ty. im trying to add a logo for my kids birthday to a t-shirt in game

[golden edge]

I think in the future they will simply use AI to autocorrect bugs in code and such, or use AI to check for corrupt geometry, bad 3d stitching, snapping, clipping. basically AI as some kind of cleanup tool or finalizing process (post-process)

[junior cargo]

AI will most likely not be perfect at fixing issues however, and could possibly cause worse issues at times as well

[pallid halo]

I heard there was a way to get around the usual gamepass mod lockouts?

[junior cargo]

Yeah, mods that can be used on the game pass version usually have instructions on how to install it for that on nexus, mods that require SFSE won't work but more basic asset replacement and such mods can work

[pallid halo]

So no Star UI. Sadness.

Welp. Might have to be that guy and get it on both services.

[junior cargo]

StarUI doesnt require SFSE unless theres a version out thats not just inventory that does

[pallid halo]

Oh interesting. I guess I just assumed because the SkyUI needed SKSE to run

[junior cargo]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/773

I'm using it on game pass and it works fine

[golden edge]

Yeah i was talking more in 5 or 10 years from now, when things are more advanced regarding AI and computing. Well if AI keeps developing at an exponential rate that is.

[patent cobalt]

I don’t get why the devs don’t take some of the useful mods that have been created and just create a patch file to build it into the game. It would make the user experience so much better especially improving the performance mods, ui etc

[golden edge]

Well that can be a bit tricky, regarding EULA, law stuff.. who owns the right on those "community mods" and idk what else.. i think thats exactly the reason why games often have "unofficial community patches" and such.

[mental aurora]

Is there a mod that lets you wear the Fishworker's Mask with the spacesuit?

[junior cargo]

because, people would expect to be paid for their work, and for stuff like ui changes, it would take away from the work the devs did on the ui even if the modded ui is better.

[cinder rock]

Guys where is next patch?

It literally says encrypted download

Where is it?

Bethesda stop the hiding already i figured yall out

[clear moat]

do you guys know if there is any way to push a ship you previously built into the following ng+ without losing it (and if possible to some weapons as well)

[keen cloud]

Okay can someone make one of these little guys into a pet?

[spare sleet]

Damn f

[cinder rock]

It's hilarious @spare sleet

This Patch is gonna be 20+ GB big

Which is good if they fix performance once and for all, that is

[spare sleet]

Nah really?

[cinder rock]

Ye

[spare sleet]

How

[cinder rock]

What how

[spare sleet]

How do u even know what

[cinder rock]

Insider since 10+ years

[spare sleet]

Lol

No u ain’t

[honest wedge]

I don't mind if its big patch, as long as it fixes bunch of stuff

[spare sleet]

Even if I have to download the whole game again im ok

But as u said, it should FIX things

[fiery wagon]

Hey guys, any idea how can I get mods for working for the gamepass version

[junior cargo]

if the mod works on game pass then the instructions should be on the mod's page usually

[fiery wagon]

Any idea if star UI works?

[junior cargo]

link is here, yes it does

I'm using it myself on the game pass version

[spare sleet]

Does the gamepass version also create files in documents/mygames/starfield?

[junior cargo]

i think it does but it doesnt cause issues, some texture mods use that directory tho from what i can tell

[spare sleet]

Or u had to copy paste in root data folder

[spare sleet]

Steam for me is using that

[junior cargo]

the mods should have instructions on the page if its game pass compatible, read the instructions and it should tell you what to do

i dont know the process for every mod

[spare sleet]

So the answer to ur question is look for mods which are to be pasted in the root or documents folder, who knows it might do the trick? Try on. Also I guess only the sfse doesn’t work for gamepass but u already have an achievement enabler which works on gp version

[junior cargo]

a lot do use the root directory for the game though

[spare sleet]

I haven’t come across any

[junior cargo]

and there's no guarantee the asi achievement enabler will continue to work

[junior cargo]

for game pass version specifically

[spare sleet]

See in the next update if there are changes to how the save is named or they touch base memory and change it I remember somebody here saying they change hex code so it will break in that instance. And since the support is also over for that specific mod, it won’t work. Given bgs made changes too.

Otherwise it will continue to work no problem

I was also confused in the beginning after reading this but then people clarified

[junior cargo]

if they do change the hex code for it then yeah, but since the source has been released for the mod it would be easy for someone else to update ig

[spare sleet]

Yeah that’s what

And it is all just a matter of time. I am sure somebody is going to do it for gp version too coz many are playing via that

[junior cargo]

which, i plan to look into it if it breaks since i cant afford steam version and still want achievements

[keen cloud]

Is anyone looking into making an improved cargo link mod that allows you to specify type and quantity of resources transported. IE Each cargo ship can carry X number of resources A,B,C per trip with requestl inks to storage containers instead of dumb output links basically more fine control of logistics

[spare sleet]

Whr do u live?

[golden edge]

Yes not all mods work since script extender doesnt work with Gamepass i believe. but anyway

Gamepass version is "C:\XboxGames\Starfield\Content"
Savegamedir etc "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\BethesdaSoftworks.ProjectGold_3275kfvn8vcwc\SystemAppData\wgs<user-id>"

[cinder rock]

Guys when will the performance get fixed

[clear moat]

probably never there are some mods out already that help aleviate some of the issues

[junior cargo]

US, why?

[fiery wagon]

Nothing works sadly

[steep bobcat]

https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/12/23870123/nvidia-starfield-performance-resizable-bar-new-gpu-drivers

[cinder rock]

Im not Nvidia

[cinder rock]

Is there any way i can refund my 70 bucks wasted

I have 16 hours playtime

Eventually i will sue bethesda, because it's is not acceptable behavior and they are AWARE of that.

[clear moat]

probably not lol, you should check the return policy of whatever storefront you got the game from

[golden edge]

try lowering shadow quality, made big difference for me even on top end system... also there are mods out there for low-end systems, tweaks

[cinder rock]

Im on a deck

[clear moat]

you probably cant due to play time

bot being annoying blocking my message

cool

[cinder rock]

I did it once on elden ring, 3,6 hours

[clear moat]

idk just try and hope for the best

[golden edge]

one moment, i did see a mod earlier, trying to find.. was also for steamdeck

[clear moat]

but yeah for anything regarding returns just check the return policy a storefront provides outside of that you're probably out of luck

[golden edge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/538

[cinder rock]

This is crap

Im a tech savvy dude and the changes make no sense

[golden edge]

what do you consider good changes then, regarding mods?

[sinful sail]

then you should realise that starfield actually relies quite a lot on texture streaming functionality and relies a lot on i/o. More than you might be accustomed to from other games, so thats why that mod changes things on that level. As an owner of a steam deck too, i figure you also realise the limits it imposes on playing very new games.

[cinder rock]

There are no limits

Software can be optimized till it runs on a fridge

Bethesda did nothing to fix it

"The possible fix comes from the codebase of the Vulkan port to Proton, Valve’s translation layer for Linux to play Windows games. Within the change log, the developer Hans-Kristian Arntzen, details issues with Starfield talking to hardware.

“With NV_device_generated_commands_compute we can efficiently implement Starfield’s use of ExecuteIndirect which hammers multi-dispatch COMPUTE + root parameter changes."

The game sends gibberish information to the hardware, just like a virus for example

I assume this company has been sued multiple times for this behavior

What you say, therefore, makes zero sense and you say this because you like the game

Which is indefinitely wrong

Also this game isn't even open world

[strange pasture]

it is what i consider semi open world

the gameplay is open world, but the world really isnt

[timber stream]

What are all of the locations you need to place the custom ini file for mods to work? I have it in one location and that allowed me to start the game using the SFSE, which I thought would enable the mods to work. But I recall seeing something somewhere about using the ini in multiple locations.

[lean oyster]

Calma

[golden edge]

game pass or steam?

[timber stream]

Steam

[golden edge]

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Starfield

[timber stream]

Yep, I did that one

[lean oyster]

What's even the difference between game pass and steam versions?

[golden edge]

you also need to adjust something in ini file to make it work

[cinder rock]

Could mods fix this game

[golden edge]

This needs to be in custom ini

[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=

[timber stream]

Yep, tyoed it in even instead of caopy pasting

[golden edge]

with SFSE however, some mods need to be in the gamefolder.. depends on what the description or install instructions says

[lean oyster]

What needs fixing?

It runs fine for me

[cinder rock]

Everything?

Game feels braindead

[timber stream]

Thanks Trackah, I will look through documentation when I get home and see if there is something special.

[golden edge]

np, good luck

[timber stream]

I feel like I am in the minority when I say I have had no issues to speak of and am enjoying the game, even without the mods working, just wanted to clean up some of the visuals and inventory.

[lean oyster]

I have no issues with the game

Even when there's FPS drops I don't notice it

With FO4 if it drops below 60 FPS you can definitely notice the frame drops

[golden edge]

i play in 4k, with fsr2, only lower shadow quality because that seems to be the biggest performance hit, even on a 4080

[lean oyster]

It gets leggy and buggy

But Starfield runs perfectly

Even if it drops to low FPS you don't even notice that it's dropped

[golden edge]

but besides that, the game runs stable.. i only had a few quests that were bugged

[timber stream]

No bugged missions yet, fell through ground once, but got out without reloading.

[lean oyster]

Starfield doesn't use anymore CPU than Fallout 4 does

[cinder rock]

You guys are blinded not gonna lie.

Bethesda completely sold you guys.

Completely delusional

[timber stream]

I had enough to run without changing anything, but used the free game option to upgrade GPU from 6600 to 6800

[golden edge]

if the game works for me besides a few minor issues, how is that delusional?

[cinder rock]

The game works for me too

[lean oyster]

You're a Beth modder but you're trashing on Beth?

[cinder rock]

Yes

[lean oyster]

Which game do you mod?

[cinder rock]

70 bucks down the drain

It's a 20 CAD game at best

[lean oyster]

You have 16 hours in Starfield

Which Beth game do you mod?

[timber stream]

It claims I have 67hrs, wow I didn't even realize

[fluid carbon]

https://youtu.be/F4PItDalmdg?feature=shared

[golden edge]

i mean, if you cant return the game.. be patient, wait for a proper mod or official patch.. but being negative won't make things go any faster

[sinful sail]

im not excusing the poor optimisation the game has or the myriad of issues with the several design choices they made leading to poor performance. I do think you need to tamper you expectation running this game well on a steam deck that uses a sub 3000 class ryzen laptop gpu/cpu.

Did i expect bethesda to chose more into the direction of performance instead of 'quality'? Definitely and im not too happy about it. But you know you could have refunded it way earlier as the peformance problems hit you quite early in the game. Steam is actually quite willing to refund beyond the deadline of 2h if you present your case and they also tend to give a 1 freebie to bend the rules but id suggest to word it well.

[spare sleet]

Todd clearly mentioned the game is optimised its ur system that needs to be upgraded lol😂 and I know he means it to be.

[golden edge]

anyway, these type of discussions fit more into the starfield-support category

[sinful sail]

100%

download my elevator sound mod!

[clear moat]

well since this seems to have ended, I'll try asking again, is there any mod that creates some sort of save state for inventory when going into ng+ (for ships, weapons etc)

[lean oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/lifting-weights-power-testosterone-gif-17956593

[spare sleet]

Exactly

[lean oyster]

Todd the chad

I love that man

[sinful sail]

i think you might need to wait a little longer, people are still decyphering the file formats.

[clear moat]

gotcha thanks

[spare sleet]

It just works, only time it didn’t was fo76 which I don’t even consider a bgs title

[golden edge]

True, from what i've seen in the xEdit channel, there are still alot of unknowns to discover

[lean oyster]

It's best to forget 76 ever existed

[spare sleet]

Correct

[sinful sail]

the likely max 10/.esp plugins till ck release is also not super promising 💀

[spare sleet]

But I do face this weird textures loading thing when exiting any storage crate or weapon crate from explore mode that u press and hold r and then back to game screen it loads the textures for a fraction of second

[golden edge]

fo76 was ok regarding missions etc, but i think i would have more fun as a singleplayer game.. all technical issues aside

[sinful sail]

if you want a laugh and background podcast style thing i recommend patriciantv analysing interviews about starfield and the connection of the main studio and f76

[golden edge]

or the shadow flickering when looking into a certain direction outside

[spare sleet]

Yeah man thank you

[lean oyster]

Bethesda games should only always be SP

[spare sleet]

As all rpgs are ever meant to be

[lean oyster]

Starfield modding looks exciting

[golden edge]

but i do think this new engine which also has some ID-tech in it, once properly optimized in the future, it could be great.. we will see how things play out i guess

[lean oyster]

Modding fallout got boring because I knew everything about the game and making mods

But Starfield is a new challenge

I shall enjoy

[sinful sail]

im expecting a lot of ng+ style mods

[lean oyster]

I make gun mods

[sinful sail]

make everyone walk around with nice textured guns in a ng+

[golden edge]

i only made mods for fo3, neutral colors and increased fog and clip distance with xedit

imagespace-related, not LUTS like starfield

[clear moat]

what i would like to see is a golden tier drill gun, I've gone on for about 106 hours without seeing any

highest is blue

bad rng prob

[velvet shard]

I would love to see either a mod or it just a dlc of the uss constitution from fallout 4 being a wreckage on earth that you can repair and use as a more pirate feeling to the crimson fleet

This in space would be awesome

[lean oyster]

Mmm I like it but I'm not sure how it'd fit in

A wooden ship surviving a massive extinction event seems difficult to explain

Unless they add it in as just an Easter egg perhaps

[velvet shard]

It would be mostly a fun reference also if it’s just the frame wreck that you could fix with a large amount of material

[lean oyster]

I'm sure modders will at some point

[velvet shard]

Yeah that’s what I hoping for

[lean oyster]

Yeah

[velvet shard]

But you can’t not agree that it wouldn’t be dope to basically be space jack sparrow in a way

[lean oyster]

Sure it would
