The mod comes with 2 files you probably need. One main file and the StarfieldCustom.ini, if you don't already have one.
Game Folder
Move the content of the main mod folder, the PowerAttackCostReduction.txt into your Starfield folder, where your Starfield.exe is located.
Example: X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Starfield
If you are a Vortex user, it should work automatically.
Move the content of the "Power Attack CR - StarfieldCustom.ini" download, the StarfieldCustom.ini into your X:\Users\yourUserName\Documents\My Games\Starfield folder
Important If you are already using a mod, which comes with a StarfieldCustom.ini make sure you correct the ini file like this.
sStartingConsoleCommand=bat PowerAttackCostReduction;
or if you already other similar mods to this installed it can then look like this:
sStartingConsoleCommand=bat PowerAttackCostReduction; bat LessSpongyEnemies; fov 100;
