Creations Forge

Creations Forge is a cross-platform desktop and command-line application for importing, browsing, and comparing Bethesda plugin records for Fallout 4, Skyrim, and Starfield.

The application discovers your local game load order, imports supported plugin records into a local SQLite cache, and presents record differences in a comparison workspace. It is intended for mod authors and developers reviewing overrides, debugging compatibility issues, and inspecting plugin data across supported Bethesda games.

The selected game must be installed on the system so the application can discover the local load order and plugin files.

Currently MO2 breaks how Mutagen assembles and accesses Starfield split masters. So using Creations Forge with MO2 for Starfield currently is not supported, but I'm looking into the issue.
