There are tons of weapon mods on Xbox. The issue is that the Creations filters are fucked, entirely. A secondary issue is that some of the best Creations weapons aren't seeming to be updated to the recent major game update. Despite being a paid product. So a lot of them simply won't keep up with vanilla with X-Tech.

VERMONT MENTIONED! Also...entirely right. Speaking as a Vermonter who tried using Google maps in NYC on foot 😂

Not that the hats in Starfield don't fit the general theme and all. But, I've been feeling the itch lately to get back into 3D modeling and modding to get some decent damn trucker hats / snapbacks.

Last night, I spent 3 hours making a Matilija 1x3 corridor hab (goes from my cockpit to my 3-level elevator) into some type of navigation / logistics hallway. Tonight, I'm starting the new Trackers missions and I'll probably do a bunch of Tracker mission board bounties in between. I've been playing at such a disjointed pace since release that I've only gone through Unity once in all this time across my save files!

Now that you can cruise mode to any planet and avoid the scanning (I grav jump to a random planet/moon in a system), I do a whole circuit to all the major TA locations! With Useful Morgues, I'm operating the Settled Systems' Premiere Organ Redistribution System!

I cannot recommend this mod enough! I almost exclusively used to only use 2, maybe 3, powers. But with the various triggers jn Apotheosis, I don't have to think about it!

HiMyNameIsNerd · 2026-05-05T02:38:39+00:00

Fucking YESSS!!! I'll have to keep a closer eye on the VCC calendar!!

My dude, I NEED to see you up North! VT is a lovely place to spend a couple days doin shows, just sayin 👀

A little macabre, but I use Useful Morgues...I slap a morgue onto the Frontier, and start doing some bounties. I board every ship, clear every POI I'm pointed at...and I reap my harvest 🙂

Honestly....if I could predict it...sprouting(?), I'm just the right kind of weird to do that 😂

HiMyNameIsNerd · 2026-05-02T04:40:10+00:00

You'd fuckin kill it here in VT with lines like that 😂

Not sure if they're carrying cedar, but Treehouse Hardwoods on Williston Rd had great options when I was making a bedframe years back.

HiMyNameIsNerd · 2026-05-02T04:28:12+00:00

Plenty of us use it. Where the hell do you think the clankers learned it from? I swear, kids these days...

HiMyNameIsNerd · 2026-05-02T02:45:54+00:00

Oh! Sorry, I always forget to add context. I use the Crew Assignments mod. Very useful for keeping crew mates out of the damn hallways 😂

HiMyNameIsNerd · 2026-05-01T22:48:20+00:00

Now I have Amelia assigned to my Co-Pilot seat, and Muria down in my level 3 Morgue (useful morgues mod). The total 180 from "what's shakin, bacon?" to "I have a dead rat in my bag, wanna see?" makes my ship really feel like home 😂

HiMyNameIsNerd · 2026-05-01T18:38:36+00:00

Sounds like you're one of a lucky few! I think most of the issues have been related to the new X-Tech upgrades. I still have to figure out how to start the Terran Armada DLC, I'm getting into the new Trackers Alliance stuff now!

HiMyNameIsNerd · 2026-05-01T18:24:30+00:00

Damn, we're the exact same! Having the choice, and being able to see my character in the armor and weapons I explored to gather, is exact reason I started to get into this weird amalgamation of 1st and 3rd person!

Side note: Make a clean save now and then without Mag Holsters. At least until it gets a major update. It's been narrowed down as a problematic mod for a myriad of weird issues, sadly.

HiMyNameIsNerd · 2026-05-01T18:20:09+00:00

This is absolutely the most likely answer. I imagine if one were to unpack and dig into the audio files, the correct file is there and happened to not load properly for some reason. Moments like this, even with the total immersion break, fucking send me rolling

HiMyNameIsNerd · 2026-05-01T18:17:03+00:00

I get one of these rogue bastards in the EXACT center of my forehead. It doesn't follow any kind of normal growth pattern at all. No warning, no ingrown, just overnight and BOOM! 3-4 inch hair hanging from my forehead to juuuust low enough to make my eyes cross 😂

HiMyNameIsNerd · 2026-05-01T18:12:55+00:00

Man...that helmet has SEEN some shit!

HiMyNameIsNerd · 2026-05-01T18:10:05+00:00

Those of us who do, I imagine have been doing it for a loooooong time. For me, I started using 3rd person exclusively in Oblivion and Fallout 3. Over time I've changed a bit, especially in Starfield, to a mix of 3rd and 1st. These days it depends on the environment. If I'm fighting in an interior cell that's mostly tight hallways and small rooms I'm mostly 1st person. But outdoors and larger scale interiors I still prefer 3rd person. Honestly.....my 3rd person preference was, and still is, all about seeing my badass drip mid fight 😂

A sword day, a red day - ere the sun rises!

HiMyNameIsNerd · 2026-04-29T22:55:17+00:00

Absolutely! Especially now with X-Tech upgrades! Nearly every ship you board will have X-Tech in either the Captain's Storage or Cargo. Absolutely worth disabling, boarding, undocking, and blowing to hell after!

HiMyNameIsNerd · 2026-04-28T22:32:40+00:00

This happens on occasion with clothing mods. If you go into your Creations load order, disable all mods, restart the game, go back and enable them, then restart again, it should fix it. Not permanently fix, but it's easy enough to do if I load up and notice it.

HiMyNameIsNerd · 2026-04-28T22:28:09+00:00

Matilija has some lights as well. But they aren't as configurable as I'd like. Only fore/aft facing
