With a handful of mods, you can make the Bethesda role-playing game much more beautiful graphically. We’ll introduce you to some of the most exciting ones.

Bethesda games actually always unfold their full potential as soon as the modders really get going. And also Starfield gets several fresh cell treatments from fans: There are already numerous mods for sharper textures, more beautiful colours and much more. We have picked out a few for you, with which you can easily spruce up the role-playing game.

High Definition Texture Pack for Starfield (HDTP)

What does the do? Also a mod that sharpens textures using AI technology and real spaceflight data. Note that it is not compatible with the HD Overhaul, so you have to choose one.

SavrenX HD NPC Optimised

What’s the point? With this mod you make the somewhat waxy NPC faces much more vivid and detailed. This mod is compatible with the HD Overhaul

Effect Textures Enhanced (EXE)

What does it do? This mod embellishes effects like muzzle flashes, explosions, flames, fog, smoke, water splashes and so on. It is not quite finished yet, but you can already use it for your game. It should be combinable with all mods that do not explicitly change effects in the game.
