I can't get any armor mods to work

And this is on the same drive as the game is installed on? Because, if not, it needs to be. And, if you have OneDrive, is it disabled? Because that is a major cause of issues due to how it handles, replaces, or removes files. Those would be the only reasons I can see why they would not work - if it was on a different drive than the game, and/or OneDrive is interfering. If neither of those two are the case, then I am at a loss for any real reason why the mods would not be working.

 

Unfortunately, this is the problem with trying to troubleshoot issues via the internet - sometimes, an issue that does not seem to have a solution, when seen in person, may be much easier to figure out. Unfortunately, I only have a grav drive in the game, not in real life (and no Star Trek transporter, either!).

 

Keep us informed - perhaps if I cannot think of anything else, someone else may be able to. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you can get this solved - and if I have any other ideas, I will post them. In the meanwhile, I will be keeping an eye on this thread.

Ok, they are not on the same drive. I run all my games from an external SSD, but for some reason steam automatically still puts this Starfield folder on my PC's hard drive. how do I move it to my SSD? Is it as simple as just dragging and dropping the file?

Ah, that may explain it then. I run all games on my main drive and if I were to use an external drive that would be for miscellaneous storage. Most games are intended to be on the main drive - even if many can be run from an external drive. Before you do anything, I have to ask, how are your games being saved and where, as the save folder is in that Documents/MyGames/Starfield location? As to moving it, I guess dragging and dropping the folder would work - though even though you could undo the drag and drop, it would still be a good idea to make a backup copy. Worth trying, anyway.

I figured out how to move the game to my local drive (steam actually makes it very easy). The game runs smooth, smoother than it did before, but still none of my armor mods work.

I know i'm late, but i had the same problem today - Try and install the mods with Vortex and then launch the game WITH Vortex (Top Left Corner, the Play Button) ... fixed it for me and i stil have no idea why ...
