Modding Tradition in Bethesda Games
For Bethesda, modding has been a longstanding tradition, extending back to The Elder Scrolls series. Starfield is no exception, with Bethesda confirming full mod support for the game. While the release date for the official modding toolkit remains uncertain, the modding community has wasted no time in creating solutions to enhance the game.
Achievement Enabler Mods
When using mods or console commands in Bethesda games, players often find their in-game achievements disabled. However, the modding community has stepped in to resolve this issue for Starfield. Currently, there are two primary modes available:

Achievement Enabler by brunph: This mod, designed for the UWP version available through Xbox Game Pass and Microsoft Store, allows players to re-enable achievements. It requires the Ultimate ASI Loader for installation.
Baka Achievement Enabler (SFSE) by shad0wshayd3: Steam users can benefit from this mod, which provides a more straightforward method to re-enable achievements. It also requires the Starfield Script Extender (SFSE), an essential tool for modders.
