After a successful beta testing phase, Bethesda released Title Update 1.14.74 for Starfield to all PC and console players. This patch has almost the exact same tweaks, fixes and enhancements as its beta build. So, in case you missed it, let’s take a closer look at it.

Title Update 1.14.74 improves the function of the stealth bar while around crowd NPCs. It also brings some general performance and stability improvements. To be honest, I didn’t see any major performance gains in the beta patch. Thus, make sure to temper your expectations. This update won’t magically make the game run faster on your hardware.

Additionally, Patch 1.14.74 resolves a Leadership skill issue that could cause companions to not speak up. Plus, it fixes an issue where loading a save that relied on missing content could place the Starfield player in an undesirable location. It also comes with several fixes for numerous quests.

It’s worth noting that Bethesda has added Lipsync animation data generation to the Creation Kit. This is a new feature, that wasn’t present in the beta update. So, good news I guess to all modders.

In total, this patch features 28 fixes, tweaks, and changes. So, as I said, this is similar to the beta update.

In theory, this update should be compatible with all the mods we’ve shared. So, here are some really cool 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. Seamless City Interiors is another must-have mod. 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. 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.

Like always, Steam will download this patch the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
