How to Install Count and Color Healthbar Mod in Starfield

“Count and Colour Healthbar (CACH)” gives the health bar numerical health values and colour changes, creating obvious visual clues as health diminishes. The whole gaming experience is improved with the addition of CO2 metre colorization options and a variety of variants to suit player preferences.

To install the Count and Color Healthbar mod in Starfield, follow these simple steps:

  • First, download the Count and Color Healthbar mod from the Nexus site. (You might need to create an account if you don’t have one).
  • After downloading the mod file, you’ll need to paste the contents of the zip file into the Starfield game directory.

Starfield location:

Local Disk (C:) > Users > Documents > My Games > Starfield 

Starfield location (Steam):

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Starfield\

Note: You’ll have to overwrite the files in case of any duplicate files.

  • Now, download the ‘StarfieldCustom.ini’ file, which can be found in the ‘Misc’ folder.
  • Move the ‘StarfieldCustom.ini’ file to the ‘Starfield’ directory.
  • If you already have the ‘StarfieldCustom.ini’ file, simply add the following lines to it.
