ALOHA! 🤙🏽
AudreyFromEarth was inspired by concept art for the Venator/Hunter Starborn spacesuit and decided to put a scarf on it. And it was a great decision, for it makes the Venator look that much more majestic. Just look at the pictures! The scarf not only looks good, but has physics applied, so it will waft about in the wind.
The original mod AudreyFromEarth built is Starborn Armor with Scarf (Replaces Venator), which is currently in a broken state due to the reindexing of mesh paths that happened when Starfield 1.11.30 was released. AudreyFromEarth saw that I had got it working again and permitted me to upload this fix, which I take it means they may not be choosing to update the original mod but rather allow the mod to continue its life here on the Concept Art Venator page.
My ability to fix AudreyFromEarth's mod is thanks to jmpz11 and their awesome NIF Migration Tool. All I did was run that bulk rename spell in jmpz11's port of NIFSkope on this mod, and it's good to go. I made no additional changes or modifications to AudreyFromEarth's original work, so what you're getting with this mod is precisely what you got with Starborn Armor with Scarf back when that was still working.
HOW TO INSTALL
Being that mod managers are secretly mind-control devices used by demonic forces to enslave all of humanity and I do not use them, I can't comment on how to install this or any mod with a mod manager. I enabled the option to download with Vortex, so you can try it, and hopefully Vortex just knows what to do with this mod's files, but I wouldn't be shocked if it doesn't. If there are issues with installing with a mod manager, and you know exactly what I would need to do to make this mod play nice with the mod manager you are trying to use, let me know.
For manual installation, however, simply do the following:
Now you can go play Starfield and enjoy your scarf!
HOW TO UNINSTALL
Simply delete the same files you installed in the HOW TO INSTALL steps from your game's Data folder, and also remove the references you added to your StarfieldCustom.ini if you installed with the INI Loader.
KNOWN ISSUES
- Not enough people truly respect the scarf.
- Despite looking so good, it does not earn affinity with the ladies.
- Unable to bribe UC Security with it.
- Doesn't get you VIP access at the Astral Lounge.
- Other starborn refuse to show their jealousy.
- Scarf Attack not working.
COMPATIBILITY
Other mods that tweak the Venator suit, which specifically ship with meshes\clothes\spacesuit_starborn_01\spacesuit_starborn_hunter_cape_f.nif or meshes\clothes\spacesuit_starborn_01\spacesuit_starborn_hunter_cape_m.nif, will conflict with this one. Other mods that tweak the Venator suit, but which do not ship with the aforementioned NIF files, should be perfectly fine (see the images section to note that I also have Thicc Spacesuit Starborn by dantemk2 installed, in case you thought that booty was popping, and Starborn Matrix Glowing Armor by InquisitorOverhaulsReturn installed as well, and there are no conflicts there). All other mods should be perfectly compatible.

For manual installation, however, simply do the following:
Spoiler:
1. Read my Best Practices with Loose Files article to get started with Loose files, or if you already have gotten started with loose files, read it anyway in case you're not following best practices or aren't aware of all of them
2. Manually download the mod files Concept Art Venator-10256-1-0-17196.7z as well as your loader of choice (Concept Art Venator ESM Loader-10256-1-0-17196.7z or Concept Art Venator INI Loader-10256-1-0-17196.7z) to some location on your computer (let's refer to this location as $CAVDownloadLocation). Alternatively, if you're choosing to install the Loose Files version instead, download Concept Art Venator Loose Files-10256-1-0-17196.7z to $CAVDownloadLocation instead
3. Extract the contents of the archives to $CAVDownloadLocation
4. Run the following command in PowerShell to unblock the files in case Windows blocked them (do not forget to replace $CAVDownloadLocation with the actual path to your Concept Art Venator downloaded files):
For example, if I downloaded and extracted the mod files to D:\StarfieldMods\ (i.e. $CAVDownloadLocation = D:\StarfieldMods\), then the command would look like this:
5. Drag the contents of the supplied Data folders from the downloads into your game's Data folder. You are done after this step if you installed the Loose Files version. But if you installed the BA2 version, proceed to the next step.
6. Activate your chosen loader (only pick one loader option, not both, and then follow either step 6a or 6b depending on your loader of choice):
6a. If you are using the ESM loader option, add Concept Art Venator.esm to the bottom of your load order in the Creations menu in the game before playing
6b. If you are using the INI loader option, be sure to add the following string to the very end of the line beginning with "SResourceArchiveList=" in your StarfieldCustom.ini (ignore the quotation marks):
And then be sure to add the following string to the very end of the line beginning with "sResourceIndexFileList=" in your StarfieldCustom.ini (ignore the quotation marks):
An example StarfieldCustom.ini is provided with the INI Loader.
Following these steps, your Starfield installation's Data folder should look like the following upon successful completion:
BA2:
Data\
- ...
- ...
- Concept Art Venator - Main.ba2
- Concept Art Venator - Textures.ba2
- Concept Art Venator.esm (only if you use the ESM Loader)
