bout tree fiddy

[normal steeple]

There are enough far and wide that VASCO can perform stealth missions

[untold field]

Lol

[jolly torrent]

@sharp lynx Hey Fren!!!!!

[untold field]

Never thought about that.

Starfield has ventilation halls rather than shafts

[mental estuary]

hey maintenance crews protested alot for those

[jolly torrent]

You’re funny, dawg. Lol

[mental estuary]

i know, imagine someone in charge actually giving workers what they want xD

or using more money to make a safe and comfortable work environment :3

[untold field]

Wait, workers dont want to be fired all the time after the company is making big time profits?

But its for the good of the CEOs! Think about them poor CEOs!

[mental estuary]

nah the older employees hours are just cut to almost nothing so CEOs could get their huge end of year bonus

then given pizza for their 15 minute break (if everyone pitches in to buy it)

[dusk steeple]

Enough to be a HL remake

[gentle bluff]

Thank you I will watch it when I get home ive been looking everywhere.

[boreal osprey]

I've thought about that a lot. Just gotta wait for those animation tools....... 😆

[restive yoke]

Prone and crouch should both be a thing. Starfield should embrace it's immersive simmyness and make vent crawling a first class citizen

You have 95% of the tech to remake deus ex in this game

[jolly torrent]

@surreal storm Thank you!!!!!

[boreal osprey]

It's kinda my plan. I have a list for a big overhaul project. Most of it is going to be lore/quests and adding assets (weapons, vehicles, gadget's, etc). I always keep an eye out for free mods to add to the project. Going to be a whole new game when I'm done 🤙

[mental estuary]

i will wait for the day when they remake the fallout wasteland on earth

[boreal osprey]

If you could reuse assets, I can see that happening. If not, that would be a massive undertaking.

[mental estuary]

true

we can dream though

get fallout 5 in starfield before fallout 5 xD the meme would write itself

[jolly torrent]

That’s funny.

Some of yol really need to be in stand up comedy fr.

[sharp lynx]

funny you say that

[sleek cliff]

[true igloo]

Little teaser for an upcoming VIGILANCE update

[sleek cliff]

Holy Hell! A tortilla!

Oh wait, never mind, it’s a guardian.

[cyan cedar]

I'm trying to make a modded outfit where I use a vanilla model to replace a different outfit using custom textures. Right now it seems I'm getting close to getting it working, but the game just renders what I changed completely glossy black. In the creation kit and nifskope I see the correct custom colors and everything, so I think something is going wrong in the game engine itself? I copied the original .nif from the original outfit, copied the .mat from the outfit that will be replaced and changed the paths to my custom textures. In the .nif I changed the path of the .mat to my custom one and saved the .nif. Then in the creation kit I pointed the ArmorAddon of the upperbody part to my custom .nif in the biped model option and pointed the .morph to the original one of the original outfit. Is there anyone able and willing to assist me here?

[lyric finch]

:0 you have my attention

[timid temple]

you need to be running the mod from your esm, with the textures/materials/etc packed into their respective archives

(this gets painful during testing, but otherwise your edits won't show up)

[tender stump]

sir you can't park that here

[lyric finch]

@viscid olive is there a Falkland hab that has all crafting benches in it? Or at least armour, weapons and industrial

[slim sun]

I believe that means the game found your materials, but can't find the textures, so they're likely in the wrong place. Same happened to me a while back, I ended up with this accidental shiny black latex catsuit
If you're testing, while loose materials will get picked up in the game directory, textures won't. They need to go in your Documents\My Games\Starfield\Data.

[tender stump]

I mean if you released that shiny black catsuit you'd get thousands of plays, I can think of at least two streamers who'd be using it by the weekend.

[sleek cliff]

same

[cyan cedar]

lmao i feel dumb, I was putting my textures etc. in the game install folder because I thought I remembered that was how it worked. Put everything in the my games folder and it works. Now onto the manual labour of changing all those paths again... Thanks for the quick help @slim sun and @timid temple !

[tender stump]

Unexpected Star Trek is always appreciated

[timid temple]

I think every modder has done that at some point, if they're making new skins/materials/etc

[sleek cliff]

I mean, make the pants blue jeans, the jacket brown like a leather jacket and the shoes black an option and ain’t NO ONE ever gon see me move as fast to download this again.

[viscid olive]

The closest hab is gonna be the 2x1 armory with both weapons and spacesuit bench. Industrial benches are in the engineering and reactor habs. I do have plans for a workshop hab with all three but it’s lowest on the priority list atm

[lyric finch]

Sounds good 😊

[true igloo]

[sleek cliff]

[lyric finch]

Oh I just did something cruel with the ship tamper mod

[tender stump]

that's the entire point of the mod 😄

[lyric finch]

Boarded an ecliptic ship, stunned them all with the Ol' Novablast then tamper and leave

[sleek cliff]

[hollow salmon]

@hearty egret I was wondering will you make a patch for the Matilija Aerospace= Achievement friendly patch for TN's AIO ?

[tender stump]

probably not, since that isn't @river valley 😄

[river valley]

I'm not sure what would be the point. If you care about the AF status, then you wouldn't be using a patch, which isn't AF.

Plus my All in One isn't AF either, and cannot be AF. It has a dependency, and any paid mod (even AF ones) cannot have dependencies.

[tender stump]

And Matilija has committed that the free and AF will always be in parity.

[boreal osprey]

I don't remember, is there a solution/tool for Blender to create custom collisions for meshes? Or is that still an impossible thing?

[jolly torrent]

I’m going to be away from my Starfield for a week. 😭

I hate this time of the year. Help me somebody!!!

[tender stump]

ROG Xbox Ally?

[gloomy jolt]

Hey guys, does anyone have a guide about installing mods?

I have never installed mods before

[onyx fiber]

https://tenor.com/view/pig-big-piggy-meeboo-piggster-piggy-gif-18353973

[gloomy jolt]

and can anyone recommend me some good mods

@onyx fiber you are here too!!! aaah

[onyx fiber]

Nexus mods and using Vortex keeps it simple

[restive yoke]

Please be more specific than the pacific because it makes recommendations so much easier when we have at least some idea of what you want.

There’s too much otherwise 😅

[gloomy jolt]

anything that improves the game, I was also looking for more uniquely generated POIs and having more enemy encounters, more frequently

[restive yoke]

Improves is the key problem cause it could mean anything and people’s definition of improve can be controversial.

More enemy variety is better, check out bedlam as a base to start with.

If you’re willing to pay forgotten frontiers 1 & 2 are the gold standard in adding full POI dungeons.

[strong oak]

Are you Xbox or Desktop ?

One mod I find useful is this and it has settings adjuster: https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/ef67421a-82a6-429c-b5c9-004ce48c6b03/POI_Variations___No_More_Duplicates

There are a long list of poi but Until I used this it was like the same ones all over the place.

[gloomy jolt]

oh that sounds interesting

I'm on desktop @strong oak

[restive yoke]

Yeah there's 2 techniques. POI Variations to get the vanilla ones not repeating or use forgotten frontiers and other mods to dilute the pool

[strong oak]

There is a Nexus version also of that mod

[gloomy jolt]

so when I do this, it says installing for an hour and nothing happens

brb

[restive yoke]

How much do you want to install? because if your only installing a couple dozen things just use creations and i say that as a veteran

[strong oak]

The problem for this is there are so many Mods in use now. Over 1700+ and growing.

[gloomy jolt]

I wanna install a few things at first then add more things as I go along

[strong oak]

I suggest if you can install via Creations. This moves the mod file to a Creations location. But works fine.

[gloomy jolt]

okay it worked

[gloomy jolt]

I would love to buy these mods, I assume I can buy them from nexus mods?

[restive yoke]

No, Only bethesdas creations.

[strong oak]

Nexus is free

[gloomy jolt]

okay, if I use both creations and vortex would the game glitch out?

[strong oak]

Many on Creations / Bethesda are free too.

[restive yoke]

Vortex handles both fine

The Bethesda creations just aren't listed as mods

Make sure to do due diligence looking at any payed creations, channels like starfield essentials have great reviews.

There's some poor quality content, but also some excellent quest content (e.g. milkartist & AlmightySE)

[gloomy jolt]

oh adding more quests through mods will be amazing too

my first playthrough I almost maxed out my stats through crafting lol

this time around I started a new game and wanted to add some mods

[restive yoke]

Starfield has IMO the best quests available but they're unfortunately mostly paid.

[gloomy jolt]

are all the good quality mods through Bethesda creations?

[strong oak]

The Crafting and Outpost stats are a pain to max out. I was happy to get them over with.

[gloomy jolt]

@strong oak man I wish they did something better with outposts

I really enjoyed Fallout 4 outposts more

[restive yoke]

Creations is more popular, there's a ton of great free stuff uploaded on both. See the free version of real fuel (do recommend all of s1derons gameplay mods) on both nexus and creations.

[strong oak]

Oh there are excellent mods in Both Nexus and Creations. I like everything that Inquisitor has made. He has a few Quest mods that gain you gear, very useful. Also modification for use on your weapons at the workbench.

One mod I use of Inquisitor adds a watch with Starborn powers at the end of the Ryujin quest line.

[autumn idol]

Pretty much and it kindof sucks

We have the SW conversion and thats it

There are others but its not a lot

[restive yoke]

I mean it’s a double edged sword the quantity of quality content is on par with fallout 4 already

Starfield punching above its weight if you willing to pay about a coffee for the content.

[obtuse stag]

Don't use vortex, it uses loot to sort which is an incredibly problematic broken way to do (nexus has hired a mo2 dev to make their new manager so even they are abandoning it), use mo2

[toxic pike]

So the Ryujin missionboard missions are pretty weak, but they could at least have more diversity. I have a Ryujin mission upgrade I would like to release this week. It will give you the option of more missions overall, and due to how I am changing the location selection it will select mission locations that you previously saw very rarely. I will also release one patch with it that will add three of the mini missions (hack, sabotage, plant evidence) to Falkland's offices. Possibly can do patches for other vanilla locations or locations added in other mods (open to suggestions). It'll be pretty easy to add in other locations to missions.

I need a tester or two on PC who is near or already past the Ryujin main quest so they can test the missionboard.

Just DM me if interested in testing on PC

[gloomy jolt]

are the quest mods that cheap?

[restive yoke]

As an Australian yeah but that comparison depends on locality I guess

[gloomy jolt]

my brother! I'm from Canada, so our currencies are almost the same value

[restive yoke]

Are coffee’s going for $5? We only really do espresso at cafes

[gloomy jolt]

you can find extra large coffees for 2. something dollars

but Starbucks, yeah 5-10 dollars

coffee is usually really cheap here from Tim Hortons or McDonalds

but the quest mods you mention are from creation club right?

[restive yoke]

TheMilkArtist or AlmightySe are 2 authors to look at

(That I’ve played)

Codos crater was really good 2-3 hours

[gloomy jolt]

thank you! I'm gonna install mods that have enemies show up more frequently

in the future I will also mod Fallout 4, according to steam it's my most played Bethesda game lol

[icy bramble]

Nice one, Cyber. Thank you a lot

[lyric finch]

Anyone with Vigilance able to modify the armour mods of the Pointman suit?

[sleek cliff]

I wonder if we’ll get new skins in the Vigilance Update.

Green Armor, Gold Visor and a black undersuit would go HARD

[random hound]

@sharp lynx You made the "garden" mod? Might you want to make a pet mod? Caring for a puppy and when moving thought the unity, its a big dog, totaly happy seeing you again?

[true igloo]

Check to make sure it's up to date. Initial release was missing the ability to modify a couple of variants

[lyric finch]

Oh didn't know there was an update I'll try that now

@true igloo I do have a question though

The big laser on the top of the mountain at Gamma site. What's it do?

[true igloo]

Just a cool setpiece

You can do a test fire with it

[lyric finch]

It is cool I like to think firing it creates carnage for a Vigilance clean up team to come to gamma site

Wasn't sure if I missed anything with it is all

[sleek cliff]

I have a question @true igloo will we be getting any new skins for the armors?

[true igloo]

[sleek cliff]

🙌

[lyric finch]

That's iconic

[sleek cliff]

Kind of reminds me of Jun.

Gonna need to run a Sniper Only build.

[swift mesa]

what did we get today?

[tender stump]

a holiday

[lyric finch]

Outrageous

[sleek cliff]

Literally nothing, BGS are on Todd’s private island laughing at us

[obtuse stag]

I sincerely hope thats a joke, the devs deserve to have a holiday break with their families same as anyone else

[swift mesa]

Sometimes I forget people celebrate the holidays

What is celebrated today?

[sleek cliff]

I already celebrated my Christmas, so these next two days are just days to me.

[sleek cliff]

Nothing, but tomorrow is Christmas Eve.

[swift mesa]

3 days is crazy

[sleek cliff]

Eh, more like 2

[obtuse stag]

No its not, even in the air force we were given a full week off

[swift mesa]

A whole week of Xmas?

I only know eve, first and second

[sleek cliff]

Eve and Day

[obtuse stag]

A whole week for the holidays, its not literally celebrating christmas the whole time

[swift mesa]

In spain there are two xmas days I think

Idk I'm not christian 😭👍 idk the full lore

[obtuse stag]

Its getting rewarded for a long year of hard work to spend time with your loved ones

[sleek cliff]

I don’t know how your side of Hispanics celebrate navidad, but us Salvadorans celebrate the 24th

[swift mesa]

Yes I said in spain not in america

Spain has like 14 national holidays and then 20 extra days you can take off whenever so I guess they have 2 xmas days just to add more national holidays 😭👍

I think we have 15 bc catalonia day

[sleek cliff]

By the way, are you a Spaniard Hispanic?

[swift mesa]

I'm catalan

[sleek cliff]

Ah, okay.

The 4th cousin to other Hispanic groups.

Although, to be fair, Salvadorans ain’t exactly great, we got the short end of the stick when y’all came and stole our gold and women.

THAT SAID, I found a boat home player home

[swift mesa]

Dw we hate the spanish as much as you do

The one from shep?

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/secret-handshake-trouble-origins-hug-bro-gif-17702863

I’ll need to check, but maybe.

Nothing but fantastic work to Nem and Tank for their homes but I’m a very minimalist for my houses, somewhere that’s cozy.

[sharp lynx]

you have a whole garage lol

[true jasper]

For those who wants the Landing animations to always play. Here's a new mod that you can grab. It's available both on Nexus and Creations for PC and Xbox.

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/15742

[nimble latch]

Honestly would rather someone made an SFSE plugin to address this rather than overwriting map markers

[sleek cliff]

And I LOVE that garage.

If only I had more posters to hang in there

[sharp lynx]

holy molly

they overwrote all the map markers

I would've made an overmap model "GO" for all of the outfits by now, but sadly applying them would require overwriting all of the vanilla outfits and that's just sad.

not fesable.

[true jasper]

I really wish there was a better way. Simply prevent any map markers from being explored. That's it. But this is the only way I can get it to work seamlessly to the current existing markers that we have in the game.

[untold field]

Honestly, I would prefer a mod that replaces the go model with a render of the menu character preview in the workbenches.

The current preview is completely useless as you dont see any changes to outfits (like skins)

[sharp lynx]

you'd see changes on a GO

[sharp lynx]

that creates even bigger issues lol cause what's displayed on the menu is the world object

[sharp lynx]

makes sense

[untold field]

Wdym? I mean the full character preview when you enter the menu

[sharp lynx]

you have to make the full character the outfits drop item LOL

[untold field]

Nah I don't want the world item to change, I want the workbench preview to be handled differently.

[sharp lynx]

impossible

it uses the world item

[untold field]

Everything was impossible until someone made it possible.

[toxic pike]

You'd have to somehow splice the workbench menu to the inventory preview

Don't know if that's possible

[tender stump]

This is word for word what a developer once said to me when he was asking me to increase the speed of light in fiber by 1000%. and I'm not joking.

[untold field]

And, did you do it?

[tender stump]

Sue your physics teacher.

[untold field]

I will, after I am done suing my math teacher

LOL

[sleek cliff]

NO WAY, it looks exactly like it!

That is AWESOME

[sharp lynx]

I was like... That's funny lol

What are the odds

[sleek cliff]

Enough it seems, man, that is a KICK and that guitar is gorgeous

[sour steppe]

I use to have a bass that looked like this. Only difference was the blue was a candy apple red.

[sharp lynx]

[sleek cliff]

I used to have an orange Fender Jaguar I would play even though I SUCKED at it.

That looks bangin’

We’re never gonna fade away with this one 🗣️ 🗣️

[sharp lynx]

I think I can make a better speaker tho

I'll probably model a new one

[sour steppe]

https://tenor.com/view/hair-flip-rock-band-head-bang-rock-and-roll-gif-16466533

[sharp lynx]

LOL death clock

[sleek cliff]

Looks great, but could use more knobs

Every loves adjustment knobs

[sharp lynx]

It's the base games speaker which... Isn't a speaker

I made the amp tho

[sleek cliff]

Now we are TALKING

Gonna piss off my neighbors with that one.

[sharp lynx]

I may even make a drum set

[sleek cliff]

🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

That would be pretty sick.

It’s funny how few musical instruments or items period there are in Starfield

[sharp lynx]

I guess that'll change lol

[sleek cliff]

My place is onna look so cool.

[lyric finch]

Any assault rifle recommendations? I try to keep to a limited number of added weapons and been using the Atom 74 but thinking a change

[neat crow]

Happy holidays!!

[lyric finch]

🎄

[strong oak]

🎄 🎉

[lyric finch]

Is there a way to remove that Prometheus Regeneration buff from Vigilance? Made it so I literally can't take any damage cause I outheal it too quickly :/ and really don't wanna start a new character to get around it

[gloomy jolt]

what is the mod called for more frequent enemy encounters?

[strong oak]

Faction's & Encounter's Expanded by The_Wulfy and the SFSV - Faction's & Encounte's Expanded by The_Wulfy both on Creations. Mech Enemies by radiclown.

[hollow salmon]

Merry Christmas everyone

[toxic pike]

@gloomy jolt Factions and Encounters doesn't add more frequent encounters it just adds different enemies to a lot of vanilla POIs. It's really cool though and I put up patches that patch them into more POIs from mods.

[toxic pike]

I'm using the compact Ryujin assault rifle. It's pretty cool.

No icon for quick select bar though

[tender stump]

ProfX has an AmmoHUD patch for it that adds that, and if you're not into the other things AmmoHUD does, there's a version that's weapon icons only. That's the version I use, patches for the other versions work with it.

[toxic pike]

Nice! Good to know I will add that soon.

[lyric finch]

I just installed it earlier, with the ammoHUD thingy it has a nice lil icon like Syber says

[toxic pike]

I've been thinking about trying that one it seems handy in general

[lyric finch]

Must have for me and it's usually quick the get new icons added or patches made

[tender stump]

It's excellent for keeping the vanilla experience rolling across modded weapons.

[lyric finch]

(if only there was a darksaber patch aaaaa)

[toxic pike]

@lyric finch

pew pew

There it is, been using it in my Neon/Ryujin/stealth focused playthrough

[tender stump]

sexy sexy gun

[toxic pike]

I've only got two weapon mods, the plasma bundle and then that rifle. I need to grab some more.

[tender stump]

Little dark, but patched for DarkStar and Magnetic Weapon Holsters too.
https://i.imgur.com/qKuFvjO.png

[lyric finch]

Usually keep to HyperX weapons I think but that Ryujin one is niice and doesn't have crazy weapon sway

[tender stump]

The RCAR is so popular on the DSHQ server that the patching team didn't even get a chance to patch this one, Wykkyd did it himself.

[lyric finch]

I like the bullpup design which really fits for stealth or ship boarding where you don't want a big long weapon

[toxic pike]

Exactly it fit perfect for a stealthy agent playthrough once you add a suppressor.

[lyric finch]

Always using a suppressor personally

[polar bronze]

I have noticed a mods that locks up another mod and not sure if anyone can fix it properly

The mod that breaks a part of a quest is the cheat terminal that breaks the watchtower quest that you do towards the end

[tender stump]

you should report that to Kinggath Creations on their Discord, their support team may be able to help you with this.

[polar bronze]

I just did

[subtle jungle]

Hey, just curious if you can elaborate more? I use both and I'm wondering what exactly causes a conflict.

[polar bronze]

No clue since I do not understand the tech stuff but all I know is when you get to the part where you talk torin out of being left behind and if you have the cheat terminal mod he does the sparkly part then goes in the middle and it doesn't send him into the void space

But if you save at the start of the room and disable the mod it works

@subtle jungle so that and I did the process of eliminating

[gloomy jolt]

@strong oak thanks!

[true igloo]

On PC you can use a console command to remove the perk, next version adds a new chem that removes it too.

[chilly reef]

Does Starfield no longer have the feature the merchants can sell items lying out in the open that belong to their merchant faction?

[gloomy jolt]

@true igloo are there anymore mods to increase the number of enemy encounters?

[true igloo]

I'm not really the person to ask. I mostly just make mods, I'm not super familiar with what's around.

[sleek cliff]

[random hound]

Small enquriy: What is your favorit paid and non-paid mod on creations? For me non-paid a) V-47 annihilator paid: b) watchtower

[gloomy jolt]

what is watchtower mod

[random hound]

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/5d455df7-d99f-4619-a383-f2b39aa21e00/Watchtower__Orbital_Strike__Fleet_Command

[sleek cliff]

[polar bronze]

I have an idea for mods that is if I want to download one mod and it requires others that are free auto add them

[tender stump]

Mods can't do that, this is a suggestion for Bethesda.

[sleek cliff]

[polar bronze]

I mean sometimes it is hard to figure out what mods are required when it is not stated

[tender stump]

Absolutely. As modders it's on us to make sure we indicate those things using the features of the platforms.

[polar bronze]

Well i have seen a few that do not state the mod that is needed

[jolly torrent]

Yeah, that’s a Beth ask.

[misty abyss]

If you mean on Creations - then yes. The interface is not what I would call exceptionally user friendly without a mod author being very purposeful in the description space.

Which is its own enemy when users don't like to read desne description fields.

[jolly torrent]

I’ve seen it more times where the modder was gracious enough to detail which mods were required with their mods and which ones were incompatible with their mods.

[lyric finch]

Just called my Ryujin bullpup 'Shrike'

[toxic pike]

I need to name my guns, I always forget to

Maybe I'll name mine Sarah. Then when I shoot enemies I'll yell SARAH DISLIKES THAT

Compact Sarah Dislike Rifle

[lyric finch]

I always like to add a * at the start so it goes top of the list

[neat crow]

You can set mods as required on the website, but that field does not show up in the in-game menu, only on the website version. So if a mod is missing and not mentioned in the description itself, perhaps check the website and see if it's listed there at the very bottom of the description page.

[toxic pike]

Now that's a pro tip

[strange canopy]

Ohh look at that i know these guys in here.

[gentle bluff]

@timid temple I am sorry to bother you again, the video seemed helpful however I am trying to get the space suit to blender first, im not sure if i failed to mention but I am very new to computer stuff and I downloaded blender 3.6.9. Im not sure if that complicates or changes how you may do it versus how I should do it.

[timid temple]

oooh you're going the other way around. I'm not sure what the best way to get a suit out of the game files, but it might also depend on what you're trying to do with it.

All I can really say is that my tutorial works best when you use the same things I did and are trying to get things into the game instead of out

I looked at how complex clothing and suits are in the game and nope'd away from them right quick 🤣

[gentle bluff]

Im literally just trying to add mag pouches to the marine space suit, I appreciate the help if anyone else can help me get it into blender first please let me know ive been at this for a week now.

@timid temple again thank you its more than I had to begin with.

[lyric finch]

@true igloo project Lazarus sounds terrifying

Can I drop one on New Atlantis please

[true relic]

Can anyone help? Im on XSX and this started to appear

[slim sun]

You've probably got another HUD mod installed, in addition to StarUI.

[jolly torrent]

Sup bro bro!!

[dapper galleon]

is SFCP needed?

[restive yoke]

As in Community patch? no, neither it or unofficial patch are really necessary.

[dapper galleon]

oh okay

[restive yoke]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/10457

Is probably the better one to have but I really use it for some of the additional features like white grav jump screen

Assuming PC, otherwise enjoy the game because it's pretty stable

It's so wonderful to just install some content and not have to do the mandatory setting up a gorrilian fix mods & frameworks like Skyrim.

[polar bronze]

Why do some mods not fully update and cause the game to show it need to be updated every time I load up the game

[untold field]

That is a visual bug of the creation page. When you update a mod it is indeed fully updated and stays fully updated. However, the mods version number seems to be baked into your save file. Which means the creation store seems to think that you have the mod version installed that you had when you hit the new game button for that save.

[neat crow]

Totally different mod to SFCP

[little hare]

It is different but also fixes quite a few issues with the vanilla game. Besides isn't the community patch #abandoned for like a year now?

[tender stump]

So? Does it need an update?

[neat crow]

Yeah the difference is that one fixes game content issues and the other engine issues

[polar bronze]

@untold field funny part is it is only Bethesda games that have the issues like this

[little hare]

meh... most users don't know and don't care about the origin of the bug. A bug is a bug and a fix is a fix.

[untold field]

Not many other games can be modded to the extend of a Bethesda game. Modding comes with issues, that's nothing new. They will fix it eventually I am sure.

And even if not, its just a visual bug, so no big deal.

[neat crow]

might be so, but it's limited in what people can use Engine Fixes to begin with - PC only.

[tender stump]

And most of the Starfield playerbase is not on PC, and most of the Starfield PC playerbase is not on Steam.

[chilly reef]

what does steam have to do with Engine Fixes?

[tender stump]

Doesn't work with the PC Gamepass version.

[normal steeple]

Engine Fixes has presented some conflicts when creating mods for Vanilla+ experience for both PC/Consoles but it adds some great fixes for PC players. It would be nice for more of these desired fixes to roll out in the base game 🙏

[tender stump]

Basically there are currently three versions of the game, and Engine Fixes works with the least popular of the three.

And next year we're getting two more...

So Engine Fixes is awesome and great and LK is doing a huge service to the community, but most people can't benefit from it, and mods can't assume it will be present.

[gloomy jolt]

is there a a mod to add repeating quest terminals to my ship?

[tender stump]

several

[gloomy jolt]

I tried one but it isn't working

[neat crow]

It requires script extender, and SFSE is not supported on the game pass version. There's way to get it to work, but it's not really straight forward

[tender stump]

And adding instability to your game would somewhat defeat the purpose. 😄

[slim sun]

Certain mission boards, like Crimson Fleet and Va'ruun, require changes to the conditions for how those quests can start for the boards to properly refresh. But the others should work with any of the mods that add them.

[sleek cliff]

Are there any mods that offer SHORTS?

[safe sorrel]

I believe it’s a bug with the Creations menu where it will show some mods as permanently needing updating despite you already having updated them.

I had this issue for a while on Xbox and was able to fix it be clearing out my reserved space and doing a power cycle.

Not sure which platform you’re playing on but you might be able to do something similar and see if that helps at all.

[safe sorrel]

Not specifically just for that, but my Lambent Street Rat Ship Services mod has both a buildable mission board, and one pre-installed in the cargo hab, that gives access to all faction radiant quests (except the Crimson Fleets currently) from your ship or any outpost

[polar bronze]

@safe sorrel I am on pc

[safe sorrel]

I haven’t had to do it on PC so not sure how it works there but I imagine it would still be doable

I think it might be a case of having to delete and reinstall the load order, which depending on the size of your LO can either be a small task or a huge one

[gloomy jolt]

thank you!

[jolly torrent]

I would recommend Dark Universe: Overtime and Catalyst.

[jolly torrent]

Yes. I hate that bug with a passion.

[jolly torrent]

I’m missing my Starfield

Are mods saved on the console, or if I download it on my brother’s Xbox, the mods will be there when I download it.

[lyric finch]

Saved to the console if memory serves. You might be able to log into your Bethesda account and restore load order though

Or... A temporary new playthrough as a Va'ruun agent << >>

[jolly torrent]

Thank you

[jolly torrent]

Would that be through the Creations menu in game?

[lyric finch]

Should be

I mean if you logged into a different Xbox with your usual account you should be able to install and play starfield and access the creations you own from there but take it with a pinch of salt cause it's been a long while since I tried stuff like that

Speaking of jewelry, where are the jewelry stores in Starfield?!!

[sleek cliff]

[nimble latch]

Never mind just jewelry stores. Where's the barbers, the gym, grocery store etc.

[jolly torrent]

That’s sort of where I was going. Lol. It would have been nice to have those options available for those of us who don’t just want to go to “Enhance”/ the quick character edit mod.

I’m wondering what the MV stats for running the CK on a laptop is or if I need a tower to run it.

[tender stump]

the mins listed on Steam look pretty viable to me, people running on less are not having a good time

On the off chance this is useful to someone, I made a higher res version of the undiscovered settlement map marker.

[nimble latch]

Was gonna upgrade to 32 DDR5 but that's now impossible

[untold field]

I am so happy that I upgraded my CPU, mainboard and RAM in late October. That was like the perfect timing, my 32GB DDR5 were dirt cheap.

I finally figured out why that jewelry box and bed seemed familiar, for some odd reason, they remind me of that movie Anastasia.

[rocky parrot]

Anyone know how I could make it so this armor mod only changes the Mantis spacesuit but leaves the boostpack alone? I prefer the vanilla boostpack but like the other parts of this mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/10277

[untold field]

It comes with a full master. You could download that and remove the entry for the boost pack in xedit.

[rocky parrot]

Thanks. 🙂

[untold field]

The full master is a separate file on the mod page, just to be clear.

[rocky parrot]

I was told that messing with full masters was a bad idea though

[untold field]

Not to my knowledge. Full masters are the only masters you can interact with at all in xedit.

[rocky parrot]

Ok

[untold field]

Iirc, medium masters are the evil ones that should be avoided if possible, but cannot be changed in xedit either. Light masters are basically the esls of Starfield, but can also not be changed with xedit at this point.

[rocky parrot]

Thanks. 🙂

[untold field]

I know that if you want to change something in the CK, you should use some tools to convert your full master esm to an esp. But I dont think this is necessary for editing stuff in xedit.

[chilly reef]

You cannot edit esps in xEdit

[jolly torrent]

Big secret: The Little Mermaid and Pocahontas.

[untold field]

Thats actually crazy

[viscid olive]

You can but only if they aren't dependent on a light or medium master file like most of the official BGS update files. Found this out the hard way when trying to edit a patch esp for my mod. The dependent mod for the patch is a light master and also uses some of the BGS updates as dependent master files, which are also light or medium masters, so cleaning in xEdit is useless. Cleaning my own base mods esp in xEdit, which has no other dependencies other than Starfield.esm, works like a charm

[tender stump]

until the latest version...

[untold field]

Oh does it add support for the others?

[tender stump]

SF1Edit64.exe -ItJustWorksTM -ThisIsFine -GiveMeTheRedPill

Back up your stuff. 😄

[surreal storm]

that's actually a thing now? very interesting

[untold field]

I hope if Bethesda releases a cool 2.0 update it will bring back a good bunch of modders

[obtuse stag]

If xedit is not already working with the new esms they'll eventually have to make it work, es6 is almost guaranteed to use the same system

[untold field]

Or with a totally new system that Bethesda comes up in the time between lol

😅

[obtuse stag]

That'd be a surprise, todd has said es6 will use creation engine 2 and that'd be a big change for creation engine

The annoying part is they refuse to even work on fixing it, they claim its a bethesda issue (it isn't, if it works for first party tools then its on third party tools to keep up not the other way around). They just don't care because its starfield so they are pushing blame on bethesda

Yeah I just clarified what the issue is and its literally just that switching between full, medium, and small breaks mods that have them as masters. So the fact that the thing that you're not supposed to do breaks mods is the reason they refuse to update xedit. So yeah its petty nonsense

[jolly torrent]

Highly doubtful of a 2.0 update. I think something is coming, but I would be very surprised on a 2.0 update in the vein of CDPR’s overhaul of CP2077

[surreal storm]

that's because starfield 2 is still maybe 15 years away from now

[jolly torrent]

That’s insane.

[restive yoke]

Software engineer, can confirm he just doesn’t wanna do it. If your in a trade it’s the same deal when someone rants about how 💩 the guy who did the initial job was to save face that it’s hard & annoying.

[jolly torrent]

Are solar winds or solar flares ever a factor in Starfield? I ask this now hearing the heavy winds outside. It’s windy as all get out outside. I forgot I grew up around here.

[sleek cliff]

You are being WAY too generous with that estimation.

We’re at LEAST 16 years from it.

[timid temple]

I feel like I've run into a planet or two where it was a Trait and some variety of environmental hazard

[surreal storm]

maybe and that’s also assuming they are gonna make a starfield 2 instead of tes 7 lets say

[sleek cliff]

We’re gonna be in senior homes with the nurses hitting us and taking away our apple sauce away before we get TES 7

[surreal storm]

at this point that might even happen before tes vi

[chilly reef]

Theres a Solar Storm Seasons planetary trait

[sleek cliff]

Man, I wish Xtudo made Starfield mods.

I mean, BY GOD this looks great.

He can COOK

[urban parcel]

Or you could learn to use CK yourself and make similar mods

[sleek cliff]

how many time do I need to explain this, I don’t HAVE a PC, nor the aptitude for modding.

Besides, I was just SAYING.

Can’t I just compliment the man’s work and hope?

[surreal storm]

i'm not into these kind of mods but i can see the appeal

[sleek cliff]

I don’t like overly revealing outfits, but this one reminded me of Panam from cyberpunk and I kinda dig it.

https://tenor.com/view/cp2077-cyber-punk-cyberpunk2077-2077-panam-gif-24880624

Point is, can’t wait to see new outfits in Starfield.

[tender stump]

You keep phrasing that like nobody has ever released and there aren't people posting their WIP for more lol

[sleek cliff]

Yeah, fair enough, let me rephrase it.

[sleek cliff]

fixed now, my B.

But, in my defense, there are very few clothing mods that aren’t made from existing clothing in game, no hate to people working with what they have of course.

[neat crow]

silly filters ugh

[sleek cliff]

Dyno is man’s worst enemy.

[neat crow]

@sleek cliff I don't know why people keep being annoying to you about making this yourself. You're just spouting about ideas what you like, you're not even demanding anything from anyone. I really don't get what the problem with that is.

Not everyone is a modder or has the resources to do so or even wants to do it which is like totally fine 🤷‍♀️

[sleek cliff]

I don’t either, don’t get me wrong, I would more than anything love to be able to mod, I can tell the amount of work and passion that goes into making mods, but I don’t have the means nor the aptitude to make quality mods like the kind you, tank, fen, nova, etc put out.

I would never want to demand anything, I’m just happy that we even get quality content from y’all.

Oh, no hate to them, they’re doing great work with what they have work with.

[icy bramble]

Nice. Thank you, Xtc

[jolly torrent]

FACTS!!!!!

I have still yet to download KZ’s clothing mod.

[icy bramble]

Amazing stuff

[jolly torrent]

Oh, it is? I was thinking of doing it, it’s just that it’s so large. Lol

[icy bramble]

Truly. I mean, there are some hypersexualized outfits, but the overall aesthetic is impressive.

[jolly torrent]

So it’s worth the download?

You’re on PC? I heard the console version is cleaned up a bit.

[misty geyser]

I think you need to go over and read Jonathan's response as he's quoted the technical explanation behind why xedit doesn't currently play nice with small and medium master files.

[obtuse stag]

I did and its paper thin. Just not handling the increased masterlists is a joke of an excuse. Hell half of the excuse is just that well switching from one to the other breaks mods (something that is actively advised against and is incredibly easy to avoid). The other half is an unquantifiable "it'd take a lot of work to redo the code" which I highly doubt as again its just a new masterlist

Not to mention they are also actively advising people to not use medium and small masters despite the fact that by their own admission their us nothing wrong with them. They only have issues if you change from one to the other

[misty geyser]

Actually it would take a great deal of work to make xedit fully compatible with the new system. I've spent many a day discussing it with the guy who's doing a lot of the dev work on that front.

There's also the issue of subrecords with Reflection data in them that cannot be edited at all due to how those structures work.

That said, I don't agree with some people on that server telling people not to use small or medium masters. They work fine in the game.

In fact the container expansion mod I did is a small master and nobody has ever said it's not working because of that.

[icy bramble]

Totally! Yeah, I am on PC

[neat crow]

Yup, they definitely work fine. Many of my mods are also small or mediums without issues.

[jolly torrent]

I’ll download it when I get home tomorrow.

I need more clothing mods, tbh.

@icy bramble Before downloading, do I need to do anything special, such as remove my current clothing or anything? Or does it use unique clothing assets?

[untold field]

It would still be a huge step for Starfield modding if they were fully supported I guess. Wonder what they will do if/when TES6 comes with the same system

I do not blame anyone for not putting the work into Starfield. Bethesda has to make Starfield into something people want to play and mod first.

I still enjoy it and like to make mods for it, but switching back and forth between SF and FO4 is painful, because it shows how much lacking SF is on the modding side.

[sleek cliff]

[lyric finch]

As someone who has no hope to make a mod I humbly request that someone much more talented than me create a mod that adds Altaïr's sword as an endgame level weapon possibly with a UI icon pleaseee

https://tenor.com/view/altair-assassins-creed-ac1-fight-gif-20429982

[swift mesa]

Nobody asking for starborn va'ruunator spacesuit and I am judging all y'all for it

[west flare]

I miss the days when we don't have to worry about medium files and other esm files when we use esp often for modding. Now people fear using esps would break the game in Starfield. The plugin limit in Starfield and the forced use of esms to play the game is tedious.

And yes, Arthmoor's right. Wish xEdit would be able to allow us to edit the esms without errors or whatnot. I stopped playing Starfield, not because I despise it (because I really want to play it again) only because the crashes I get in the game when I fast travel to major cities and I do not want to go to the Unity, but apparently the save bloats and plugin limit is preventing me to play the game unless I start a new game or delete mods. But deleting mods while loading my current save now breaks the game severely more than previous Bethesda game, leaving me the only option to delete mods and start a new game.

[obtuse stag]

You do realize that the plugin limit in starfield is higher than any other Bethesda game right? True right now there is a record limit but that's not quite the same thing. And the switch from esp's to esm's has nothing to do with that. In fact the switch to esm's is almost exclusively a good thing with the only downside so far is that xedit doesn't work with the new esm formats. And removing mods in any Bethesda game has never been safe and is not more dangerous in starfield, the level of breakage and the speed at which it breaks is down to the size of the mods, the scope of the mods, what you are currently doing in game, and so on

[chilly reef]

the main issues are bethesda making the light and medium masters' internal form IDs inconsistent, and suddenly having introduced several kinds of data structures in their plugins

[obtuse stag]

It should also be noted that if xedit gets their way and bethesda does change the system it would break every non full master mod made to date, which includes paid creations. So their solution to avoid doing the work is to break thousands of mods

[obtuse stag]

Its inconsistent with the old way, but that doesn't make it inconsistent

[misty geyser]

As far as I know Bethesda is well aware of what would need to be done to fix the situation.

[chilly reef]

Is also inconsistent in itself, some light masters use the prefix 01 internally, while others use FE001, from what I've heard

[obtuse stag]

Not according to what the xedit devs told me yesterday

[obtuse stag]

Yes they are aware that to meet the demands of the xedit devs they would need to change the way formids are handled there by breaking every mod that has them as a master no different than what happens if you change a medium master to a full master. the xedit devs even admit that the fix would cause the break

[chilly reef]

I'd have to grab that explanation txt by Jonathan, but I'm about to head to bed and not in the mood for arguments

[obtuse stag]

And their ain't no way Bethesda is going to break paid creations to appease a third party tool

[sleek cliff]

I mean, is there a modder here that actually likes HV?

[swift mesa]

No bc everyone has bad taste apparently 😔

[sleek cliff]

It is kind of funny that almost no one has touched Va’ruun’kai yet.

Maybe not even modders can save that place.

[safe sorrel]

I love Va‘ruun’Kai! The only reason I haven’t done anything with it currently is because I’ve been working on general all purpose building mods and dont want to add a DLC dependency to those outside of add on packs, and large paid mods which can’t use Shattered Space as a dependency

I think I’ve seen some people saying there’s a lack of access to things like scripts currently for Shatter Space, so it’s possible others haven’t because they didn’t have access to some of the parts they needed for their mods.

I have a few Va’ruun mods on my “to do list” but as folks might have already figured out, my to do list is looooong and my projects all seem to take an age to complete

[sleek cliff]

I hadn’t even considered modders don’t have assets from VK

Damn it, Todd.

[sleek cliff]

Worth the wait though.

[safe sorrel]

I hope they are! It would be nice if I could get more than one big one done a year though for sure

[sleek cliff]

Quality takes time and dedication and I am VERY patient.

BTW. Have you given any more thought to those shirts from Lambent street?

[safe sorrel]

I have! I got a start on some, but been in a weeds with some Lambent fixes, and the next “Modular Outposts” mod which I finally started getting some traction on

[sleek cliff]

HELL YEAH! Friggin’ nice!

It’s gonna be soooooo cool!

[sleek cliff]

I bet! Outta curiosity, what are your current ideas on the pants?

[jolly torrent]

I am still patiently waiting on a modder to do “Diseases of the Settled Systems” lol

[safe sorrel]

The next Modular Outposts has a lot of platform and decking in it that I’m hoping will massively increase the kinds of outposts we can make.

Currently that means creating so many snapping templates and behaviors, like it’s 90% snaps

[sleek cliff]

SICK, I actually did really like that about FO4

The snapping aspect.

[icy bramble]

Not at all ❤️

[jolly torrent]

I can’t wait for that one, tbh.

[safe sorrel]

Me too! This is still habs like the last one, but there’s a lot of outdoor structures and parts.

I’m trying to make it all work with vanilla and other modded habs too, so there’s been a lot of puzzles to solve to get it to work with hopefully just about everything

[neat crow]

oh no, my condolences lol

[safe sorrel]

I may end up bald by the end of this project, because it has me pulling my hair out every single day

[sleek cliff]

The snapping made me feel SAFE

[untold field]

Nah thats not it

What I want is that if a system is level 10, enemies should be level 10 to 15 maybe
if its level 20 system, they should be level 20 to 25 something like that.

[obtuse stag]

There's dynamic universe but that's your level instead of the system level after you are higher than the system

[untold field]

Yeah Ive seen a couple of level scaling mods but that is not what I am after

[misty geyser]

All it would take to be fixed on the mod author side is to update the plugin by loading the .esp and reconverting it to whichever type of master they want once such an update is done. So it's not a doom and gloom end of the world thing.

[jolly torrent]

Aww damn. I think that’s the one I wanted to show you, but I’m not sure.

[untold field]

I mean I guess it would break some saves but in the end that what modding is. Fixes will break mods, updates will break saves. It cannot always be prevented.

[jolly torrent]

So for those who have KZ’s clothing mod, should I take off my character’s existing clothing before installing the mod?

Sleepwear is a mod idea I've had since Oblivion

Never made sense to me that people would go to bed in full dress

Who wears what to bed would be a nice way to slip in some characterization too

Walter would definitely wear expensive silk jammies

Sam and Barrett are tanktops & boxers

Sarah seems the type to sleep in a nightgown

And Andreja? Andreja sleeps in a muumuu, no question

[tender stump]

There's one sleepwear in the game, skinning it would be a quick way to make a bunch of them. There's a couple of suits that could be reskinned to look like more expensive jammies, even more if you take FDR's suit and whack out the tie and shirt in nifskope.

That would make great flannel jammies.

There's even a texture you could use for buffalo plaid already, in space trucker flannel

[sleek cliff]

That actually makes too much sense.

[sleek cliff]

Andreja strikes me as someone that would probably sleep in the nude because something something Great Serpent.

[sleek cliff]

You could take the leggings from Mei’s Dress, shorten them to actual shorts and the tank top from the space rogue outfit, change colors or add logos on it, BAM

[barren charm]

All that's fine but we still need the muumuu

No point doing a sleepwear mod without a muumuu

[sleek cliff]

Fair enough, can not argue that.

[sleek cliff]

just how it goes sometimes.

[swift mesa]

maybe I can trick the game into thinking that I'm married to sahima

[jolly torrent]

It would have been funny if we got a mod for streaming services to parody current states’ dependence on streaming media.

[swift mesa]

if I can kidnap a child and turn her into a childsoldier with starborn powers and everything I'm sure I can also make Sahima wife

[sleek cliff]

It’s kinda funny why BGS decided against letting you marry Sahima, even in the Dragonborn DLC you could marry that girl from Solstheim

Why can’t I engage in marriage with her, TODD?

Leg space. I’m a tall dude.

And this drunk lady Karen was complaining about being on a plane with crying babies and when we told her that that is a fact of life she called us (the entire plane) fat before sitting in her seat. I needed to stow away an Astha to chomp her face.

Finally, getting back in Starfield

Yes!

I bought a laptop just to play this beauty while I’m away from my PC on a short trip. Totally addicted to this game.

[jolly torrent]

Im sorry, I had to laugh at this one.

I don’t why I’m still in the “CREATIONS” menu.

This is for tonight. A nice Super Tuscan.

[jolly torrent]

And my game takes FOREVER AND A DAY to load.

[lofty crest]

Would there be anything specific anyone could think of that would be bugging out weapon reload sound effects causing them to not be heard? I've got all other audio playing properly.

Nevermind. Sorted that

[untold field]

Iirc that is a bug that occurs when you start a new game with a mod that skips the intro. Can be fixed by saving/reloading the save

[lofty crest]

I did try that, didn't work tho. unless I needed to head all the way to desktop. i ended up making sure my plugin order was saved in MO2 first but I followed what I saw some mention for other audio issues and while in creations disabled all plugins, exited game > loaded game. re-enabled everything. then hopped back out to make sure I had MO2 put everything back in the order I had. then loaded game/save and problem solved.
I was using SKK fast start for the purpose of quick testing stuff while I finalize my mod list

Those who get why this is basically the N.A. military theme + the New Atlantis theme, I applaud yall 💯

[worldly furnace]

I dunno, I’m kinda fatigued of this 80s synthwave trend

Some 90s grunge rock while storming a base would be fun.

Hi @timid temple hope you don't mind me pinging you like this, I've been following your Blender to CK tutorial video

hey guys i need serious help porting an outfit and spacesuit i have been trying to figure out how to get my modded outfit and space suit to just show up in game for a very long time to no avail and all help would be appreciated

Never tried that before, but maybe this might help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxZjBo7pf-Y

[lyric finch]

My quest to find a perfect assault rifle continues having gone though and eliminated many choices because of excessive aim sway

And that's just base game ones, creations are harder to tell because videos don't show the Truth and gets expensive to test them

[regal drift]

I appreciate the help I believe I have watched and tried to follow along to these videos before but I will try again hopefully this time will be the time I get them working

[polar bronze]

I love how finding some mods is hard to do

[lofty crest]

I do have a comparison vs use both mod question I was hoping to get some input on from folks.
I was previously using The Gang's All Here, I'm considering switching to Liga of Followers(primarily to use it to set followers up to stay and dismiss to player home locations). Has anyone ran both of these at the same time and encountered any issues?

[edgy plover]

it shouldn't be hard to rename a star right?

[jolly torrent]

Agreed!

[jolly torrent]

This would be dope.

[polar bronze]

why does creation club like to let me update a mod and when i leave the game it reverts to the last version

[strong oak]

Creation club has a programming issue. It will place say 8 mods in updates constantly. Programmers have sent info to Bethesda on fixing the issue. But fixes have not been done. The fix would not be a needed update. They can fix it directly in Creations.

[polar bronze]

Well i ask because one mod the version does not match the one I am playing my save has the up to date version it is 1.0.4 but it keeps putting it back to 1.0.3

[strong oak]

If the Mod author does not change the version info in the update - it will show what is in that update. It may say Version 1.0 when it is 3.2.1 .

[polar bronze]

The mod author did and they do not know what to do about it

[strong oak]

The Mod Author has a channel to the Bethesda Creations team.

[polar bronze]

Well i have 10 different mods that have true updates but every time I load into the game the save says it has mod conflicts

Where the save has one mod version and my game show i have an old version

[jolly torrent]

Is anyone working on a mod that will add more bosses to the game? Asking out of curiosity.

[chilly reef]

This game has bosses?

[jolly torrent]

Same thing I asked myself when I booted up the game for the first time back in August of 2023.

[sleek cliff]

@sleek cliff You’re funny

[sleek cliff]

I try.

[jolly torrent]

Well, I appreciate your sense of humor.

My 2026 wish: more mods that add more clothes, hair options, and bosses. Also, drug smuggling and more “adult novelty”, please.

On the console!!!!!!

[lofty crest]

As a huge fan of your Modular Argos modules I can't wait to see what comes next

Also, just an in general question. I don't want to tag people w/o consent lol
how hard would it be to fix the slightly off display positions on the bench being used in the Noel's Greenhouse patch for Galactic Harvest being partially setup in the lodge?

[safe sorrel]

The next one is sort of Xenofresh themed and has some really fun pieces I think

[lofty crest]

Ooh interesting. being the weaponsmith/blacksmith miner in most games when the option presents itself, that Argos stuff spoke to me lol. I'm about done finishing up a revamped load order for a new start and hopefully the few weird issues I had with my followers getting hung up pathing up the some of the steps to get inside will have gone away(likely attributed to some conflict in my messy load order)

Still, will definitely be on the lookout for more of your work. Your Argos stuff gives me good tools to rehome Lyn and Heller when I don't have room on the ship

[safe sorrel]

Pathing in outposts is currently painfully janky, unfortunately

I really dig the miner themed aesthetic too, and still got some more things I want to add to the Argos mod on a future update

[subtle jungle]

What I like about the Argos mod is it's a believable place that can be on just about any planet you wanna use them on. I'm currently using them to build my base of operations for my Pirate playthrough. Abandoned Argos installation now unexpected pirate HQ.

[safe sorrel]

I’ve been doing the same thing in my pirate playthroughs!

And that has been the vibe I’ve been shooting for with the Modular Outpost series so I’m glad it came across that way to others too

[lofty crest]

I think it what I had happening was not able to get them to path up any of the stairs that formed and couldn't path up to and into the airlocks, I just figured it was my load order and something was messing with things.

Not sure if someone could help me. but if I've got some form id's via console from clicking on an item in game. how was it I could read that to determine the mod the item/object was attached to? I've got some wonky stuff just falling out of the sky I'm trying to pinpoint what mod I added today/yesterday is causing it lol.

I'm currently doing the usual, disable a few mods > load game > check process, but i figured if i could remmeber how to tell what mod an object is from based off the console information that would speed things up

[jolly torrent]

Ah hell. Tried to download the CK and ran into some weird space issue.

[mental estuary]

Seems pretty normal, there is alot of space in this game :3

[subtle jungle]

I also used it for my Va'ruun play through too. They are just so well done I always find myself saying "Well, this actually could work for this too." 😂

[safe sorrel]

Is it like a barrel and a box or something like that falling onto landing pads?

[safe sorrel]

I feel like every faction happily messes with miners, so no mater your angle, there’s always a believable reason to be inhabiting an Argos outpost

[lofty crest]

2 boxes, 1 barrel and sometimes juice pack

Ah. Forgotten frontiers 2 possibly. Testing now

[safe sorrel]

Yeah I was about to say Forgotten Frontiers 2 causes that one for some weird reason

[lofty crest]

Does MadMonkey119 know about it?

double checking now with it disabled to see if it's still happening

Ah man yup, that was it, well bummer

and i just caught a thread about it online. I'll make a note of it and leave it toggled off for now.

[lyric finch]

My 2026 wishlist
New assault rifle platforms, power swords and combat knives from Vigilance

Everything else is bonus

[surreal storm]

power swords? is it legally distinct lightsabers

[amber sparrow]

We have swords and combat knives already though

[sleek cliff]

[rigid hatch]

Absolutely this please and thank you

[untold field]

Really bummed out by Watchtower (again)
I want to play it so much, but for the second time now it starts all good for the first couple of hours with the mod only to then fall apart pretty quickly. Adding more and more issues to my game to the point where I don't want to continue with it.

That is so very frustrating because apart from some design decisions I really don't like the overall mod is fun and engaging.

[sleek cliff]

yeah…

[untold field]

You had the same?

[sleek cliff]

Kinda. The novelty wore off after the first 5 times I played it.

[lyric finch]

We do but not a power sword and the knife I'm referencing is the one you see on Vigilance armour so it looks like you're carrying the same blade

[untold field]

I feel that, the gameplay loop is not fun enough for me to bother with the design decisions I dont like, the limitations holding the mod back and the issues and bugs that slowly tear my game apart lol.

[sleek cliff]

There are 2 reasons it’s even still in my load order, I paid for it and that I spent a LOT of time pimping out my room on stardock.

[sleek cliff]

I really hope BGS pulls out all the stops this year.

I got so bored with Starfield and I’ve done everything I can, vanilla and downloaded that I went back to Skyrim.

and the kicker? I’m enjoying Skyrim more.

Mostly because of her.

[lyric finch]

Meanwhile there's me with Not Yet Watchtower set to be late game and haven't made it that far for the better part of a year

[sleek cliff]

[surreal storm]

xbox developer direct is this month probably when we’ll see something new

[neat crow]

do we have a date for it yet

[barren charm]

Honestly that room is enough to make the whole mod worth it for me 🤣

I am an enjoyer of player homes

[sleek cliff]

Same, I like that room.

[barren charm]

The lighting is horrible though, I downloaded a buildable lights mod just for it

[sleek cliff]

Let’s hope, but I’m gonna be skeptical till they announce something and even then I’m gonna be WARY cause they might just announce something 76 related or ESO related

[surreal storm]

i read some xbox executive said developer direct is quite big this year so there’s hope

[tender stump]

They usually don't even announce the date until the second or third week, and it's usually toward the end of January. But of course "usually" is not a guarantee.

[sleek cliff]

Fingers crossed I suppose, but I don’t wanna get let down again.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZVgHPSyEIqk&si=NvzhD-Og5ijJLj0-

Radiohead even made a SONG for people like us.

[surreal storm]

likely earlier than last year this time as that was delayed by switch 2

[sleek cliff]

Jokes aside, I do wonder even if the S2 can even handle Starfield.

I remember reading that the S2 is basically a hand held PS4

[surreal storm]

i owned a switch 2 for a few months now and i’m pretty much convinced now it can run starfield

[tender stump]

It is widely believed that the recent change to add ultra low graphics settings was to make it run better on the Switch 2 when they release it. Of course many things are "widely believed" so take that with a small Siberian salt mine.

[sleek cliff]

I guess we’ll see, seeing as how Todd had the audacity to re release ANOTHER version of Skyrim, I wouldn’t put it past him and BGS to find a way for Starfield to be on the switch 2.

[tender stump]

I have legitimately considered the question while modding, like "there are two ways I could do this... hmm, if we don't get external assets on Switch 2 or PlayStation, way #1 wouldn't be available, so I'll do way #2 instead"

[sleek cliff]

I shudder at the thought of Starfield on switch and NO mods.

[neat crow]

Skyrim for Switch has no mods either does it?

[sleek cliff]

Nope.

[surreal storm]

nope but i suspect they'll add it based on what i've seen by playing it on the switch 2

[sleek cliff]

Doubt FO4 S2 will either.

[neat crow]

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's just Nintendo saying no

[surreal storm]

maybe only "verified" mods will be allowed so the ones that are paid

[sleek cliff]

Nintendo seems to follow Sony’s thing of no extra assets.

[surreal storm]

sony is fine with extra assets now even skyrim is getting this support soon

[sleek cliff]

Which I think is horse Radish.

[surreal storm]

#modding-news message

[sleek cliff]

Well I’ll be damned.

If switch 2 Skyrim gets the use of external assets, it might actually be WORTH getting.

again.

I’ve lost count on how many times I’ve bought Skyrim.

[kindred ferry]

4 i think for me

[sleek cliff]

[surreal storm]

i bought my first physical skyrim copy when i got switch 2 last year because i always played on pc before

[sleek cliff]

I first played on my PlayStation 4 back in the day.

Also, the music is CHEF’S KISS

[surreal storm]

oh yeah elder scrolls music is great for sure. i listen to it while working or making mods quite often

[sleek cliff]

Yeah, there’s something uniquely serene and majestic about it.

[neat crow]

Curious how the music for TES6 will be with a different person doing it

[tender stump]

My YouTube Music recap had the Stardock Alpha ambient music from Watchtower as the background, and said my top artist was Jacob McNatt, who did the music for that mod lol

[surreal storm]

assuming it's inon zur then something like dragon age origins or tes blades

[slim sun]

I think both times I've ever considered trying to use one of the built-in default scripts for something simple, it has ended up doing something I didn't want it to. For those who restrict themselves to them, you have my (and I guess Sony's) respect, but that's not for me.

[tender stump]

Even if we get nothing but external scripts, that'll be HUGE.

[sleek cliff]

if only

Also, I hope once y’all get the ani kit, y’all can create TAKEDOWNS.

I’ve never watched this.

But the gal is the middle has a nice outfit.

That's from a sequence where they're singing a song called "Takedown"

It's a takedown, I'ma take you out, you'll break down like, "What?"
It's a takedown, I'ma take you out, and it ain't gonna stop

[timid temple]

(it's worth it, the plot is shockingly deep)

shame we still don't have custom animations

[sleek cliff]

Someday we will, when Todd remembers the password to CK and gives y’all the remaining BIT of it.

[sleek cliff]

I’ve heard, I’ve seen some shorts about some lady called Celine and how she won’t look at the girl.

And the animation looks CRISPY

[sleek cliff]

I’ve been lucky, I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a game breaking mod.

Also, how hard would it be to bring books from Skyrim to Starfield?

[untold field]

You mean the animations?

[tender stump]

I think somebody did already

[sleek cliff]

nah, I mean the actual books, like rear guard, Lusty Argonian Maid, etc, I can only read Dracula so many time before I lose it.

[tender stump]

The text of the books, dead simple. The animation, UI work blech, but somebody did it already.

Peter4Master

Starfield Book UI Overhaul on Nexusmods. He's planning to bring it to Xbox as well.

[sleek cliff]

Nice! I’m a console PEASANT and I’d love to have more books to collect.

I can see them being a popular fantasy series in the universe of Starfield

[tender stump]

This is not pressure, and I acknowledge what you've said in the past, but this is the kind of mod somebody could do with a PC that doesn't meet the specs for the Creation Kit. Would make a good first mod. 😄

[sleek cliff]

Oh absolutely! I’ve been saving up this year to buy a good PC

I at least want to attempt to work in CK with the proper tools in hand.

And if I can’t manage it, at least I’ll have a good PC to go WILD with Skyrim.

But seriously, the book selection in Starfield is abysmal.

One thing I love about Skyrim is the ability to collect books and display them on bookshelves.

[tender stump]

There are some cool mods to make it easier to display books, and some that add more books. Also WykkydGaming, the DarkStar author, is a dark fantasy fiction author and has the preludes of some of his books in DarkStar as new books.

[sleek cliff]

Really? Need to see if any are on XBOX, I adore mods to add things to my outpost.

[tender stump]

the author also has other wonderful display mods, I like to show off my hat collections.

Sometimes it's just a shelf full of Chunks hats lol

[sleek cliff]

I’d love to be able to collect more books and display them.

[slim sun]

The only minor issue I have with that one is that there are quite a lot of slates in the game with type "none" which all end up showing the book UI then. But it is nice work, very pretty.

Does anyone know if there is a mod apart from StarUI that let's you copy/paste colors in the ship builder?

I really dont want to use the starui shipbuilder for various reasons.

[rocky parrot]

Anyone know of any mods that have modular armor plates like this? Where it can be equipped over an undersuit?

The original mod in this image got an update that removed that functionality.
I want to do something like that for the Boba Fett 1313 armor mod

This one specifically

[lofty crest]

we don't have a ton of options for alternative Varuun spacesuit replacers do we

[sleek cliff]

The Invisible Mandalorian

[lyric finch]

Err I think none really

Not a lot of Va'ruun creations which is heresy on its own

[lofty crest]

Kind of sad. I might not be a serpent guys but they deserve some love too

[lofty crest]

Not sure if anyone would know. But as I'm using background dialogue unlocked . It actually allows you to take both introvert and extrovert. What im curious about is if that effectively neutralizes their bonus/negative effects

[jolly torrent]

Wait…is that mod only on PC???

[celest cliff]

Why do I keep having the same 4 creations saying they're updated every time I log in?
I've tried deleting them and rebooting the game, then redownloading them and it still says they're updated every time.
Is this a known bug happening?

[untold field]

yes its a visual bug

[barren charm]

Wait, there's ambient music in Stardock? 😲

I've been thinking that it's really boring for a bar, it could use some music

[strong oak]

Its been a known issue for a very long time. Programmers sent the fix to Bethesda to implement on the Creations servers. But as you can see it is still happening. I have about 7 to 9 that popup every login saying needs updating but they do not need to be updated. I just check on them every 2 weeks to see if there really is an update. <shrug> . The needed fix is on the Creations server and not needed via an Update.

[strong wadi]

it does. i use that mod.

dialogue is still there though

[slim sun]

Before I try a thing that's doomed to fail, is a pack-in with objects that have linked references to each other possible? I think I maybe remember people saying doors that use linked references break in pack-ins...?

[neat crow]

load doors in itself cannot be used inside packins

stuff linking to each other inside a packin is fine

as long as its not linking outside it

[lofty crest]

I was kind of hoping that was the case. I just wanted the dialogue options but was hoping in their case the passive bonus/negative of each would equally just cancel each other out

[jolly torrent]

That’s a bug.

A bug that Beth never bothered to fix.

[slim sun]

Thanks

M’aiq the liar plushie when?

[lofty crest]

@sharp lynx Sorry to ping you out of the blue, but I had a question with your Galactic Harvest Mod. While I was doing some testing on a soon to be new save.
I also took a look at the " Noel's Greenhouse " creation patch that allows us to use some of the Galactic Harvest features in the Lodge, It adds a work table in the basement to access some of the growing features but it has a few display screens that seem to be oddly positioned/clipping thru. I had reached out to Sweatpea the mod author of the patch to inquire about it. They mentioned the asset's weren't theirs but from your creation so they couldn't really fix the creation patch on their end. it seems to specifically be the compact botany lab table. Is this something that would be an easy fix?

[lofty crest]

Weirdly enough. I just re-enabled skk fast start so I could check on something on a separate new save(I've since started my actual save up proper w/Forgotten Frontiers 2 disabled)
On the test save that creation is still disabled, but I just got a bundle of random clutter including a ladder and some other stuff drop from the sky. Now I have no idea where that batch came from

[jolly torrent]

Starfield time.

[lofty crest]

almost same here, just got a new save going. I'm trying to finish up some prologue stuff in another game before I head to the stars tho lol

[jolly torrent]

I’m m thinking I should start a new save as my current save is taking an eternity to load. Smdh.

Hi all, does anyone know if the locations from the mod “Tiny Reasons to Explore…Too!” spawn in biomes without life? I’m using the mod Desolation and trying to avoid out-of-place/manmade locations spawning on planets without life. Tagging @surreal storm in case they are on 🙂

[white flint]

Does anyone know if Star wars Genesis mod is available for Xbox, I'm not home so I can't check myself

[slim sun]

It is not: https://genesismodlist.com/f-a-q/

[white flint]

That's a real damn shame.

[untold field]

Still basically the only thing keeping me away from using those, I would love a "respect desolation/the great unknown rules" option

Not sure about the spawns on planets without life, but iirc thats only one of the things desolation does.

[surreal storm]

Not yet, but the next update (hopefully it will be tested by the end of the month) should add a gameplay toggle

[icy bramble]

Also, allowing a toggle to disable vendor kiosks completely would be awesome

[surreal storm]

Sure, I can do that. Let me know if there's anything else someone would love to see as I'm trying to add as many fixes and requested features before people come back for the next dlc

Thanks @surreal storm! I checked the change logs for Tiny Reasons to Explore and Tiny Reasons to Scavenge and it looks like both of those mods were updated to prevent certain locations from spawning on planets without life because they would break immersion, so it would be awesome if Tiny Reasons…Too! got the same treatment.

[surreal storm]

Yep, it's getting a toggle called Desolation Mode that will allow you to disable this soon. But at this current moment there is a seperate location pool for planets without life even without this toggle

[umbral lava]

Starfield cryomancer faction mod is so good an vigilance wow wow thank you

[jolly torrent]

@surreal storm Damn dude. You’re out here doing the Lord’s work. Keep it up. You’re amazing!!!

[jolly torrent]

Ding….ding….ding…. Starfield time (((time, time, time)))

[jolly torrent]

Just had my dinner, but NOW it is Starfield time.

[celest cliff]

Is there a mod that allows pickpocketing credits? I know I used to be able to, but after taking a long break and having to re-do all my mods, I cannot remember what mod allowed that. Unless it was just removed from an existing mod like Skills of the Scoundrel.

[edgy plover]

Do you wanna the glass dark edge or not for STS scopes?

I don't wanna add this effect, to be honest

Do you think it is necessary?

[slim sun]

No, I think what you've got looks fine already.

[icy bramble]

Jesus. This is fire

[icy bramble]

@neat crow Thank you for the latest update to Shuttle Services. I’ve added it back to my load order — brilliant work. No issues at all.

[neat crow]

glad you enjoy it!

[tender stump]

that's base game functionality, if it's not happening you probably have a mod overriding it, as you suggested

[ivory flame]

Dude can someone help me eith mod modlist. I feel like an idiot. I spen 70 bucks on freaking bethesda bucks an lo and behold why would I think any different, my load order crashes as soon as I start getting to load in new Atlantis. Im on xbox also

[timid temple]

you might have better luck asking the StarfieldMods subreddit

[lyric finch]

I genuinely asked GPT to generate a starfield mod list order in categories and grouped my mods following it and have no issues

[ivory flame]

I did that with Google

[untold field]

how many mods do you have installed

[ivory flame]

Like 110 maybe

[untold field]

Doesnt sound too much. How many very big mods (like WT, Cryomancer etc.)?

[ivory flame]

Thats a good question I have about 10 gigs of mods and I would say like maybe 15 tops are large scale im not sure though

[untold field]

15 large scale mods could be an issue

[ivory flame]

Darn okay well let me ask this if I delete everything that isn't achievement friendly should it work

[untold field]

No it doesnt matter if a mod is achievement friendly or not

[ivory flame]

I ask because I think most of the big ones I have are close and big by me is like 300 megs

Mgb

[untold field]

Starfield currently has a couple of limits that are kind of easy to exceed. Not saying that this applies to you. But there is apparently a big issues with the game running out of IDs if you are using too many large mods.

Which means its mostly about the records in a mod.

That is something Bethesda has to fix

[ivory flame]

Like watch tower is the only one breaking a gig

[untold field]

Try to disable Watchtower and see if your game loads

[ivory flame]

I hear such good things about it though

[untold field]

Yeah this is not about Watchtower itself

We just want to see if removing a big mod makes your game run again

[ivory flame]

Kk

[untold field]

Removing the biggest mod should be the best choice for that

[ivory flame]

Doing it now

I would hate to have basically flushed 60 bucks

[untold field]

Don't give up yet, could be as simple as a load order issue.

[ivory flame]

This happened to me with fallout 4 also cause I guess im just an idiot and high on hopium for bethesda

[untold field]

Sucks that you cannot share loadorder from Xbox in an easy textfile like on PC lol

[ivory flame]

Yeah lol

Make things a little easier haha

[untold field]

I imagine LO management on consoles must be painful 😅

[ivory flame]

It truly is

I have been working on this mod order for 4 days now lol

Yeah, no that didnt help i am literally stuck in an animation

[untold field]

Tbh, LOs for Starfield are not that complicated. Imo most guides out there are kind of useless. Sorting all mods of the same kind in groups together does not serve any purpose but your convenience.

The main purpose of sorting your LO is "solving" conflicts. Mods that do not cause any conflicts should be load order neutral.

Some exceptions to this rule, but there is no real explanation to this. Might be that we don't know enough about Starfields mod structures yet, but some mods behave weirdly if they are not loaded before or after specific others and nobody really knows why.

[tender stump]

It also serves the convenience of the people you're showing your load order to, which is often the difference between "I looked at your LO and found this problem" vs "I didn't look at your LO because it's an unorganized mess and I have a day job and several hobbies."

[untold field]

And of course there is stuff like masters need to be loaded before the mod they are a master of but that is nothing you can really influence, the game will just forcefully do it.

[jolly torrent]

What he said.

[jolly torrent]

I need to find this mod.

[untold field]

If you dont want to look at a LO just because its not sorted in categories you should maybe not offer to look at a LO at all. A LO can be perfectly well sorted even if it doesnt follow any of those LO guides.

But thats just my opinion. Sure it looks nice and is convenient, I do it myself partially, but there is really no need to.

[tender stump]

Thank you for sharing your opinion. After careful consideration, I've decided to continue helping people. But I'll make a note and, where appropriate, let them know you don't want me to.

[jolly torrent]

Anyway, does anyone know the name of the shuttle mod? I really need to add it to my load order.

[tender stump]

There are multiple mods that could fit the description "the shuttle mod". Did you mean the one that's a ship that looks like the Space Shuttle? The one that shuttles you around? The one that's a car called "sub orbital shuttle"?

[icy bramble]

Just a sec

[safe sorrel]

Is this the one you mean?

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/f6394868-0b0a-4e92-a05e-576a21c3dfd0/Settled_Systems_Shuttle_Service

[icy bramble]

Yep

[jolly torrent]

Thank you!!

[jolly torrent]

Is any modder working on bosses for this game or is there a plan to add a mod that adds bosses to this game? Just curious.

[neat crow]

There are already bosses, what specifically are you talking about?

[jolly torrent]

There are???

When I say bosses, I mean like bosses in either human or alien form. I would appreciate a large alien boss that is an Eldritch Horror. Just wild, insane bosses/creatures the character can stumble across. Maybe I’m “not playing the game right” or whatever, but I haven’t stumbled on to any noteworthy bosses. I got them all the time in Skyrim.

[tender stump]

Not only are there bosses, there's one that's a large alien horror.

At least two, actually.

[neat crow]

Ah yeah most SF bosses aren't anything like that, they're just stronger enemies that have epic/legendary gear spawn as loot. And a big health bar.

[jolly torrent]

There is??? Which planet? Not being facetious or anything, I really want to know.

[jolly torrent]

Ahhh, so the “Legendary Enemies” are technically bosses.

[tender stump]

There's one in the Crimson Fleet questilne, and one in the Vanguard questline.

[neat crow]

yeahhhh

[tender stump]

Most faction quests have boss fights at some point.

[jolly torrent]

Oh, the “Lock” planet. I wish there were more bosses like that. I am just kinda let down by the way the bosses were handled in the game.

[jolly torrent]

Thanks!

[neat crow]

they for sure aren't what most people understand as a boss

[tender stump]

There's also ExoWarlock's "Starborn Among Us", which turns a lot of enemies into tougher variants, including POI minibosses. Puts them on par with faction questline bosses.

Bedlam does something similar.

[jolly torrent]

I totally see that. I don’t we really hoping for some Skyrim esque big bosses.

[tender stump]

But Bedlam also throws in extra enemies, sometimes waves. Sometimes alien horrors.

[jolly torrent]

I don’t think that’s on console. Let me check.

[tender stump]

All the mods I've mentioned today are on console.

[jolly torrent]

ExoWarlock’s mod is on console? Interesting. I haven’t heard of it.

Thank you!

[tender stump]

There's thousands of mods, it's normal not to have heard of them all. 😄

[jolly torrent]

I also wish Terrormorphs were far more frequent.

Ugh, I have to get more storage on my OneDrive. I have to pay for more storage, of course. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Also @tender stump and/or @neat crow what system generally has the most “Legendary Enemies”? I have come across maybe 6 in a 150 hour + game save. Lol

[tender stump]

you'll get more from quests and bounties I think. Especially the Freestar questline's side bounty system, that gives you a guaranteed boss every four bounties.

[jolly torrent]

Shoot, that questline is blocked off for me in this game save. I suppose it makes sense theoretically in my playthrough, since I’m UC loyal. So points for the game’s bugs to work in my favor. Lol

[icy bramble]

You can use Waylayer (Creation). It allows you to configure, through gameplay settings, Terrormorph ambushes during planetary traversal.

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/90041071-ad91-41da-beb2-035bd214a71c/Waylayer

[surreal storm]

I'll have terrormorph nests as one of the new locations for Explore Space, but that's delayed by a few weeks due to my artist being sick right now

[icy bramble]

This is cool. I hope this can be toggled for some of us milk drinkers who don’t want Terrormorphs flooding the game.

[surreal storm]

Sure. I'll add this as a stop gap and then once I (very likely) have to remake the station spawning for the next Starfield update I'll look into giving options of location pool customization

[jolly torrent]

Thanks!!

[jolly torrent]

SWEET!!! I can’t wait for this!!!!

[jolly torrent]

Way layer shouldn’t conflict with Tiny Reasons to Explore?

[icy bramble]

Not at all

[surreal storm]

In theory nothing should conflict with Explore. In practice I'm sure someday someone will release something that will however If there's enough demand I'll patch it just like with Desolation soon

[jolly torrent]

Thank you!
