Can't start with the mods? Check out our guide on how to fix the Starfield Mods not working issue.
If you are facing the Starfield Mods not working issue, you cannot use or load any available Vortex mods from NexusMods. With Bethesda director, Todd Howard, confirming the in-game mod support, it’s a bummer that players are facing this issue. They can neither manually nor use the Vortex Mod manager to load any mods into the game. This issue might be due to the custom .ini files of Starfield failing to identify as well as modify with the game’s main executable file (.exe). But don’t worry as we have compiled some workarounds to resolve the Vortex mods not working issue in this game.
Here are the best workarounds to fix the Vortex Mods not working issue in Starfield:
You can face this issue due to the lack of any required mod files in Starfield. As you head to the NexusMods, check if the loaded mods have any additional mods or required files to run. For that, check the description of your loaded mod on the site. If it does have any missing files, download (and install) them to resolve this issue.
As it worked out for many players, you can edit the StarfieldCustom.ini file to resolve the mods not working issue.
You can also face the Starfield mods not working issue if the loaded files are saved in the Steam folder. Due to that, the “.ini” files will fail to modify with the main executable file. So, paste all the mod files into My Games and the game’s main directory.
The Hardlink Deployment method ensures that Vortex Mod Manager saves your mod files within the game’s main folder.
