Starfield‘sShattered Spaceexpansion may be brand-new, but that hasn’t stopped talented modders from getting busy adding and changing content in Bethesda’s latest expansion.
Let’s take a look at the 10 of the best mods made just forStarfield: Shattered Space, shall we?
Shattered Space Delayed Start
It’s recommended that players be Level 35 beforestartingStarfield: Shattered Space. However, the game itself gives players the option to do it early, albeit underleveled. Unsuspecting gamers could be caught off guard by this, finding themselves stuck in areas they simply can’t progress through.
Shattered Space Delayed Startsolves this problem. Using this mod from Nexus Mods user Solshura, the quest to begin the DLC won’t trigger until you’re at the recommended level of 35. A simple quality-of-life fix, but one worth considering in your load order.
Shattered Space No Red Fog
IfStarfield: Shattered Spacewas a little too red for your personal taste, then this mod has you covered.Shattered Space No Red Fogsimply removes the red tint from the fog, rather than removing the mist altogether.
While this is an extremely smallStarfieldmod, the abundance of red in this DLC means it should make a huge difference to the visuals in your game. But maybe you love the overwhelming red hue, in which case, you should probably leave this mod.
Royal Leveled Enemies – Shattered Space
The creator ofRoyal Leveled Enemies – Shattered Space, JaeDL, is the talented modder behind the base game’s Royal Arena – Leveled Enemies mod. This is simply an expansion of that mod, adjusting the AI and leveling of the game’s enemies.
This mod is ideal if you feel that some of the DLC’s combat encounters become too easy, especially in the latter stages. JaeDL is continually updating the mod too, tweaking each NPC to ensure they’re fun to fight.
Shattered Space Headparts
InStarfield: Shattered Space, there are several hairstyles worn by Va’ruun NPCs that players can’t access. Luckily,Shattered Space Headpartsis here to save the day. Whether you like them or not, having more options is always a good thing.
According to creator Leyr, they were already marked as playable in the files and just needed to be moved to the right place for players to use them for character creation. That’s a classic Bethesda moment if I have ever seen one.
Shattered Space – Better Rewards and Consequence
You’ll feel the effects ofShattered Space – Better Rewards and Consequencethroughout your entire playthrough ofStarfield‘s first DLC. As the title kind of implies, it improves the quest rewards during the DLC, adding seven new unique items as well as a new ship.
According to creator pietro0games1, it also “reworks some features of the DLC to increase the reward for completing it and the agony of your decisions.” This is done to giveShattered Spaceeven more replayability. You’re welcome,Bethesda.
VaruunKai Reimagined – A GRiNDTerra Mod
VaruunKai Reimagined – A GRiNDTerra Modmight be the biggestStarfield: Shattered Spacemod released so far. It alters existing and adds new biomes, randomizes the size of biome flora and fauna, and switches things up with some different weapon patterns in the DLC.
That’s a lot of change in the environment, and you’re going to notice an immediate difference if you’ve played a lot ofStarfield: Shattered Space. We’d recommend you experience the base game’s environments first, but this is perfect for a repeat playthrough.
Xeno Master – DLC Support Addon
The original Xeno Master mod forStarfieldallowed players to tame and capture creatures from around the galaxy.Xeno Master – DLC Support Addonextends this toShattered Space, although it will also serve as a hub for futureStarfieldexpansions, too.
Frankly, this might be the coolest mod on this entire list. Who doesn’t want to tame even moreStarfieldcreatures?!
Dazra – Vacant House Furnished
Can’t be bothered to decorate the vacant house in Dazra for yourself?Dazra – Vacant House Furnisheddoes the job for you, matching the player home to fit the overall Va’Ruun theme. Sometimes, you just want to kick back without worrying about decorating, and that’s okay!
There’s no denying that creator Nizon has created something super cozy here, making this a perfect home for any Spacefarer.
Rabbit’s Real Lights Dazra
Rabbit’s Real Lights Dazramight be one of thebestStarfieldgraphics modsavailable right now. This is a comprehensive lighting overhaul for Dazra, adding over 400 hand-placed light sources while removing Bethesda’s fake ones. Unlit decals have also been removed.
The overall effect is stunning, making Dazra’s lighting feel much more realistic. Your brain picks up on fake lighting sources. Even if you don’t know exactly what’s wrong, you knowsomething‘s not quite right. Rabbit’s Real Lights Dazra solves this issue for this particularStarfield: Shattered Spacelocation.
Royal Weathers – Va’Ruun’kai
Royal Weathers – Va’Ruun’kaiis gorgeous, adding many new weather effects to theStarfield: Shattered Spaceplanet. This should make exploring it far more interesting, especially while playing through the DLC multiple times.
It also comes from JaeDL, the modder behind Royal Leveled Enemies – Shattered Space. They’ve clearly got an eye for detail when it comes toStarfield: Shattered Spacemods.
