Mods not working (Nexus Vortex)
Anyone else not able to get Mods to work?
I installed 2 simple Mods. One to slightly change the UI, the other to change the color of the Mantis Armor. Neither work.
StarfieldCustom.ini created correctly. Mods installed in the correct folders.
I have never had a problem modding any game before. Ran hundreds in Skyrim and Fallout 4.
Cant figure out what is wrong with Mods not working in Starfield.

This seems to be the case. I couldn't get mods loading either. So what I did was:
- directly edit the Starfield.ini inside the game's folder itself, and set it readonly
- dumped mods in both the My Games & main game Data folders
- launched the exe directly.

Worked after that. I don't know which factor made the difference, but loose files load properly now.

Have you added the .ini file like it is described here?

"StarfieldCustom.ini created correctly."

Make sure it is a "ini" file and not a "txt" file.

Yes. Everything is done correctly, but nothing works when in-game.

Using vortex to install the mods and to start the game?
Make sure the filename is correct as it is case sensitive, i.e. StarfieldCustom.ini is not the same as starfieldcustom.ini

This is what I have in mine

-----------------


[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=

[General]
SIntroSequence=0
uMainMenuDelayBeforeAllowSkip=0

[Camera]
fFPWorldFOV=90.0000
fTPWorldFOV=90.0000


And as someone else said show your file extensions so it isn't ending in .txt to you it may look like StarfieldCustom.ini but it could be StarfieldCustom.ini.txt in reality. Set show file extensions in the folder options.
yeah, done and checked all this. Its the same issue as OP.

Im gonna start from scratch.
It should be working..

Which mods you trying to run?

Textures should be in the data folder in the game folder.

And did you also make sure to set your StarfieldCustom.ini file in My Docs/My Games/Starfield?
