RATIONALE
Some of the typography in Starfield is pretty good. Most of it is… fine. But once in a while I’ll run across a texture that uses one of Microsoft Windows’ default fonts—like Calibri, Impact, or Verdana—and it might as well be a grain of sand in my eye.
Basically, I went to design school 15 years ago and it ruined my brain and now I’m making it everybody else’s problem.
CONTENTS
Over 300 (and counting) lore-friendly replacement textures for posters, decals, signage, food/drink items and more, using professional-grade design typefaces in place of awkwardly recognizable Microsoft® fonts from the late 1990s/early 2000s.
Except for the typography, most of the textures retain their vanilla design (though I’ve taken a few liberties). The changes aren’t meant to stand out; in fact, I’ve tried to make them blend into the game’s aesthetic better than the originals. This is obviously subjective.
Pretty much all these textures retain their vanilla resolution (typically 512px or 1024px). Future releases of this mod may include some 2048px(ish) images, but I have no plans for a “full 4K upscale” or anything like that.
As of version 1.2.0, you can now choose between Dvorak and QWERTY layouts for the in-game keyboards, with no extra file to install.
Go to Starfield’s Data directory under your “My Games” folder. This can normally be found at C:\Users\YOUR_NAME_HERE\Documents\My Games\Starfield\Data.
If the Data directory doesn’t have a subdirectory called Textures, create one.
Place the contents of the .7z file’s Main\Data\Textures directory in C:\Users\YOUR_NAME_HERE\Documents\My Games\Starfield\Data\Textures.
For Dvorak keyboards, also include the contents of the .7z file’s Dvorak\Data\Textures directory.
If you want to remove a manual installation, you’ll have to delete the files yourself. Maybe keep a copy of that ZIP file so you know which ones belong to this mod and which ones don’t.
ALSO AVAILABLE
Quantum Chromodynamics — a texture mod which replaces over 90 in-game “paintings” with my own original psychedelic/cyberpunk art.
