📋 About This Mod
THIS MOD IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED.
The latest supported runtime version is 1. 8. 88. It will not work with newer versions.
Use this instead:
https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/8915For the Steam version of the game only.
If you're using the Windows Store/Gamepass version the mod will not work. This is unlikely to change as I don't own that version of the game.
However, if someone wants to make it work, feel free to to so. The link to the source is below.
Description:
This mod will change the behavior of the sprint button to only sprint when the button is held instead of acting like a toggle.
Supports both keyboards and controllers.
This is a port of Classic Sprinting Redone from Skyrim. If you used that mod before, you know what to expect.
Keep in mind, this mod is still experimental, and for now I've kept it very simple. Please report any issues you find.
Installation:
- []Requires Starfield Script Extender (SFSE)
-
[]After installing SFSE, put the contents of this mod in the Data folder of Starfield.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 692 endorsements and over 26k downloads.

- Lightweight and focused; no bloat or extra settings to fiddle with.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated December 2023—might be out of date for the latest game patches.
- Only changes sprint behavior; if you want more control options, this won't help.
For players who hate toggle sprint and want the classic hold-to-sprint feel. If you're used to other games where you hold to run, this is a must-have. Skip if you're fine with the default toggle or want more comprehensive control customization.
