Selected your preferred download location below:
It is recommended you install the Community Patch with a mod manager to avoid any confusion on where to place the files. The recommended applications are Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 (Steam only). Install the ZIP file with your mod manager and ensure that Starfield Community Patch.esm is enabled in the load order section.
To install the patch manually, extract the contents of ZIP file into the Starfield game folder (where Starfield.exe is stored). To verify it is installed properly, check the Data subfolder includes StarfieldCommunityPatch.esm
. With the files installed, next navigate to %localappdata%\Starfield
(you can paste this into the address bar of Windows Explorer) and locate the file plugins.txt. Open plugins.txt and add * StarfieldCommunityPatch.esm
below the main Starfield plugin and any DLCs.
To install the mod via Bethesda.net, simply go to the mod page, log into your account and select "Add to library". You can also select the mod to be installed from the "Creations" menu at the main menu of the game.
