> Installation <
Extract in the usual way to the Data folder in your install path.
Then go to: \Documents\My Games\Starfield\
Open or create: StarfieldCustom.ini
And add the following lines:
sTestFile1=xatmosPerkUpVendors.esp
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=
Change the TestFile # to one that is not in use (1-10).
Land on Venus and sleep for 2 days and 1 hour to make sure vendors reset.
If the above doesn't work, throw your PC out the window.
Perk Up - Richer Galaxy is a small gameplay mod for Starfield that boosts vendor credits and increases the availability of ammo and resources for sale. It's for players who find the default economy too restrictive and want a smoother trading experience without overhauling the entire game.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (3,236 endorsements) — this is a proven, popular mod.
- Solves a common frustration: vendors running out of credits and ammo.
- Lightweight and likely compatible with most setups since it only tweaks vendor data.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in September 2023 — may not be compatible with the latest Starfield patches.
- Doesn't address other economy issues like pricing or loot balance — it's a one-trick pony.
For Starfield players who hate the grind of selling loot and constantly running out of ammo. If you want a more forgiving economy without a full overhaul, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive economic rebalance or if you prefer a challenging survival experience.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod in your Data folder and enable it in the game's mod list or via a mod manager.
- If you're using other economy mods, load this one after them to avoid conflicts.
- Check the mod's page for any notes on compatibility with the latest Starfield update before installing.
