Q: Why aren't my Starfield mods loading properly?

A: The issue often arises from complications related to various Starfield ".ini" files that must be adjusted and recognized by the game's executable file. Also, folder arrangements and misconfigurations can be potential culprits, especially if you're using tools like Vortex from Nexus Mods or loading mods manually.

Q: How can I fix Starfield mods that aren't working properly?

A: Start by ensuring your "StarfieldCustom.ini" filename is correct and not accidentally saved as a .txt file. Consider editing the "Starfield.ini" file in the game folder using Notepad++ and setting it to read-only. Store mods in both your My Games and the game's Data folders, ensuring they're not just in the Steam folder where Vortex might place them. It's also helpful to launch the game's .exe directly and ensure Hardlink Deployment is enabled in Vortex settings.

Q: Are there tools that can make the modding process in Starfield easier?

A: Presently, one suggested approach is to use specific mods that help ensure the "StarfieldCustom.ini" file is formatted correctly. In the future, we might see the development of a Script Extender mod, akin to those for Fallout 4 and Skyrim, which would streamline the modding experience.
