starfield-mods

[safe sorrel]

Haha nice!

[dapper galleon]

But I think I'll need a cape .of for it. And I'll bring my OP Darkstar weapon obviously

[floral ridge]

Is there still a need to deal with moving the textures folders to main game data folder, or does MO2 handle that on its own?

[true valley]

Hi everyone. For xbox series x, are there any mods that when I become starborn allows me to keep my- "gear(spacesuits, helmets, boastpack, clothing, etc)", "ships" and "everything else that is in my inventory(either at the lodge, on my ship/ships, in my personal inventory, and mods inventory)"?

[night ocean]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/7309
this is the only one i know of, but ive no idea if its on console.

[hoary lava]

https://tenor.com/view/kto-lbow-hi-hello-hi-there-gif-25347432

[true valley]

Thanks for answering my question. It is on console but it would not work for me because I have modded items(weapons, spacesuit, helmets, boastpacks, clothing, weapon skins, and other stuff).

[night ocean]

ah. i think we meant to make a patch template for people and then just...never did....

[dry coral]

I started a new outpost on my fav island today after going through the unity yet again. I was very careful how to place my habs this time around to preserve the local fauna's little forest. I had four majestic beasts roming around in there until I left the surface and now they're gone. Booooooo BGS.

As a nice side bar, the decorated habs I built have lost their custom colors too.

[safe mantle]

Anyone know why starfield compendium isn’t working along with astrolab?

Whats up people

[sharp lynx]

hewo

[dapper galleon]

Ok guys hear me out... A deathstroke theme armored Spacesuit

[twin atlas]

You know what would be fun? If we added a quest series based in Cthulhu lore. like a fully fleshed out story that took several volumes/episodes to complete. I once wrote a story line for some TTRPGs back in high school lol. 😂

[hoary lava]

I want to do that so bad, just don't know how to implement.

[twin atlas]

In HP fashion, we would just thrust players straight in. The story/campaign i wrote was set in 1940 and called The last voyage of the Carol Anne, but for Starfield it would be tweaked to be a luxury cruise vessel that gets pulled into the horror genre.

Wings?

[hoary lava]

Yep! For something I have coming up, if I can ever make it all work lol.

[twin atlas]

Sweet

[dapper galleon]

@safe sorrel games working again and I'm cooking

[thick plaza]

my gun mod goes perfect with zone79s armor pack and the uc overhaull skin pack

[dapper galleon]

@twin atlas I had to re build my trophy room but it is now ready to add those helmets again

[dry coral]

I am going to try and build a "Habitat" style of outpost but I don't know if I'll be able to blend all of the habs close enough together. We need snappable interconnecting stairs too 😄

[elfin vigil]

Hi All! Is there a place where I can make a mod request? Tks

[fluid carbon]

This is the place to ask

[torpid badger]

after people thoughts thanks

I'm thinking about how to allow players to obtain my standalone items.

Currently you craft them.

now they spawn as usual behaviour, with random qualities

It seems crafting is completely random generated?

But now I've made them more specialised with set stat's and perks at each tier.

So i would need to look at another way?

The other way would be in a crate, but I would need work out how to have available to the player to have access to all 4 tiers of the items at the appropriate level.

saying that, do people like to craft, have an item at a location awaiting them, in a container, or maybe a mini quest?

[limber current]

I feel like having it at a location awaiting is probably the best choice as people like to pick up and go. But on the other hand people like the "" immersion aspect of it "" and the crafting/mini quest thing

[night ocean]

ive always been a fan of unique items on unique enemies, or placed in unique locations. i never cared for small quests for weapons. but thats entirely my personal preference.

[narrow isle]

Does starfield have elevators that have multiple stops?

[night ocean]

yes

[narrow isle]

Is there an example in the game somewhere?

[night ocean]

neon tower has like 7 or 8 stops

[narrow isle]

oh I think these are with loading screens, is there an open elevator that has multiple floors?

[night ocean]

nothing comes to mind.

[torpid badger]

thanks guys for the feedback

just need to work out how to spawn the weapons for the right character level

mini quest i was thinking was just a notification to say hey, your levels weapon is here, go get it

[night ocean]

again, personal preference, but i genuinely hate that. one of my favorite things about starfield, though, is that leveled lists can have attached conditions now. so you could add them to vendors or boss chests while checking the player level, skill levels, quest completion statuses, or whatever else you can think of.

so, lets say for example you made a cryo weapon, and want it to be found in boss chests in an abandoned cryo facility after the player is level 20 and has...i dont know, wellness rank 3. you could check against getisinlocation, getplayerlevel, getperkrank, etc. its all quite lovely.

[narrow isle]

ATTENTION TO ALL MODDERS
I just placed a splineendpointmarker, and then a second one. And I noticed the move gizmo would not move the marker. Then I pressed p to connect the cables, and then the editor froze, so I closed it via windows.

Then I loaded creation kit and noticed the ESP was missing from the list. Then I opened explored and noticed the esp file was 0 kb file size.

Then I copied the last autosave and used that from 20 minutes earlier. (I also had a backup from one day before)

Not sure what caused it to to do this.

I was able to recover using the autosave. However I wonder what would cause the esp file to end up zero filesize

Also splineendpointmarkers appear to be bugged. I drag one into the scene it wont move and it cant be deleted

[torpid badger]

ok sweet, that sounds good.

is there the option though to allow the player to go back there at a higher level and re get the gun at a higher tier?

[limber current]

Dude that looks wonky in the best way possible 🤣 you should keep going to see how big and cubeish you can make it 😆

[night ocean]

well theres an "infinite" number of cryo facilities, and i imagine, like most dungeons in bgs games, they'd reset 30 days after clearing so long as you dont set foot in that location during those 30 days.

but you could do the same with vendors and their leveled lists

quick example that i happen to have handy at the moment is this ll to increase credits at the trade authority based on your rank in the commerce skill

[torpid badger]

ok good ideas there thanks.

i was thinking of a box in your room at constellation, im guessing that wont work?

[night ocean]

would need a script since thats a no respawn.

could probably get away with defaultadditemonload, havent looked at that in a bit though so unsure whats changed for it in starfield. or...if it exists in starfield.

...but i also hate that because i dont like weapons magically appearing in my room. again, just me. could set it to be given to you as an affinity reward instead or something maybe.

[torpid badger]

i feel the same, and thats not a bad idea

[night ocean]

im not really a weapon mod creator, so maybe my opinions dont mean much here. but i use a lot of weapon mods. and one thing that really bothers me is that 90% of new weapon mods just give you freebies at the start of the game and scream "plz use my cool gun, its the best." and you know what, maybe it is, but giving me a powerful gun at game start is unbalanced, its not fun, and frankly, i get bored of that weapon quickly. its a much more exciting feeling to find it later on, in a natural way, and get to use this sweet new toy at my own pace. i hate when things are essentially forced on me.

[torpid badger]

i get that unbalanced and overpowered feel, ive been trying to avoid that

[night ocean]

like in fallout 4, i feel like half the new gun mods just pop one into sanctuary or concord. and i despise that.

get creative with where you place it. so it makes sense, in whatever way you like. make it interesting. dont just place it on a table where anyone will find it five minutes after pressing new game, thats such a boring way to do it. my two cents.

[torpid badger]

noted, and valid points thank you 🙂

[night ocean]

always happy to opine at length.

[dry coral]

New Paradiso Cabin update is live:

@limber current I did a few other tests and I could build up to the sky if I wanted to. Too bad we don't have elevators yet 😄

[limber current]

I know John of matilijas mod just made and released a elevator hab that is 5-6 story's and it's an actual elevator no loading screens no pressing a button and you get Teleported to the top. You actually can ride in it and see the shadows as you are going up and down

If it can be done with a ship hab I'm confident it can be done with a outpost hab eventually

[dry coral]

I saw that on YouTube yesterday, he does great work!

[limber current]

Indeed he does 💯💯💯

[dry coral]

The watchtower would be a good start but nothing can be attached at the top as yet. BetaMax76 also has a tower hab too, maybe that could be viable. https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/c7aeccd6-80c3-46bc-87c6-204a34cbb8c3/Tower_Hab

[fiery ledge]

Anyone know how to enable a larger font size with PraxisUI?

I’m on Xbox

[wicked patrol]

? Is it different than base game?

[fiery ledge]

Can you increase font size in the base game?

omg thank you yes I found it!!!!!!

[past tide]

I feel that, I've taken to using manikins for mine, I have a hall of honor for my fallen companions

I enjoy statues as well for trophy hunts when I gather with my clan

[dapper galleon]

Oh. Ice are those statues on Xbox, I have the action figure ones but they are smaller then those

[past tide]

Yea I'm on xbox

[dapper galleon]

What mod is that in?

[past tide]

I think its called Midias ship hab or something like that

I ignore the ship and player home aspect of it but its adds a TON for building

[dapper galleon]

Nice I might take a look at it later. I have to re count my mods installed to make sure I'm not getting to over done

[past tide]

Thats my worry, I've found that weapon mods that mess with audio, break Starfield.

Like the starwars blaster overhauls

[wicked patrol]

Somebody should make a mod that adds some tracks to the game

[dapper galleon]

I stay away from weapons mods outside of the Darkstar ones.

I only have one camo mod for them too.

@frosty rover Iv been busy with some hunting 😂

[past tide]

Only mods I've used are the Old World Weapons which I paid for with the CC

I couldnt resist the urge to go "ooga booga" and kill high tech mercs with a pipe rifle, I'm sorry

[frosty rover]

LOL, so you have! Man, I have to get that display mod. It looks amazing.

[dapper galleon]

It really adds flavor to my bounty hunter Vibe.

When people ask oh so you have a brigg... I'm like no I have a trophy room.

[safe sorrel]

Any ideas as to why the CK might suddenly decide not to launch anymore from Steam?

[frosty rover]

Wish i could help. I launch my through MO2. I have not tried from steam directly, and have never had a problem with it not launching. It just randomly stopped working?

[regal wasp]

so kind of a silly question, whats the general consensus on place doors yourself? is it worth while, do people like it or does it still need work?

[safe sorrel]

Yeah, it’s been launching fine this whole time, then today it was just like “nope”

[thick plaza]

Alright this is the first bug ive ran into in months

chameleon is stuck on

[frosty rover]

I remember this being a thing when Starfield 1st launched. Was mostly reports of it being on Andreja though.

[frosty rover]

Why are you naked though? lol

[thick plaza]

my whole body was invisibile with the armor on lol

hopefully it isnt gamebreaking

[frosty rover]

i think there was a way to fix it. I dont remember what. Im sure there is plenty of info out there on it.

[thick plaza]

right, ill look into it latr

[hoary lava]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/s/K0wYozK41P

Exiting and reload should fix, if it doesn't, going through enhance does.

[fiery ledge]

Can someone make a mod that gets rid of these annoying labels

[hoary lava]

Aren't there settings to turn off?

I don't know if there is.

[safe sorrel]

Ayyy fixed it!

[fiery ledge]

I just had to turn off the hud

[frosty rover]

How did you fix it?

[safe sorrel]

Looks like the .ini for saved settings got corrupted, deleted that and things worked fine after

https://forums.nexusmods.com/topic/13494407-starfield-creation-kit-not-launching-solution/

I’m guessing when I quit with two render windows open, and it complained about it later was maybe what did it

Had to set up my dock again, but that was it

[hoary lava]

This happened to me after update and I didn't know what exactly did it, but I did remove INI lol.

[safe sorrel]

So weird!

[hoary lava]

I agree, It was one of my last resorts.

[shell pelican]

Explain to me like I'm 5 what is INI?

[west flare]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/3732?tab=description

[autumn idol]

wait this the same as the VC?

[mellow bone]

Looks like

[west flare]

The paid one though looks slightly different. Seemed a bit downgrade by appearance IMO.

[autumn idol]

VC modders making the program into a joke

[west flare]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/8861 Then there's this, another free vault tec vasco mod.

[frosty rover]

ah, good to know if I run into someone with the same issue. 👍

[west flare]

I think people like TankGirl and other VC modders who make good quality paid mods deserve to make it paid if they put in much work and effort into making it good quality. I would not support VC modders that do little effort in making low quality mods. And I bought TankGirl's mods on Creations Menu because they look promising and with good quality like other VC modders with their good quality mods.

[dry coral]

Outpost is coming along.

[lyric finch]

Anyone used the Five dot Seven pistol mod off of Bethnet?

[true valley]

Hi everyone. For xbox series x starfield, what happens to mod added weapons when you go through unity(ie- do they respawn back at their original location)?

[hoary lava]

It is a configuration file that tells the program what the settings are essentially. (INI stands for INIitialization file).

[shell pelican]

Awesome thank you

[sharp lynx]

Many thank ❤️ . I do indeed work hard and my motto is to give people the absolute as much I can stuff into a project. (General PSA) Ignoring my own work I think generalizing us all based on individual work are things people should stop doing. This is a market and when you go buy products anywhere else on this planet, you'll find that not every chair is built with the same materials tools and soundness, does that make it bad... That's not for me to say, some folks buy plywood stools others buy a bean bag chair and some sit on milk crates. At the end of the day use your own judgment. Which I think you for doing <3.

It's like comparing apples to oranges

[west flare]

Well for some people, the apple doesn't fall quite far from the tree and apparently doesn't get run over by a friggin lawnmower. 🤣 jk.

[sharp lynx]

that's reddit

[lyric finch]

Should do, unity hop forces a full reload of the game resetting everything

[sharp lynx]

their apple tree didn't even bloom

[west flare]

Speaking of that, imagine if Starfield on planets for some reason has apple trees. And to interact with a tree, we get apples. I bet either Bethesda's gonna implement that, or modders naturally gonna beat them to it. But I digress.

[sharp lynx]

Good thing I already made that lol

[west flare]

Oh, where? What mod is that?

[sharp lynx]

It's just a matter of time until I get the free time to port that over

[west flare]

Another reason why you deserve compensation for making quality mods. And when you get exhausted, you deserve some rest.

[sharp lynx]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/8973 here's that mod lol

[west flare]

It's not just about how many hours you work on it, it's about how much talent and work you put in it.

[sharp lynx]

well, sure... but time matters lol If I have more time I can do more things

[west flare]

I said not "just". It's not really the sole reason why. It's part of it, but not the sole reason why.

[sharp lynx]

eh, my point is that I'd have the ability to do all the things I'd like

[west flare]

And that is something I respect.

[sharp lynx]

like port that mod there

[west flare]

Speaking of which, for that Colony mod, is it on Creations menu?

[sharp lynx]

nope

[west flare]

Oh, gotcha. Because I think IMO the assets might need to be archived into a BSA in case the outfits I see currently on my game are either invisible or parts are missing. But you do you. As you said, you can do whatever you want. UPDATE: Wait, I just checked your bugs section of your mod page. Yeah, I know you're already aware of this and have already show solutions. Gonna look at them right now. Keep up the good work.

[dreamy hinge]

If I wanted to report a bug with a Creation on Xbox, should I just post here or on Nexus?

[sharp lynx]

what kinda bug we talking? Bettles? ants? the flying ones?

[dreamy hinge]

Millipedes. And SFE v1.1 causing frame drops

[west flare]

Butterflies?

[dreamy hinge]

Happens with new games, and the only mods active are SVF and SFE.

[frosty rover]

Love that mod. I mean you have mechs with frikin laser beams attached to their heads. Whats not to like?

[sharp lynx]

100% but that's not all I painfully spent hours giving every fruit a lore description

and you get hotdog hamburgers and milkshakes

there was nothing more hilarious then.... making a super projectile and a mech with big swords then doubling back the next hour to spend forever making a hamburger.

[frosty rover]

lol

[sharp lynx]

btw, nice to see that we both featured in JuiceHeads vid XD

great work ❤️

love the mod

[sharp lynx]

Big plastic forks

[dry coral]

Lol, yes!

[sharp lynx]

you could eat a lotta salad with those

[dry coral]

I used to mod somewhat back in the day too 😄

[frosty rover]

Ah yes I saw. You did great work on yours too.👍

[frosty rover]

whats that from?

[dry coral]

No Man's Sky

[frosty rover]

nice

[dry coral]

100% glitch-built base. Last one I did before Starfield dropped.

[sharp lynx]

Looks pretty dope

[dry coral]

Thank you!

[frosty rover]

Thats how you got the structures to extend out on the water?

[sharp lynx]

Speaking of outposts, wanna sneak peak of my recent crazy things

[dry coral]

They are mounted on walls that have been rotated, probably about 30 in each

[frosty rover]

I would like to see.

[gilded axle]

Argh I stepped away from my modding project for a few days and then went back in to CK without marking the file as 'active'. Two hours of work later, the only way I could save it was as a new esp... anyone know how I can merge those changes back into my main file?

[sharp lynx]

I need to get those fences all lined up better

[dry coral]

Love the wear on the fence wood. Makes it look very authentic

[frosty rover]

ouch, yeah its not to hard

[gilded axle]

seriously annoyed at myself

[sharp lynx]

you can open a second esp and just duplicate everything, that's one method

they don't snap cause I absolutely hate the snap feature

[safe sorrel]

Niiiiiice!

[sharp lynx]

but they're easy to set up I built that in like 3 mins

I think fudging things always end up looking better than lego brick limited snaps

what do yall think tho?

[dry coral]

Love them. Very curious about the middle building at the wingtip

[sharp lynx]

there's about 35 of them so you got plenty to explore

It's a special treat

[dry coral]

Nice!

[gilded axle]

I was messing about with a bunch of fine tuning. Oh well. I guess I'll just redo.

[sharp lynx]

that's pain

I've done that a few times before too

[rapid cliff]

Are there any mods or will there be any mods outside of Beth official ones that are achievement friendly?

[hoary lava]

In time, I am sure they will have this issue resolved.

[frosty rover]

I sent you a DM with info on how to do it.

[rapid cliff]

Hoping so. I’m starting my playthrough for SS and want to keep so many of my mods. You guys are amazing.

[sharp lynx]

way to be a real one

[west flare]

I wish Bethesda would someday have a Galactic War story DLC that would have us the SpaceFarer to participate in that galactic war, so that I would have Tank_Girl's Colony mod to prepare for potential planet invasions for my outposts to defend against.

[sharp lynx]

If they don't I'll make it myself

[west flare]

Damn right you will. If Bethesda won't do it, modders will. A galactic war that would have to force the UC, the FC, and House Varuun to form a coalition against a common enemy that might threaten their factions and all the Settled Systems. Just like the Human-Covenant War with UNSC and Insurrectionists and eventually the Sangheili having to form an alliance against the Covenant and the Flood, or when in Naruto Shippuden when Five Shinobi nations ally against the Akatsuki. Star Wars obviously is no stranger to galactic wars, because it's called Star Wars for a reason.

[gilded axle]

Trying to avoid an obvious grid layout. Getting good results from working in packins which I place off-angle into a cell, but interested in any tips on how to get that organic feel.

[west flare]

Doesn't have to be planetary invasion by sentient aliens. What if planets being invaded by alien robots?

Damn, Tank Girl. I gotta say, you do know how to make badass armor to make those guys look incredibly badass.

As a Halo fan, I am totally loving these guys. It's obviously giving me not only Halo vibes, but also Aliens vibes like the Colonial Marines. You mix up UNSC Marines and Colonial Marines, and they end up like that.

[torpid badger]

So todays learning task

• learn how to create a datapad and place in the world

• learn how to place weapons in the world

• learn how to trigger an event to direct a player to a leveled item 🙂

[hoary lava]

Nah, there's more good than bad.

[stiff compass]

@sly ocean I have a question about a mod you made

[sudden knoll]

Old chat. But I like doing that with more organic types of architecture. Stuff like industrial and commercial buildings I tend to try and make very ergonomic and “square” (like aligned, snapped, and really well oriented) since they tend to reflect that in real life.

Oh, also how did your new Vegas TC go? Still working on it?

[bright onyx]

Is there ever an instance where a unity trip isn't enough and we need to start a new game?

[autumn idol]

mods that affects perks

since those are persistent

[bright onyx]

Could that lead to instability with saving?

I just keep trying to fix my eventual crashes. I can unity trip then play for an hour but always my saves eventually ctd when

[autumn idol]

yes if you switched a mod that affected perks

[bright onyx]

Yea I've definitely done that lol

[autumn idol]

we need this for Starfield
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/5031

[bright onyx]

I've had the same character since pre-order early release

[autumn idol]

the aout of hanging scripts people have n their saves are crazy

[bright onyx]

I have that for sse

Oh damn yea we do

[bright onyx]

Thanks, I wasn't sure if a unity trip carried anything over but the perks make sense

I had that starborn armaments mod

[torpid badger]

What perk do people like on clothing (not armour)?

[safe sorrel]

The biggest thing for me is that the female versions are as practical looking as the male ones. I don’t like it when the clothes for female characters are all “sexy” versions

[wraith mirage]

I am for fairness and equality, men also have the right to sexy clothes with ornaments the size of a postage stamp 😹

[torpid badger]

I agree 😊

What I meant was +5 02 or reload, persuasion etc

[stone peak]

sexy get persuasion

[safe sorrel]

If it goes both ways the author gets a virtual first bump from me

[safe sorrel]

Carry capacity! That’s the thing I find myself needing pretty often

Reload speed is another, never hurts to be faster in combat

[brazen sleet]

My Creation Kit crashes when I try loading the Starfield.esm :/

I'm using the GamePass version of Starfield, but I've done the workaround for getting the CK to work by dropping all of the CK files into the Starfield content folder, so it's not clear to me what's causing this. I've been able to load it before.

[brazen sleet]

Incidentally, would anyone be able to direct me to which esm I should load up if I wanted to make changes to the start of the Trackers Alliance mission chain? I want Inevitable to show up later than she usually does.

[hoary lava]

Do you have a custom INI file?

[brazen sleet]

Oh, odd, I thought I did -- I've definitely edited it before, but now I can't find it.

I've got a StarfieldCustom in Documents>My Games>Starfield, but no "Custom" INI... I wonder where it went.

[hoary lava]

Removed on rover update maybe?

[brazen sleet]

I bet that's it, the timing makes sense

[hoary lava]

Also, I would ensure your CK is up to date as well.

[brazen sleet]

Miraculous, thank you

[wraith mirage]

I bought the old mariner mod, but when I make the walls to decorate my ship, they are smaller than the cabin. Is there a way to enlarge it ?

[hoary lava]

Work for you?

[oak plinth]

Go easy on me! I'm a total newb to modding. I broke down and bought a PC so I could get into modding. I have been playing around with ship habs and wanted to create a 3x3x2 and since there aren't any in the game, I am going to need to create one. I have figured out I need to do that in blender, and downloaded the NIF Migration tool, but I can't for the life of me find the nif files. I have watched a few videos, and read the little bit of documentation I could fine, but they all start off just a step or two past where I am. I'm not asking anyone to teach me that here, but is there a solid, tutorial somewhere that goes through every step? Also, I am using Gamepass is that makes a difference.

[night ocean]

use archive2 or bethesda archive extractor to extract these, most of them are in there.

[brazen sleet]

Sure did, sanity restored. For now.

[hoary lava]

I use BAE, what are you looking to do? Usually the meshespatch.ba2 is what you need.

[hoary lava]

You can also quickly extract Mat, Particles, and scripts in tools/content resources. Be aware that extracting all materials into local will cause an issue with Starfield launching, you will need to rename that folder to play and revert to edit.

[night ocean]

I am not looking to do anything, I was answering a question..

[oak plinth]

Thanks, will give that a shot

[oak plinth]

I am trying to take the 3x3x1 hab and make it a 3x3x2. I have edited the interior but since the exterior is one mesh, I will need to edit it. Thanks for the tips, I will look into all of that.

[lyric finch]

Updated my mod list and now I can load into the game

[oak plinth]

I got the BAE and found some ba2 files but when I drag them in they are all empty. Also, I don't see any starfield BA2 files, but I do see SFBGS003 - Main.ba2 which I belive is the same. I think one of the issues is everyone is using steam, but I am using the GamePass files and for whatever reason, they are a bit different, so it's challenging when my files/folders don't look the same.

[hoary lava]

Sorry, didn't realize as you weren't replying to anyone...

I misread your comment.

[night ocean]

just answering the comment directly before mine. i tend to avoid replying because people can be oddly childish about pings on discord.

[hoary lava]

You don't say, weird.

[obtuse blaze]

It must have been deleted

[oak plinth]

Got the BAE working finally, all the links I found were to old files but a few pages into my google results, I found the updated one. Now off to learn blender.

[night ocean]

nifskope might be a little easier and can probably do what you want as well

[lyric finch]

@true igloo are you the one that made the additional weapon icon mod?

[autumn idol]

yes he is

[dry coral]

Had an issue with my console so I did a factory reset. Now I can't connect to Bethesda.net. Aslo, "keeping game settings and data" doesn't keep the reserve file intact so you'll have to download all mods again.

[sharp lynx]

Man, I'm so glad I don't play on Xbox

[dry coral]

No worries and it's all fixed. Most of my mods are outpost related so it only took a few minutes anyway.

[dry coral]

Love how the glass and doors are so functional. Safety first!

[rapid cliff]

Just wanna throw appreciation out there for all you modders. 10 hours into a vanilla save I went to customize the Star Eagle a bit and remembered why I have only played with mods so far...19 stops later, I finally have sort of what I was wanting. Modders rock!

[wicked patrol]

Anyone know why b isn't working to exit menus on xbox

[sly ocean]

You can just ask the question, or DM me - no need to notify me that you have a question 😁

[dapper galleon]

It's not to bad if you play other games, but yea starfeild just seems to be rather Unpredictable. Like it's unstable

[dapper galleon]

Is it possible for someone here to make a ship part like this drones hover wings. I want to build a zero landing gear ship and want to have this on it

[dire wave]

Anyone know where the essential crew mod went by chance?

I need to uninstall it or a update it currently I can't play my whole starfeild game because of it I believe cuase the other mod am having trouble woth I see but not essential crew mod

[fair lantern]

quick question, is there a pokeball mod?

[autumn idol]

nope

[dreamy hinge]

QSO has something coming up that looks pokeball-like, not sure what it does though.

@sly ocean Can I add the ultimate stealth ring with a console command?
Can I add it?

[honest wedge]

Does SF have xedit ?

[timid temple]

The walls are unfortunately a bit smaller than anyone would like, because otherwise they collide with the hab floor/ceiling and won't place at all

[autumn idol]

yes

had it since day one

[honest wedge]

The regular Xedit works? I know the documentation doesn't list SF in it at all so I guess the "support" is not "official" atm

[wraith mirage]

ok ! so it's better that I go through the CK to add the walls? By the way, did you receive my private message?

[timid temple]

yes to both! I've just woken up lawl, still catching up on my entire internet

[honest wedge]

I wonder, is the DLC release going to accompany with decently sized update for the base game?

[wraith mirage]

I'll have to learn how to use the CK... It's going to be funny I feel it 😹

[lyric finch]

Any chance someone can make a skin for the Venator suit that keeps it its normal black but puts Va'ruun sigils on thr shoulders and maybe gets rid of the cloak on bethnet?

Akila filter removal mod for xbox/pc request 🙏

Can someone please make this i know there's already a mod that removes all filters from the game, but I noticed during my heavily modded playthrough that Akila is the only location where the filter isn't needed. Without the ugly brown filter, the city's and planet's colors really stand out more, in my opinion. The grass, trees, and sky look much better without it. Therefore, a mod that removes the filter specifically from Akila would be nice for Pc and Xbox, as I enjoy having the filter on planets like Mars or Titan, for example.

Link to the old request on Reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/StarfieldModsXbox/s/K1LphZx9Cl

[autumn idol]

it is wtf...

[honest wedge]

Then the info is out of date in git since i dont see SF there at all listed in the documentation, also the SF1Edit seems to be hidden in nexus

[timid temple]

Sf1edit to my understanding was included in an early ish version of xedit and then removed because there's stability issues, i think. It's a bit of a pain to find it now

[honest wedge]

Oh might be why its still hidden

[glad urchin]

@surreal storm pls check dms

Hopefully they will fix issue between mod and buggy

[dry coral]

Post-patch ships aren't as nice 😄

[limber current]

It's not to bad 😆 you haven't used the mod that lets you merge stuff?

[dry coral]

Thanks! Not yet, I was going to wait until SS drops to see if BGS is going to introduce any new shipbuilding stuff.

Also dealing with an odd quirk. I reset my Xbox last night and suddenly couldn't connect to Creations anymore...until I hardwired my box. If I switch back to wireless, I lose the connection again. So now I have CAT 6 lying on the floor in my living room lol.

[limber current]

Ah gotcha 23 more days!!!!!

[limber current]

That's weird Xbox be like that sometimes 😆

[dry coral]

I'm going to look at moving my router inside but I'll need some optical cable to extend the drop in my garage.

[oak plinth]

I have accidently changed one of the core habs when creating a new one and now that change is baked into my mod. How can I undo that change? I assume that mods just save any 'new' edits and overrides the core object, so surely there is a way to remove those overrides?

[hoary lava]

Easiest way is to find the alteration in Xedit and just delete the form from the plugin. Others may have a better way to clean up, but this is how I would go about it.

[oak plinth]

I will check that out. I have been looking for ways to clean up my mod.

[hoary lava]

Great thing about Xedit, is it only shows what has been altered, only shows what is actually in esp/esm. If you need help finding Xedit, just scroll up a bit. I just posted the link for someone else.

[oak plinth]

Is Xedit only for Steam? I am using filed from xbox gamepass.

[hoary lava]

No. You can use it on any gamefolder.

[oak plinth]

I downloaded it, and am running the xSFEdit file, but get an error it couldn't open the registry key for Fallout4. I downloaded the latest from GitHub, and made sure to execute the SF version.

[hoary lava]

You need to rename xSFEdit to SF1Edit and drop in main game folder, it will then run.

[sand bloom]

I like it

[uncut sandal]

I built this a couple of days ago. Its really nice and cool, and fast

Vanilla built, no mods needed

[dry coral]

Very nice indeed!

Very similar to this ship as well, I love the sideways mounted reactor from Matilija.

That ship has morphed into this one now (since I ended up going through the unity once again lol):

@sand bloom Thank you!

@limber current So after living in my current place for the past four years, I finally got around to hardwiring all of my living room equipment. Good thing I had a spare switch and 100' of CAT 6 laying around lol.

[uncut sandal]

That was an ecliptic falcata I'm going to guess?

Mine is based on the same design, but I scratch built it myself then made some minor adaptions to add the bigger fuel tank and increase to 4 habs

[dry coral]

Maybe, I bought it through the DarkStar vendor terminal and then customized it.

I usually scatch-build all of my ships too but this one had the base look I was going for already 😄

I'm building small ships these days so no more than two empty habs allowed. I had a pretty sweet one-hab build but it was lost to the unity.

[limber current]

That's good to hear 💯💯

[dry coral]

This one here.

[uncut sandal]

I don't have any of the extra parts mods installed as I am determined to build using just the game provided parts

I like the "NASA-Punk" aesthetic

[dry coral]

Nice! Hopefully when SS drops we'll get some new stuff

[cold slate]

Is the author is the "No Spinup Microgun" mod on here?

That mod is not functioning after the recent update.

This has to be a game bug, how the hell does the enemy teleport itself to an area I can't get to, essentially blocking progress

[wraith mirage]

I would love to know that too, pretty please 🥹

[mystic fox]

is anyone else having an issue with cities disappearing when they download to many mods?

[alpine gate]

How do you guys create mods btw?

I’m kinda curious

[hoary lava]

https://tenor.com/view/magic-gif-26166638

[hoary lava]

Jk bro, magic ain't real. We use CK, Xedit, and many other tools depending on what you are trying to accomplish.

[alpine gate]

Alright.

And all content policies are to followed, right? If there’s any copyright, would that result in a DMCA strike?

[autumn idol]

It's not removed its literally on their github wtf @honest wedge

Ya either A compiled from guthub or B grab it from their discord

[hoary lava]

This has already been answered lol.

[cobalt edge]

you can find over on nexus mods the Micro Modules mod which has the grav spike Equipment to help make a zero landing gear ship as for the drone i have no idea

[dry coral]

This ship was a particular challenge to build...especially after enjoying a few adult beverages tonight...

[hoary lava]

Not exactly sure what you mean by this, but no stolen assets or breaking copyright laws isn't something encouraged.

[alpine gate]

Then what could DMCA laws only be for?

[hoary lava]

Once again I'm not sure what you mean by this, but stealing others work is extremely frowned upon.

I'm not a lawyer.

[autumn idol]

Ah

[hoary lava]

Just saying... lol. No need to poke at good modders because they were wrong about one thing.

Really kills the vibe. Brah.

[tulip flower]

This is like the 3rd time Today I updated the Atom-74.

[autumn idol]

That has to be a bug

[wary arch]

So what Star Wars Droid would fit the Derek mod I have Star wars droids mod and wanna change his skin

[winter sleet]

Working on a new mod since I got the CK working with Gamepass. This one is Star Wars themed.

[wary arch]

Noice

[winter sleet]

just needs custom Ewok enemies

[wary arch]

How easy is that

[winter sleet]

not sure but seeing as there's Star Wars droids and SW aliens mods probably not too hard

still learning the CK

[wary arch]

I have a question is it possible to change the menu music

I would love it if the menu music can be changed to this

https://youtu.be/mDx3QC-3BCw?feature=shared

[wary arch]

I freaking give up on this mod

It's low on the load order in a good spot the original head is trying to take priority

[strong oak]

Most triggers are at the end of the questline. They populate to your inventory. If you end the questline and did not get the Quest Reward. A trigger got missed. So you do a save before starting the quest and a few times in it. Then you can jump back and try again. The quests do sometimes complete and you miss the quest reward. If you are supposed to grab it from a box - it will not stay there very long. The location will reset after a time. For the Ramses II mod - Sometimes Ramses is away from his spawning location. You can return to finish him anytime and then get his reward weapon. It depends on the mod Quest in this case.

[torpid badger]

Thanks for that, im looking at making my own and trying to work out the reward part

[stone peak]

Cool

[narrow isle]

I have 2 questions:

1. Can someone tell me without spoiling much where I would have to go to initiate quest that leads to buying or getting a homelocation? I just want a hint to where approximately it is.

2. Is there a location in the game where you get a quest to transport an npc to a location? I had a quest where I had to transport miners away from a place. However I can not find that quest in the game files because it is probably a complex dynamic quest

[lyric finch]

No tattoo mods on Xbox? That's a surprise

[narrow isle]

How to correctly debug a quest?

I am currently trying to get an npc to be a passenger on my ship. I looked at the existing transport quests and learned to use the script used for it. However ingame the npc won't get on the ship.

Is there a debug command that can be used to show errors in a specific quest so I can track down what the issue is?

I am currently bruteforce debugging my quest by changing things around to find out why something does not work however that takes a lot of time. It would be helpful to have some ingame console or printed log that shows why something does not work

[potent wadi]

Hopefully someone can help me out, i am trying to put music (an external wav file) in one of my cells i created. I can´t find any documentation on the subject. i am able to make NPC´s talk etc . i already installed wwise. Can someone please put me in the right direction ? Thanks 😉

it's so beautiful, I can't wait for it to come out, i can't even put a damn plant, well done Hjalmere, i'm in love, perfect for the dlc 🥰

[hexed pilot]

Does anybody know how to unlock and open a door from a terminal? I've tried creating a property for a terminal entry but the CK won't let me. I've gone through some of the game's locations with terminal-locked doors and their native terminals have no script in their entries, which is very confusing.

[narrow isle]

Try looking at linked refs, perhaps a door is linked to another object

[hexed pilot]

I did notice that the doors were connected to the terminal, but the terminal itself had no script or entry that indicated that it could unlock or open any linked doors.

Like the terminal that opens a door in the abandoned research outpost

[hexed pilot]

Okay I just found out what happened. You were right, there was something going on with how the door was linked to the terminal. I had to set up a link from the terminal to the door and then modify the linked ref Keyword to LinkTerminalDoor, at which point once you open the terminal in-game an option to "control doors" will appear.

[dapper galleon]

I also have a question, can I make mods with just a laptop.

Not trying to run the game just make armor mods. Like I might follow through with maybe crash course teaching myself to make mods.

But like with a Laptop. Any recommendations.

Also won't be any time soon. But eventually because I may just go ahead and try to make the Spartan lock armor for this game since it doesn't seem like anyone else will. Kinda want something like that in game

This leads me to my next question, if lets say that army exist in another game like it has its own 3d model render from that game could I essentially copy that and just bring it to Starfeild

[hexed pilot]

I'm both playing and making mods with a laptop right now, I haven't experienced any issues asside from very populated cells running slower on the CK (but I think that's normal).

[dapper galleon]

Nice, yea For me it's going to be crazy because I have zero experience in any of this.

But I almost got to the point where I was going. To try and hire someone to make the mods then figures ok I may not play this game long term but Maybe I can try to learn to make mods anyway and just do it myself

It really stems from the fact that the one armor I want in mods was made by a mod author who is no longer active.

And he they didn't leave permissions open.

So I basically have to try and remake it myself but the armor itself exist in another game so Kinda wondering if there's a copy paste method to modding it into this game

[hexed pilot]

Hear John Carmack on this "You can't learn everything, you just have to convince yourself that you can learn anything". In other words, if you really want it to happen, give it some time and you'll get the hang of it. I didn't imagine myself making mods, but after a few attempts at trying to understand the tools I got the hang of it (a little bit at least).

Hope it helps (had to edit the message because I got the quote wrong XD)

[dapper galleon]

Who knows though maybe by the time I do learn this stuff someone would have added in like a Iron man armor.

There is halo armors but I deleted them because the UI problem it gave me. There is like 100 parts and they populated every type of workbench so to just get to my volatile rounds in my Darkstar workbenches I have to cycle through a 100 halo armor parts

I'm extremely surprised someone has t made a futuristic armor or like an iron man style suit in this game already

My idea would be a two part armor and Wrist Apparel to match it

So the armor would be a nano tech iron man style suit helmet and suit...
And a wrist brace like @frosty rover bounty hunter one, that houses the actual suit.

So when your not wearing it it's not like you remove it and hang it it's houses in that watch.

Now to learn to do this, and firstly buy the right laptop to do this on that's the first hurdle lol

[hexed pilot]

My guess is; any laptop with 16GB of RAM, Intel Core i7 and an Nvidia 30 series (or similar) card should do it (at least to run the CK and test the mod on pc at a decent framerate).

Also about the two part suit, I cannot speak too much on this as I've yet to mod any new suits in the game, but all armor except the starborn suits is three piece. There's clothes too, so I guess if you want to go the easy route you can just make a body part and head part and call it a day. Basically, it's probably trickier to do a two part suit than it is following through the standard of the game (which is: spacesuit, helmet, backpack).

[dapper galleon]

Well the backpack could be made too, it would just have to essentially be invisible sort of or blend into the armor itself so it doesn't look goofy.

[shell pelican]

Anyone know if it would be possible to mod a gun to have an optional under mounted grenade launcher? Like say attach a Negotiator to the bottom of an AA-99 and make it one gun with in the field selectable firing mods.

[hexed pilot]

From what I could see on the inspector for the Beowulf (as an example), there's a tab called embedded with an option to add an embedded mod. Checking the box does nothing, so I guess under mounted weapons might've been possible at one point or maybe they could be brought back with scripting. It might just be something else completely, idk that's all I could find.

[narrow isle]

How does the game "take npcs out of the game"? Like for example if I want to interact with an npc, then that npc should leave (and visually disappear) until I make him reappear in another location.

Can I use enable/disable for that? Or do I have to use "holding cells"? These appear to be "parking locations" for npcs.

[shell pelican]

Interesting. I know SS is going to add more guns so maybe they will add something to that effect. I'm going to look more into it. I'm thinking the major issue would be figuring out how to add in the actual "in the field selectable firing mode" I feel once that was a thing, that would open up so many new options.

[night ocean]

either is fine. depends on your use case. honestly if youre making them appear in different locations for different reasons, or having different appearances, its often easier to disable the first one, clone him, and have that clone be in the second location. then you can just rely on disable/enable based on quest stages or whatever instead of worrying about moving them around or changing their outfit and whatnot.

good example of that is deacon in fallout 4. i think theres 7 or 8 deacons in the game.

[hexed pilot]

The Laser Cutter already has a "secondary fire" option, it really is just a charge mode, but it does something apart from aiming, that could be a start? Also, I guess adding under barrel weapons might make other explosive weapons obsolete? Like, why would someone want to use the Bridger if their fully upgraded Beowulf can also throw grenades.

[shell pelican]

I actually forgot about the lazer cutter haha good point. As for the obsolete thing, technically one could make that argument for many mods for example the instant unlock mod for lockpicking makes the digipicks obsolete but yeah I do see your point tho.

[dapper galleon]

This so what I'm looking to see in creations

[raw viper]

Hi, I'm trying to find a load order guide for Xbox but the more I research the more I get confused 😅
Does anyone have som tips?

That's the best I found yet

[upbeat furnace]

One tip I have is that the feeling of being overwhelmed is normal. So hang in there!

[uncut sandal]

Essentially, it comes down to keeping mods grouped together from their respective categories, and trying to put the categories in the order that the game would load stuff

so it loads the world first and the environment, then buildings, then NPC's, and stuff like clothing mods can go at the bottom as they arent directly loaded each time

[raw viper]

I'm trying to find how the game load 😅

[uncut sandal]

But the unofficla patch OR community patch go at the top

as they change fundamentals of the game. Quest alterations and cheats that alter your env go immediately below

I have the cheat terminal immediately below the unofficial patch

[raw viper]

So the list I found isn't far off

[uncut sandal]

If a mod is tagged "load order neutral" then it technically doesn't matter where it goes, but i'd put that at the bottom to be safe

Also try to practice "min modding"

the game has a horrendous bug where it turns out it cannot load more than a set number of plugins

And one mod can have multiple plugins

[raw viper]

How many?

[uncut sandal]

255 Plugins/handles. But the way the game uses them is very very unusual. A plugin is generated if a mod removes an item or adds an item. A mod that does multiple of both can have 10 or 20 plugins easily

[raw viper]

I used a whole day building a ship and the game froze when I exited the building mode 😅

[wary arch]

Can someone please help me
The original head is trying to be a priority

[uncut sandal]

whats the problem?

[wary arch]

But the thing is the mod is low in the load order

[uncut sandal]

That means if you've uninstalled the mod, then the mod still has files somewhere

Mod overwrites can break very easily

[wary arch]

I just installed it..

Can I show you my load order in dm?

[uncut sandal]

how many mods do you have just out of curiosity?

It might be that a mod is failing to load altogether

because you have more than the game can load

we are seeing more and more cases of this

[wary arch]

7 GB of mods

[uncut sandal]

Star wars mods insert So many plugins and handles its not even funny

#1275560245510275093 message

Thats a modder explaining the bug in succinct but technical detail

[wary arch]

I'm too non technical to understand

[uncut sandal]

Basically anything over 100 mods will stop working

[raw viper]

I shaved a bit off, does the load order look good?

[uncut sandal]

In some cases, you can hit that limit in 50 odd mods

[uncut sandal]

observatory is an outpost insertion so adds stuff only on request, not onload. It should be near the bottom. 200 ship crew slots just breaks the game.

[raw viper]

I don't think I'll need 1222 crew members 😅
I put the observatory last.

[uncut sandal]

REMEMBER you MUST reset your xbox every time you change the laod order in any given way. Thats a cold hard boot from unplugged to make sure it clears the cache.

[raw viper]

That's what I'm working on, or trying to a least 😅

[uncut sandal]

I don't see the obesssion with massive war barges myself

I like to fly small and light

also, I only ever build vanilla as I like the NASA-Punk aesthtic

[raw viper]

I needed to try one 😅

[uncut sandal]

The ship I built the other day

[raw viper]

Sleek and smooth 👌👌👌

[uncut sandal]

That has 4 habs

30LY jump, 100 mobility

top speed of 214

[raw viper]

I use my version of the flathead normally, ima do a reboot now.. you say it's best to unplug the Xbox as well?

[uncut sandal]

yeah, that clears the cache. Its a must with any bethesda game when modding

[raw viper]

Good to know 👌👌👌

[uncut sandal]

The RAM cache stays alive as long as it has even residual power

and stuff can get stuck in it

[dry coral]

Built this last night.

[raw viper]

Somehow, after the update and my struggles.. I've got 5.5m back in the game 🤣 must be the residual cash that bugged, positively for once 🤣

[uncut sandal]

Also please note that the xbox does not update mods itself, and cannot see when mods have had an update. you actually need to update by uninstalling/reinstalling each mod then manually moving back into place in the load order

[raw viper]

So when I update in the creation menu it doesn't do it properly?

[dry coral]

I've had a few newer mods appear in a new "updated" category in Xbox Creations. Those ones didn't have to be deleted before updating.

I've had three appear there recently.

I wish they all were like that 😄

[raw viper]

Each time I start the game, I need to update a bunch of them, I should delete them and reinstall them?

[dry coral]

I would. Keep in mind however that some mods require deletion of anything you built with them prior to updating unfortunately. I lost an outpost recently because I updated without removing a hab I had built with the old version and the outpost builder started crashing the game afterwards

The mod creator will hopefully specify if this is the case (to delete items prior).

[raw viper]

What a hassle 😅

[dry coral]

Yep...as an added bonus, I put in a ticket to BGS asking if they could fix that requirement and their response was that mods weren't supported.

[raw viper]

🙈🙈🙈

Why oppen up for that then 😅

None the less 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[uncut sandal]

There is a clause that says mods are provided at your own risk and BGS cannot support them

[raw viper]

Butt making money on them is ok I suppose 🤣

[safe sorrel]

You shouldn’t have to delete items built by a mod when a mod updates

[dry coral]

I agree

but I've been bitten by that a few times now

[safe sorrel]

But weren’t they new stand alone versions?

[dry coral]

I've built three outposts in the same spot for the past month lol

[safe sorrel]

Like the expanded habs and my walls and doors mod?

[dry coral]

It was an update to an existing mod.

[raw viper]

That's my little toad, need som love but does the jobb

[safe sorrel]

Huh, interesting, which mod was it? I’m wondering why that might happen.

[dry coral]

I DMed you the link. The mod description has the warning that was included later after release.

[dry coral]

This is pretty impressive. I can't wait for the release: https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/1fbn8yp/interior_tour_of_the_falkland_swift_part_of_the/

[limber current]

Hopefully this drops before SS. Most likely not but it would awesome if he did

[wraith mirage]

it's insane, I don't even dare to imagine the number of days spent on it

[mystic fox]

Does anyone know how to tell if a mod uses multiple plugins?

[valid gulch]

I get that with Cheat terminal multiple times and useful brigs

[valid gulch]

I do that every time with 3 mods.

[raw viper]

I'm organizing my library now so that I can delete everything, reinstall and put my loade order fast.
I'm still struggling with my game freezing when I leave shipbuilding, even if I don't change anything om a ship.
If reinstalling mods doesn't work then ima try to load a hard save I have before I started with mods 🤷

[valid gulch]

Fun thing is with my library doesn't have all mods I have in it as I go into bookmarks for as issues came up which even a broken mod I can't remove from either bookmark or library.

[sharp lotus]

Can it lift stars?

[raw viper]

I'm starting to think that starting with mods was a bad idea 😅
I've been stuk for a week now 🤣

[valid gulch]

I been fine for most part on xbox wise lol only game crash everytime reinstall the 3 mods.

[raw viper]

Which mods?

[valid gulch]

Cheat terminal, useful brig and patch for useful brig

[raw viper]

What is the best mods to build big ships?

[raw viper]

Less buggy ones 🤣

[twin atlas]

Users have completely burned me out on starfield modding. The hundreds of hours sunk into it, working every single day since the Ck launched. They want a timeframe, Changes and Requests. "Take breaks" they say, then in the same breath send requests. I work a full time job and have 4-6 hours of free time a day. Let alone, the time it takes learning the Ck and other tools to bring a mod users cant even agree on to the game. I tried to take a break and discord pings constantly.

[hoary lava]

Go silent, stay quite. That's what I do lol.

[limber current]

If your talking about that discord then yeah I understand that. The constant request is crazy. No hate towards anyone but jeez bruh you can't be requesting stuff 24/7

[hoary lava]

I associate with my small group (as you know), and I chat on here occasionally... but as far as requests go, nah bro. You either like my style or not.

[valid gulch]

Even though I haven't used your mods. Still take a breather.

[hoary lava]

That's one of the reasons I stopped pushing to Reddit. I was getting flooded with others ideas.

and hate.

[twin atlas]

I was open to requests for themes, like what type of items, now its "add random item 3456". What use is a cable on the floor, for 13000 users?

[hoary lava]

Yeah for sure, what you do is very niche and people want more. I can see this being an issue.

[hoary lava]

I see your name all over reddit haha... even in loadout pics!

[valid gulch]

As those people need to breath and take a chill pill.

[twin atlas]

Ive restarted the same mod like 5 times now, trying to put items everyone would want.

[hoary lava]

For sure, but people sometimes forget the human behind the machine. You know?

[valid gulch]

Yea and that is what is disappointing in behavior of entitlements.

[hoary lava]

I work on no schedule other than my own, and it does kinda get to me at times because I feel like I might fall out of relevancy. That thinking simply is false though. Work when you can, the longer they wait the more people will love it if it is worth the wait. Don't rush, you'll burn out or the quality will start to degrade or both.

[raw viper]

One question for you creators.. why don't you charge for your mods?

[valid gulch]

But also in mix of things is games get hot fixes or updates

[limber current]

Because some of them aren't verified.

[raw viper]

I wouldn't mind supporting your work 👌

[raw viper]

Is it hard to get verified?

[limber current]

Tankgirl has some amazing mods that I would recommend to try they usually cost like 500-700 credits not bad for the amount of care put into it

[valid gulch]

Those whom are charging on mods also get more unpleasant people who don't like that

[mortal marlin]

Some modders prefer to keep modding as a hobby.

[limber current]

I'm not to sure but I know one creator quit making mods because they didn't get verified even after having a lot of downloads

[raw viper]

Can't find this creator

[limber current]

Search up luxury homes in creations I can't link her page rn my phone is acting wonky

Also she has a second version of that mod coming out soon with so much more content then the first

[twin atlas]

I don't really know what Bethesda looks for in its VC creators, I fully support SOME paid mods. I believe, the Quality and Quantity should be worth the price. As one Author once said, the amount you get in the mod should be 3x that of the price you get.

[limber current]

Exactly this. Some paid mods are kinda Eh

[raw viper]

Maybe you guys can help me out, does my load order look OK now?

[misty geyser]

As one Author once said, the amount you get in the mod should be 3x that of the price you get.
So how does one quantify that you're getting 3x the content for the price?

[rapid cliff]

@twin atlas Coming from a fan, I’m playing a no mod playthrough right now and I miss your stuff so much. No way I’m anything other than appreciative of the work you and all modders do. And remember for every one person complaining or constantly requesting, there are many loving what you’ve done and enjoying it.

[raw viper]

I removed the 200 crew thing ..

[twin atlas]

Im hoping that Bethesda implements the Achievement friendly option to VC Authors so we can bring Fun mods to the base game.

[valid gulch]

Fun part the cheat terminal cuts down number mods I can have lol one being crew 200.

[sharp lotus]

Some kind of verification program

[sharp lotus]

I think they should have a minimum requirement of idk something before the creator can set a price

[amber sparrow]

I mean the solution to most paid mods is just don't buy them if you aren't interested? Most are cheap. No one is forcing you to buy them.

[past tide]

"Everyone findin' debts funny until I roll up with 2 Commando Droids expecting them to cash up"

[amber sparrow]

Like how do you value something? How is a gun skin pack being sold for 3 whole smackers affecting your life? How do you say they should be 3x what they're worth?

[sharp lotus]

If a mod author puts a price on their mod then they put a price on their mod
You can argue with them they should remove the paywall but it’s up to the mod author and you if you want to pay

[amber sparrow]

I think the program is fine because most mods are reasonably priced

[raw viper]

One thing I miss is a load order app or mod or something 🤣

[amber sparrow]

The only thing I would say isn't is the Mariner hab

[raw viper]

True, even the free extender mod is better 😅

[limber current]

Have you tried this? Idk if I sent it to you be4

[twin atlas]

A single gun reskin shouldn't cost the same as a pack of 36 Houses. There should be a precedence.

[raw viper]

Thx, Ima save it, copy it, put a third copy in a safe 😁😁😁😁

[limber current]

Not the safe 💀 🤣

[sharp lotus]

Blessed be the free blackout skins

Also waiting on that Hells Gate mod from Kinggath

[raw viper]

I have enough digipicks 🤣

[twin atlas]

fav price free.99

[raw viper]

Matilija's aerospace should definitely be paid, that mod is huge and personally I love it

[valid gulch]

Especially how much download it is geez

[raw viper]

It takes more time to download then all the rest of my mods together 😅

[valid gulch]

Go bathroom, eat a meal, watch a sitcom

[twin atlas]

I once heard George RR Martin finished writing a series in the time it took to download it.

[raw viper]

Might be the reason of my glitching or my 194m behemoth made from it 🤣

[valid gulch]

2 weeks later and 70% completed lol

[limber current]

I agree with this. But I believe he said that he made this mod for himself and wanted to share with other people 🤍 definitely a great modder and he deserves the break he is currently taking

[dry coral]

@limber current taking a break? He's dropping another update tonight lol.

[raw viper]

Most definitely, I follow him on YouTube and he's been working on it a lot lately, many creators have bc of the update I've understood

[limber current]

I know but he said after this one he isn't updating for a few weeks and will be doing let's plays

[hidden fractal]

Anybody know why there isn't an option for the ap_avm_armor_skin?

[dry coral]

Ah, I didn't know that part lol.

[limber current]

You got them old man ears 😆 jk 😅

[hoary lava]

too small to see. What are you trying to do?

[hoary lava]

Yo, is that Fen's tutorial?

[hidden fractal]

ah sorry. I'm trying to add a skin to my standalone version of the Mark1. According to one guide I should add the ap_avm_armor_skin in the object window, but I don't have the option

[hidden fractal]

yeah 🙂

[hoary lava]

Nice. Let me look real quick.

[hoary lava]

Sorry, I had a bunch open. lol

[hidden fractal]

no thats alright 🙂 i appreciate you helping me!!

[hoary lava]

It should be there, under attach point.

[hidden fractal]

okay that's so weird. Is there an option in CK I should have turned on?

Because it's not there for me

[hoary lava]

What suit?

[hidden fractal]

my standalone version of the mark1

sorry to be so unclear... i'm new at this and just following different tutorials and trying things out. I was already very happy to see that my standalone was working (its the mark1 with the uc marine shoulder pallets)

I've created a texture for those pallets which I want to use. But I don't want them to affect the uc marine spacesuit.

I really don't want the standalone to be affected by any retexture for the mark1 or uc marine, but my knowledge is limited. So I thought if I add a skin for my standalone, I would be solving this problem

[hoary lava]

I have the option on mark1.

[hoary lava]

You want to be able to craft from workbench and not affect vanilla suit correct?

[hidden fractal]

I got the crafting from workbench working!

[solemn pier]

I wish to make a radio mod!
I know how I want it to come together, I have the music, and I have the voice for it.
I just don't have the technical knowledge to make it.

Is anyone interested in helping me make this?

[hoary lava]

You are looking to create a true skin, not a replacer.

[hidden fractal]

yeah!

[hoary lava]

Then following Fen's tutorial is what you are looking for.

There is no option to turn on ap_avm_weapon_skin to my knowledge. It should be there. Have you created AVMS lists?

[hidden fractal]

I did, but I'll guess I try again from the beginning to see if I went wrong somewhere
I created the standalone in Xedit, that shouldn't be a problem right?

[hoary lava]

Not if you have the plugin bridge to convert esm to esp and so forth.

[raw viper]

Am, fm or dab?

[solemn pier]

Like Fallout 3, 4, or NV

[hidden fractal]

Alright, well thanks Miiirty :)) I appreciate it alot! I'm gonna take another look at what went wrong

Hopefully soon I'll get it right haha

[hoary lava]

Check your dm, I sent you some info.

[solemn pier]

Anyway, radio mod.
If anyone's interested go ahead and send me a DM and we'll talk details

[lethal veldt]

the only way to create collisions is with 3ds max ?

[hoary lava]

Creating as of now requires 3ds max, SGB working on it. Now, collisions can technically be borrowed though via copying block node in Nifskope and pasting into custom asset. Although, assets need to be relative for this to work properly.

[lethal veldt]

yeah I know that I can use vanilla collisions but of course that's not the case for a completely custom asset, its sad because not everyone can have access to that software since its not really free, my licence expired a year ago lol, and blender is for sure more mod friendly and you can get some really cool addons , SGB is the goat for weapons and outfits tho

[hoary lava]

Can't find any object with one similar? Yeah, I dealt with this for a few days.

[lethal veldt]

Yeah, and I've seen some people trying to get new stuff even using 3ds max without success since there isn't an exporter either

to nif

[hoary lava]

Yeah, well there's the asset watcher that idk what the heck is wrong with it.

[dapper galleon]

Holy crap I have a theory as to why NPC's are turning invisible or clothes are being impacted

So in the Rev-8 update on ioisly Bethesda has to go in and change / add NPC character models to make the animations for getting in and out of the Rev-8.

Which I think is the root cause, but not a Bug in of itself, of why NPC will be missing body parts .

So if you have any mod that impacts the body, I think this Could potentially cause a conflict with the new body coding of the NPC. The more body mods/clothing mods you have the higher the chance. And since I have seen unmodded games also having this issue occasionally. It's probably just a conflict issue that could impact the game at random

[wraith mirage]

nice !

need glitter bomb now 🌈

[hoary lava]

I think somebody actually has that out lol.

I am probably 2 weeks out, sucks, but I took off 5 days.

[wraith mirage]

I would have liked some bioluminescent plants in pots perhaps with the dlc 🤔

[strong oak]

Sounds reasonable. and Joy What will happen on 30 SEP with the new DLC. hmm

[dapper galleon]

Oh yea, I'm definitely unit getting attached to this current universe, going to see how things go after DLC cus I'm sure that will break some stuff.

At this point I just use NG+ to fix the game.

I know that was a thing even before mods. I wonder if Bethesda new the game was going to have issues that would require essentially a clean slate method to clear out the issues and that's what the NG+ was made for. They just created a convenient in story method to clear the cache of the game lol.

[sharp lynx]

Hello, me being the author who gave that quote. You don't, you need to use your own critical thinking and basis to quantify what you think is 3x the value of what you're making and if you cant do that then that sucks lol.

The example I usually give is, I feel one of my homes in terms of usually scale, detail, artistic view and time spent should be "theoretically" worth at least 1 standard USD, so I make 3 houses to 1 to = what I think is 3x the value

And from what I see in most reviews is a consensus that my mods are worth the money they pay even those who are hard-stanced against paid mods. "Even tho I don't support paid mods, this does seem to be worth the price" Is their usual quote.

But this is only my own way of doing things, no one else has to follow this.

I just want to make stuff people love ❤️

@limber current @hoary lava Speaking of I need opinions

[limber current]

Ooh the legend has spoken 👀

Nah, I'd keep it two unless you're lacking in room.

[dapper galleon]

If anything add a basement that can be used as like a operations center.

Like there's the house then there is my Bat cave below the house style concrete tech features cave

I'm working on other projects right now, but if you care to look I have my Fallout 4 Radio Mod source code available here: https://www.psychfox.com/public_mods/source/ and you would want to start with https://www.psychfox.com/public_mods/source/RenRadioTestScriptVTwoRefCol.psc. Quick barebones setup is to put your radio forms inside a Reference Collection, attach the above script, make the appropriate messagebox forms, and then finally figure out which steps in the process I'm forgetting about. You will need to poke at the script to make sure all the properties are being filled in properly. I am planning on releasing a version for Starfield, but it's a back burner project right now.

hi peeps, question:

quest reward items

are they persistent in the world until you collect them, or do they spawn after a certain trigger in the quest?

or, is there a way for a item/leveled item to appear when the player reaches a certain level?

[dapper galleon]

That was possibly one of the last best fans they made.

I liked breakpoint for some stuff but overall Wild lands was like their peak then they just started to do things none of their playerbase wanted.

[dapper galleon]

I'm still waiting on the Spartan Locke armor and maybe some nano tech iron man stuff

Hi, tomorrow i release version 1.2 of my Mod, a preview is here https://youtu.be/Un5OT76cWRQ

[rain tide]

Anyone know how to alleviate the mod limit issues other than uninstalling mods? I’m seeming to hit a cap at around 105ish esm’s, primarily being I can’t land at major outposts like akila without the game freezing. Is my only way forward uninstalling mods?

[narrow isle]

sResourceDataDirsFinal=

what does this do? And it is it required for anything?

[hexed pilot]

I need help with a problem I've been having with scripting. I'm doing a mod where you can go to a Military Outpost in Jemison to drop off contraband in a legal way, to give it a use outside piracy and smuggling. However, I need to get past the issue of the scanning of your ship when entering Jemison's orbit.

I've tried to modify the quest related to the dialogue you have once contraband has been detected form orbit, but the quest stages don't include the option of removing your bounty and not confiscating your items, at most I can only let the player pay the fine but keep their items.

So to work around this, I tried to open up the script from the CK but it says that the fragment can't be loaded and the option to "edit" is grayed out. I could locate the fragment in the Scripts folder (once I had extracted it and added it to my Data folder), but the issue here is that I don't understand much of what is happening here, so any clarification of what's going on there would be really appreciated.

So my question is: Should I edit the script to add another fragment that adds the effect I want or is that not possible? Also, is there a way to make scripts visible from the CK? I know you can edit them from VS but I'd find it more convenient to just be able to edit and compile from the CK directly.

[autumn idol]

remove it ya don't need it

[wraith mirage]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-my-star-trek-gif-19129737

I m ready for the sims 5 👍

[dapper galleon]

I prefer something like the lodge. Basement concrete because it looks sturdy and a good base of operations

[dusky escarp]

In the CK, look under Gameplay > Papyrus Script Manager. However, it's not a good idea to edit the base game scripts because your mod will be incompatible with every other mod.

[hexed pilot]

Will try, thanks :D! I was thinking the same about editing base game scripts, is it also a problem if I add a new one and then archive it with the rest of the mod files? I mean, would that cause incompatibility issues as well?

[dusky escarp]

That would be better. Then there's less chance of incompatibility with other mods that rely on the base script being unchanged

[hexed pilot]

So can I copy what's inside the quest fragment script, paste it to a new one and then add it to the quest stage that I want?

[dusky escarp]

Er, not quite. The fragments for all stages of a quest are in the same script. What you can do is to add a new script to the quest and inside that put OnStageSet() events.

[upbeat furnace]

That last statement might be confusing if you've only been working with fragments. If you look on the very last tab of the quest record window, you will see a scripts tab. This is where you can attach full scripts rather than fragment scripts.

[thick plaza]

The creations mod section is so buggy, none of the sorting options work. The “Latest” section shows verified creator items from June

“Most popular” is some random mod uploaded in June

I use the one on bethesda's website and add mods to my library from there, it might not be the best solution but I works better 🤷

[hoary lava]

Latest is buggy, BGS is aware I believe.

[shell pelican]

Lol sorry bit late to this convo but wanted to say us here in Maine would be right there beside Texas. Florida and Alaska wouldn't hesitate to jump in too. But anyways yeah mods lol

[limber current]

I wouldn't doubt it as a Florida man my self 😅

[hexed pilot]

Got it, thanks for the help :>

[hexed pilot]

I was wondering what the script tab did, this clarifies it, thanks!

I am new to papyrus scripting, is there any good source of documentation?

[upbeat furnace]

Not really and the best we have is for FO4. https://falloutck.uesp.net/wiki/Category:Papyrus

[hexed pilot]

Oh well, trial and error it is then. I'll take a look through it, thank you

[upbeat furnace]

Ask questions often, it may spare you some pain.

[hexed pilot]

Well then maybe it'd be best if I describe what I want to do before spending hours on it only to realize it can't be done. I basically just want to add a new dialogue option for the sequence when you get caught with contraband in Jemison's orbit. I managed to add the dialogue option that skips getting sent to prison and getting your stuff confiscated, but I need to add a new script that does those things plus erasing your bounty (so that you don't have to pay each time you want to drop off contraband).

All of this is for a mod I'm making that adds a new military settlement to drop off contraband, so that "good guys" have something to do with contraband other than throwing it away.

[shell pelican]

Had a random problem with 2 mods, found the legendary mod recycler interferes with darkstar manufacturing when it is before DS.

Everything works like it should but if you manufacture the "antixeno X" labled armor (it's the version that already has legendary stats on it that you get in game from the quest), for whatever reason the legendary recycler mod stops the DS mod from allowing you to put legendary stats on armor pieces and the recycler takes over so you have to have the recyclers stat mods in your inventory to place them on the armors otherwise they are grayed out.

Disabling the recycler fixed the issue.

Figured I'd share if anyone ever runs into this issue.

[upbeat furnace]

It was suggested earlier to avoid editing the vanilla scripts, but its unavoidable in this case and also justifiable since you want to edit that system. In general you want to keep the footprint of vanilla edits as small as possible. Its really the Native flagged and Default scripts that you want to avoid editing. Scripts that are used in many places where a change would have wide sweeping and unintended changes. The more specific scripts that are used in one place are generally okay to edit.

I havent looked at the quests and scripts for that myself but it sounds like you want to edit the Scene tab of the quest to modify the dialogue that happens.

Yea. What your attempting is possible and reasonable.

[hexed pilot]

Yeah, so basically what I was doing at this point is using the fragment for stage 400 of the quest, this is the fragment in question.

[hexed pilot]

Nice 😄

The thing is that fragment 400 makes you pay whatever bounty you had, so it seems I'll have to add a new fragment (maybe call it 500 so it doesn't interfere with the rest?) and say that it only gives you clearance for landing, I think I've seen a function that does that called AllowLanding()

[hoary lava]

Oh, y'all are crazier than us, cut from the same cloth nonetheless.

[shell pelican]

Is it a bug to have Noel follow you around the lodge and never be quiet? Lol

[upbeat furnace]

Avoid editing the source of a script fragment directly. You should use the designer on the Quest record window under the Stages tab. If you have ever used Windows Forms its like the backing designer code. You should be able to insert new quest stages but avoid deleting existing ones. It might be the case that other quests/code could be expecting a stage to exist, but maybe not. It something to watch out for. You should also be able to modify existing stage code without trouble.

[wary arch]

Ok the only theory I have is Star Wars Aliens was updated and these are using outdated files

[hexed pilot]

I've created a new stage (500), and about modifying existing stages, the CK doesn't seem to be able to load the fragments nor it lets me create new scripts, is that something to do with the ini file?

I just get this when trying to create a new script (btw, I was creating a new script to add it to that "kmyQuest" part to see of it let me do anything)

[upbeat furnace]

Have you extracted the Tools\ContentResources.zip which contains all the script source code for the base game?
Extract to Starfield\Data\Scripts\Source\*.psc

The pre-compiled script PEX are distributed in the BA2 archives.
The retail game is not distributed with PSC source at all.

• PSC: Papyrus Source Code
• PAS: Papyrus Assembly
• PEX: Papyrus Executable

You need an INI setting to load loose files which include your newly compiled PEX which are read from Starfield\Data\Scripts\
CreationKitCustom.ini AND StarfieldCustom.ini

[Archive]

Basically there is a Quest.psc and the CK doesnt know where it is.

It needs to know the definition of Quest because your sub-typing it.

[hexed pilot]

:0 I forgot about that! I did extract the Content Resources but I did to my data folder, I didn't put the scripts inside Source. I didn't add that line to the custom ini for the CK either. And just to be sure, do I need to only place the .psc files inside the Source folder or can I place the Script folder directly?

[upbeat furnace]

You want the PSC source to reside in Starfield\Data\Scripts\Source\. There are further source sub directories that represent "namespaces" in source. Leave that directory structure intact, but move the whole thing some that Action.psc ends up at Starfield\Data\Scripts\Source\Action.psc.

Following that example, the PEX output for Action.psc would end up at Starfield\Data\Scripts\Action.pex. See how the source directory is nested inside the output directory? Its annoying but is what it is.

[hexed pilot]

So, like this you say? Also yeah I see how that can get confusing xd

[upbeat furnace]

Almost. The Starfield\Data\Source\TGATextures folder should NOT be inside the scripts folder. Yea! Its confusing too that there is a Data\Source folder but that has nothing to do with Papyrus scripts. Put the TGATextures folder back.

It should be like this. Ignore my non-standard setup and pretend its \Starfield\Data\Scripts\Source\

[hexed pilot]

Okay, so now the TGATextures folder is at Starfield\Data, that correct? or do I need another Source folder to put the TGATextures in? (sorry if this sounds dumb but I've been like 5 hours modding and my brain is like mush now Xdddd)

[upbeat furnace]

Its here all by it's lonesome.

[hexed pilot]

By the way, I was able to make a new script :D, thanks a million for all the help really.

[hexed pilot]

Got it, thanks again

[narrow isle]

This wont work if used in a fragment in a phase, however it works in the stage fragment, why?

I would like to run these commands in specific phases of a scene, not just in specific stages.

[upbeat furnace]

A Quest and a Scene are distinct objects even though the Quest UI makes it appears as a single object, though there is a parent/child relationship between them. Look at the Scene.psc source and find the member called GetOwningQuest().

From your fragment panel use this code.

Quest owner = GetOwningQuest()
owner.SetObjectiveDisplayed(5)

This could be simplified to a single line.

GetOwningQuest().SetObjectiveDisplayed(5)

The kmyQuest variable would work too.

[narrow isle]

Thanks that is very helpful. I wonder why i did not find a single example like this in the game. For example I was looking for quests that control stage setting from within phases, and it appears bethesda does not do that.

[short kite]

Anyone know if Enai is working on a Starfield perk overhaul?

[autumn idol]

he is just that issues of Life have come plus he have an Indie job

[short kite]

Sweet! Didn’t know if he was gonna do it at all. Great to hear, I’m sure it’ll be the goat

[narrow isle]

how does the game create these loops back onto the same topic?

oh its in the topic info

I dont see what causes the loopback

oh I found it

its in the topic info start scene

Is it possible to just make a mod for Xbox that fixes the problem with vehicle selection???

Cause from what I saw on reddit it's some type of mesh code that u can delete on pc but not xbox

So couldn't u just make a mod that bypasses that 1 line of code???

Built one last small ship before SS drops (and hopefully brings new modules).

[hexed pilot]

I'm struggling to see what I did wrong with this script. What it is supposed to do is erase the player's bounty with a certain crime faction when chosing a certain dialogue option. It is basically just the bounty removal part from the script of the Bounty Clearance Terminal, but it keeps displaying this error in the console.

Okay, I had to redo the script from the beggining and now it compiles. The problem is that now, the script does nothing, the bounty isn't cleared, is there any function I'm missing?

[quaint tartan]

My guess would be that you don't have crimeFaction Property set up correctly. Your Papyrus log will likely indicate that it can't call SetCrimeGold on a None variable.

[misty geyser]

If this is a script for Skyrim, take the "Const" part out. That keyword doesn't exist in Skyrim.

[quaint tartan]

You could remove the need for the property entirely by doing something like this:
Event OnInit()
Faction playercrimefaction = Game.GetPlayer().GetCrimeFaction()
if (playercrimefaction != none)
playercrimefaction.SetCrimeGold(0)
playercrimefaction.SetCrimeGoldViolent(0)
playercrimefaction.SetPlayerEnemy(false)
endif
endEvent

[hexed pilot]

Okay I figured it out, I just had to compile the script and then archive it 😄 (I totally didn't spend 45 minutes entering and exiting Starfield trying to debug this little script)

[hexed pilot]

It's for Starfield, but it's good to know that, if I ever do any Skyrim mods

[sleek cliff]

So, what’s going on with the Starborn Gunslinger armor? I paid for the island mod but only the head and arms are visible and the body is invisible?

This is a scene where the player meets barrett the first time. Are these lines played in sequence or are they randomly picked?

Because I want to know if each new line has to be a new phase or if multiple lines can be put into the same phase?

[west lichen]

I played this scene recently and by memory I'd say they're played in sequence

[narrow isle]

I just checked a youtube video and it does play in sequence. I was worried I would have to create a phase ofr every line

It’s sad that Jurassic park is cannon and nobody has made any lore friendly mods involving Jurassic park merch.

[west lichen]

ummm what, how is it canon?

Yes I did bite despite your username

[ember nova]

Somewhere out in the world is apparently a Jurassic park VHS tape.

[west lichen]

OK so if you are right, the existence of Jurassic Park as a fiction is canon in Starfield. It doesn't make the existence of a Jurassic Park, the actual park itself, canon.

[ember nova]

Yeah, I’m saying the movie is apparently cannon

[west lichen]

I'm not confident that when people left Earth, they took Universal Pictures with them

[ember nova]

Who knows

[west lichen]

So I don't see much lore-friendly reason to have JP merch in Starfield unless some crazy dude find a way to create a VHS tape player and decided to actually create the park. If people don't know what JP is, why would they even buy JP hats?

[ember nova]

It wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility? We find all kinds of old earth junk laying around in certain towns, I’m sure somebody out there has seen it, I mean, even the woman who’s obsessed with old earth books says that there’s still films, maybe somebody remastered the film or something? Who knows honestly

If nothing else, it’ll make a fun mod for someone to try and make.

[west lichen]

Definitely. You should go for it and make a Jurassic World. I know I'd download it.

[ember nova]

Oh I’d love to, sadly I am on console.

Otherwise every other mod I’d make would have some sort of Jurassic park/world reference.

[dry coral]

Built a few glass habs last night and see that they still suffer from foggy, overly bright lights in the interior.

[limber current]

This. I always have this issue and it's frustrating because I want to actually be able to see the outside of the habs at night and I can't unless I'm super close to the windows

[dry coral]

I see that there is a recent mod out for exterior lighting but I can't find anything for inside.

Too bad we couldn't just omit or turn off the overhead lights. I build glass habs solely to be able to see the scenery outside.

[quaint tartan]

https://psychfox.com/LightsModVideo3.mp4 - Did someone say interior lighting mod? 😄

[narrow isle]

whats the best way to check if an NPC has arrived at a specific marker? I want a stage be set only when an npc has arrived there (he uses a packge to move there)

[dry coral]

@quaint tartan That's pretty sweet, is it available on Creations?

[quaint tartan]

Not quite yet, I'm still working on speeding up performance.

[dry coral]

Ah, alright. I look forward to seeing when it's ready 😄

It would also make for pretty awesome clubroom lighting at an outoutpost

[limber current]

Wow 🤩 so beautiful

[quaint tartan]

In the video the colors are pretty random, upon release I'll have setup allowing the player to change light colors

[rain tide]

Is there a console command I can use to ADD a bounty to a faction in order to make them hostile?

[upbeat furnace]

Maybe a trigger volume that has and on trigger enter event that checks if the entering NPC is the one you care about, then set the stage.

[upbeat furnace]

Skip the 0x notation. You can also use the FIND command to takes an editor ID and gives you the form ID to use

HELP and FIND are different commands. In papyrus you would use a Property

Does anyone have any idea why these Blender cubes aren't exporting / importing correctly? It works fine with the objects I import from Starfield, and even other shapes are okay, but the cube shape only shows up as actual cubes, not the right size when importing into NifSkope.

[thick plaza]

look at what you're doing in blender

[oak plinth]

Isn't that what most people are using for 3d Modeling? This is just a simple shape, to test the waters, but I plan to get more complex models.

Oops, I read your response wrong.

I'm just using the cube mesh, then resizing it. I tried a torus, and it exported fine.

[oak plinth]

I've also been having the issue where Creation Kit will just stop working. Won't launch. The only way I could fix it the other day was to uninstall, then re-install everything. I really want to get into moding, but I have had one challenge after another, and I have forgotten all things PC since switching over to a mac 20+ years ago.

[hoary lava]

What are you trying to do? What are the export settings? Are you exporting scene, or just object? What blender version?

[oak plinth]

Just exporting an object. Latest Blender (just installed a couple days ago). I am making a double high hab, and left a little space between the top/bottom, and wanted to fill it in with that box. The habs exported fine, but that box was super tall. So I just did a simple file, created a box, and tried to export (using NifSkope plugin) then when I imported the filed, that's what I got.

[hoary lava]

Download a version below 4.0. 4.0 and above doesn't work well with SGB. @oak plinth

Little glitches, little issues.

[drifting haven]

I think it would be great to see a mod where players could take out an enemy ship, then salvage ship modules that were not destroyed. Those modules could be sold or used in ShipBuilder (without cost because you already have it). Perhaps a new skill for ship salvage based on the ship class/difficulty of various modules.

[hoary lava]

I use 3.5 or 3.6

[oak plinth]

I will give that a shot. Thanks. Downloading 3.6 now

Theoretically, if I am working on a mod, can I just copy the file somewhere as a backup. I did that the other day to try before uninstalling the game & creation kit, but when I copied the files back, they were unreadable. My creation kit has yet again stopped working, and I have tried all the fixes I could find, and it still won't, so I was going to just uninstall / reinstall again, but didn't want to lose my mod again.

[hoary lava]

If it's saved as an esp/esm just move the esp/esm and .ba2 out of /data and back in.

[oak plinth]

I don't have a .ba2 file, just the esp file

[hoary lava]

Before you uninstall make sure your creationkitcustom.ini looks good and is present in starfield main.

[oak plinth]

I don't have a creationkitcustom.ini file either. I have copied everything from Steam over to my Xbox/Starfield folder.

[hoary lava]

Creationkitcustom.ini is something you make when installing ck. If you didn't, Google it, might fix your issue.

[oak plinth]

Okay, will do

[oak plinth]

You are in fact the man! That worked. The CreationKitCustom.ini fixed the issue.

[iron olive]

What is the recommended way to deal with mod conflicts? I have several dozen mods installed and wanted to create a patch which will resolve conflicts in them. Unfortunately, xEdit refuses to save a file if any of its master-files are not full-masters themselves. And obviously a lot of mods are light-weighted. From my understanding, CK doesn't show any conflicts, it just applies the value from the lowest mod in load order, just as the game does. So what do I do?

[solemn pier]

Hey, still looking for someone to help me put together a radio mod.

DM me and we can discuss details

[uncut sandal]

I really suggest you read this -- It will open your eyes as to why your mods are playing up once you get above a certain amount -- #1275560245510275093 message

TL;DR this game for the time being needs to be "min-modded" because mods are using the available plugin limit very very quickly.

[iron olive]

yes, I am aware of it since June. It doesn't answer my question regarding mod conflicts in the slightest though.

[silver dagger]

If you resized the cubes by changing the scale, note that separate X, Y, Z scale is not exported in NIF format (that is why the shapes remain cubes), and the last time I checked, the geometry bridge plugin had bugs related to scaling (it incorrectly also applied the scale to the rotation matrix, effectively squaring the scale factor). You could also try exporting in glTF format instead of using the plugin, although the NIF limitation of no separate scale factors per axis still remains.

[oak plinth]

Ah, that’s good to know. I was looking for a way to ‘explode’ the items so they had no association with the original meshes. I can’t get the bridge plugin to work, and have been exporting as glTFs. Thanks for the info, it gives me some to direction to find a fix.

[lethal veldt]

anyone knows how to create custom collisions with 3ds max ?

[latent ravine]

Is this load order good? (Xbox)

Also, could someone recommend some graphical improvement mods?

[autumn idol]

somebody in Starfield Geometry Bridge server can help ya

[proud forum]

https://modding.wiki/en/starfield/developers/tutorials/add-collisions-with-3ds-max-2021

I'm not sure if someone's done a tutorial on setting up Asset Watcher, which is the tool that actually converts the mesh to nif.

You'll need to have it open and your settings configured to watch the folder you're exporting to.

[lethal veldt]

ohh thank you

[narrow hare]

Idk where else to ask this, seems like an appropriate place, if not, I apologise and I can resend/delete.

No matter, what I do, I can't get ship vendor framework to work, does it conflict with any of the other ship building mods, matilija's, derretech legacy and derretech, avontech etc?

[autumn idol]

those shouldn't

[narrow hare]

Hm..

Ok thanks. Like if I have ship vendor framework installed, and go and say talk to the NA ship tech, and ask about ships for sale, he says his usual line, something like "take a look at what i got" or whatever it is, y'know the line. But then the ship menu doesn't open.

should I just skip to the unity and jump through?

And then perhaps in NG+ it'll all work right?

[narrow isle]

I copied a trigger form another location that I placed and this one would work, and I am not sure why, the aliases all appear to be set correctly

[narrow isle]

I learned that if you scroll to the right on the object list it shows the form id. Thanks for the advice on skipping the 0x

[narrow hare]

well fixed it somehow, removed a bunch of mods lowering my total to 100 and suddenly works

whether it was counts or conflicts idk.

[autumn idol]

thats the modindex isseue

its not cause of your mods its due to a engine bug on bethesda end

[narrow hare]

guessing no way round it? just gotta disable if i want to add others?

as in disable other mods

[autumn idol]

yes

[narrow hare]

alr, and i'm assuming no way to like merge mods to combat that issue? like combining two mods into one to lower the count?
And will the engine bug ever be fixed/planned to be fixed? (just curious)

[autumn idol]

it will ETA = unkown

hopefully around shattered space...

[narrow hare]

and assuming combining mods is out of the question? No merge like you could do with fallout or skyrim? (if that was ever even a thing)

[autumn idol]

you can merge

just pray to todd that it reduces the count

[narrow hare]

Also I'm assuming that the green here, can be whatever right, but the red has to stay at 100?

as long as the total plugins stays below 100, then it doesn't matter what the value of the greens are?

Perhaps just better waiting until shattered space then doing it again with updated mods and a hopefully fixed limit?

[narrow hare]

How would I go about doing that?

[autumn idol]

with xedit

[narrow hare]

oh ok

[narrow hare]

assuming very complicated?/easier ot just wait for bethesda to hopefully fix it?

[autumn idol]

you can find a guide for skyrim very simple

[narrow hare]

alright, and as per my image above, would i be right in that? (as long as total is 100/less the others can be any value?) like how fallout has light plugins which don't contribute? or doesn't work like that with starfield?

[autumn idol]

its the same but SF doeesn't support merging light/medium plugins

[narrow hare]

what do you mean by merging light/medium?
i'm not going to merge through xedit or whatever, (if that's what you are referring to) but like as long as total plugins stays at 100 it won't matter?
Like fallout 4's 254 or whatever?

[dapper galleon]

I wonder since it's a bug, if they will be fixing that anytime soon

[autumn idol]

the head mod manager here announched it

[dapper galleon]

So someone from Bethesda, I assume?

I'm having an issue creating two separate planet overhauls. One modifies Jupiter's moons and the other changes biomes on a moon of Bardeen. They both seem to cancel each other out if one is loaded after the other despite being in separate parts of the galaxy and neither use the same biomes (i'm mainly using custom biomes.)

I'm using other planet overhauls with no issue

tried different master types, cleaning in xEdit, copying records into new ESM and no luck

Preview of my current project, which is also the first time I've done 3D modeling that isn't TinkerCad:

[narrow hare]

anyone know why this would randomly be happening? just out of the blue

[amber sparrow]

Do you mean the helmet or?

I don't see what the problem is besides the helmet but I also know that's a mod that you probably forgot you installed

[narrow hare]

the fact that they're randomly wearing spacesuits in settlements, this is in the middle of MAST in NA.

i worked around it by opening their inventory and giving them the appropriate clothing items, but it did it randomly for some reason. I installed a mod that changed their clothes but that shouldn't have given them space suits.

anyways, I worked around it. So, should be fine. I hope

[amber sparrow]

It's most likely the mod that changed their clothes messed it up, mods can easily break stuff because of incorrect coding or just incompatibilities

So it's you could have two mods that aren't interacting well with each other or something just broke

Especially if it's a mod you installed mid-playthrough, though that one is a rarity. What I'd do is test mods by enabling and disabling one by one or letting the mod author know with your load order attached.

[narrow hare]

Hm. It was fine before. anyways, I'll leave it for now as it seems to be ok now, but if it does it again, in the next playthrough, I'll troubleshoot, cus i think if i was to start a NG+ that is effectively like fresh (in regards to the mods loading right)

cus i've done a lot of switcheroo during this playthrough so who knows what else is glitched

[amber sparrow]

Yea a NG+ as far as I understand it is essentially akin to starting a new game

So often just going straight for it will fix issues, I know it has for me

[narrow hare]

eh, i'll do that, if anything breaks the main story lol
