Unleash the Full Potential of Starfield: Unlock Achievements with this Ultimate Mod!

Highlights

Modding Starfield disables achievements, but mods already exist to work around this limitation on PC versions, including the Xbox Game Pass edition.

Starfield is anticipated to offer comprehensive mod support in the future, although the precise launch date for the modding toolkit remains uncertain. At present, there are two existing mods that restore the functionality of achievements. One is designed for the UWP version available through Xbox Game Pass, and the other caters to users on Steam.

Modding Starfield will disable the game's achievements, but there are already mods available to bypass this restriction. These mods cover all versions of the game on PC, including the base edition of Starfield that is accessible through Xbox Game Pass for subscribers.

For a long time, Bethesda games have been closely associated with modding, mainly due to the developer's active support for community content. The latest RPG from Bethesda, Starfield, will continue this tradition, as the company has already confirmed that the game will have full mod support starting in 2021. While the exact release date for the modding toolkit is yet to be clarified, this has not stopped early Starfield mods from emerging. Nexus Mods, for instance, already hosts nearly 700 such customizations.

As per the usual practice in Bethesda games, the utilization of mods or console commands will automatically deactivate achievements in Starfield. However, this problem can be easily resolved by employing additional mods. Presently, there are two available solutions for this issue. The original one is the Achievement Enabler by brunph, which was released as soon as Starfield entered early access. To install this mod, the Ultimate ASI Loader is required, which is an open-source tool for injecting custom libraries into any Windows game process. Although the installation process is slightly more complex due to this dependency, this mod currently remains the sole method for re-enabling achievements in the UWP version of Starfield, which is distributed through Xbox Game Pass and Microsoft Store.

Starfield Mods That Re-Enable Achievements

The Baka Achievement Enabler (SFSE) by shad0wshayd3 allows Steam users to easily achieve the same result. This mod requires the Starfield Script Extender (SFSE), but as most modders will already have SFSE installed, it is the perfect solution for those wanting to add new scripted events and features to the game before Bethesda's Creation Kit is released.

In the early days of the studio, previous 3D RPGs have consistently generated script extenders, which have remained popular even after the games received official modding toolkits. Considering Bethesda's history of supporting modding, the release of Starfield's Creation Kit is expected to take between three to six months. Once this essential tool is available, the company's commitment to providing a paradise for modders in Starfield should become a reality. Starfield is currently accessible for PC and Xbox Series X/S users.
