Starfield’s many planets hide plenty of secrets, but if you’re looking to spice up your space travels or just rid them of small annoyances, it’s wise to have a look at the best mods currently available.
Although official Starfield mod support is only slated to launch at some point in early 2024, the community is already hard at work improving some of the game’s features that might be lacking and fixing a variety of smaller issues that we might encounter while playing.
The Best Starfield Mods
Our picks for the best Starfield mods focus, at least initially, on making the UI better suited for PC, squeezing a bit more life out of the game’s colors alongside a variety of other tweaks that just make for a smoother spacefaring experience.
We’re willing to bet that, as modders familiarize themselves with the game and official tools become available, more ambitious Starfield mods will appear.
As is always the case, it’s worth keeping in mind that new patches can (and often will) break mods until updated by their creators, which can sometimes take longer than expected to do so.

- Neutral LUTs - No Color Filters

StarUI Inventory/StarUI HUD
It might be predictable to kick off a list of the best Starfield mods with one that improves the interface, but StarUI’s inventory and HUD mods are must-haves on PC. Not only do they make their respective parts of the UI more compact and easier to manage, but they also allow for easy sorting of items and moving of entire categories. You’ll find both the inventory and HUD files over on Nexus Mods.
Neutral LUTs - No Color Filters
Starfield looks great as it is, but its color filters might not fit everyone’s taste. This mod removes them, allowing its more neutral colors to successfully squeeze more life out of the game’s environments and characters. The deeper blacks also help strengthen the feeling of endlessness when exploring space. Get it from Nexus Mods.
Undelayed Menus
This Starfield mod makes menus more responsive by removing the fading effect, making exiting them quicker while adding 60 FPS support. Perfect for anyone who prefers efficiency over style. Find it on Nexus Mods.
Easy Digipick (Lockpick)
Lockpicking plays a major part in most Bethesda games but not everyone is keen on mastering this particular skill. This Starfield mod still requires picking up the right perk to engage in lockpicking, but makes the whole process considerably easier. Grab it from Nexus Mods.
Less Spongy Enemies
Fighting foes whose health bars takes ages to bring down to 0 can get really tedious really quickly. This entry on our list of the best Starfield mods aims to address just that, reducing the health bonus enemies receive at higher levels. Get it from Nexus Mods.
Perk Up - Richer Galaxy
Wheter you’ve already become a space mogul or happen to have accidentally discovered a large stash of credits, you might have experienced vendors running out of either credits or stuff to sell you. This mod gives them more of both, so you can keep that spending spree going. Grab it from Nexus Mods.
