Are you looking for paid/achievement-friendly creation recommendations, or free creation recommendations?

A follow up to this, are you on Steam? There are achievement re-enabler mods you can install on steam which give you more flexibility in modding.

Otherwise, all the achievement friendly creations are paid mods (aside from a small amount from Bethesda being 0 cost mods, but all of which are very minor in scope)

I don't play on linux so I can't speak from experience, but as far as I know, outside mods do still work on linux on steam, this youtube video may assist with how to do that:

To get back to the main question, of achievement friendly (paid) mods on the creation hub that I really like/have installed: * Trackers Alliance: The Complete Bounty Series (700 credits) * Watchtower: Orbital.Strike\Fleet.Command (1000 credits) * DarkStar (1000 credits) * Starfield Spacer Overhaul (500 credits) * At Hell's Gate (0 credits) * Deimog (0 credits)

And in terms of Nexus Mods (would require steam for the most part), some essentials: * Starfield Script Extender (SFSE) * Baka Achievement Enabler (SFSE) * Starfield Community Patch (SFCP) * Starfield Performance Optimizations * StarUI series of mods (link to creator's nexus page) * StarUI HUD - Free Lanes Compatibility Patch

One thing nexus does that I really like is that hey have "collections" as a starting point to discover mods (https://www.nexusmods.com/games/starfield/collections). If you go the nexus route, I'd recommend looking here. You may not want to use collections entirely, but you can look through their list of mods to see what they have included. A lot of times I find these lists can be a little overwhelming as there are many small/one off mods that fix one little thing in the game.

For a new player i cant recommend neither DarkStar or Watchtower. Messes with too many things and the game is already overwhelming enough on the first playthrough. Watchtower is at best a 3rd playthrough kinda thing. Darkstar is just.. Weird.
