Visible Chronomark Watch

As of December 3rd, 2024, I no longer have plans to actively mod Starfield.

This mod is unlikely to receive further updates.

Bethesda has recently allowed paid mods to be tagged as Achievement Friendly on the Creations platform, with no plans to make accommodations for free mods. They are also allowing mod authors to re-upload free mods as paid mods to get the Achievement Friendly tag, at the request of console mod users.

This effectively disincentivizes free mods from being published, as it will push console users to stick with purely paid load orders in order to continue earning achievements. This was the final nail in the coffin for my interest in Starfield, and I no longer wish to support the money-first modding ecosystem that Bethesda is attempting to create.

Thank you to everyone who has used my work. I am happy to have been able to share things which have improved the game for so many people.

The Chronomark Lifepack Interlink LPV 6. 0

It represents the HUD, played a notable role in the game’s marketing, and even had a replica made of it for the collector’s edition… yet this poor little watch is surprisingly absent in the game itself. It’s normally only seen two times during the first mission, and as part of the Constellation space suits.

This mod makes it possible to see the watch on your left wrist during normal gameplay, utilizing the same model you see in the first mission. It works by equipping a hidden “Chronomark LPV6” apparel item to your character automatically, as long as you are not wearing something with long sleeves that would completely cover it up or cause clipping. All vanilla apparel is accounted for, so the watch will properly appear or disappear depending on which outfit you are wearing. 53 outfits for male characters have the watch visible, and 39 for female characters.

The watch will only appear on your character after Barrett hands it to you at the start of the game, or after receiving the starter items in the Lodge’s library in NG+. This is retroactive and works on existing saves if you have passed these points already.

The watch has also been added to the four main Constellation companions, and it can be seen on them if you give them outfits that don’t cover it up (since their default outfits all have long sleeves). Matteo can also be seen with the watch since he allegedly goes on his own off-screen adventures, and his default outfit does not cover it up. Vladimir and Noel could also have been given it, but I chose to not add it to them since they canonically stay at home base full time.

As of version 1. 0. 2, your doppelganger in a certain NG+ variant will also now wear the watch.

Finally, I made some tweaks to the decal texture for the watch. The ATMOS • AMET and S
