This video is a complete guide on how to install the StarUI mod for Starfield, a game that improves the UI and overall quality of life. The StarUI mod consists of two separate mods: StarUI Inventory and StarUI HUD. The mod can be found on the Nexus Mods website. The inventory mod changes the inventory layout and provides more information about items, while the HUD mod improves the display of in-game items and provides additional information.
The installation process begins by enabling archive invalidation, which allows the game to load the mods. The tutorial presents two methods: using a tool called BethIN or manually creating a custom INI file in the Starfield folder. The custom INI file stores settings for the game. A specific set of edits is made to the file to enable archive invalidation.
Next, the video recommends using a mod manager called Vortex for installing the actual mods. Vortex allows for easy management of mods and avoids the hassle of removing them later. The video provides steps to download and install Vortex. Once installed, the player needs to log in to their Nexus Mods account and set Starfield as the managed game.
After installing Vortex, the player can then install the StarUI mods. The video demonstrates how to find the mods on the Nexus Mods website and download the mod manager version. The downloaded mod can be installed through Vortex, where custom settings can be chosen. Once installed, the StarUI mods will appear in the mod list. The video highlights the convenience of using Vortex for managing mods, as they can be easily enabled or disabled as needed.
Finally, the video shows the newly installed StarUI mod in action. It demonstrates the improved UI and enhanced information presentation in the game’s inventory and HUD. Different item types are color-coded, and additional details such as stats and values are displayed. The video concludes by encouraging players to enjoy the improved UI and wishes them success in their Starfield adventures.
