For anyone who hasn’t yet checked out the Nexus since the game’s release, an inventory UI replacement mod has already been out for some days. It gives you a way more compact and useful inventory interface with clickable columns that you can sort by, and most importantly the value per mass column. The most important item stat in Bethesda games.
Another thing you can do is add temporary columns of many different stats to compare your items. It also shows that quantity of an item you already have while shoping. And probably other things.
Is the exe different for Gamepass?
It’s in a separate folder with special permissions, preventing any modification. afaik it’s not trivial to “unlock”
I use NileSoft Shell, a replacement for the stock Windows right click menu that adds the option to give you permission to a folder with 2 clicks. Worth it for GamePass mods.
I haven’t used Gamepass in a while, but moving the install usually works just fine with publisher DRM like that.
That’s not the case. The game folder is accessible… Game pass has been doing that at least since its had Bethesda games on the service.
That being said, the exe is technically different from Steam so the script extender doesn’t work. Not actually a big issue this early in the mod scene (most mods don’t use the script extender yet). That won’t be the case forever unfortunately.
