Update 0.6 for Starfield, at September 25, 2023. Large update. What's inside:

- Nearly 100 new mods (marked with ==NEW==). Make sure to check "Essentials" section too as there are new mods there as well.

- Installation instructions for CCR mods added ("Essentials" section again) and some instructions improved visually.

- Multiple existing mods received better alternative (mostly the .txt bat mods upgraded to CCR mods), were replaced with those. When replacing .txt mod with CCR one, before installing CCR version, make sure to remove the .txt mod and delete its bat command from your StarfieldCustom.INI

- New section, "Weapons & Armors", where all mods related to changing both visual and gameplay-affecting aspects of these, will be listed. Retexture mods for armors and weapons were moved to this section.

- Improved instructions and notes in some sections.

Update 0.55 for Starfield, at September 2023. What's inside:

- 46 new mods (marked with ==NEW== so you can spot them easily), including new performance improvement and bug fixes, so make sure to check "Essentials" section as well.

- Several sections refurbished and extra mods installation/configuration instructions added.

- Note: if you've updated the game lately, make sure to also update your SFSE and all SFSE-based mods (most notable - Baka Achievement Enabler, Classic Sprint, Sprint Suttering Fix and Enemy Friendly Fire) - most of them in general were already updated by their authors.

Initial alpha release, version 0.5 for Starfield, at September 2023.

Future updates:

- Regular weekly updates.

- Modules

- Corrections of links/typos if needed

- When the CK is released and Starfield will move to a new stage of modding, I'll roll out a major update.

- To report the issue (typos, broken link etc) or to make a suggestion - please drop a message in #suggestions_room in our Discord server.

1) Make sure your game is NOT installed in Program Files/Documents/any other system folder. Answering possible question - yes, Program Files (x86) is the same. Why so? Most of game clients suggest to istall there by default! True that, but unmodded and modded game are two different things. When game is modded, there are many additional files which didn't exist there in first turn, overlays like Reshade/ENB or script extenders/injectors, etc - and it's needed to be ensured that system has full access to all of them. Program Files is a system folder, and because of this modded games can be often messed up without you even knowing that - so to make sure it won't happen, install your game anywhere - just not in Program Files. If it's same drive that has your Windows installed on it - it's ok too, just once again, not...well, you got it :) With Steam, you may just want to create an another Steam directory out of Program Files, and install Starfield there.

2) Make sure no active overlays, AVs, firewalls and various "boosters" are running. Disable Steam overlay. Make sure your AV (anti virus) software is disabled or at least has Starfield, your mod manager of choice and SFSE (a bit below) added to the whitelist. Same goes for the firewall, if you have it - and this also applies to Windows Defender. Lastly, make sure that you don't have any kind of "boosting/tuner" software enabled - such as Afterburner/RivaTuner etc, and that your GPU software (like NVIDIA Geforce Experience or AMD analogue) doesn't have "optimisation" settings enabled for Starfield. Note: NVIDIA overlay is known to be fine so you can use it to track your PC performance when playing, if needed, as well as making screenshots and recording video pieces.

3) [Optionally yet highly, strongly and crucially recommended] - download and install Sublime Text. It's a simple yet powerful text editor - similar to Windows native Notepad, just many times better. It's very cozy and makes editing various configuration .INI files (which you'll need for some mods here and there). It's free and reliable, pleasant to the eye (unlike the hideous Notepad) and serves millions of people for many years.

4) Launch the game once before intalling mods themselves. Simply launch the game once (not needed to start the walkthrough, just run the game till the main menu is opened, and then exit) to make sure that base game .INI files are generated.

5) Use my StarfieldCustom.INI file or values from it. At this page header, click on the zip button and download the "StarfieldCustom INI file" as shown here. Unzip the archive. Now, go to "\Documents\My Games\Starfield". If there's no "StarfieldCustom" file there, just place my file here. If you already have this file, then make sure you have the same lines as from under [General] and [Archive] in my file and paste those if you don't have them.

6) Check your game after each few mods installed. Always make at least a basic check (launch the game - load a test save - fast travel somewhere/start a random combat/open character menus and inventory) from time to time in process of modding. This is needed to prevent situations like if something goes wrong (improper mod installation, weird conflict or even just corrupted mod files during download) but you having no idea what and when exactly because you last time checked your game way to long ago. So, simply check your game often enough to always keep the hand on pulse.

7) Develop this good habit when it comes to meeting a bug in modded Starfield ↓↓↓↓↓ When experiencing a game issue which you think is related to mods - don't rush to report it as bug to the first mod you think it's coming from. Replicate it a few times, try to remove mods few by few and see when exactly the issue goes away - it often happens that what you have thought of being a bug from a certain mod at first, may be not even related to it to begin with or be not a bug but a feature which you just personally don't like. Mod authors not always can help with every possible issue because they can't surely know about how exactly their mod will work together with all other possible mods on the stage. Tldr, often "bug" reports made without a proper check will only confuse other players and bring yet another report of the issue which has technically nothing to do with the mod itself. Always apply common sense, narrow down the culprit carefully and respect the time of people who make this game better <3

8) Disable Starfield autoupdates. Game updates are usually a good thing in general. Yet when it comes to the modded game, such update may or may not mess up your mods. If that's not some major update that brings up new DLC or something on relatable scale that you absolutely can't live without, it's strongly recommended to not update hastily. In most of cases, SFSE-based mods can stop working properly, and some others as well. The best choice here is to hop in to our Discord server and ask there.

9) Activating .txt and .esp mods Note: This is needed only for .txt file mods and for mods that have .esp plugins. Loose file mods (meshes, textures, sounds, animations) are just drop-and-forget.
As for now, once again, Starfield modding is still at the beginning of its path, so some modding aspects are not most comfortable - but if you want to mod the game now, you need to understand these details.
TXT mods: Require "activation" in form of a certain command line being added to your "StarfieldCustom.INI" file, like this: sStartingConsoleCommand=bat DifficultyTweaks, where the "sStartingConsoleCommand" basically means "apply the next console command when the save is loaded" and "bat DifficultyTweaks" (just an example, can be any other) means "apply the settings from the .txt file of the Difficulty Tweaks mod". Thing is, you can only have one such line in general, so, if you'll be using multiple mods of such kind (that's almost guaranteed), and want them all to work properly, you'll need to "merge" the commands.
Let's say, you have 3 mods for which commands are "bat DifficultyTweaks", "bat BigBadonkers" and "bat ToddSeducesMe". All you need to do is to write them all one after another, separated by the "; " (wihtout quotes), so the resulting line should look like this: "sStartingConsoleCommand=bat DifficultyTweaks; bat BigBadonkers; bat ToddSeducesMe".
Extra tip: the bat (whatever) command name is the same as the mod's .txt file name. So, if mod .txt file is named "OnePieceRocks.txt", then it's command for the StarfieldCustom will be "bat OnePieceRocks" (just without the file extension). That's it!
ESP mods (classic Bethesda plugins): These are mods with .esp extension plugins. After you'll place such plugin inside the "Data" folder, you need to add this line to your "StarfieldCustom.INI" file: sTestFile1=JJBA5.esp (just an example, plugin name can be any) under the [General] section.
If you have multiple mods with .esp plugins, let's say JJBA5.esp and HellsingOVA.esp, then it should look like this: sTestFile1=JJBA5.esp first, and in the next line, sTestFile2=HellsingOVA.esp, and so on - as many plugins as you need listed there, with "TestFile" number being 3, 4, 5 etc. In the end, it should look like this this (don't mind the numbers to the left from these lines, it's just the UI markup in SumblimeText editor). Remember: as there are lots of parameters in your StarfieldCustom.INI as you're going through modding process - do not just paste StarfieldCustom.INI from the mods - always paste needed lines yourself inside your own file. Done!

1) Install SFSE. If you allready have it - great. If no - install it. It's obligatory. SFSE is [essential]. Many stability and innovative gameplay mods are working through it. Consider it a basic invisible evolution element of Starfied.
Download the archive somewhere manually, unpack it. From the folder, get the .dll and .exe files, as showed here, and place them to your Starfied folder. (the root folder where Starfield.exe is, not the Data folder). From now on, launch your game only via SFSE (sfse_loader.exe), not the game regular launcher.
Now, go inside the game "Data" folder and create "SFSE" folder in it. Then, go inside this freshly created folder and create a "Plugins" folder in it (without quotes). This folder is used to install SFSE-based mods like shown here. Well done!
Note: if the "blank" SFSE shortcut icon bothers you, get this or this ==NEW== to set and icon for it (follow the instructions in the readme/mod page).

2) Install Address Library for SFSE Plugins. Starfield updates usually break SFSE-based mods. This plugin makes it easier for mod author to make such mods to work independently from the game version. But it's still needed to be installed for the player as well, so do so:
Place [all] the .bin files to Starfield SFSE plugins folder.

3) Install Baka Achievement Enabler. This one is needed for ingame achievements to work with the modded game, as by default, mods disable achievements.
Place the "BakaAchievementEnabler.dll" file to Starfield SFSE plugins folder.

4) Install Modfix. As for now, one should install Starfield mods that change vanilla assets (like meshes and textures) into the "Documents\My Games\Starfield\Data" folder instead of a game "\Data" folder, which is quite uncomfortable. This little tool creates a "link" between these 2 directories so you can intall mods to a "normal" (ingame) data folder as usually for other Bethesda games. Make sure to open the mod page's "Docs" tab and follow the instructions there. You only need to do it once, it's "do-and-forget" action.

5) Install Console Command Runner ==NEW==. An SFSE plugin that automatically runs user defined console commands on startup. Needed for steadily growing number of mods below in the guide. Place the .dll file to your Starfield SFSE plugins folder. Now, go inside your SFSE plugins folder, create a new folder there, and name it "ConsoleCommandRunner" (without quotes) like shown here. Nice.

6) Install SFSE ASI Loader. Needed for some mods. Place "SFSEASILoader.dll" file to Starfield SFSE plugins folder.

7) Use Starfield Performance Optimization. Game graphics settings tweaks for a decent FPS boost without a quality loss on Ultra graphics settings preset. Unzip the archive and place the file from it into your Starfield root folder, approving overwriting. Next time you'll launch the game, make sure to switch the settings preset back and forth to your one (for instance, set preset to Low and then back to Ultra, if using Ultra) to make sure changes are applied.
For other presets rather then Ultra, try this one - installation principle is the same.

8) [OPTIONALLY] Install Disk Cache Enabler. Use disk cache for IO for less disk activity and improve performance if Starfield is installed on HDD. If you're playing on SSD, there won't be much difference, most likely (or just a bit) - but for HDD, this one is is super effective. Download the SFSE plugin version and place the .dll file to Starfield SFSE plugins folder.

9) [OPTIONALLY] Install Starfield.exe Auto-Backup. Game updates break SFSE and mods based on it. This tool will automatically store your different versions of Starfield.exe files in backup folders. Now you will always have a backup of your executable in case you unintentionally updated your game via Steam, so you can use it instead of the updated Starfield.exe temporarily till SFSE and related mods will be updated.
Place the "auto_backup_executable.dll" file to Starfield SFSE plugins folder.

Now, install all the mods from a list below. They are plenty, but each is absolutely essential in different ways, be it bug fixing or must-have QOL improvements

60 FPS - Smooth UI Increases the UI files to 60 FPS, for a smoother and less jittery user interface and menus. Get the FULL version and place the "Interface" folder to Starfield Data folder. Showcase here.

Place the "Interface" (that's already a 60 FPS one) folder to Starfield Data folder. You can completely configure every mod feature in the .INI file, or just use one of the presets provided by the author (read about that at the mod page).
Optionally, after you've installed this mod, you can install retextures for some of the mod's icon which make them look somewhat more vanilla-like. Place "Interface" folder to Starfield data folder and approve overwriting. Mod showcase here. Enhanced Dialogue Interface There are LOTS of dialogues in Starfield, so let's make time spent in them more cozy. Enhance your dialogue experience with a wider, refined and centered text area, improved text clarity featuring a subtle shadow for better readability - all without annoying transition animations. Also, there are several visual appearance options, optional possibility to choose dialogue options with the keyboard keys and some configuration available. Place the "Interface" folder to Starfield Data folder. You can configure the mod through "Enhanced Dialogue Interface.ini" file inside "\Interface" folder. If you want to have the "Post War" or "Vanilla Like" visual apperance, download the preset file and replace the "Enhanced Dialogue Interface.ini" file. Ingame showcase here.
It's not imperatively necessary, but highly recommended (as they work great in tandem) to also install this mod for improved subtitiles look from the same author. Installation way is the same, and you can configure this one through the .INI file as well.
Lastly, if you don't have time or don't want to fiddle with the configuration files, you can get one of many beautiful presets (.INI files) available here ==NEW==.

Place the .dll file to the Starfield SFSE plugins folder. Starfield Silent Voice ==NEW== A SFSE plugin that adds support for unvoiced in-game dialog added by mods. There are no such mods right now, but this one sitting inside your game folder will not do any harm nor affect performance, and when such will be released - you will already have it. Place all mod files to Starfield SFSE plugins folder.

Icon Sorting Tags - Starfield Edition Add a small icon in front of lootable items in the world and inventory, so it's easier to see what is what to help with inventory management. Place the "Interface" folder to Starfield Data folder. Ingame showcase here. Undelayed Menus Download the first main file. This mod's goal is to significantly improve the user experience by enhancing the responsiveness and efficiency of in-game menus. Place the "Interface" folder to Starfield Data folder and do [NOT] overwrite (there will be a conflict with StarUI files). Then, open the StarUI Inventory.ini file and "bInstantOpenCloseAnimation" value to 1 instead of 0. Press CTRL+S and close the .INI file. Less Intrusive HUD and Better Crosshair Modifies a few combat HUD elements for a better experience. Look on the mod page images for demonstration.

This mod is just a configuration tweak to the "StarfieldCustom.INI" file you already have. Thus, do NOT replace the file itself with this mod's one - simply copy the lines from the mod page and paste them inside your own existing file.

Choose one of the mod versions (4 hour version recommended) and place the .toml file to CCR folder. Powerofthree's Tweaks SFSE ==NEW== Collection of various gameplay tweaks. Read the mod page for the list, to see if you need them. WIP mod, with more tweaks to be added. Place the .dll and .INI files to SFSE plugins folder. Responsive Grabbing This mod cuts that frustrating one-second delay when grabbing objects and bodies to just 300 milliseconds, making your game more responsive and enjoyable. This mod is a StarfieldCustom.INI settings - do not replace your own StarfieldCustom.INI and follow the mod page instructions to paste the needed lines yourself. Better Alt-Tab Stops the game from opening the pause menu and becoming inactive when using Alt-Tab. This mod is also a StarfieldCustom.INI settings - do not replace your own StarfieldCustom.INI and instead paste the values from the mod file into your own StarfieldCustom.

Baka Quick Full Saves Turns Quick Saves into normal Saves to give you a better control of your walktrhough if needed. Place the .dll file to Starfield SFSE plugins folder. Note that it's still not recommended to spam the quicksave way too often as there's a hardcoded limit for number of saves in the game, which is 100. Ship Builder Tweaks A bunch of tweaks that make the ship builder more enjoyable and responsive to use. Includes faster and further zoom, faster panning, faster rotating, smaller snapping distance and more floors. Place the mod files to the Starfield root folder.

This mod fixes that by pulling the camera back further. Good for larger ships. Place the mod file to the Starfield root folder. Then, look for the activation instructions on the mod page. Slower item rotation Loweres the rotation speed when placing objects with the workshop (e.g. decoration) for smoother placement. Place the mod file to the Starfield root folder. Then, look for the activation instructions on the mod page. Customizable Climbing Animations (Ladder and Mantle) Tweak how fast you can climb on ladders and other objects (mantle) to your preference.

Clear Imagespace Modifiers ==NEW== Use this mod if you have certain imagespace modifiers (lens, blurred vision etc) "stuck" at your save no matter what even when changing cells and planets. Get the CCR version and place the .toml file to CCR folder. Disable Low Health Visual Effects Disables the visual effects (red pulsing dof distortion effect) when you're on low/critical health. Do not replace your own StarfieldCustom.INI and instead paste the values from the mod file into your own StarfieldCustom. Hide Spacesuit in Breathable Areas Hide Spacesuit on Ships Hide Spacesuit Anywhere Several similar cosmetic mods that make the "Hide Spacesuit in Settlements" option to work either in different places (or everywhere completely). Choose one. Both mods are installed in the same way: place the .esp plugin file to your Starfield Data folder, and then activate the plugin in your StarfieldCustom.INI file (if you're not sure how to do so, refer to "Preparations" section). Note: this feature was not foreseen by the game regular behaviour, so there can't be 100% guarantee it won't cause glitches in some areas - test your game in different locations first on separate save.

Note: technically, all .toml/.txtf mods are fully customizable even if the mod page doesn't mention this - you can change the values in the mod .txt file using your text editor. But ofc, for complex mods like combat AI overhauls, you need to clearly know what you're doing - otherwise, it's better to not touch the values.

In-Game FOV Changer Lets you permanently change the FOV In-Game, from 70 (vanilla) up to 120. Place the mod files to the Starfield root folder. Then, look for the activation instructions on the mod page. Less Heinous Leveling XP Curve Smooths out the leveling curve, making higher levels less grindy, while remaining close to default at lower levels. Pretty much a must-have mod for a long walkthrough. Choose one of the mod versions (difference explained on the mod page), place the mod .txt file to the Starfield root folder. Then, look for the activation instructions on the mod page. Ingame showcase here Use this mod or the one below. CCR - Auto Faster Leveling ==NEW== Alternative to the mod above, this one simply makes leveling in general faster with different options - from x1.25 to x10 faster. Choose the mod version you prefer and place the .toml file to CCR folder. Simple Difficulty Tweaks A difficulty mod for starfield that hanges the damage the player and enemies take, as well as enemy health late game, basically making both you and enemies less spongy. Simple changes that make a good difference. Note: you'll take MUCH more damage on Hard and Very Hard with this mod. Download the "DifficultyTweaks.txt" file first, unzip the archive and place the .txt file to the Starfield root folder. Then, open your "StarfieldCustom.INI" file (the one in "\Documents\My Games\Starfield") and, under the [General], paste the "sStartingConsoleCommand=bat DifficultyTweaks" (without the quoutes). Press CTRL+S and close the .INI file. If you already have the "sStartingConsoleCommand" line and something else with it, just follow the bat commands merging tips above. Done!
Combat and Stealth AI Overhauls ==NEW== A much more complex (but at the same time, fully modular, so you can only grab parts you think you need) approach which involves not only damage modifiers, but also noticeable improvements to enemy AI for both open combat and stealth. If you were also baffled by the utter stupidity of the enemy AI in this game (well, it's honestly hard to call this AI to begin with), then try this mod. Get either AIO version or the separate standalone "module" files of the mod. AIO version is updated to CCR version - place the .toml file to CCR folder. For standalone versions, place the .txt file/s to the Starfield root folder. Then, look for the activation instructions on the mod page. Mod showcase here.
Note #1: If you'll be using this mod, the mod above is not needed. This mod also covers damage modifiers, but in more balanced way (which makes sense, as enemies will be already stronger because of the improved AI).
Note #2: if you'll be using several standalone files instead of AIO, make sure to add activation bat command line for [each] of them to your StafieldCustom INI file.

Rudy ReShade for Starfield In my humble opinion, the best Starfield Reshade preset. Amazing balance of colors, brightness and shadows, supports for all popular LUT mods (see below) and different versions inside the same preset - natural, vibrant and cinematic. And on top, already configured (but disabled by default) DOF (depth of field) and Letterbox (cinematic black bars) options if you need to make some stunnign screenshots or record video pieces. Try it for sure! Real Starfield ReShade ==NEW== My second favourite so far - a really well balanced, hihgly cinematic preset. Deep Detail ReShade Gives your game a sharper, cinematic, darker look with deeper shadows. Quantum Reshade One more well-balanced preset. Looks pretty similar to the preset above, while bit a bit less darker and with a bit of a blue tint. Has several versions that are somewhat different from each other - try a couple. Deep Space ReShade Desaturated cinematic preset. Deep Space ReShade ==NEW== A preset with an attempt (as limited as it's possible now) into a photorealism. ON TOP RESHADE Vibrant, color-boosting preset. Natural Life - Reshade Balanced preset focused on realism. SpacesDark ReShade VERY dark preset likely not suitable for most of players, but would be good for hardcore lovers as you'll need a flashlight most of the times with it. Viper's screenshot and gameplay ReShade Cinematic preset with cutsom DOF, good for screenarchery.

Installation: mods in this section will have either "Textures" (in most of cases) or "Meshes" (in some cases) folders, or (rarely) the files with ".ba2" extension. Place this folders/files to Starfield Data folder - it's same for all the mods here.

LUT mods:

NaturaLUTs - Color Graded Filter Removal and Black Level Restoration LUTs Neutral LUTs - No Color Filters Base LUTs Stellar LUT Gravity LUT NAS - Natural and Atmospheric Space ==NEW== These ones are not to be confused with Reshade presets. LUTs are color palette texture file collections. You can use them without Reshade at all, or use together of the preset of your choice to furtherly adjust colors in your game. Some Reshade presets, for instance, Rudy Reshade, are calibrated specifically for certain LUTs. To install any of these, place "Textures" folder to Starfield Data folder.

Ingame showcase here. More Dramatic Grav Jumps Changes grav jump animations. Now they play longer and with more dramatic views.

Already at Medium/Low graphics settings preset but still not enough FPS? Some mods and tips for low-end (older/not so strong) PCs to improve your performance. At the same time, if you feel you could use a few extra FPS even if your rig is powerful, you can still look at the options here.

Starfield Texture Optimization - Overhaul This mod is meant for low-end PCs to help improve performance by downscaling textures to lower resolution compared to the base game. Choose either 1k version (2 files), or rather 512 or even 256 version, depending on how much performance help you need. Place the ".ba2" files/s to Starfield Data folder.

Alternatively, you can also try this settings for Medium and Low presets, as well as this and see which one will give you a better boost.
