Newbie Needs help XD

[Blueboyrock120]

Alright ya'll i need some help here, first time trying to mod and what not, i've tried to download/install several different mods following both the manual and vortex installation instructions to the t to include everything from making the StarfieldCustom.ini file and installing the scrypt extnder.
I'm trying to use the starui, undelayed menus, and enhanced player health mods, yet everytime to load/install said mods and whne i look into the ini files to see what's going on and make edition i keep running into encrypted jargin and alien languages lol

Probably a newbie mystake i'm sure, but fellas help a brother out? I'm racking my brain here.

1) Ensure you have the Steam version

 

2) Look for beginner mod user Youtube channels that show you exactly what should be happening on your computer screen, and copy what they do exactly.

 

3) Appreciate that user error is a thing, especially with those new to computers, and that you must be able to COMPREHEND the instructions, and then apply them exactly. There's no "encrypted jargin" or "alien languages". If you won't learn, this won't work for you. If you will learn, there are learning resources the like of which the Human Race never imagined before the age of the Internet.

 

Find the best instructions for the installation of ANY simple Starfield mod, and practice that until it works. If you don't understand files, and folder structure- go learn about that first. If you come across 'jargon', learn what it means.

 

As a technical skill, manually installing a single Starfield mod ranks about 1 out of 10 if its instructions are adequate. So a person who struggles to do even this is a 'starter'- no crime. Such a person needs to learn a certain amount of general stuff about their computer first. As I said, the easiest solution is to pay careful attention to another person doing the same thing visually- the Youtube video. But you'll then still be confused by basic computer stuff that most of us here don't even think about.

 

Think about joining a Discord and getting a real-time conversation. But remember, you are doing something wrong, and need to help the person talking to you discover what this is. For that to happen, you need to be deadly accurate in describing exactly what you have done- which is a skill in itself. Not for nothing do IT departments have a bad attitude to the users they are obliged to support.

 

Anyway we all started at the beginning once, where everything seemed new and possibly confusing. Good luck.

thank you, i appreciate the insite, and you are definitly correct about the need to include details and to that end, i have successfully installed mods once, in the case for titanfall 2 with the northstar client where i copy the files for any of the client updates in the titanfall data/ location, more so what im talking about in the case of "alien language" is when i look into the starui ini folder it pulls up the notepad, wherein your supposed to be able to go in and adgust the settings in the file to better be able to personalize the mod to user preference.

 

what seems to be the case is that either my computer isn't reading the information correctly or that in tha back end the file has been encrypted to protect the original creators work and i possibly don't have the right program to decrypt. to that end i speculate.

 

when i look into the file this is what i'm looking at.

there is a lot more than that, but inside the file itself that is what i am looking at. any thoughts? is this what i should be seeing in and of itself and i will continue to do my own research to root ouit what i may be doing wrong.

 

any thoughts on the matter would greatly be appreciated.
