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!
