Cannot access inventory glitch [spoilers]

[Kylo Ren]

im currently on NG+ 4 or 5 and im in one of the rare universes where every member of constellation is replaced with my own character.

ive played around in this universe just fine but now have encountered a glitch where i cannoy access my inventory unless i go to a container and access it through there.

the tab ket or i key does not work.

when i press the tab key it pulls up the pause menu where i can save and load and quit

ive reloaded previous saves and the glitch carries over.

has anyone else encountered this? how do i fix it?

can you guys shut up about a balding streamer that hordes and help me answer this question please, thanks

Have you tried reloading an earlier save. This is always my first step when encountering glitches in any game.

Do you happen to be using or have you ever installed a mod in Starfied even if you immediately uninstalled it?

I ask because 1. I've not heard of this issue yet and 2. I've seen people have inventory issues with mods.

Finally and as a last resort. You can open the console (the tilde key ~) and type the following;
SetInChargen 0 0 0

Using console commands will disable your ability to earn achievements. There is a mod to allow you to earn achivements so if that's important to you then I'd suggest one that has no requirements which is:
Starfield Achievement Enabler

yes i did recently install mods, just some cosmetic changes.

i do have an acheivment enabler installed but im unsure as how to tell if it is working properly. the one i have installed is the baka achivement mod., i will install this one though.

i will try the console command and see if that works

When I was playing my first character thru to level 100 (back in Sept), I did it by zooming thru the Unity by skipping the story.

Sadly I HAVE encountered this bug and nothing I did corrected it. Tried all the (at the time) tricks in my bag... nothing.

Once this bug hits, the save is garbage :( <- the only fix is to load a save before going thru the Unity.

From that point on I used to make Quicksaves in the Unity (this was before they allowed you to make manual saves).

As soon as I entered the next universe, even before sitting down in the Starborn Guardian's chair I would check to see if I could save. On my 38+ trips thru the Unity, iirc I only had this issue once.

Looks like this fixed it. Fortunately I had a save right before going into unity because I was trying to save scum alternate timelines. Didn’t get one this time but I guess I’ll stick with this for awhile

Good that you were able to salvage something... When you arrive in your new Universe and once all the banners go away, I'd usually wait a sec or two and then immediately press ESC to make a new save.

PS You know how to tell from "that" screen IF you got a unique universe, right?

If your mission lists " (MAST DISTRICT)" it is a standard universe. A unique version does not have those words

EDIT: Fixed the actual text - sorry :(

Thank you. Been through Unity many times and never stopped to think about it.

I thought I'd already uploaded a screenshot but did not... until just now

the 'I' key also opens up the Inventory, have you tried it yet?...:-)

yeah i tried, tried rebinding the key, seems reloading to unity is the only way to fix it. i tried the consoloe command as well and it didnt work either.
