📋 About This Mod
My second attempt to add an extra unique crew member, that functions almost exactly like all other non-constellation companions. You'll find Astrid in the top floor of Paradiso stalking her next prey. As before she has her own little dialog tree and everything. This one is designed as an evil run companion, she's not going to be angry with you for killing good guys.
This mod was again made in 4 days for the cost of 1$, but it's a lot better than last time.
Installation
1. Download the zip file and merge the data folder inside the zip with the data folder in your /MyGames/Starfield/data folder.
2. Add Astridcrew.esm to your plugins.txt file.
If you also have my Sivan mod, download the zip file that includes Sivan support, and do the same but make sure Astridcrew.esm is below Sivancrew.esm in your load order.
Incompatibilities
This mod adds Astrid to every list entry that all the other companions are in. If you have mods that make changes to companions then the load order might be important, (see above for Sivan). Usually you'll want it after those mods but you can play around and see what you get.
If you have Gang's All Here, this mod MUST be loaded after. If you put this mod before Gang's All Here, the game will crash.
Q: I can see the subtitle, but I didn't hear her speak. Why?
A: All the voice files had to be added manually, I might have missed some. Report it and I'll fix it.
Q: I did thing* and the game crashed, is it because of this mod?
A: I don't know, maybe. Report it by giving a detailed description and I'll try to fix it. Make sure you download the right file depending on whether you also have my Sivan mod or not.
Q: I spotted an error, can you fix it?
A: Yeah, go report it.
Q: I can't find her after NG+
A: It seems that her variables don't get reset when going through unity, that is something I should fix but I don't know how. The manual fix for this is below:
1. use the "help astridcrew" to get her QUST formid XX000803 and her refid XX000CFB (the first 2 digits are determined by your load order).
2. type: completequest XX000803
3. type: resetquest XX000803
4. type: startquest XX000803 1
5. type: Prid XX000CFB
6. type: moveto player

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community traction: 219 endorsements and over 24k downloads show real interest.
- Adds a unique companion with a backstory and personal quest, not just a generic follower.
- Standalone means no conflicts with other crew mods—just drop her in.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2024—could be outdated if the game has patched since.
- Only one companion and one quest—if you're looking for a full expansion, this is a small slice.
For players who want a morally grey companion with a personal quest and a no-nonsense attitude. If you're tired of followers who bail at the first sign of danger, Astrid is your girl. Skip if you want a large content pack or multiple new crew members.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's file structure—if it's a loose file, just drop it into your game's data folder.
- Make sure your game is up to date, as the mod was last updated in December 2024.
- If you use a mod manager, import the mod and enable it—standalone mods usually don't need extra patches.
