Despite primarily releasing single-player role-playing games, Bethesda Game Studios really does not want its community to earn achievements on a modded game. Seriously, you playing completely solo does not affect anyone else, and yet here we are, still waiting for BGS to provide us with total freedom regarding how we play games like Starfield. So, do mods disable achievements in Starfield?
Will Modding Starfield Disable Achievements?
Unfortunately, yes. If you download andinstall a modor use any console commands, your save file is marked with an “M” for modded, and all achievements will be disabled. Unfortunately, if you’re the majority of the way through the main story quest, the moment you install a mod or use a console command, you may no longer earn achievements associated with any in-progress or future quests. The only way to resolve the issue is to create a new character.
Re-Enable Achievements With Mods
But wait, there’s a workaround! Thanks to the modding community that helped keep Bethesda Game Studios’ titles alive and well for years, game modifications are available to re-enable achievements in a modded or altered game save.
You only need to download one or the other, not both, to re-enable achievements on your save file.
I’ve used Achievement Enabler for games like Skyrim and Fallout 4 and never run into any issues.
Starfield Achievements You Might Want Mods For
If you’re willing to download an Achievement Enabler to mod to re-activate your save file, then there are a few achievements in the game that you may find benefit from a helping hand. These include:
While none of these achievements prove extremely difficult to complete, they’re tedious. If you have console commands or a mod to help make the gathering and mini-game processes easier, then you’ll unlock each achievement in no time flat!
