Star Wars Genesis is a free fan-made total conversion that turns Starfield into Star Wars: factions, locations, HUD, music and more. It's a modlist: hundreds of mods installed together by an auto-installer called Wabbajack.

How a Wabbajack list works
- Install Wabbajack and open the modlist gallery.
- Pick the list, then choose an install folder and a downloads folder. Use short paths on a fast drive, like
C:\Genesis, never insideProgram Filesor your Steam folder. - Wabbajack downloads every mod and builds the setup. With free Nexus you click "download" for each file; with Premium it runs on its own. Expect it to take hours and a lot of disk space.
- Launch the game from the list's Mod Organizer 2, not from Steam.
Rules that keep it working
- Don't update Starfield until the list says it supports the new version. The Nexus page shows the version it's working on. Turn off Steam auto-updates for Starfield.
- Follow the install guide's settings steps on the official site. They're part of the install.
- Don't download the Nexus patch files manually. Wabbajack pulls them.
- Back up your saves before updating the list.
Adding your own mods on top
You can, at your own risk. The official site and Discord have guidance. The safe way:
- In Mod Organizer 2, copy your profile first, and test on the copy.
- Add one mod at a time, at the bottom of the left-hand list.
- Start a new test save, check that locations still have their Star Wars names, then try your real save.
If a location shows its vanilla Starfield name, a mod is overriding the list. Disable your last addition.
