    My gut feeling is that the procedural generation thing in Startfield somehow absorbs some people’s need for mods.

      Yes, clearing out the exact same building 40 times is much more entertaining than having a different building layout. /s

      No, not really. After Starfield released mod scene EXPLODED capital letters, there were hundred new mods every day. However, without proper tools 95% of those mods are very simple reskins and modders got burned out and bored on this fast. Now we are 8 months after release with still no tools and that enthusiasm is largely gone. Part of it will still be back, but the best moment to establish a vibrant mod community has passed.
