📋 About This Mod
Hello everyone, and welcome to my latest mod, Lore-friendly Backgrounds, Skills, and Traits: Cowboy Pack.
Version 1. 0 brings in a total of 15 BRAND NEW role-playing choices for players to choose from, all relating to becoming a cowboy. From new backgrounds like Gunslinger, to new traits like Bunco Steerer, this is the go-to mod for all space cowboy characters.
The goal for all of my mods is to be "lore-friendly"ish to the starfield universe but also add in something to that will allow players to roleplay and continually come back to the game. Each background, skill, and trait are carefully planned, written, and chosen but I'm always up for feedback.
Backgrounds:

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fits the space cowboy fantasy perfectly—great for role-players who want that Firefly vibe
- Solid download count (19,451) shows real interest despite modest endorsements
- Adds a decent chunk of content: 15 total new options for character creation
⚠️ Cons

For Starfield players who want to lean into the space cowboy archetype with more character creation options. If you're a role-player who loves Westerns in space, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls—this is purely additive content.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this adds new backgrounds/skills/traits, make sure to start a new game or use the console to re-spec if you want to see them immediately
- Check your mod manager's load order—place this after any other mods that edit character creation lists to avoid overwrites
- If you're on PC, you can preview the new options in the character creator before committing to a build
