✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Decent traction with 161 endorsements and over 7,500 downloads, so it's got a solid user base.
- Gives you control over when the Shattered Space DLC kicks in, which is great for pacing your playthrough.
- Lightweight gameplay tweak that doesn't overhaul the whole game, just the start conditions.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 161 endorsements, so it's not a massive community favorite yet.
- Potential compatibility issues with other mods that alter quest triggers or DLC content.
- Limited to a single quest start condition, so if you want broader DLC tweaks, this isn't it.
For Starfield players who want to delay or customize when the Shattered Space expansion starts, especially those doing multiple playthroughs or wanting to control the narrative flow. Skip if you're looking for major gameplay overhauls or if you're fine with the default DLC trigger.
💡 Beginner Tips

- Check the mod's description page for any specific settings or configuration options, as the start conditions might be adjustable in-game or via a config file.
- Since this mod affects quest triggers, make sure to start a new playthrough or load a save before the DLC would normally trigger to see the changes.
