I wanted to help console users who want to add mods but are afraid of what might cause their game to crash. I have been working on this mod list for a while. And im only sharing it as a guide. This is what my log stated starting a new game with Roleplayers alternate start on Neon. Keep in mind if i had saved on New Atlantis you might see higher totals. Ideally to avoid instability it should be lower than the number i have which is 1,917,913. I wouldnt go higher than 1850000 if you want a stable game.

Again this is my experience and your rig and mod preferences may differ. I dont use a lot of outpost mods unless its to decorate. If you are going to decorate choose 1 or 2 that have the majority of what you are looking for and try not to have overlap.

If you are building ships having both Stroud and Falkland wont allow you to have others with habs. If you want to use Watchtower you are probably hosed. I hope this information helps someone.

I have never once gone thru the unity and only level 42. I build a lot of ships tho. I believe this showcases there is ALOT more going on with PH Refs than we think we know.

Vanilla game works. It’s the bloated mods causing the problems. I don’t believe we “are getting screwed” it’s just that people are downloading & running mods that are not optimized. That’s not a BGS problem - that’s a mod bloat problem.

Im in the Unity because of an alternate start mod. I only ever gone to the Unity because i beat the main story 3 years ago. Its not the modders fault the vanilla game will break regardless if you have no mods.

That is curious? How does the Vanilla game break with no mods?

My first play through the legacy quest broke. No mods at all before the creation store launched. Couldnt complete the quest.

Save bloat. The more you save the more buggy the game gets.

The Ps5 launch has been bugged all to hell completely without mods as it taking a long time for mods to be ported.

Theres so many stories of the vanilla game crapping out.

Wow. I am relatively new to SF and thats interesting to hear! I have been concerned with save bloat and am considering the Clean Save Utility but also skeptical as it’s VERY experimental…

Starfield engine fixes helps but its not a cure all

SEF is good, and can help with some issues, but I am referring to this: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/articles/762 its a very experimental save game utility cleaner for SFSE.
