File credits

  • Plugins.txt Enabler Version 1.1
    • Updated to support all game versions through 1.7.36.

DESCRIPTIONS

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.

INSTALLATION

  • Install with your Plugins.txt Enabler mod manager of choice
  • For manual SFSE installs, place SFPluginsTxtEnabler.dll in the corresponding Starfield\Data\SFSE\Plugins folder. An example path is: 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 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:
  • 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 ESP/ESL/ESM plugin files. Files created outside of Bethesda’s editor may be broken in subtle ways. This patch is for people who want to live on the bleeding edge. Use with caution.
