Transform Your Starfield Experience: Top Xbox Mods for a Fresh Start!

[@SpectrGamingg]

MODDING PSA, PLEASE READ: I've been advised by multiple comments to recommend the COMMUNITY Starfield Patch instead of the unofficial one. Here's a link! creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/a11a0cdf-5abb-4a59-9e12-e261e5aae8d5/Starfield_Community_Patch

[@JVMMauro]

The last time I tried to install mods through xbox I had a bug that when I installed a good amount of mods, activate, change the loading order, close and go back to Creation it kept showing Reload for a long time at the top of the screen. Preventing me from making any modifications to the loading order until the mod is disabled without uninstalling. For me to get rid of this problem, I had to delete the entire subdirectory of the mods in the storage settings.

[@skyriminspace]

Yeah, but why? Arthmoor have been sorting out hundreds of bugs in Bethesda's games since oblivion. I've got their patch for starfield now (as they're a name i trust having relied on their skyrim patch, & fo4) & everything's fine. Competition is great. But slandering someone's efforts without substantial reason sucks. I'd love to hear what Arthmoor has/have supposedly done wrong tbh.

[@TheRealSlimo]

@@skyriminspacewhat do you mean substantial reason? lots of people have said that lots of bugs in their playthrough was caused by arthmoor’s mod.

[@skyriminspace]

@@TheRealSlimo ok so that tips the balance in favour of that particular mod being problematic, but then what about the countless other users who have had no such problems, such as myself? Tips the balance back the other way. What i object to is the "witch hunt" mentality which you can find everywhere on social media for just about every cause imaginable. It's why i ask for substantial reason. I've read about it on reddit & ok, people have personal beef with the lead guy, but that says nothing about the quality or functionality of his or his team's work. They have made some absolutely incredible mods for skyrim. Idgaf about the politics. Modding is far from an exact science & it is absolutely fraught with peril. You have millions of unskilled people using often hundreds of code-editing plugins, often not correctly ordered, often trying to edit the same piece of code. Many of them don't bother to read the mod's description/instructions. Most modders are self-taught amateur hobbyists, their work isn't subjected to testing before it's available to the public. End users are the testers. Both the unofficial patch & the community patch due to their vast scope, touch hundreds (thousands?) of pieces of code. It seems to me optimistic at best that someone running at least twenty or thirty mods (including the arthmoor patch) could pin the fault on that one mod, unless they uninstalled it & the problem immediately went away. How many have actually done this i wonder? Meanwhile there are still thousands of us out here running his mods with no issues. I think it's personal for some people, & they managed to "get the word out" & now it's a witch hunt. Reminds me of people wanting to tear down Emil Pagliarulo.

[@broadsidedarth7801]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Arthmoor's mods. Been using them for a decade. Ya, you might need a patch here or there but that's it. I'd trust his work over some rando any day.

[@dionpierre5847]

I know finding gameplay and immersion mods isn’t easy but these are the best mods. Please make more videos like this

[@SpectrGamingg]

More are on the way! ☺️

[@djrxmx]

Spectr, finally someone posts an intelligent mod list for Xbox users. There are a lot of KZbinrs that have tried to do this, but with trivial and rubbish offerings. Your suggestions, however, are a breath of fresh air. Thanks, man.

[@SpectrGamingg]

I appreciate the kind words! I'll make sure to keep the mod lists coming ☺️

[@skyriminspace]

Spectr always did great mod lists for skyrim, & i think they were ps4 specific too? Not sure on that last part but he always dug up decent mods no-one else seemed to be covering.

[@Old__Odin]

The new hair, beards, and outfits are the kinda stuff I was waiting to get.

[@SpectrGamingg]

There's a few to choose from now!

[@RememberTheFalklands]

Bought the game on release for my Series X but, it was also competing against Boulders Gate 3 (on my PS5). Played it - here and there - over the space of a few weeks and got bored (BG3 had killed Starfield for me). So, I unistalled it. Watching your mod video (excellent selection, incidentally) made me wipe the dust off my controller and fire up my Xbox. Thanks for your vid 👍

[@SpectrGamingg]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! There are definitely more mod vids coming soon!

[@S1DEK1CK74]

Hey just to note! I used Unofficial Starfield Patch and found out from multiple mod developers that it breaks mods, this mod makes other changes to meshes and can break whole saves, I have been suggested the Community Starfield patch, only fixes the bugs and doesn’t change other game files unnecessarily. Also once Bethesda fixes the known bug they remove it from their own patch. Works and does what it needs to!!

[@SpectrGamingg]

Thanks for your suggestion! I'll add a pinned comment and a note in the description!

[@MrAnarchyMarine]

Arthmoor is known for making large changes to parts of the game that he feels don't make sense in vanilla, and yet his changes often make less sense than vanilla, as in Skyrim he for instance, changed the ore of an entire mine, breaking the lore of the game, because he felt that ore made no sense in that location. He does this with all of his unofficial patches, and people hate him for it. The same happened with Fallout 4s Unofficial Patch.

[@jeradob]

Can confirm. After removing the unofficial one, game wouldn’t let me port out of the area without it crashing and in a couple instances, straight up restarting my console (XBOX-S, don’t judge) and I get it’s not hard to make that little thing “squirrel!” Out sure, but I had to uninstall and reinstall the entire thing just to start a new game. Before it’d be the never ending pinwheel .. so, crashing borderline posessing bc I haven’t run into a game yet that’s made it hard reboot before or I can just watch the loading icon forever 🤷‍♂️. Tried removing reserved files and it did nothing to help, I’m not sure if it leaves a trace even after you delete it, like a false script waiting for the process to initiate and it takes the wheel into a ditch? Sorry I’m rambling. Had to uninstall, purge all SF stuff and basically reinstall it all over just now got it up and running again after a few hours…fun stuff

[@Jayhawker2000]

Thanks for this video. I'm just giving Starfield another go and this will be a big help getting me started.

[@SpectrGamingg]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@greenebronze]

For anyone having issues with the Smarter space suite auto hide, you still have to go into your spacesuit in the inventory menu and choose to hide it in safe places, otherwise the mod won’t work.

[@ShisuiEditzz]

Thanks I'll try that

[@SiNKiLLeR_]

Great coverage of mods thank you

[@SpectrGamingg]

thank you! im glad you enjoyed it! theres more coming!

[@hiddenlineage4296]

DO NOT GET THE UNOFFICIAL STARFIELD PATCH. GET THE COMMUNITY PATCH INSTEAD. I cannot stress the importance of this enough.

[@SpectrGamingg]

I've pinned a comment about it and swapped out the link in the description! Thank you!

[@tripledair]

Maybe you should try stressing the importance of this. You haven’t said anything at all lol.

[@triple-e427]

Can you explain just a bit pls. Is the community mod necessary?

[@douglashalley9469]

Why do we need to use it, that link you put up doesn't say anything about what you're talking about

[@Adam-z8z3f]

I concur I wouldn’t use the mod by Arty if you paid me. The community patch is the only I’ll use

[@CaptainSteen]

There are mods to cut out visiting the temples completely. It's something like "All Starborn Powers at full" or something like that.

[@SpectrGamingg]

@@CaptainSteen oh nice! I'll have to grab that one because... Yikes lol

[@hedcase]

Thanks for putting the links in (and telling us lol), made life much easier 👍

[@Keyfram3d]

Do these disable achievements?

[@TheChrisLouis]

I HATE that non cheating mods turn off achievements on console just because they aren't blue checkmarked by Bethesda. Only thing really stopping me from messing with mods on console.

[@Uberstauffer]

Are achievements really that big of a deal, though? If they are to you, I completely understand, but I would rather have the option to change things about the game that I don't like and makes me enjoy it more, than something that congratulates me when I do something. There are just too many things I want to change lol.

[@YQualityo]

Achievements works on Xbox after mods uninstall. Enable all mods in creations menu, exit the game and close the game on Xbox dash with press start button on game and close, start game again and go creations menu, disable all mods, go game start screen and load your quicksave, choose current load without mods. And Achievements works again. Enjoy!

[@Lilp181]

I thought the same then I remembered it’s new game plus you loose all your hard word so yeah mods are no problem I can have fun I already finished the game

[@chi3f00]

The va’ruun outfits from zone79 is upgradable i think the other outfit mods are aswell

[@kan-zee]

0:49... where do you get your OUtfits , once you've downloaded the mod ?

[@SpectrGamingg]

Yes! some of them are part of the cyber ops outfits mod! some are from other mods made by the same author.

[@manuelmaximilianriolo5545]

The body of your character is the one made by Zone?

[@benchristie819]

Smarter space suit has never worked for me. Have moved around my load order without success.

[@tomwright8174]

Great video, is there an updated link for the junk recycler? Comes up as content not found. Thank you

[@ariyanhm3962]

can you upload the sliders for the character in the thumbnail?

[@Jayhawker2000]

Is there a mod that completely removes the temple mini game so that once you find the temple, you automatically get the power?

[@SpectrGamingg]

I haven't found one, but the mod in this video made it so much smoother

[@55cent15]

will this list function when the DLC drop ?

[@starzz8806]

what’s the clothing mod you’re using?

[@SpectrGamingg]

@@starzz8806 I show it off in my other Starfield mods video, I believe it's called the cyber ops pack, or it's by the same author who makes that

[@mike-ij9lv]

So how do you install the mods on xbox there isn't a mod menu in game like fallout 4

[@SpectrGamingg]

@@mike-ij9lv it's in the main menu I believe it might be called "creations"

[@mike-ij9lv]

@@SpectrGamingg I found it wasnt looking good enough 👍

[@d21mike]

After going thru NG+ (my 11th time - first after new update) the "Smarter Space suite auto-hide" is no longer working. I also tried to disable it (then restart game) but I think it never hides my suit - I may have change to my normal NG+ Suit because after NG+ have to go to your room to get the new one? I am also using the new suit you get from in your room (forgot name of suit - but I like it a lot).

[@SpectrGamingg]

Hmm I hope that issue gets sorted out! I think I'm going to take my time with this playthrough before trying ng+, as I rushed the first time since the ng+ story got leaked 😅

[@metatron9975]

I play on Xbox every time I click on the creations tab. My game freezes anyone know how to fix this?

[@shawnjones8971]

The hair & beard mod has made it so i cant change how my character looks. Whenever i go to reliant to change the game freezes, i even tried the standing mirror reliant mod. Same thing. I can not change my.characters looks now since i installed that mod

[@AnimeGamer501st]

I actually have both. Woops?

[@ricksanchez3218]

Not sure whether to hold off on mods until I have the achievements first, played about 20hrs and I'm enjoying it but understand a lot of the gripes.

[@cole5953]

Use the "baka achievement enabled" mod. It let's you get achievements in a modded save.

Space suit auto hide never works, any clues

[@andyward8430]

Great list, I’m literally using all of these except for easier temples. I wonder if anyone can provide some assistance though. The smarter spacesuit mod seems to be working fine on my companions but doesn’t change my main characters gear, is that something I can fix? Also in regard to the hair and beard mod should I expect npc’s to utilize these hair/ beard styles or is it just for the main character? Any advice would be appreciated. Also I recommend the denser vegetation mod, it doesn’t seem to impact performance and looks pretty nice on planets with plant life.

[@SpectrGamingg]

Thank you! And I'm definitely going to check out that vegetation mod! I haven't seen the beards on NPCs but I haven't really kept a look out tbh!

Anybody having trouble with spacesuit auto hide? I've downloaded it deleted it redownloaded it rearranged my mod order and still its not working?

The one with hair and beards crashes the game if you try to use Enhance to edit your character during your game

[@SpectrGamingg]

I haven't been able to replicate this, enhance works just fine for me 🤔 id recommend double checking your load order for something else that might not be playing nice!

[@Punisher_the_bot]

Who fix mods if they don’t work properly or have a bug? Since Bethesda doesn’t make mods, how can it can be fix?

Hey on xbox should the spacesuit auto hide mod go lower or higher In thr loaf order ? I'm trying to get it to work

[@ShisuiEditzz]

Hey, I was. Having trouble too.And apparently you have to actually go in your inventory and go to your spacesuit and choose "hide spacesuit"

I think we're at the beginning of that point I was trying to tell people hating on this game about where a lot of them might jump back in this games bandwagon when the official mods are released .....

[@XKathXgames]

Please don't promote the Unofficial Patch. Maybe research what that author has done first, recommend the Community Patch instead. Arthmoor makes changes that are not fixes but arbitrary changes just cuz they feel like it.

[@SpectrGamingg]

I haven't had any issues thus far, but I will add a pinned comment and the community patch in the description! Thank you for making me aware!

@@SpectrGaminggcommunity patch is better since the source code is public

[@kmphere]

@@SpectrGamingg Short story. Author makes changes to OG files that are NOT actually fixes but edits he wants. Did it in Skyrim and it ended up with changes that the people who installed didn't know about and had no choice in. Worse the patch became a requirement to many other mods and when people who didn't want these extra changes uninstalled, it broke all their mods that required the Unofficial patch. Author didn't give an F. No planning to go through the same thing again for starfield thank you very much.

do not listen to that comment The community patch Will make your game corrupt I had a save file 40 hours I have played I lost it all to this community patch it broke the elevators I got stuck in them quest broke do not trust it or the official patch it's not good either make your game corrupt you will lose everything

You know something the biggest turn off or Starfield for me it is the weapons I’m serious. The weapons are so unrealistic. They are just so annoying like the majority of the weapons. I hate I really really do like at least mass effect weapons look real at least Star Trek weapons makes sense and they look real at least Star Wars weapons look real at least space Galactica looks real or black matter and many many others like star weapons make no sense how they reload how they fire the way they shoot it. It’s one of the worst parts about the game. In my opinion. Worst thing is there should be no limit to how many reactors you are allowed to have on your ship OK And. They really need to increase the amount of reactors and power sources you have on your ship for those who want to have a capital ship I’m just being real. I would love a unsc frigate now I would really like somebody to create a mass effect mod that allows mass effect, armor, and weapon ready to be added to the game and large sums for drop rates and purchases also it wouldn’t hurt to maybe add some unsc weapons in gear into the game and some of that armor and no, I’m not talking about the Spartan armor not really I’d be more interested in the otst my point is I would play the game probably if they did that normal reloads new ammo types cool down for weapons I mean there’s so much you can do. I just want the game to be a little bit more realistic, not so un logically insanely unrealistic.
