INTRODUCTION

This is a realism overhaul.

This mod changes some aspects (about 900) of the game to make it a little more realistic and challenging. Damage multipliers, stealth, enemy AI, trading, loot, and ragdolling have been tweaked for this purpose.

INSTALLATION

Install StarfieldCustom.ini in the MyDocuments/My Games/Starfield folder (You can overwrite or copy and paste what interests you from this mod).
Install the .txt file in the folder where you have the .exe of the game installed (Starfield.exe). Normally, if you have not changed it, it is Steamlibrary/Steamapps/Common.

UNINSTALLATION

Delete Umgul.txt in the game exe folder.

Delete  StarfieldCustom.ini

This mod is 50% TXT file and 50% StarfieldCustom.ini. Both are mandatory to run properly.

WHAT THIS MOD CHANGES

*** BIG OVERHAUL ***

A lot of engine and gameplay parameters: Force HDR, force 60fps menus, better LUT, better LOD, more particles, more quality, upscaled some minor textures via settings, increased buffer memory usage... (Tested on RTX 3060).

Set Timescale to 6 when in a planet.

Player can dive underwater.

NPC's Use Ammo.

Disabled Stealth meter.

Planet biome and creatures diversification.

Reworked traits, factions and alliances.

Reworked player conditions to be more survival-like (viewing game files I suppose it will be a survival mode in a future update, meanwhile we can tweak some parameters).

Reworked NPC's AI

Reworked building sizes (outposts and ships).

All NPC are now killable, companions included.

You can own up to 20 spaceships registered, but they are expensive to mantain.

Tweaked spaceship docking and looting range.

Changed scanner properties to more realistic ones. Need more scans to know animals and plants and need to be near them.

Changed conversation wheedling parameters.

Changed crime, economy, player and NPC values to more lifelike behaviors.

Changed damage. One or two good shots can kill NPC's and player without armors and armored ones are not intended to be bulletsponges.

Stealth and detection are more immersive and realistic. If you open fire and kill someone in a public place, probably civilians run away and guards and leveled NPC's will attack you. They will dodge and jump to avoid grenades, and take cover. They are not blind while you sneak.

Pickpocketing, bartering, lockpicking and robbery are more challenging.

Tweaked workshop to be more realistic.

Combat is more challenging and lethal.

They drop equipped armor and weapon when die.

More realistic ragdolling for player and NPC's

And more stuff.

Thanks for downloading and I hope you enjoy it.
