-
[]Baka Disable My Games Folder is needed. If you don't want to use it, try to copy the Data folder inside MyGames\Starfield folder.
[]If you want to toggle the mod on/off, you require the console. So if you want achievements to stay active, you also need Baka Achievement Enabler
Known Issues
- []You can see the player teleporting for an instant and hear companions talking before the landing animation starts
- The mod can cause some side effects on quests that have the starting point far from the actual landing marker. If some NPC realizes that it should be somewhere else, it will start to run towards the location and may aggro enemies, ruining your cover and immersion. In this case you can easily load a save before the landing, disable the mod (see "Extra" section) and then land. You can re-enable the mod just right after.
It should be safe to use this mod since it uses built-in functions to achieve the result, but make a backup save anyways.
Please report any bug you may encounter by using this mod, possibly with clear repro steps.
