STEP BY STEP GUIDE on How to Install Mods For STARFIELD! (THE EASY WAY)

I can`t use Vortex. I want to instal them manually. I have seen several turorials and every one of them have different informations on how to install mods.

As much as I hate to admit it, I need help. Before the last update, I had everything working quite well. After the update, it stopped working. I went to the Nexus and got the new SFSE file and installed it. Now the game starts to load and stops right after the initial text is displayed.

My initial thought is to just do a fresh install of the game and start the process over but I am hoping for a better idea. I never had this trouble with Skyrim or any of the Fallout games.

Man so I got the fov and dlss mod to work but I can’t for the life of me get bay vortex ones to work. I’ve tried so much stuff. All the basic making sure they are enabled, file location, no conflict, launch from vortex etc…
Now I’m reading vortex has lots of vulnerabilities, so I uninstalled it and got MO2. But I don’t understand MO2 because you download that through nexus and It doesn’t let me use mods. I literally can’t find them. Ughhh I am
I’m So illiterate when it comes to this.

The .ini fix you showed (replacing the file w/download from Nexus) was my solution.....THANK YOU!!!

Have tried every step by step guide and its not working

how do I create a new txt file? I have a brand new 2023 MSI 4070 laptop and it doesnt have any ability to make a new text file?

Still doesnt work for me :(

That starfield custom ini is a weird one, that also worked for me following what you have shown. I was so out of idea. Thanks for the help.

With there being different device's meaning a PC, an Xbox version on PC etc. Vortes is having issue's installing the various mod's needing other mod's designed for a PC for instance, when installing them for the Xbox version and visa versa. Read some of the suggested direction's on how exactly to adhere to or the mod won't work and or cause issue's. One has to be pretty much a PC GEEK. And then there those mod's submitted that don't have suggested direction's but should. Nexus and the use of Vortex prior to the advent of xbox player having their new ability to mod games on a pc, then use them on their xbox. And now, it's considerable safe assuming one KNOW'S which directory they are mandated to install various mod. Do it manually! Having multiple choice's of where to insert any one particular mod versus a another is assinine.

The how too's content provider's offer in their video's don't alway's assit one in their endevor to install mod's. When they show how easy it is, and don't state which device their installing them on.

I'm some 74 year's old and have been playing video game's, and using Nexus and or Steam which have different installer's to obtain various quality of play mod's. And in the 12 year's I've been playing, this is my first and assumably last Bethesda game. I've never seen such a convoluted mess, when it come's to installing mod's, as I've done envolving this game. And it's only been since xbox device's are now able to both download or upload mod's to Nexus. And it's obvious, the new xboxer's converted to pc modder's don't know what their doing.

Thank you for the detailed vid. I was tearing my hair out! Got it now thanks to you!

Nice video, thanks!

Dude.. just lead with downloading the mod activator if it didn’t work creating it manually.

WHATS THE HARD WAY?

why is my mygames folder in one drive

New to modding and didn’t realize you need to press play on starfield in the top of vortex lol thanks for the video!

wait before i put this in do i need to make the starfield ini in my steam folder for it to work with vortex? because with vortex i cant seem to install any mods at all what am i missing?

The mods do not work, I installed a mod to replace the mantis set directly in the my games folder

OK, I get the fact that one has to make an ini file and insert some code, one can get by simply copy pasting. Into document.game's, starfied directory. Then one download's, install vortex. Vortex requries the data as to exactly where it's suppose to install the particular mod. Using steam, it's generall a mod folder inside the game name directory. In which I've done previous numerious time with no issue.

However this is my first bethesda game and apparently they don't provide a particual directory inside the actual game name directory.

Going out on a limb, do I just choose using steam, the game name starfield directory, make one inside, or is there one I'm just not finding already in the game name via steam common starfield.

At 74, I'm not the brightest blub in the bunch, but then I'm not the dimest.

i did everything in the vid and the mods still don't work.

Your tip at the end of the video with the costum ini folder worked for me! Thank you!

that last fix helped my problem thanks

I am having an issue where in my games section of vortex Starfield is not showing up. Is there any known reason for this or any fix? It is not hidden and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling vortex but in total the games section only has 84 games and I see yours has 272.

WISH THEY WOULD HAVE DID THE TING LIKE SKYRIM HOW U DOWNLOADED MODS FOR FALLOUT 4 TOO LIKE I DO EVERYTHING THAT TOLED WITH THE FOLDER AND IDK WHAT IM DOING WRONG

OH! bsomething = 1! the whole time is was 0 oops

my starfield ini dosent change to a configuaration settings type

If you download SFSE to your steamapps game folder, do you still open the game through vortex? Or do you have to open the game through the SFSE icon within that game folder?

Skyrim was abandoned

This game is so bad and boring I wonder how it’s going to be after many many mods are released

Always good stuff
