📋 About This Mod
Longer Ship, Outpost and Item Names
A simple but effective mod that patches the maximum character count for naming your Ship, Outpost, Weapons, and Spacesuit/Boostpack/Helmet. By default you can only use 14 characters when naming your ship for example, which I happen to think is laughably, abysmally low! Now by default the maximum character count will be 25 for all of these, and you can set a number manually in the included INI settings file. The maximum allowed is 255.
How to Install
-
[]Make sure you have SFSE installed.
[
]Extract the Data folder from the included zip into your Starfield game main install directory (not the My Games directory).[]Optional: Change the ShipNameMaxChars value in the INI file to a number of your choosing, 0 is the minimum 255 the maximum.
[]Start Starfield! (Using the SFSE loader)
