Starfield gets silly with these mods, from Thomas the Tank Engine to Garfield
After only a week of availability, there are already hundreds of Starfield mods available to download over on NexusMods.
Many of these are useful — gameplay tweaks, shaders, and more — but what about the silly ones we're all expecting?
What about...Thomas the Tank Engine?
Well you're covered there already. Thanks to modder Bulwarkhd, you can now download the Vasco Retexture mod to turn the robot companion into a walking, talking Thomas. I warn you it's mildly terrifying in a Frankensteinian sort of way.
Next up, perhaps my favourite mod of the lot: Garfield. Now you can turn the main menu into an ode to the ginger lasagne-loving cat, thanks to J8oot. Because it rhymes!
Other modders have been creating famous faces from other games. XDAEMONIUMX has created Isaac Clarke from the Dead Space series, noting the character fits perfectly with the mining story. ACACYN, meanwhile, has created this Samus Aran mod to turn your character into the Metroid-fighting bounty hunter complete with custom ship.
And then there are the PlayStation fans. They seem determined to shoehorn Sony's console into the Xbox exclusive somehow, from the PlayStation logo as a flashlight to changing the controller icons. More dramatic is Chachinito amending the Message of the Day to the Playstation Exclusive banner. Cheeky!
Or perhaps you want to change the flashlight to something more appropriately Xbox. Phil Spencer perhaps? Or maybe Todd Howard?
This mod from Bub removes the takeoff, landing and docking animations that repeat throughout your journey through the stars. They're there to hide the game loading, so instead you can now have a quick fade to black instead. It may speed up the game, but it certainly breaks the immersion.
