Hey all. I am a long-time Xbox player and now have a laptop capable of gaming as well. I have Starfield on both platforms and play on the PC with an Xbox controller when I travel. After 1200 hours of playing this game, adding Creations has made it almost new again. I have downloaded many mods to the Xbox (and dealt with their peculiarities), and my questions are these: do I now need to download all of those same mods to my PC in order to continue to play from platform to platform? I have no idea how to play on a PC via keyboard/mouse, but do I assume correctly that using a controller doesn't preclude me from also using console commands? TIA!
