Achievement Enabler
The Achievement Enabler is the most essential mod if you want to utilize the various mods, cheats, and console commands in Starfield. Despite using the cheats, this mod allows you to earn achievements as you progress.
Enhanced Player Healthbar
With lots of space combat, tracking your health bar can be forgettable at times due to its minimalistic HUD. You can fix that problem by using the Enhanced Player Healthbar mod that dynamically changes the HP bar’s color when it depletes. It will alter your health bar’s color at 75, 50, and 25% displaying the colors you have chosen.
Run Forever Silently
While in space, the oxygen can often run out when the odds are against you. The Run Forever Silently is an ideal Starfield mod that offers you nearly unlimited oxygen as you run in silence.
Clear Bounties
The Clear Bounties is a perfect mod if you have the 5 big-time factions gunning you incessantly down due to the bounties placed on your head. All you must do is simply paste the bat file and use the correct console command for it.
Less Spongy Enemies
For the players that prefer exploration over combat, the Less Spongy enemies mod can help you get rid of all the damage-soaking hostiles. As the enemy NPCs gain a health bonus every time they level up, this mod allows you to tweak their health. While it only applies to the newly spawned enemies, a cell reset can entirely change their health pool.
Quantum Reshade
Although Bethesda’s Starfield has groundbreaking visuals and graphics, many players differ from this viewpoint. And that’s one of the major reasons, the Quantum Reshade mod was created by the modder named HelloImCrimson on NexusMods. Compared to the original, the colors are much more vibrant and offer an enhanced emulation.
Easy Speech
No matter what dialogue option you choose, the Easy Speech mod allows you to pass all the checks. As you progress, choosing the right dialogue for your character can sometimes be tricky. For such scenarios, lots of players prefer Save Scumming to get the required results. But if you are troubled by these various checks, Easy Speech can help you get out of the hassles.
Nicholas Cage Flashlight by Brandoman
Be it the surface world or space, you can find Nicholas Cage everywhere including Starfield. With modders splurring out their creative juices, you can try out the Nicholas Cage Flashlight mod whenever or wherever you feel lost in the dark. Once you install this mod, it will replace the vanilla flashlight with Nic Cage in his full glory.
Easy Digipick (Lockpick)
Here’s where the Easy Digipick mod can come to your rescue as it allows you to ignore the mini-game completely. While picking locks with Digipicks is a relatively easier gameplay mechanic, some players might want to skip the mini-game entirely. As it requires perks. you can instantly get the necessary rank by typing a console command – player.addperk 2ce2e2. However, this can disable your in-game achievements, so ensure installing the Achievement Enabler mod, as well.
Better Movement Speed
If you feel the jogging or sprinting motions are slightly off in Starfield, the Better Movement Speed mod can help you with a smoother experience. Further, this mod also offers a better experience when aiming with a mouse or controller.
More Flashlight Mods by Maquinaremos
For the players having fun with their flashlight mods, the modder maquinaremos upped their game with two mods. These include the Phil Spencer and Bill Clinton Flashlight mods that replace your vanilla flashlight. Alongside these funny mods, you can also try out the Sarah Barbie mod that replaces her outfit with a Barbie jacket.
The Eyes of Beauty
You will recognize the Eyes of Beauty mod if you have modded Bethesda’s Fallout and Skyrim. But unlike those mods, TEOB is an entirely different mod specialized only for Starfield. This mod offers new textures for your character’s mods replacing the original textures.
Undelayed Menus
The Undelayed Menus mod offers many improvements for quicker responsiveness and efficiency of Starfield’s in-game menu. This mod removes all the fading effects in the vanilla version and replaces them with a 60 FPS Menu refresh rate.
Garfield
Just for the sake of the rhyme, the Garfield is one of the silliest mods in Starfield that we have discovered so far. It simply changes the game’s name to Garfield as the beloved orange tabby cat looms over the Main Menu.
Starfield Performance Optimization
Once you install the Starfield Performance Optimization mod, you can set the display settings to Ultra. When Todd Howard, the Starfield Director was asked if the game was optimized for PC, he answered you may need to upgrade your PC for this game. But for the players that can’t upgrade their PCs, this mod can save you with FPS drops. As stated by the DKNEXUS11, the creator of the mod, this mod offers more FPS and less graphics quality losses.
Cleanfield
For the Starfield players looking for a minimalistic Menu, the Cleanfield might be a perfect pick for you. This mod removes any intro videos with epilepsy or seizure warnings at the start of the game. Along with that, here are all the things Cleanfield mod offers:
- No Bethesda Logo Video
- No Bethesda Logo
- No Message of the Day
- No Starfield Logo
- Customizable
- Vortex Support
StarUI Inventory
Offering a compact display style, The StarUI inventory mod improves all inventory screens with Item category icons. With many quality-of-life features, this Starfield mod offers better Inventory Management to sort your items.
In-game FOV Changer
Although changing your Field of View is possible, the In-game FOV Changer mod allows you to permanently change the in-game FOV. With the limited FOV settings or options, many players felt the lack of this setting in the game. If you are one of those players, try out this mod to tweak your FOV in Starfield.
Mantis – Deadpool Recolor
The Mantis – Deadpool recolor mod is a perfect pick if you are looking for some changes with your spacesuit. This mod replaces your Mantis outfit with a redesigned and recolored version of Deadpool’s superhero suit.
Responsive Grabbing
If you are tired of the one-second delay while grabbing resources or bodies, the Responsive Grabbing mod can help you cut down that time. This mod reduces that time to 300 milliseconds making it more responsive and faster to gather anything.
