How to Install Hide Spacesuit in Breathable Areas Mod in Starfield

“Hide Spacesuit in Breathable Areas” is a Starfield mod that improves immersion by automatically hiding your spacesuit in breathable areas, such as villages, ships, and your Home Ship. This feature will make your gameplay more realistic. 

To install the Hide Spacesuit in Breathable Areas mod in Starfield, follow these simple steps:

  • Start by downloading and installing the “Plugins.txt Enabler” mod if you haven’t already.
  • Now, download the Hide Spacesuit in Breathable Areas 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 extract the ESP file (likely named “HSIBA.esm”) into the “Data” folder of 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, navigate to your “AppData\Local\Starfield” folder. 

You can quickly access this folder by typing “%localappdata%\Starfield” into the Windows File Explorer’s address bar and pressing Enter.

  • Inside the “Starfield” folder, locate or create a file named “Plugins.txt”.
  • Open the file using a text editor and paste the following line into it:

*HSIBA.esm

This line tells Starfield to load the “HSIBA.esm” file as a plugin. Save and close the “Plugins.txt” file.

Alternatively, you can also auto-install the mod by using Vortex mod manager.

That’s it! Your mod is now installed. You can try it out by launching the game.
