Lower Crowd Density

[Redkitties]

Hi Everyone, is there a way to lower the crowd denisty even less than the "low" setting? I think someone said it was equal to 100, where the upper scale was 200? Is there a gigachad out there who can lower it to like 50? or 25 even? I'm just not interested in having so many random npcs that say the same one liners and I can't even steal their cool clothing. Maybe even 10? Please let me know, thanks.

I've seen optimised setting videos that state even the built in 'slider' does nothing. And the NPCs with speech trees will be on a different system anyway.

 

In other words, it seems like many things may be 'baked' into the engine, and they'll need better tools to alter, if possible. You cannot steal their clothes because Beth is now fully agenda compliant- no stripping NPCs nude or semi nude, no rag dolls, no true gore. Starfield is VERY agenda censored over previous Beth open world games. And Beth will have taken steps to prevent agenda content from being easily reversed.

 

All this means to the really skilled modders is that certain stuff that might have been Day one for Fallout 4 may take somewhat longer with starfield. Too many people in this forum lack awareness of how gradually good modding skills develop on the release of a new game. Fussy players should really put away their copy of starfield for maybe two years.

 

Cyberpunk is about to get its 2.0 overhaul. How many years did that take?- and 2.0 still doesn't return many of the features originally shown in early promotion videos from CDPR. True- Starfield has an engine built for modding, but Beth is now fully against many of the mod concepts that were popular on earlier games and this bodes poorly for true mod freedom.

 

Personally I'd like a mod that takes your idea further- an ONLY ONCE mod where all unique advanced assets like speaking NPCs and bases are witnessed only once per play-through. In 2023, in a game this expensive to make with this many years of dev, expecting lots of unique content, and first quality randomly generated content is hardly unreasonable. Every NPC should look different, dress different, and have access to a pool of hundreds of thousands of lines of AI generated speech for their background chatter. Mods will eventually add this.

I watched Steve's video over at Gamers Nexus and I believe the slider works after leaving the area and then returning. That's the way I understood it.
