Must Have mod for StarField | StarUI install guide

today I'm going to give you a complete guide on how to install this star UI mod for Starfield that's going to vastly improve the UI the quality of life in the game and your experience with it so stay tuned as we go through it step by step hello ladies and gentlemen today I'm going to show you how to install star UI actually we're going to be installing two separate mods because star UI actually consists of two separate mods the mods are available through Nexus mods if you're not familiar with it this is a site where people publish mods this existed for decades I feel like we're just going to start by going up here to the top and we're just going to go Star UI and as you can see there exist two mods here there's one called star UI inventory and star UI hot the star UI inventory as you can see here it changes your inventory to have a lot more information displayed you will get all the different values as you can see here you get you get better like naming more compact it's just it's a better heart it looks better you get more information the sty UI hard changes over so when you are not in your inventory but just looking at items in the world around you again you get lot more information about those items you can change colors of the little radar thing but it's stuff like this where again you get them more compactness you get them color coded based on what type they are whether they're weapon or plant materials you can see here you get mass and now for both of these mods if we scroll down there are installation guys down here and they are actually in fact the same so so we have two steps that we need to complete the first step is to enable archive invalidation this just allows you the virus the game to Sid load these mods in remember when you install these mods that you it is going to disable your achievements you can't ear earn achievements with this enabled there is a mod that allows you to then earn achievements while mods are enabled so you need to install a mod for that too um but for now we're just going to focus on this mod I just want to say that if you're still hunting achievements you will not progress to most to achievements as long as you have mods installed they say there are two ways you can go about enabling this either you can go into and get a a tool called Beth in basically this is just a tool that allows you to edit text files I feel like it's a little Overkill unless it does a lot of things that I don't know but for me it seemed a little overkill for what we need to do here so I'm just going to be following the manual method as that's quite easy as you will see so all you need to do here is just to go into documents my games and then Starfield and your folder should look something like this so in this folder what we need to do is we need to create a new custom in file we already have an in file here so what we're going to do is we're going to just make a copy of that file like so and as the guide also says over here we're going to rename that file to Starfield custom.in so let's just take that copy and then take that new copy we made and rename it like so and if you open this up you will quickly see what this does is it stores your settings in game so all your display settings and all that stuff is all stored in here so you can see here you have display settings and you have your volume settings and there are some other different some interface gameplay setting uh your difficulty it's all controlled through here what is the default settings when you open up when you change the settings and games they are changed here we're going to enable a few extra settings we're going to create a new category they've handly put it right here which we're going to write um and we're going to go I'm going to be posting this uh this text here in the uh in the description as well we just going to post that down there the B them so we have one said archive make sure you don't just look through the file make sure you don't have an archive already you shouldn't have that um and yes this last one does need to be empty it just needs to be equals and then nothing so I know it sounds or looks a little weird but that is correct that is how it is supposed to be once we added that save the file and uh we're done with step one for the next step we need to install the actual mods and again you have two options from what you can do you can go with a manual method or you can get a mod manager now if you're just planning to have a few few number of mods you can just do this the manual way um I'm going to be using a mod manager simply because if you have a large number of mods you want to install if you really want to play around with mods it can be easy to try and easily enable disable mods as it can be quite tricky to actually remove a mod afterwards without a mod manager so I recommend for these kind of things to use a mod manager the one they recommend the one they have themselves is called Vortex so we head back out to the front page we search for V text and here we have it we're just going to head into files and here we can go with the manual download as part of the download you're going to need net um 6.0 or higher and you're going to make sure you have Windows 10 or above um if you're in doubt whether you have them you can just click here and it will download the installer for the for net installer um and again you should already know what operating system you're on we're just going to make sure again that our net um framework is installed so we just going to make sure that we get that and now we can go and install the mod manager itself once you got Vortex installed make sure you go up here and you click log in you need to log in with your Nexus mod account if you haven't created one already you need to go ahead and uh make yourself an account on Nexus mods next we're going to head out here and we're going to click games and we're going to see we can find Starfield so we should be able to just search here for Starfield there it is click and set manage once we do that we can see we need extension so we're just going to say yes okay just head over to your download section you should see that extension for for Starfield go ahead click install and just for good measures once it installed let's go ahead and restart mod manager again so finally we are now ready to install the mods themselves if we head here to the mod section we can see that currently we have no mods we only have the um the starfields um support for Vortex we can see that is here and it is enabled so that's up and running that's good so if we head back to the star UI we head over to the files tab we should now see that we now have either the manual download which you could do if you want to do the manual download or we can now have the mod manager download which is the one we're going to be using if you don't see this option try to refresh make sure you're logged in here on the website as well um and then you should see this option so mod manager download for this one is the inventory back over Vortex we should now see here again in the mods that it should be finished downloading once it is at least we can say says it is never installed so um we have downloaded it but we haven't really installed it yet so up in our downloads we can click install we can choose the settings we want for the mod um whether we want the colors or not have extra colors in um what we going we going to use Vortex frame rate uh we're just going to keep it at 60 there's a read me and we're going to click finish and now we should have your in mods we can see that the UI is enabled all three of them are now ready to go so now we should be able to start off Starfield and have our brand new pretty UI up and running and you can see what I mean about is being easy if you ever feel like oh I don't want to play with that mod if you have two mods that don't really work together which can be a Thing If you really begin to install a lot of mods you go in here and you click disable and you can just disable and enable the mods as you see fit it's so much easier to do it this way um so that's why I recommend you use a tool like this and in game if we quickly just open up our inventory we can see first of all nice new colors so we can see that and if we go in and check let's say our I don't have no Resources with us here we M here these all key cards as we can see from the logo these are all um artifacts we go in here we can see this is all like survey data they get different icons I have a chest here with like a gilon things in so I can see I could scroll through this and I get a nice nice UI so I can see the stats of it if we go into the chest here again let's say we go to resources again you can see the differ we you get sub filters in here it's super nice um and if we find something on the ground let's just take and say that we came across this gun that I'm holding right now or maybe that one and we can see here if we hover over we get more information on screen so we can see the stats of it and I think it drops some books over here we get again same information about the value and also the value per MCH as we talked about earlier so there you go really hope you're going to enjoy it really hope this is going to be helping you in your adventures in Starfield thanks L for watching and until next time I'll see you guys in space
