📋 About This Mod
"Live fast, die young and leave behind a pretty corpse, that's what I always say."
"You should say something else!"
This mod changes the game scripts so that you can loot regular Starborn enemies before they disappear and also delays their death FX to make it feel a bit more immersive. It will also apply to the player so you can see your pretty corpse before the game reloads. I made this change for my own game because I found it weird that the game would let you loot certain Starborn and not others, plus you can pickpocket the Starborn already for their items so it wasn't like being able to loot them would be terribly unbalanced.
Made using Caprica using decompiled scripts from Champollion
Requires Archive Invalidation to use
To install place the unzipped Scripts folder into your Starfield\Data folder or use your favourite mod manager

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 298 endorsements and over 16k downloads.
- Fills a real gap—Starborn enemies normally can't be looted, so this is a must-have for loot hoarders.
- Simple, focused change that doesn't bloat your load order.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Starborn enemies—if you're not hunting them, this mod does nothing for you.
- Potential compatibility risk with other mods that alter Starborn behavior or death effects.
- No updates since October 2023, so it might not be compatible with the latest Starfield patches.
For Starfield players who hate missing out on loot from Starborn enemies and want a quick fix. If you're a completionist or a loot goblin, this is for you. Skip if you don't care about looting Starborn or if you're worried about mod conflicts.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place this mod in your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex to avoid issues.
- Since it delays death FX, you might see Starborn linger a bit longer—don't panic, it's intentional.
- If you're using other gameplay overhauls, test this mod early to ensure no conflicts with Starborn AI.
