Modders ‘NatCatCute’, ‘Deman445’ and ‘mayonaiselady’ have released a new immersive quest mod for Starfield, called The Pumpkin Protocol. And, since this is new free content for Bethesda’s latest title, we highly recommend downloading it.
Going into more details, The Pumpkin Protocol pulls you into a suspicious facility, where now you are caught up in a high-stakes fight with a foundation. Players will explore a secret facility filled with strange oddities, lots of security, and subtle puzzles.
The mod also adds some items to the game. For instance, you’ll get a new armor (the Entity Containment Armor) and a new Legendary Weapon. Plus, the mod introduces a new follower, Pumpkin The Terrormorph.
You can download the mod from this link. Since this new quest is on New Atlantis, the modding team recommends you start it when you are on a lower level. If you are not, fear not. You will still be able to play it.
From what I can see, this quest mod will take you around 30 minutes to complete. So, don’t expect this to be anywhere close to the length of a DLC-sized mod or a fan expansion.
Speaking of Starfield, here are some other mods that you can download. This mod adds cool quests when you explore new places. There’s also a mod that makes dead bodies move realistically, as well as a mod that aims to overhaul the game’s enemy AI. In September 2023, we shared the Disk Cache Enabler Mod, which helps reduce how much space the game uses on your computer. There’s also a mod that gives characters super realistic eyes. Halo fans can use this mod to play as the Master Chief himself. Earlier this month, we also shared a DLC-sized expansion mod that allows you to create whole colonies with giant mechs, defense turrets, a farming system and more. Oh, and if you don’t like the default camera views in dialogue, there’s a mod to disable them.
Sprinting Stuttering Fix is another cool mod that stops the annoying stutters when you run. Then, you can grab this mod that makes the game run smoother by fixing a bunch of scripts. Plus, I highly recommend using the Seamless City Interiors Mod. You can also get StarFinance, which brings an advanced financial system. And don’t forget these two must-have mods that make the game look and feel better with a new User Interface and cooler Particle Effects. On the other hand, this mod lets you travel between planets in real-time. We also have this mod which adds 50 new space encounters to the game. And let’s not forget this Fleet Expansion Mod. Finally, this mod brings a dynamic weather system into the game, and this mod improves the behavior of NPCs.
Lastly, here are all the best Starfield mods you can download.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Can't wait to redownload 150gb just for one quest.
Damn combat looks terrible, I'm glad I never pirated this trash.
This space chimping simulator (there's a mod that attempts to fix that, btw), is the definition of trash and mediocrity. I made the sacrifice to try it out once but the DEI checklist design is a serious stretch, even for sci-fi!
yeah. this game has quest like send this black dude the money some redhead owns him and tell him she has a crash on him so he goes to her, of return some gay dude's ex boyfriend ring to him. WOW WHAT AMAZING MISIONS FOR A SPACE HAN SOLO GAME, I AM SO HOOKED. Seriously in another mission you have some gay jew who wants to preserve his jewish culture and history and in another one you got a safe heaven for people who dont pay their bounties…CRIMINALS made by a bunch of white women.
With quests these bad, no wonder people play old games. Clearly these quests are made by a bunch of women who as the guy in charge said "write what you know" so they wrote sims quests instead of sci fi. Is sci fi really this dead now? No one can write sci fi? How hard would it be to hire a sci fi author to write some good science fiction for this game?
Also before everyone says "you complain about nothing, the game has so much content just dont do those" my brother in christ, the game has less actual content than morrowind, less quests, less faction quests, less dungeons, most of them are not just procedurally generated, but are in fact the exact same 40 dungeons that you keep seeing over and over again with the same loot in the exact same place. Snorefield is a game that if you want some action, you are better off picking up the radiant wanted quests instead of playing the actual authored content which they lied saying it has the most of, but even morrowind has more of it and it was made by like 40-60 people in a few years not hundreds of people in 8 years.
Does this make the game good???
nothing will make this game good
now now dont be a negative nancy, if you change the graphics because they are too desaturated, change the plans so they are more interesting, change the procedural generation so its like daggerfall, add hundreds of new locations and areas that are hand made, re write the story and all characters, delete most sidequests and make new ones with choices, create entirely new factions with a faction system, change the leveling system and the skills, replace all weapons and enemies, change the combat so its not so bulletsponngy, overhaul the crafting and building system, change all the spaceships and and the way the handle and change all their models, create a new newtonian physics space flight system, add many new space missions, change the economy so there is an actual space economy and add 1000 mods and change the way the game runs mods and optimize it, it could be a decent game to waste 30 hours in doing crap and running around. I say running around because the maps are too small for vehicles and you teleport everywhere with your space ship, you dont space travel. Also overhaul the vehicle system and add enemy vehicles and races.
An entire re-write from the ground up is the only thing that would make this game good.
no but watching the video, its amazing how much better custom guns look instead of the ones made by bethesda.
My plan is to replay the game in 2030.
Replay? Gluten for punishment.
It's "GLUTTON". Gluten is a structural protein naturally found in certain cereal grains. But hey keep being a mouth breather…
Hahaha, yes. I should have gone to bed hours ago.
lols! Been there bud. Been there.
More like play the game in 2030, IF the modding community decide to rewrite the entire game. Mod the entire game to make it a different game that doesn't have empty planets filled with nothingness.
taaaaaamae
Noice.
You’d have to be straight-up asking for pain to stick with this thing
151 hours of play for the moment, level 50, I only start the DLC (which does not seem terrible in passing).
To say that I failed everything after 15 hours of play, I had a lot of trouble hanging on the start. You just had to ignore the "too many details to be treated!" from the start.
31 mods installed thanks to DSOGAMING and NEXUS, it is impossible to return to the original ugly graphics, there it's great!
Replacement of the DLSS 3.5 original by DLSS 4, it's ok
Now this new proposed mod has launched properly on New Atlantis but it is in English … I will test all the time.
