Great suggestions, I use a bunch of these and I agree these are next-to must-haves. If I were to recommend at least one it would be Dark Mode for Terminals; being blinded by screens while playing in a dark room made me not want to open screens.
some of those visual effects make the game much more appealing as well as some of the quality of life mods really make the game seem much smoother and immersive!!!!!
Great to see vids like this. Would love to see more! Piggybacking off of your flashlight tech comment, you’d think a world this advanced would also have a basic coordinate system. Can’t wait for that mod! A suggestion as a new era begins. Maybe state which mods need script extender, lots of new mod users are surprised when their downloaded mod won’t work with game pass.
Great point. I also do really like that idea because despite Starfield taking place hundreds of years in the future a lot of the technology does seem lacking and very much so stuck in the 21st century
As someone who has never modded a game except for how you can mod skyrim through the main menu, what is a good guide to start modding for real. The mods available through the actual game seem very limited compared to what I always see in these videos. Glad to see people out here still supporting this game. I remember skyrim when it first came out and I have veneers high hopes for this game in the next few years!!
I'm also excited to see where modders take Starfield in the coming years. If you're looking for a good guide to start modding I'd recommend the "MODDING STARFIELD (PC) - A Quick Guide" over on Gopher's channel.
The UI screams. "we hate PC players, this is a terrible PC port from console. We hate you, go to h$$ PC players!" Try moving dozens of wires and links in an outpost with a keyboard.... You can't just place objects wires etc with a mouse like a normal person. It's unusable! A ln insult to PC players.
You do? I don't remember needing to fix oblivion or skyrim, nor fallout 4. You're confusing "needing to fix" with "being able to fix". In most games I have features that I dislike and would like to change; what makes Bethesda games different is that they allow people to (and have the community willing to) change those things. Sadly not many companies are as open to modding as Bethesda; maybe because of people like you who view modding as this uninspired thing that is only used to fix bad features.
8:10 Actually, I’m a user experience designer and centring text is not advised for long texts because your eyes have to look for the beginning of the sentence.
I’m running every one of these with an exception of reshade which I use photorealistic with neutral lut. A few I’d add that I can’t live without now are - slightly better map icons and slightly better weapon icons. Along with StarUI Configurator.
You can tell a lot of people have weird expectations of triple A studios and have no idea how they operate. Pretty sad when they turn around and criticize the game for having a budget.
I just wish the planets weren’t so barren. In Fallout 4 you had ghouls and everything else, but now you have a herd of aliens every 500ft so that’s not fun.
Great vids, i suggest a video about water, water is so bad in Starfield there are some good mods already out there like latest Lunar Water is pretty good, maybe you should do a comparison video about it so people will go by preferences and also cause some water mods cover everything ( like water falls and foam ) other don't
Love the vid, i would like to see more though you have missed some mods from the description like undelayed menus, faster favourites menu and craftable ammo and utilities.

I used the mod to craft ammo since it came out but recently disabled it. It just made getting rare ammo to easy for me. I know it's subjective and I'm not saying the mod is bad it's just that for me finding vendors that sell the ammo, or looting it, just feels better to me. I'm also the person that doesn't fast travel, I even walk through my ship eveytime. So obviously I'm insane 🙂
I know it s an outdated video, but it's very good man. Helped me out find some mandatory mods ! especially for the UI !! COULD YOU PLEASE UPDATE IT AND DO ONE MORE starfield is getting back man with the CK
I will have to test out some of these mods.. but I will say having a 3070 paired with a 3440x1440p ultrawide is rough. I play the game on low settings at the moment just to get over 60 FPS.
I'm also using a 3070 running on mostly high game settings and get consistently above 60 FPS, although I'm on a 2560x1440 display. The only mod mentioned in the video that should have a noticeable impact on fps is the reshade mod. It cost me roughly 5 fps on average, so I'd recommend not using that one if your tight on fps.
In No Man's Sky, we had the ability to call another starship or our current ship to our location, meaning we could switch ships on the fly. In Starfield, if you dock to a ship, kill off it's crew, then make that ship your Home Ship, then you see your ship fly away home.... Does it do that Remotely, or is there someone on board? Why can't you just have that same function Bring you a ship? Glad someone made a mod that does Just That!
To add to that, the inventory should stay with each ship. Would love to see a battle cruiser size or freighter like NMS as well. I want a space base, and ships to fly off of it. hmmm, would help with lore for ship swapping as well. You can only call down ships that are in your base ship in orbit. ah, the possibilities
Call Your Ship mod has been superseded by the "Summoning of Ship" mod by wSkeever, which has a much better implementation compared to "Call Your Ship" mod. wSkeever, in general, has an excellent set of mods
Wskeever 's "ship script" patch fixes a massive bug that stops npc 's spawning in ships and thus causes the "matters of the hart" quest to be uncompletable. This modder is a legend, saved the game for me !!
You’re absolutely right. I didn’t discover Summon of Ship until after I had finished making this video, so I wasn’t able to include it, definitely the better option of the two as expected from Wskeever
I must say Summoning of Ship is hard to install correctly on an existing save. It doesn't add the controlling item to the inventory in some cases. It is very capricious when assessing if the chosen spot is flat enough for landing. Call Your Ship is, on the other hand, is failproof.
My understanding of the workbench ammo manufacturing restrictions is that they weigh nothing. Because of this, if a player were to manufacture a thousand rounds, they could sell all of them and they wouldn't take up space on the ship at all. This would be a game breaking, infinite credit method, which is why they don't allow it.
Part 2! Part 2! Part 2! Also, I desperately want some kind of mod that will address ladders on ships and room/ship/look previews when building and constructing
Once mods become officially supported on PC, when the mod tools are released, then Console will have mod support. That'll likely be sometime in February.
i installed the ui and menu mods pretty early on so don't remember the vanilla version. It is staggering to see the vanilla version now and realize just how bad it is and how, not just good, but OBVIOUS the mod solutions are. most of the mods I use are actually just adding in features that should have been in the game in the first place. I like this game but it sure as hell wasn't done and i am sure the devs knew it. They figures, and they are right, that modders will fix the game.
Two quick questions: 1. Are All of these available to be installed from Nexus using Nexus Mod Manager? 2. Most Skyrim mods needed a third party script extender "SKSE". Is there some similar common library that is needed by starfield in order to install these mods? Or can they simply be installed as is?
All these can be installed with the mod manager of your choice whether that be NMM, Vortex, or MO2. Some of these do require the script extender, a good rule of thumb is to check the requirement section on the mod page before you install it.
@@DoctorNostalgiaMods I am a veteran mod user with Vortex (what I meant to say in my original comment) for Skyrim, but hadn't used it in many months. Based on this video and your reply, I have now updated my Vortex install, made the game moddable (with the custom .ini file), installed SFSE and the Address Library, and installed many of your recommended mods. Very appreciative!
I use the mod Baka Achievement Enabler to keep achievements from being disabled after adding mods. As far not breaking your game, you can avoid a lot of issues by doing your due diligence by reading the mod page descriptions before installing.
They should make a mod for the docking cutscenes that just reduces it to the part where the ports connect or detach and not the entire approach or departure. Same with taking off in a way, I’m fine with the landing but I don’t need to see the whole leaving the part after the takeoff I can understand the cutscenes as a design choice, as annoying as they are, but idk why they made them so long
I hope some of these mods get mod management updates. Some of them are Manual only. After 2,000hrs of skyrim, 4,000hrs of fallout 4, I am just tired of manually managing mods.
Im not so sure about the shell casing mod. Most of the weapons in the game are caseless, like the maelstrom. It doesn't really make sense for it to be spitting out caseless shell casings.
Those animations... I just can't believe how Bethesda can have playtested this game and still think that the cockpit getting up/sitting down animation is a good thing 🤦♂
well, time to download the 25 mods that i won't see doctor nostalgia playing without
Great suggestions, I use a bunch of these and I agree these are next-to must-haves. If I were to recommend at least one it would be Dark Mode for Terminals; being blinded by screens while playing in a dark room made me not want to open screens.
Perfect timing on this I just recently started modding Starfield. Thanks for the mods!
some of those visual effects make the game much more appealing as well as some of the quality of life mods really make the game seem much smoother and immersive!!!!!
I couldn't agree more and I'm excited to see far modders can push Starfield in the future
Great to see vids like this. Would love to see more! Piggybacking off of your flashlight tech comment, you’d think a world this advanced would also have a basic coordinate system. Can’t wait for that mod!

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Came here to say this! Actually so nice to listen to, combined with great content
High-Vis Crosshairs is one of my favs. I mainly play stealth and distance shooting so it's much easier and realistic.
Amazing quality! ❤
Thanks ❤

So many crazy mods. Ive played over 200 hours now and have only used dlss so far. Cant wait to try these out.
It's crazy because the creation kit hasn't even been released yet, modders have really only just scratched the surface.
I’ll definitely use these mods to improve my game and I love the mods u find and test for us
The thing about a Bethesda game is that you have to fix it before you can play it.
The true Bethesda experience
...and yet they can find time to fix exploits after the first two weeks of release.
The UI screams. "we hate PC players, this is a terrible PC port from console. We hate you, go to h$$ PC players!"
Try moving dozens of wires and links in an outpost with a keyboard....
You can't just place objects wires etc with a mouse like a normal person.

Oh man , i just started playing this game and the first thing that came to mind is MODS thanks for sharing mate !

Actually, I’m a user experience designer and centring text is not advised for long texts because your eyes have to look for the beginning of the sentence.
Wow, this was a really good list! I will download and install every single one of these, thanks!👍
Waiting for the mod that changes Starfield into something that is not Starfield.
I’m running every one of these with an exception of reshade which I use photorealistic with neutral lut. A few I’d add that I can’t live without now are - slightly better map icons and slightly better weapon icons. Along with StarUI Configurator.

Noo frrre
Awesome video, I'm going to add a few of those. I'm using the recycler mod, it adds the ability to recycle anything you pick up at a work bench.
You can tell a lot of people have weird expectations of triple A studios and have no idea how they operate. Pretty sad when they turn around and criticize the game for having a budget.
Doubled Enemy Numbers 5x
Universal Stash
Dead Body Collision
Part 2 please!!! Great video!
I just wish the planets weren’t so barren. In Fallout 4 you had ghouls and everything else, but now you have a herd of aliens every 500ft so that’s not fun.
Imagine when the Creation Kit comes out.
13:13 The problem here is that only Old Earth weapons should have casings eject at all. All of the regular ballistic weapons use Caseless ammo.
That mod only applies to Old Earth style weapons, so you don't have to worry about other weapons uncharacteristically ejecting casings.
Are you Adam Jensen? 👀 The voice is so similar!! Nice video!!!
great video, and I have watched a ton of these. Anyway we can get a ship build mod video
Great vids, i suggest a video about water, water is so bad in Starfield there are some good mods already out there like latest Lunar Water is pretty good, maybe you should do a comparison video about it so people will go by preferences and also cause some water mods cover everything ( like water falls and foam ) other don't
Good point. I had originally planned on including a water mod, but it slipped through the cracks at some point during production
Love the vid, i would like to see more though you have missed some mods from the description like undelayed menus, faster favourites menu and craftable ammo and utilities.
Thanks for pointing that out. I just updated the description
The in game colour filters are supposed to represent atmospheric based colours.
Without the filters it also looks less atmospheric(no pun intended) especially in the cyberpunk city.
Did u do a collection in nexusmods?

The hell man ,such a simple mod like call your ship can make a world of difference. How in the hell did bethesda not think to add that breaks my mind.
Great mod list thank you❤

starfield is getting back man with the CK
No plans at the moment, but I'll likely make another video on it at some point down the line. Glad you found the video helpful :)
almost every one of these mods just makes me question why they aren't base game

6:59 - the ui can be compacted by turning off large ui in the setting. You don't need a mod for that
I can't wait for weather mods
im so excited to see the state of starfield modding in like 5 years from now
Same. It's crazy to see how much modders have already accomplished and the creation kit has yet to even be released
@@DoctorNostalgiaMods if it even gets half as many mods as Skyrim it will be a massive success in my books
@@tripalink Completed my first run recently and now im patiently waiting for the first big mod breakthroughs to drop. Legit can't wait for it all :)
@@MusabreYeah, I'm doing a mod free playthrough the first time around. Mostly because I expected more patches to come out in the first few months...
Instead of wondering about the flashlight, I wonder why in the future low light enhancement, FLIR or heat vision is not a thing.
Heat vision is there. You mean muon detection modules.

Its the first time I've watched a video of yours, you kinda sound like Sam Coe xD
Hopefully by the time it goes on sale modders will have fixed most of the major issues.
I have a few of these, but I’m reluctant to seriously mod the game until the tool kit is released
Please someone make a mod that lets you listen to the radio or something of the sort hence SSNN or whatever.
I'd love a radio with a variety of stations.
Turn your music off and use your own
Are there any mods that replaces or removes the inserts
Nice list! 👍
Thanks :)
Yes to part 2 please.
Noob gamer here, can you apply these mods on the xbox console,and if so how?
Once mods become officially supported on PC, when the mod tools are released, then Console will have mod support. That'll likely be sometime in February.
Luxor has an amazing constantly updated HD texture rework mod.
A simple QoL mod I want is a mission board at the Red Mile for smuggling and theft, I mean procurement, missions.
Can’t wait for these mods to be available on Xbox
Question , are all these mods(or most of them) for PC?
uhhhh ... Weijiesen is back with EXE , he didnt make any mods for FO4 its nice to see him back for Starfield
What’s the armor set your using ? Looks like starborn armor
Do mods negatively affect FPS, and do they need to be updated every time there is an update to the game ?
The only mod that should have noticeable impact on FPS is the reshade mod, which cost me on average about 5 FPS
Dude, you sound like the voice actor for Sam Coe.
What the hell, your voice reminds me Sam Coe for some reason
Undelayed Menus conflict with inventory mods, why ? any help please

having issues with reshade, unfortunately it wont let me download any packs.

Thx, tried all of the different ways and can't seem to get them to work
bro whats your armor? the black one? it looks cool af
Mods still working after updates?
They should have a mod for this video :" more interesting narrative voice "
The game looks stunning without the filters
any mods for more quest and content would be great. I can care less about visuals. Add more cities and companions and quests for god sakes
What's the armor he's wearing that has that cape / cloak ?
where does one find mods sources? as this is new to me.
Having to enhance the textures of a Bathesda game in 2023, Bathesda have clearly peaked in game design

What's the armor he's wearing with the cape?
your voice sounds like a character from a video game but i cant remember who i know it was a shooter.

so good! i nearly ship myself......
Jensen is that you ?!
When are we getting some sort of creation club on Xbox?
There's no concrete release date, but it will be at some point next year
I see Adam Jenson made a gaming youtube channel ;)
I hope some of these mods get mod management updates. Some of them are Manual only. After 2,000hrs of skyrim, 4,000hrs of fallout 4, I am just tired of manually managing mods.
Pathetic how lazy the game developers were.
Really stupid how low the stores have in credits wasting so much time selling stuff.
Has anyone not mentioned you sound exactly like Sam Coe?????
You sound like Sam Coe in starfiled
Console players crying into their pillow at night, having to wait until 2024 for mod support.
These are great mods. It is embarrassing that Bethesda is still being outdone by modders.
What armor are you using at 7:39?

Thank you!
In 2033 consoles will get mods with the third release of Starfield Anniversary Edition.
This title is great 😂
Im not so sure about the shell casing mod. Most of the weapons in the game are caseless, like the maelstrom. It doesn't really make sense for it to be spitting out caseless shell casings.
That mod only applies to Old Earth style weapons, so you don't have to worry about other weapons uncharacteristically ejecting casings
Those animations... I just can't believe how Bethesda can have playtested this game and still think that the cockpit getting up/sitting down animation is a good thing 🤦♂
Question when will mods come too console player’s?
There's no concrete release date, but it will be at some point next year
