---Terminals, Crafting Stations and Research Lab Now Available---
Check out the description page to find links to the companion mods to this one. They are all available in 30, 60 and 120 FPS versions and support standard and large text options
I can't seem to get this one to work. No errors or issues, or anything, but the research terminals are still the default white background even after adding the files from this mod. Doesn't make a difference whether I install them to the My Games location or the main install location. I was wondering if you might know anything about compatibility issues with any of the following other mods that I have installed, or might have any insight as to why this mod might have no effect for me.
My other mods currently installed:
120 FPS - Smooth UI Dark Mode for Terminals 120FPS Dark Mode for Mission Boards 120FPS All in one Address Library StarUI Easy Read - Display Screens Main AIO Easy Read - Crafting Stations AIO 120FPS Luma Beta Enhanced Player Healthbar ShipColorize Habz DerreTech Starfield Achievement Enabler Plugins.txt Bigger Ship Size Limit StarField Shader Injector
Is there perhaps another location where Starfield reads the interface folder besides the My Games and main installation locations? I'm wondering if the reason this mod has no effect is because for my installation, I haven't placed the files in a location where they actually override the vanilla files the game is using.
Hi @gluonman! It's not clear to me from your comment where you are installing the files. They need to be extracted to the Data/Interface folder in your game installation folder. The archive is set up to work with Vortex so you should be have issues if you allow that to install the mod for you.
If you already have the files installed there (either manually or through a mod manager), then my guess would be a conflict with the 120 FPS Smooth UI mod as they use the same files for the Reasearch Station. To resolve the conflict, install the 120 FPS Smooth UI mod first, then install this one and allow it to overwrite the Smooth UI files (it will only overwrite the Research Lab files).
I appreciate your response. I apologize for not making it completely clear where I had placed the files (I installed manually as I don't much care to use mod managers). In any case, I had correctly placed the files in Data/Interface (the one in Documents/My Games/Starfield), and I had done this after having installed 120 FPS Smooth UI in the exact same location, and purposely allowed the files from this mod to overwrite the ones from 120 FPS Smooth UI so there wouldn't be any conflict. It turns out, however, that the true reason that this mod wasn't working for me (I have fixed it now) is that when I downloaded your files, my Windows 10 operating system flagged them as suspect and blocked them. This lead me to discover that this has happened with a lot of the Nexus Mods files I've downloaded for all of my mods, and has the potential to cause the files to be unreadable by Starfield. In case anyone else reading this is having the same issue I had, the solution was to simply unblock every file that got blocked. The slow way to do it would be to right click on each file and select Properties, and under the General tab (which should be the default tab when Properties is launched) there's a checkbox to unblock the file beside a warning message about why it was blocked. Then hit apply and then ok. But a much faster way is to open up PowerShell and issue the following command:
dir {Path\To\Files\Directory} -Recurse | Unblock-File For example,
dir 'C:\Users\{USERNAME}\Downloads\Easy Read - Research Laboratory 120 FPS-1529-2-0-1696221389\' -Recurse | Unblock-File
That command will unblock all files (including in subfolders) inside whatever directory you've specified as the path. I now do this to any folder I download from Nexus Mods prior to copying those files into my Starfield installation. And to cleanup my Starfield installation, I went ahead and ran that command on my Starfield directories to make sure none of the files I had already installed previously were blocked.
Since unblocking my files, this mod is now working for me and my Research Stations are in dark mode. Hope this helps someone else who had the same problem.
I'll be that guy and ask for you to fix the Mod title from "...UI-..." to "...UI -..." because MO2 hates me and everytime I fix it myself on MO2, when there's a new update, it install as a different mod, instead of prompting me to replace the old install.
You're just awesome, it's probably, at least, top 3 modders for SF right now. I say that based on the supply you offers and the support you give to your mod's users (adding max limit to Crafting Stations was a huge upgrade for me, you and StarUI are the only mods I use complete package). I'd donate if I could, but at least I can endorse and give kudos!
There are going to be a few refinement tweaks across my mods in the coming week or so before they’re packaged into an AIO. Gasps to take your feedback on board
Please if possible create one for the Terminals / PCs / Computers. Whatever ya wanna call them. Love this little mod series so far as a dark UI kinda guy.
Thank you for making this!
edit: I see another user made one, which you linked to. Thank you none the less!
You're welcome! I am working on one for mission boards, so hopefully that will be available sometime over the coming week. I don't like to release things I can't test myself in-game so I'm trying to crack on and join all the factions so I can see their boards
Yes...but. It's a bit of extra work at the moment. It doesn't form part of the interface files that are edited as part of this mod. It's a separate texture file in a different location. It will be something I get around to taking care of in the mid-term.
Thank you!! SEO suggestion, maybe put "Dark" or "Darker" in the title to make it easier to find; I had to hunt to see if someone made this and I'm glad you did
It seems like there is a little directory weirdness going on with some users that can depend on platform and previously installed mods. The game reads from both directories but seem to favour whatever is in the My Games folder to the exclusion of anything in the Steam directory, even if the My Games subfolder is empty after removing an old mod.
If you've got it working, that's great. It won't cause any harm being there

Is it possible for you to adjust the appearance of the screen on appropriate devices to match the dark UI?
