Given that the Steam requirements list a network connection as recommended (not required), DLC purchases seem likely.

#

The preload files for GamePass includes a CreationKit ini file. 👀

#

Doesn’t mean CK drops day one but I found it to be interesting. Then again, my threshold for “interesting” is quite low 🙃

I'd think the interesting part would be what may potentially be inside it, if anything. Maybe some new strings denoting new features, etc.

#

While I think it’s great that xbox owners can install mods it’s still limited. The truth is, it’s no contest - PC mods will always have a big advantage over closed systems.

rich kiln
#

We'll have to agree to disagree then. alterasmh

chilly prism
#

There are advantages to each platform. PC has memory manipulation capability but this requires lots and lots of time and reverse engineering of the game executable. While console can’t compete directly w memory manipulation, modding on console brings out the creativity in modders.

boreal thunder
#

The only advantage I see for Xbox owners is the ease of installing their mods vs PC owners where it can be a bit of a learning curve and perhaps a little time consuming. For me, I enjoy tinkering and the vast array of mods available for PC gaming. It’s all personal. 😉

I have never modded a Bethesda game before but have done other stuff, is starfield going to be using the same skeleton as there other games or do we know yet?

covert pelican
#

If you mean skeleton as in the NPC model, I wouldn't count on that. Each game makes improvements and changes to those that aren't backward or forward compatible.

thorny lark

#

From what I've read online it seems the Game Pass PC version of the game won't be as easily moddable as the Steam version, is this correct?

thorny lark
gentle basin
#

Does that usually mean the more popular mods will be available for both services but maybe not the smaller mods? Or is it just a complete toss up?

grizzled torrent
#

We won’t know until things come out. The Gamepass version for Skyrim and FO4 use the in game manager. I assume Starfield will have one as well if they do mod hosting for it on the Bethesda site. But we don’t know if they are going to host Starfield mods on the website

covert pelican
#

It's generally safe to assume a PC Game Pass version of a game is just like XB1 support. No script extender means you can only use regular mods. Which isn't a bad thing, that's easily 99% of what's out there anyway.

Making a game moddable requires providing users extensive access to game files and systems, which many devs don't like. It also requires extra work because you need to create modding tools for the game (usually by creating a more restricted and random-PC-friendly version of the actual dev tools that has no proprietary software and doesn't need a beefy workstation to run). Also allowing users to create their own content for free means there's less stuff that you can offer for sale as DLC/microtransaction since users will do more of it and better for free, unless you leverage the few things that you have and users don't (like access to the source code of the game letting you add or edit game systems in DLC on a deeper level than most mods).

On the other hand, modding support done right greatly extends the game's life since people can just install mods when they start to grow tired of the vanilla game and keep playing, and you also get plenty of users which only buy the games precisely because they are moddable and wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

#

Although to be fair the last "downside" I listed there may not actually apply unless you're EA-tier greedy and ruthless in your pursue of every single penny, because plenty of people seem to be fine with paying for Creation Club content either because they have no other choice (Playstation, and Xbox to a lesser extent) or just don't want to use mods altogether despite being on PC (which... to each their own, I guess). All of this while there's indeed mods that arguably do the same as CC files or better and for free.

#

Just ask yourself this: "would people continue to buy Skyrim by the boatload more than a decade after its original 2011 release if it wasn't moddable to the extent it is?".

That's your answer.

inland sparrow
#

Thank you very much

sharp echo

is it likely going to be possible to mod in exocrafts?

wise thunder
#

This question may be dumb but will there be mods for the next gen console ?

grizzled torrent
#

Fallout 4 and Skyrim are both available for next gen console and both have mods on nex gen consoles. Games prior to Fallout 4 release are currently PC-only modding. As this is the general modding, you’ll need to specify which game you’re inquiring about.

dim cobalt
#

hopfully we dont have to wait 6 months for creation kit this time

chilly prism

That never stopped anyone.

#

It should though, because the CK is the only good way to validate that record based changes you're making are actually going to work properly.

rich kiln
chilly prism
#

That’s true if your focus is on CK-related forms 🤓

#

Obviously what's most likely to land first are texture mods. Assuming nothing weird has been done to the types of files the game will accept.

We love modding at BGS, and we also make games particularly suited to modding.

It’s simpler to add mod support to a single-player game.

It’s easier to access new content in a game which is open-ended (or level based).

There’s more room for gameplay adjustments in a game with freeform gameplay over one which is highly tuned to a particular experience.

There’s more benefit to mod support when you have a large, diverse audience.

There are exceptions to all of these. Plenty of multiplayer games with modding, and niche indie titles with level editors. But, I do think there’s a back-and-forth between us loving modding and us making games that work well for modding.

can someone point me to some good beginner resources on how to get started with modding?

lyric cliff
#

Rimworld is a good example, it is expensive and easy to pirate, but modding is inconvenient when you have options like the steam workshop taken from you, and it probably takes some technical know how beyond most people at least to get these mods working on a pirated copy

#

Also most pirates just play on whatever version of the game first gets cracked, mods generally are made for the most recent version and are updated so that also makes it a pain in the ass

#

I think a lot of it has to do with origins of the company and stuff though. It is just kind of taboo to let your players see behind the curtain for most devs. Fighting games still dont let you see the hitboxes in game in 2023 and thats like competitive games where that stuff really matters. It is a risk as well and game publishers are massive ships that take a long time to turn and they dont have any incentive to sign off on that risk.

Texture mods or UI mods will be first. I’ll be working on UI tweaks when the game releases for us common folks.

I recommend Seddon4494 and Kinggath YouTube videos for F4, Darkfox127 for Skyrim (and it also mostly applies to F4 as well). If you can't find good stuff for F4 look up the same topic for Skyrim and that'll get you 99% of what you need. Assume that 80-90% of Fallout 4 topics will also apply in Starfield if you're trying to get a jump on learning to mod for Starfield. Starfield will build on what capabilities F4 already has, most likely a similar jump as going from Skyrim to F4 modding was.

Hello everybody! I am hoping to learn how to mod Bethesda games like Starfield which I will own on Xbox series s and pc via gamepass I did buy the upgrade to get earlier access. I am a complete newbie to modding however and really have no idea where to start or what programming language to learn. I have tinkered as a hobby solo indie dev for last few years but I never published anything I just tinker in no code engines like dreams on PlayStation, gameguru on pc, and so on. I decided that I am maybe not cut out to make a full game as I am by myself in country with cerebral palsy and such but I can get a very real taste of game dev world by making mods and possibly in future join a group of modders for big project

sleek pawn
#

So noob question. If I want to mod do I need to know programming languages at all?

chilly prism
#

Depends on what you want to do exactly.

#

Preexisting knowledge of a programming language helps w scripting. But it’s not a prerequisite.

gloomy leaf
#

I've been making mods for over 6 years and I can't script my way out of a paper bag but it definitely limits me and I've had to call on scripter friends to write stuff for me on more than one occasion.

#

that said papyrus is both simple and limited from what I've heard

sleek pawn
#

First, stuff like for instance importing my own character models and looks.

I asume adding a whole new planet will require scripting, apart from the assets needed.

gloomy leaf
#

adding a planet probably won't require scripting, just new records in the CK

#

character models/looks stuff doesn't generally require scripting either

#

most people consider 3d modeling harder than scripting so if you can already model and texture you're good to go 😄

sleek pawn
#

Adding vehicles into the game. That will be much more advanced I assume. Surely someone will try it

gloomy leaf
#

that may require scripting, it depends

sleek pawn
gloomy leaf
#

you'll find there's lots you can do just fine without scripting and if you network and make friends with other mod authors you can always swap work with one if you need scripting done

sleek pawn
#

Starfield is the first time I'm interested in maybe trying something

gloomy leaf
#

we all started somewhere 😄

#

I was just learning to make Skyrim mods when F4 dropped and I got hooked on F4 modding, never did make anything for Skyrim

for that matter I have enough things I want to make for F4 to keep me going a couple more years

Never played Fallout, but Starfield is definitely up my alley to try and in some cool things. No idea yet, but something will come to mind next week.

Effectively the same restrictions as on console AFAIK, with the nitpick that you might also be able to use mods from Nexus (or anything that doesn't go through Beth.Net/the ingame mod manager) as long as they don't require Script Extender or any other mod/framework that messes with the game code on runtime.

But I'm not sure if that last part still applies because I seem to recall people having issues getting the games to actually load those non-BethNet mods' files.

Stuff like potential DLSS mods that could become available? I have GamePass and I just need to buy the upgrade, but I wanna be able to have no limitations when it comes to modding for the game + I have the money on steam wallet cause I sold some CS skins. So I'm debating just going that route actually.

It will be more expensive, but atleast I'll have it for longer + I'm just using from my Steam Wallet, where I have an amount that I have no idea how I will be able to use 😄

dense tide
#

Adding DLSS support through mods would require injecting that code into the game executable on runtime, so that's 99.9999% guaranteed "nope" for the GamePass version.

If you want no limitations on modding you need the Steam version, no question there.

# dusky fox Will we still need to use nifscope with creation engine 2?

Most likely yes unless you have whatever 3d modeling program Bethesda used and that may be tricky since they tend to use older software which Autodesk at least is unwilling to provide. With time community tools will develop to do probably everything that doesn't require Havok in Blender. Hopefully there will be an official plugin for Havok related content like there is for Fallout 4.

Nifskope will most likely be the first working tool for Starfield meshes

Mod idea for Starfield: each planet is split up into a grid and you can only place one landing spot in each tile but each tile has a set seed that is persistent so you can visit the same area again and the terrain will always be the same no matter what. This could make exploration much more immersive and possibly allow on foot travel across the planet

This has probably been asked a 1,000 times over but is it confirmed whether or not Mod support will come to Starfield (Xbox) like it did for Skyrim/Fallout 4 and do we have an ETA on that arrival?

Not sure if it’s confirmed but it would be a bit odd if modding on console misses Starfield.

No ETA yet but once the tools are released for PC, I’d imagine Xbox will follow soon after.

how does bethesda game modding typically work?

grizzled torrent
#

You come up with an idea and add it to the game using official tools.

#

Then enable it with a manager. Skyrim SE and Fallout 4 ship with an in-game manager so it's fairly simple to add mods you've made to your game.

#

There are also third-party tools but many are still being decoded and reversed engineered even after all this time. Third-party tools are updated as new things are discovered.

ah so there are official tools, will there be tools for starfield?

grizzled torrent

I have not been paying attention to the official things since the 'deep dive' to avoid spoilers. However, in prior advertising, it was stated that Starfield will receive full mod support.

On the offchance that some Bethesda representative or a person with the relevant insight would read this: How would Bethesda feel about people attempting to decompile the script files ahead of the release of Creation Kit 2 proper? Speculations are also welcome. Can't wait to see if there are any new features to the language.

gloomy leaf
# past storm On the offchance that some Bethesda representative or a person with the relevant...

I can't speak officially for Bethesda and I very seriously doubt that any official Bethesda representative will make a statement about this on record at all. So I'll answer you with what has been the history of modding with Bethesda up to this point (which may potentially change due to being purchased by Microsoft since the last game release). To date Bethesda has turned a blind eye to people decompiling all asset files including script files prior to the release of the CK. To date Bethesda has turned a blind eye to people decompiling the game engine itself for the purpose of making script extender mods (and in fact has supported some SE work in the past). So I wouldn't worry about decompiling the scripts ahead of time. The Bethesda Archive Extractor folks are already working furiously on being able to extract asset files and a partially functional BAE is already out. I'm sure all the other community tool devs are also working like mad to decompile their own piece of the Bethesda modding pie as well, it just takes a little time.

gloomy leaf
# white hedge Will stanfield get mods?

If you're on PC there are already mods. Official Mods made possible by the release of the Creation Kit and being able to publish mods to Bethesda.net (and thus Xbox) will take longer. I was under the impression that PS4/5 won't have the game available but I could be wrong on that one.

Also FoV Slider, would be awesome. Do not put the PC Client on the same Console chains, pretty please 🙂

Any Starfield mods for ultrawide or resolution tweaking in general ?

Just uploaded an actual achievement enabler, this one removes all "Modded" flags on your save every auto/manual save instead.
Unlike the one available on nexus atm, this one works even after .dll removed (so updates wont brick your save) and can restore a modded save back to vanilla
I did not make this and its a repost from Sunbeam on fearless.

True, I wish there would be a mod that adds gamma/brightness sliders into the game options (should be possible? I don't know the limits of the Creation Engine). That would be helpful. Seems a lot of settings are already in Ini files, but for every change you need to restart the game, not so great.

My current issue in fo4 modded is the game keeps crashing. It first started happening after I tried the detector shades mod which sparked the entire issue (still playtesting to weed out whether that mod is the culprit or not) it started freezing my game while targeting hud was active and once I resolved this issue (that is prevalent in all the targeting hud mods I've tried since detector shades one so don't know if it caused it or if it's a common big) the game began crashing eat periodic intervals
First it was every minute then after some load order handling it is now crashing every 10 min ish but still annoying and preventative to my success
I've got a total of under 50 mb of mods active on PS4/5 and have them all placed in the recommended order

Any mod devs for Starfield? I have a suggestion... Mod that makes you pick a trait at certain level up, rather than at the creation of character.

Here when I look at the traits half of them are like "okay, but who or what the hell is that?".

I was actually somewhat surprised that it didn't come with the game. Certainly BGS has noticed how much clothing means to players - and how every game gets more clothing and item slots from mods.

#

I don't see why slot numbers are always so low. Oh well. I am 100% sure that we will see separated clothing items. It would have just been nice, if that came out of the box, instead of 4-5 conflicting solutions from mods.

Then i ran game, open console with ~ key and typed "ShowGlobalVars" or "SGLV" .. i tried outputting / dumping the results into a file using SCOF command but that didnt work. the guy from the link did it differently, he seemed to have extracted it from the starfield.exe itself and then ran in the console getini "setting:section" for the default values on all the variables. i'm not a coder myself so my knowledge is limited in that regard.

There's a difference between noticing and conceiously processing. You can absolutely notice above 60fps. Your brain however doesn't consciously process it, heck it likely won't even process more than 30 - you don't consciously process every frame, whether it's a screen or not, your brain fills in the gaps which is how interpreting motion works.
What matters though is you do consciously process the difference. Your brain will notice a bigger difference the more fps their is. People like 120hz monitors not because they can see 120fps, they can't. They like it because they can still notice the improvement. Science!

Makes the most sense too. Workshop is fine but it was never the main way to get mods, most people used Nexus and still do.
So makes sense they'd drop Workshop and decide to make their own mod platform with their games and community in mind.

they needed an alternative to workshop for xbox/ps and to maximise the mod population it needs to serve PC too.
but many mods (read: script extenders/nsfw etc) cant use that anyway so nexus and others in the PC ecosystem were always going to thrive, along with better tools/features like collections, wabbajack, etc

Starfield Mod Ideas

Mod idea 1: Outpost top-down view allowing for habs to be viewed without a roof from the top down for better decorating.

Mod idea 2: Ship interior previewer with the ability to choose where the ladders and doors are placed.

anyone is free to take these ideas and try and mod them when the time comes.

Hey guys! 👨‍🚀

# thorny lark is there a general channel for everythink?

This channel is for the topic of modding in general, or anything that crosses multiple games. It isn't intended as a catch all for everything, although as long as conversations don't get too deep, we don't mind game-specific questions here.

Until we had a dedicated channel, this was the most appropriate place for discussing Starfield mods, and we recognize that topic built up some momentum here.

#

In fact, it may be worth moving this channel to the bottom, and Starfield Mods beneath News, to help get things back on track.

What's the steps to re-archiving a ba2?
I unpacked a ba2, changed a texture and repacked as a new archive with just the new files. This file overwrites the old one entirely when I install it though, understandably.

I'm wanting to repack as a ba2 though so people can download it through Vortex. Currently, modding texture files is done manually, if you download with Vortex it goes to the wrong place.

Hard to say what the word mod means. I guess it could be from the word modification or something...

real sphinx
#

Warfighter does appear to be using a much tighter definition than most. But then, a lot of folks don't consider INI tweaks to be mods either, whereas plenty do. There's nothing wrong with viewing the term "mod" a bit differently, as long as you recognize it isn't uniform, or try to impose.

Limiting mods to those personal tweaks that include a plug-in seems reasonable enough, although it's more limiting than how I personally view it.

vague harbor
#

Yeah I have a different definition than most might use, just my opinion though.

#

Though the original statement was about whether mod support exists for Starfield - it doesn't. Not yet.

vague harbor
# gentle owl why dont you consider a texture a mod but a mesh is a mod

Meshes, textures, materials, sounds, animations, scripts, there's a lot more that goes into modding than what's currently enabled, just because you can replace a texture in a game file doesn't mean that there's mod support for the game. Or perhaps I'm just viewing it from a more locked in point of view since I've been modding Bethesda games for years now.

There is a lack of official tools and unofficial ones too while at it but the game is moddable in my eyes nonetheless. 🤷‍♂️
And ye, slapping textures here and there doesn't require much in itself. I guess the brunt of that is making the textures that you slap in there that irritates me to "not be considered a mod".

Flipping textures around is modding, its not large or perhaps complex modding as scripting or adding new things. But it is modding. It's a modification of the base asset, hence its modding.

Current tools are not available for anything larger, and the current .esp/.esm files around are hex editing which is fine as long as the person is confident and knows what hex they're editing. Regardless, modding would be a lot easier if Bethesda just relased the CK2 Tools at launch, instead of probably 6months later like with Fallout 4. 02Shrug

XM4 is good but Creation Engine is very limited in what it can do

For example

If you attach an integrated suppressed barrel and you remove the muzzle attach point it does that

But when you equip a different barrel it doesn't automatically equip the muzzle back on

Same with upper receiver mods and optics

It's very tedious

Hey guys, so.... once the mod creation tools gets launched I am thinking about working on a mod that allows people to place all sorts of clutter more efficiently and lock them in place, in Starfield. (If possible!)

I am writing this post for 2 reasons, 1 I want other Modders to think about this too and perhaps someone might create a better alternative than mine. (Basically sharing the idea..) and 2. I want to know if the community even wants this.

I am planning to launch the mod on PC and then port it to Xbox asap!

Kind regards. 🙂

grizzled torrent
#

Place Anywhere and Place Everywhere exist for Fallout 4 so good luck to you. It's been too long since I played with Place Everywhere so I do not know if the functionality is in it but Place Anywhere allows for locking into place. However, due to how Havok physics work, upon cell reload, when objects settle, they drop below where they are placed. This can be countered by reloading the cell to fully lock the object. (At least on Xbox.) The object will return to the original location on second load of the cell.

#

I do not know if it's possible to look at papyrus scripting yet, I'm avoiding looking at the game files to avoid spoilers, but if it is possible, look for a script named something like disablehavokonload and that might tell you what you need to do for such things.

#

Fallout 4 has DefaultDisableHavokOnLoad and DefaultAliasDisableHavokOnLoad. If you cannot access Starfield's scripts yet, you can have a look at Fallout 4 or Skyrim. Skyrim also has DefaultDisableHavokOnLoad. Just keep in mind as you're studying them that the physics work a bit differently between games where friction and tensors and a couple other elements work.

#

As an aside, you would not be able to use the script extender for Xbox/Game Pass PC support and you may want to reach out to Registrator2000 for guidance. Place Anywhere on Xbox is both scripting and UI/AS3 edits.

We're currently waiting on both the community and official tools. Nifskope is being worked on but it's not super simple as they radically changed the way 3d models are handled this game. See here for technical details. https://github.com/niftools/nifskope/issues/232

Starfield support (PSA) · Issue #232 · niftools/nifskope

I'm making this issue primarily as a PSA to anyone hoping for or expecting quick turnaround time for Starfield support. TL;DR - I can quickly get files loading in NifSkope, but nothing would be...

Materials are also handled differently which was expected

I literally just tried it out for myself, and it's working fine. Have you updated your game, or are you using the Windows Game Pass version?

Hello there folks. I'd like to request sliders for a particular actor but I'm not sure where to do it.

Is it cool if I request here?

Is there a mod that connects all inventory boxes?

#

I wish we could remove mods from weapons that we find and use them on other guns via the weapons work bench.

It sounds nice, but I feel in Fallout, that basically made the perks to learn to do the upgrades, largely unnecessary

Hello. What are you doing comrades?

There any mods to always force the landing animation after your first landing in an area yet?

Is it me or did they get heavily influenced by some of Dead Space’s Necromorphs for some of the enemies

Question, ReactJS, Vue or Angular. What would be easier to learn if anyone knows?

Are there any mods to make ship interior designs permanent. I can’t redecorate every time i upgrade my ship.

Okay. Just reading it it says steam users and doesn’t say anything about gamepass. Just wanted to make sure.

Anyone else completely failing to get starfield mods to work on Vortex?

It isn’t just the binary that gets updated

Ah makes more sense. I read the auto back up then went to the sfse description and basically answered my own question. Will SFSE eventually have access to the game pass version or will it be something completely different for it?

It's not very likely given how Microsoft locks that stuff down.

Why no multiplayer.

Not every game needs multiplayer.

What a perfect mantis roll for carry wieght and health?

This game seems weirdly closed for an open world game

Like you go to a planet and idk if im really even going anywhere if i just keep running

The game hasn't even been out a month yet. It's completely unreasonable to expect a mod that normally takes years.

full on multiplayer mod would require taking a ton of code to do with players and ships and everything and making it so the game can handle multiple player-controlled ships/characters at once and sending the data between clients, will definitely take a long while

Hello, I had a question about installing mods on starfield, does it disable achievements even if it was small changes like the UI?

I wonder if it's possible to redo the NAT train system in New Atlantis. Something like The Ascent would be nice, where you have to wait a short amount of time for the train and the loading screen is replaced with your character on the inside of the train like in the Ascent. A mod for this would be cool.

Does anyone know if there's a mod that can hide the companion in the photo mode of Starfield? I like that you can hide your character, but it would be super usefull to hide the companion as well in those situations.

I’m working on a mantis mod, starfield what’s a villain name and description that works as a parallel to the mantis

low eagle
#

Beetle

solar bison
#

I mean Mantis has some natural enemies including hornets, spiders, Ants, bigger carnivorous insects but etc.or also

It itself eats basically everything that’s smaller then itself including other mantis.

Gordian worms are some parasites they can get.

Though I don’t think just taking an animal counterpart would work just right.

I guess it should fit with the theme of the villain why is he a villain what is his social status etc.

At least one body mod author I know is waiting for proper tools to extract mesh files. Currently the only option is to extract to obj via a command line interface and I don't know if meshes can even be converted back to the type Starfield uses yet. This is still very early in modding days, it takes time for the community tools as well as the official tools to be made available to mod authors
