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

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.

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.

[@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.

[@SiNKiLLeR_]

Great coverage of mods thank you

[@SpectrGamingg]

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

[@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! ☺️

[@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!

[@TheFalklands2006]

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!

[@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

[@xgcarcherfan8837]

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

[@t4ngo_kilo]

There’s a guy named YoungNeil or something like that, & he’s got a ton of really good mods

[@SpectrGamingg]

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check them out 👀

[@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 ☺️

[@chi3f00]

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

[@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 😅

[@joshuastender4871]

I havent had any issues thus far with USFP, I'll dig deeper into it though.

[@SpectrGamingg]

I haven't either, although it really is a completely fresh start so perhaps I haven't loaded this playthrough up with enough mods for it to be an issue. But so far so good!

[@WastelandWanderer1216]

Arthmoor tends to change shit just because whatever and he is also a massive asshole.

[@Randive]

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

[@katherinemarquez572]

@@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.

[@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!

[@andyward8430]

@@SpectrGamingg thanks for the response. Keep up the good work!

[@metatron9975]

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

[@benchristie819]

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

[@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.

[@ricksanchez3218]

@@cole5953 ah cool thanks for tip

[@antonfowler6582]

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!

[@bitterxcvii]

I can't make a load order to save my life. Even trying to copy other people's mods it just crashes every 5 minutes. :/

[@otissanders2624]

Do not download the unofficial Starfield patch!!!!!

[@SpectrGamingg]

I changed out the link in the description! Promoting the community patch instead ☺️

[@randylittlebatfleck3539]

​@SpectrGamingg don't be a wannabe. The "team" at Arthmoor have been supporting these titles for 20 years with zero issues. Only people who ever have don't read mod descriptions. This "don't use this mod" is a super wannabe movement of spoil rotten brats.

[@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!

[@sevnsinnz6468]

You see they never state WHAT changes! Because its a dragon line he changed in their skyrim! That's what I came up with when I researched why he's getting hate. Over a damn dragon line.

[@randylittlebatfleck3539]

Get a life you wannabe

[@jaysonjota]

Unofficial starfield patch broke my game do not download that one!!

[@SpectrGamingg]

Thank you! I changed the link in the description to the community patch instead ☺️

[@JourneyofOne971]

it's still starfield at the end of the day. Still a pass. Too many things are still broken AF.

[@SpectrGamingg]

I can appreciate that! I still think ALOT needs to be fleshed out. I'm hoping the dlc update does some of that 👀

[@mattc7420]

Bu-bu-but everybody said all the modders stopped working on Starfield and my favorite internet manchildren wouldn't lie to me for clicks.

[@SpectrGamingg]

Lol well for our sake, those man children were wrong again 😂

[@michaelsaunby6411]

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.
