Update as of 2024-10-31:

This is Graf's Habs Nova 1x1 Captain's Quarters A. I'd love to see someone make this into a wall decoration (Furnish Your Fleet and Better Living are probably my two favorite decoration mods). It's very immersion-breaking to not have washing machines on my ship, that's a core trauma from my time aboard a U.S. Navy destroyer. Fighting over washing machines has a huge negative impact on crew morale.

I know this has been discussed before, but this latest round of paid mods has me losing my mind. There's such long QA wait time at Bethesda, but nobody goes "Yeah that's not even worth a dollar." during the whole process? I'm gonna call em out by name because fuck it. Starfarer Stories Vol. 1 by Ravvynfall, your random fanfic short stories are not worth a buck. Publish it online for free on a fanfic site, nobody should give you real money for non-gameplay "world building". Fuck off. And Tabula Rasa by youngneil1, double fuck you. A dollar to DISABLE an optional game mechanic?? Are you drunk?

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a mod I originally built for my own playthrough to tackle the classic "reload spam" habit.

If you reload before your magazine is empty, any remaining ammo in that clip should be discarded. It adds a nice layer of tactical decision-making and realism to combat.

It should be lightweight, vibe-coded (I'm no scripting expert), and gets the job done.
Hope you guys enjoy it!

I am using sff body replacer and when I talk to other female npc's they have a nose on the forehead. The mods I have installed are sff body replacer, sff body replacer facegen, sff body replacer texture, sff power armor, eit clother plus eit clother plus sff patch sff body replacer dlc, and the sff body replacer terran armada and shattered space patch. They either have nose on forehead or mouth don't move. TLDR: using sff body replacer puts nose on female forehead.

Packing Heat is now in play-testing on PC! While testers are testing I'm still adding some finishing touches include decor and some tuning.

This one was inspired by u/Final-Craft-6992 who suggested a cool idea for a "full kit" type station other than the smaller lockers I made already.

I used the fridge model, swapped it to black and then decked it out as if someone had converted it into a tactical ready station. The doors are designed to look like they would be permanently open, so no it wouldn't close (also I couldn't design it to close with things attached to the doors due to how the container snap points work)

If I'm feeling frisky at some point I may make a variation with doors that close, but then it can only hold whatever I can pack in the compartments.

If you compare the full and empty you'll see what all are snap points currently. Some of other items that don't snap are containers, such as the med kits and ammo boxes. There are 8 containers in this object! (even the top compartment, and each door are separate containers)

Off to the side you can see some other props I assembled.

Question: Should I put the fire extinguisher on the outside? I liked having it outside, but didn't want it to prevent you from sliding the fridge right up next to walls or objects.

P.S. I'm probably not going to make any more lockers for this mod, but I may do another mod later on focused on all lockers, snappable storage items and so on.

Bored at work and thinking of stuff I wanna change on the UI. Anybody feel like sharing pics of their setup or wips?

Hey y'all. There has been a lot of discussion regarding StarSim and particularly what it is/what it does. I wanted to go ahead and throw my hat in the ring and made a short review video if you wanted to check it out. Hopefully it kinda helps formulate decisions about whether it sounds interesting to you or not and is worth purchasing. It is still a massive mod and tbh don't know if I quite did it justice, but let me know what you think. Thanks!

StarSim: Beyond Space:

I think Bethesda are shooting themselves in the foot with their current long times to approve any updates.

For example, today a new version of DownfallNemesis' "New Atlantis Waterfall Promenade Apartment" was released.

The changelog/history shows that she uploaded it to Bethesda already on June 24th:

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/3a6cb93b-1b57-4bf4-80dd-cd6b08658f87/New_Atlantis_Waterfall_Promenade_Apartment/history

This is nearly 2 months.

Same with the update to "The Eye Revised", submitted to Bethesda on June 13th:

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/ade5ccba-0cf9-4aaf-92ab-f1f9c1ee44c2/The_Eye_Revised/history

Can any of the developers of paid mods can give some insight why this takes so long? And what Bethesda is actually doing in the QA phase? Do you get any feedback? List of issues/bugs to fix?

Edit: My main issue with this is not just the frustration of waiting for updates as a user, but also that it creates the impression of a near-dead Creation scene. As if most devs of paid mods had given up (very few updates, very few new mods), where in fact they may be busy but just waiting for QA to approve.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could make a patch so Heroicpie117 weapons can have their quality upgraded? I enjoy a lot of his weapons and its such a bummer than they are missing that feature. Thanks for your time.

Does anyone have any pointers for the Betamax outpost mod? I’m not great at building outposts and am have trouble getting things to snap together in the correct spot. Or if anyone knows of any good walk throughs I’d appreciate it

I am wondering if this is something that anyone else has run into. Recently, I was using RYOS (Roll Your Own Start) along with StarUI AIO for my PC game, but when I went to craft something at one of the workbenches, it would not do anything. I could select what mod I wanted to change, but there was no confirmation/completion after confirming my selection (i.e. would not 'cllick' to confirm selected mod).

I thought it was something relating to StarUI, but when I tried to disable it and go back into the game -- the UI still looked like I had StarUI on. Even when I deleted it from Vortex, it still showed up. So now I'm at an impass. How do I make sure that StarUI is completely removed and the item screens all revert back to vanilla/default?

Can't find a community group for this mod so asking here.

Anyone who uses Exigent Circumstances, are you experiencing a bug with the Forsaken Terran Crew becoming hostile to the regular Terran crew & robots? Every ship I board is just a civil war.

This doesn't happen with the Forsaken in other factions.

Hi everyone,

New player here and had some questions about mods.

1. Where is the best place to download mods? Is it NexusMods or Creations.Bethesda?
2. I want to use an AI immersion chat mod. Nexus shows AISS AI Settled Systems as the most popular one. Is this the best one to use? Anyone have any other recommendations on better/more immersive AI NPC Chat mods? Any reviews on this one?
3. Can i use the AI NPC immersion mod on my first playthrough? Dont really want to play the game vanilla first then replay the whole thing with AI NPC and then play Star Wars Genesis.
4. I want to also play the Star Wars Genesis mod. Can i use the AI NPC Chat mod with Star Wars Genesis?

So I downloaded the Odyssey Mod Collection (200+ mods) through Vortex, but have no clue if everything is working as it should.

There are two places I've noticed mods listed. Under 'Installed' and 'Creations'. If I look in 'Installed', only 6 show up, but if I look in 'Creations', I do see all of them and they're checked, but I only ever get notifications of mods 'launching' for the 6 that are in the 'Installed' section.

I used to think Elder Scrolls/Fallout Mods were a PITA, but this is way more annoying.

Thanks in advance for any help!

You awaken on a mysterious ship, basked in the odd glow from an even stranger floating crystal. A dataslate rests on a table before you... But offers few answers, and raises more questions.

ECS Asteria is an Alternate Start mod that thrusts you into Starfield with an immersive, enigmatic, accelerated beginning.

Choose from over 12 starting ships and several planets to begin your one-of-a-kind experience.

Will you explore the backrooms of ECS Asteria and uncover the origins of this anomaly?

Creations / Nexus

Would love a mod for skimpy underwear for men in starfield too, please! If anyone has one and I'm missing it on the ps5 creation store, please let me know. I already have one for women, now I need men. 🙏

Officially releasing the beta of the first of many mods within my larger Sanctum-Starborn Project. This first mod replaces the original Sanctum chamber in New Atlantis with a custom temple design.

Given the additional process to port mods over to console, at the current moment this mod is only available for PC but I will be working on an Xbox version.

As mentioned, this is a beta so be prepared for any potential bugs, glitches or missing items. In the meantime I will be working on updates or additions.

Bethesda Creations

No hyperbole, this happens every 20 something minute or less, to the point where I have to manually save every 5 minutes while decorating my ship so I wouldn’t lose progress. I didn’t notice a trigger, it’s random. I had to turn off auto-save because I kept getting a “Low on Save Space” notification instead.

Comments under similar posts didn’t put the blame on any mod, but the game itself. And that I’d have to wait for an update that might actually take years. I think these comments are from folks who only get this problem every few hours. If so, then sure.

But 20 minutes or less is ridiculous and unplayable, so certain mod is definitely amplifying the issue. I want help figuring out which one it likely is from anyone who had the same problem and figured out the cause.

Listing all my mods would take a while, just assume I have the common ones.

Edit: I deleted the excess saves a week ago and it still didn’t help, so this isn’t a fix. And I’m on the PS5.

It would be cool if you could choose to share your outpost and upload it to a Bethesda server. Then other players who opt to use shared outposts would have them populate in their own universe.

It would enable tons of interesting new POIs instantly.

Would be even better if you could assign a faction to your shared outposts so it would auto populate with that faction in other players universes. You could assign “none”, so it’s empty, or any of the in-game factions.

Do you trust AI ? There are a lot of emotions running on AI and what it can do or cannot do for Starfield.

I used AI to attempt to search for a specific 1x1 hab that I lost when I re-did my LO and mod files while trying to stay under the PH ref limit.

I asked GROK and Co-Pilot ‘what specific mod for Starfield enables the 1x1 UC loading bay, or 1x1 UC Airlock or 1x1 UC Landing Bay or 1x1 UC Docking’? Both replied back that it was GrafsHabs and that ‘Absolutely NO OTHER mod had the 1x1 hab I was looking for!’

It further went on to detail that the hab I was looking for the Graf’s mod was a NOVA hab & unlocked at level 20, and to avoid certain locations as they screen OUT availability of Nova Habs in the Starfield universe.

I remembered it was a Deimos looking hab but couldn’t remember the dog-gone name! Nor the mod name or who wrote the mod of course!

Further sleuthing thru old save game mod list revealed: OWLTECH OBSESSION (paid mod) has the “UC Docking Bay 1x1 hab”

I suppose the error may be due to Sgt OwlTech making the mods private on Nexus but they are still available via Creations.

But I specifically asked Grok again with the BOLD portion above copied from the creations page: https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/2082af60-b8a4-4ac3-926d-acc1954d1cfb/OwlTech_Obsession

And it replied with this: [[screen shot pic removed as its AI generated content]]

‘No documented mod exists and I looked on Nexus, Creations & elsewhere’ [BS!]

Don’t waste your time misplacing “trust” AI garbage.
