📋 About This Mod
This mod adds various outpost habs without light fixtures and their light sources, allowing for complete customisation of the interior lighting. You can choose to place your own lights from my ENHANCE Buildable Lights or other mods, embrace the natural lighting, or make a pitched black haunted hab.
The dark structures added by this mod include all buildable habs, hallways, and the airlock from the base game (Va'ruun Habs are not covered). An altered version of the "Four Wall Hab - Double" has also been added, which provides more floor space for the top floor.
The structures are found under the vanilla "Structures" tab and inside the respective vanilla hab subtabs. The exception is the Dark Military Hab, which is a separate subtab just below the vanilla counterpart. The structures added by this mod have no preview icon and are named as "Dark (hab name)".

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Perfect for outpost builders who want to design their own lighting schemes without fighting pre-placed fixtures.
- Simple concept, well-executed—no more ugly default lights ruining your screenshots.
- Active mod (updated May 2026) with a solid download count (29k) showing real demand.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 122 endorsements—small community, so you might be on your own if issues pop up.
- Removing lights means you'll need to place your own—if you're not into lighting design, this could be a hassle.
- No compatibility notes—might conflict with other outpost overhaul mods that touch habs.
For Starfield players who love building detailed outposts and want full control over the mood and lighting. If you're a casual builder who just wants functional habs, you might find this more trouble than it's worth. Skip if you prefer out-of-the-box lighting.
💡 Beginner Tips
- After installing, check your outpost habs in build mode—you'll see the light fixtures are gone, so you'll need to add your own lights from the decor menu.
- Use the game's lighting preview (if available) to test different light colors and intensities before placing many.
- If you're using other outpost mods, install this one last to avoid overwriting changes.
