“Less Spongy Enemies” addresses the problem of adversaries having excessively high health, providing a solution that goes beyond merely modifying damage output. The fNPCHealthLevelBonus is changed in this patch from 20 to 0, 5, 10, or 15 (down from 20) to address the issue of opponents being too resilient as they level up.
To install the Less Spongy Enemies mod in Starfield, follow these simple steps:
- First, download the Less Spongy Enemies 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.
sStartingConsoleCommand=bat LessSpongyEnemies;
To consolidate multiple commands from different text files into one and add it to the command line, you can follow this procedure:
- Create a new text file (e.g., myNewAllInOneFile.txt) in your game directory.
- Open the newly created myNewAllInOneFile.txt file using a text editor and copy and paste the contents of the various text files into this single file including the desired commands. For example:
bat LessSpongyEnemies
bat NoCombatMusic
fov 100
- Now, add the following line in your configuration settings.
sStartingConsoleCommand=bat myNewAllInOneFile; fov 100;
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.
