We can\u2019t wait to see what companion<\/a> mods will crop up, too, as some of those added to Skyrim<\/a> were better than those found in the game \u2013 but it\u2019s early days yet.<\/p>\n There\u2019s plenty to be getting on with in Starfield, with outposts to set up<\/a> and ships to build<\/a> in better fidelity than ever, so we won\u2019t keep you. Read on intrepid modders!<\/p>\n To use Starfield mods, first make a back-up of your save in case something goes awry and then head over to Nexus Mods<\/a> and download and install the Vortex Mod Manager<\/a>, which you will need a Nexus Mods account to do.<\/p>\n Vortex will automatically detect compatible games and Starfield will appear under the \u2018Latest Extensions\u2019 tab on the right-hand side, and you want to press the \u2018Install\u2019 button just underneath.<\/p>\n Click on the \u2018Games\u2019 tab, then \u2018Select a game to manage\u2019, then press on Starfield.<\/p>\n Now you will be able to go back to the Nexus Mods site and download any Starfield mod with your browser prompting you to open the file via Vortex.<\/p>\n With all that, your mod should be installed and good to go!<\/p>\n Individual mods may have specific instructions, so be sure to read the whole mod page before committing.<\/p>\n Read more on Starfield:<\/strong><\/p>\n After much post and pre-launch controversy regarding the inclusion of only AMD\u2019s FSR 2, modders have come to save the day \u2013 and mere hours into the launch of early access, PureDark on Nexus Mods uploaded Starfield Upscaler<\/a>, which implements Nvidia\u2019s DLSS and Intel\u2019s XeSS upscaling solutions.<\/p>\n DLSS, in particular for those running Nvidia cards, offers a much more temporally stable image \u2013 especially when the camera is moving.<\/p>\n You may have noticed when using FSR 2 that the image appeared shimmery, especially on the edges of objects. DLSS doesn\u2019t have this at all, and oftentimes it can offer better image quality than a native resolution.<\/p>\n With the advent of screen technologies such as OLED, where every individual pixel emits its own light, people have begun to appreciate more contrast and deep blacks in media \u2013 but curiously for a game set in space, Starfield has quite raised black levels, owing to its own colour-correction, which makes for a quite washed-out image at times.<\/p>\n For those who don\u2019t like this effect, Neutral LUTs<\/a> from fadingsignal on Nexus Mods removes Bethesda\u2019s colour grading for a more natural appearance.<\/p>\n It\u2019s quite astonishing how much of a difference this makes. Many dark rooms are far more readable without being awash with artistic intent.<\/p>\n We ourselves have a handy-dandy guide on how to change your Starfield FOV<\/a> on PC as, curiously, the game doesn\u2019t include an FOV slider \u2013 making for some claustrophobic visuals.<\/p>\n You can manually adjust your first and third-person FOV on an individual basis if you want different FOVs for each.<\/p> Starfield on PC doesn\u2019t have a native HDR (High Dynamic Range) solution, and instead relies on Windows\u2019s Auto-HDR functionality to provide nice bright highlights and deep blacks.<\/p>\nHow to use Starfield mods<\/b><\/h2>\n
