Is it safe to update Starfield?

Is it safe to update Starfield with mods?

Current verdict: Safe. Every patch-sensitive framework has explicit support for 1.16.244. Also check Address Lib manually (Nexus-only, not counted). Latest patch tracked: 1.16.244 (2026-06-11).

Why do Starfield mods break after a patch?

Every Starfield runtime update breaks SFSE and native SFSE plugins until they're rebuilt for the new executable.

Which Starfield frameworks does ModSafe track?

Automatically: Starfield Script Extender (SFSE). Linked for manual checks (no public release API): Address Library for SFSE Plugins.

What do the status labels mean?

✔Safe

A release explicitly supports the current patch (release notes, the maintainer's official page, or a stable build for that version).

◑Likely safe

Released after the patch without naming it, or the patch is over a week old with no breakage reports.

⏳Just patched, wait

The patch is under 7 days old and the framework hasn't updated yet.

✖Breakage reported

Open issues on the project's tracker say it broke after the patch.

✖Not ported yet

Minecraft: no build exists for that version yet.

∞Not affected by patches

Version-agnostic tools (mod managers, generic loaders). Not counted in the verdict.

?Check manually

Nexus-only mods we can't track automatically. Not counted in the verdict.

Where does the data come from?

Game patches come from official Steam announcements (app 1716740). Framework data comes from public release APIs (GitHub, Thunderstore, Fabric/Forge/NeoForge meta, Modrinth). ModSafe does not scrape Nexus Mods or SteamDB.
