✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 426 endorsements and over 11,000 downloads—clearly a mod people trust.
- Eliminates the grind of scanning planets multiple times to find all traits, which is a huge time-saver.
- Simple and focused: does exactly what it says without touching other systems.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in October 2023—might not be compatible with the latest Starfield patches, so check before installing.
- Only affects trait discovery; if you were hoping for other scanning improvements, this mod won't help.
For Starfield explorers who hate the RNG of planet scanning and just want to complete their surveys without grinding. Also great for completionists who want to see all traits without wasting time. Skip if you enjoy the challenge of discovering traits through repeated scans or if you're on a mod manager that doesn't support script mods easily.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Starfield's script extender (SFSE) installed if required, though the mod doesn't list dependencies—check the mod page for any hidden requirements.
- Place the .pex file in the correct Data/Scripts folder, and if you're using a mod manager, follow its specific instructions for script mods.
- Test the mod on a new save or after a fresh scan to ensure it works with your current game version.
