In Starfield you can use dozens of mods to customize it to your liking or even expand the content. However, we will show you 5 mods here that do not bring major changes but make the overall game much better.
Which mods are they? Just this week, over 1,000 mods have been released for Starfield. However, the ones mentioned here primarily focus on improving the gameplay experience. There are no major adjustments or skipping of game content but rather the addition of small comfort elements:
- Instant Scan – All flora and fauna are instantly found with the first scan.
- StarUI Inventory – Makes the inventory clearer and allows you to sort by various aspects such as weight or rarity.
- Craftable Ammo and Utilities – This mod makes ammunition, digipicks, and medpacks craftable.
- Simple Faster Walk – Increases the movement speed of NPCs that you should follow or that should follow you.
- Starfield FOV – Expands the field of view in the game.
Do the mods work on all platforms? Basically, the mods only work on PC. Official mod support for Xbox is expected next year. It is somewhat different with cheats, which you can transfer from PC to the console.
How do you install the mods? The exact installation procedure is explained on the respective mod page. We will introduce them to you in a bit more detail below.
Instant Scan
What can the mod do? Those of you who want to fully map the universe of Starfield need to perform a lot of scans since the game has more than a thousand planets and moons. This task is made more difficult by the fact that flora and fauna usually need to be scanned multiple times to fully capture a planet or moon.
Thanks to the Mod Instant Scan by JustAnOrdinaryGuy, it is enough to perform a single scan to discover everything.
StarUI Inventory
What can the mod do? The inventory in Starfield is considered rather complicated and confusing. The Mod StarUI Inventory by m8r98a4f2 changes your inventory so that it is displayed in a clear list.
There you can also sort the items by type, weight, or value. For example, healing potions or other important items can be found much faster. There are also adjustments for weapons, such as the ability to sort by available ammunition or burst damage.
Additionally, you can press the SHIFT key to buy or sell entire stacks of items directly and make some optional adjustments.
Craftable Ammo and Utilities
What can the mod do? Crafting is not necessarily Starfield’s strong suit, also because there are obvious things that cannot be crafted. Here, the Mod Craftable Ammo and Utilities by pitufocabeza can help.
This mod allows you to craft ammunition, digipicks, and medpacks, which also relieves you of the annoying search for these items in the chests.
Simple Faster Walk
What can the mod do? In almost every game, NPCs that move too slowly can be annoying. Whether they should follow you or you them, the computer-controlled creatures usually move slower than you.
The Mod Simple Faster Walk by somberX solves this problem. It ensures that the movement speed of NPCs is increased by 30% or even 50%.
Starfield FOV
What can the mod do? The field of view (FOV) can be adjusted according to your preferences in most modern games. In Starfield, this is not possible.
Therefore, the user hellstorm102 developed the Mod Starfield FOV. It works in both first-person and third-person views.
