Starfield Script Extender (SFSE)

2.6M371KB

Mod Introduction

Restores plugins.txt functionality as in previous BGS games. Supports Steam (Starfield Script Extender) and Game Pass (ASI loader).
Notice: The Starfield update released on June 9th, 2024 (1.12.30) has rendered this mod pointless. There is no need to install it. You can safely remove old versions.


Restores plugins.txt functionality as in previous BGS games and does nothing more. Yes, that means you don't have to use sTestFile1 any longer.


Notice: Plugins.txt will be ignored if any sTestFile INI variables are used. Delete them and migrate to plugins.txt instead. This is an intentional decision in Starfield's code.


Requirements



Installation


  • For manual SFSE installs, place SFPluginsTxtEnabler.dll in the corresponding Starfield\Data\SFSE\Plugins folder C:\steamapps\common\Starfield\Data\SFSE\Plugins\SFPluginsTxtEnabler.dll

  • For manual ASI loader installs, place SFPluginsTxtEnabler.asi in the game root directory next to Starfield.exe. An example path is: C:\XboxGames\Starfield\Content\SFPluginsTxtEnabler.asi


How do I load custom ESP/ESL/ESM plugins?

  • Some mod managers will automatically handle the setup portion. However, in the event you aren't using a mod manager, you'll have to manually create and edit plugins.txt with notepad as explained below.

  • Plugins.txt must be created in Starfield's local AppData folder. This is usually: C:\Users\<Your Username>\AppData\Local\Starfield\Plugins.txt

  • Plugins.txt must first contain a # line and then asterisked lines for each ESP, ESL, or ESM you want to load:
    # This file is used by Starfield to keep track of your downloaded content. (You HAVE to keep a # on the first line here)
    * MySpecialMod.esp
    *AnotherMod.esl
    *ShipStorage.esp
    *Custom Plugin With Spaces.esm
    *UnlimitedSprint.esp
    *YetAnotherSpecialMod.esm
  • Save plugins.txt and launch the game. Note that this isn't a tutorial on how to organize your load order. Starfield has near-identical plugin loading functionality compared to Fallout 4 and most guides apply. See LOOT's introduction for more information.


Logs

  • Limited diagnostic information is logged to SFPluginsTxtEnabler.log in Documents\My Games\Starfield\SFSE\Logs for SFSE and in Documents\My Games\Starfield\Logs for ASI loaders.


Warning

  • Starfield does not officially support loading custom ESP/ESL/ESM plugin files. Files created outside of Bethesda's editor may be broken in subtle ways. Use with caution.
