📋 About This Mod
OverviewEnables the engine to load loose files from both the data directory in the root path of the game as well as the one found in your documents folder.
Files in the root data folder will take priority if both paths include the same one.
The plugin will also warn you if your StarfieldCustom.ini isn't set up for loose file loading (and optionally applies the necessary changes).
Pictures taken inside of the photo mode will still be saved to the default documents path.
The mod aims to be version independant and should remain compatible with future game updates.
Only the Steam release of the game was tested.
The Microsoft Store/GamePass version should also work but I'm unable to offer support for that one.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- High download count (90k+) shows it's widely used by the community
- Endorsement ratio indicates solid user satisfaction (561 endorsements)
- Recent update (Feb 2024) means it's likely compatible with current game versions
⚠️ Cons
- Requires KiLoader, adding an extra dependency for users
For modders and players who want to load loose files directly from the root folder, bypassing traditional mod structures. If you're already using KiLoader and need more flexibility, this is a must-have. Skip if you prefer all-in-one mod managers or don't need root-level file loading.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Ensure KiLoader is installed and up-to-date before adding this plugin, as it depends on it.
- Place loose files in the root folder exactly as the mod expects—check any included readme for folder structure.
- If you're using a mod manager, verify it supports KiLoader plugins to avoid conflicts.
