🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have the original Start Me Up mod installed first — this is an update, not a replacement.
Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle load order — this mod needs to load after the original and UFO4P.
Check the mod's posts section for known compatibility patches with other popular mods like Sim Settlements or FROST.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust (11,039 endorsements, 925,965 downloads) — this is a proven mod.
- Actively maintained (last updated July 2026) — you're getting a mod that's kept current.
- UFO4P forward compatibility means less headache when the unofficial patch updates.
👎 Cons
- Requires the original 'Start Me Up' mod — this is an update, not a standalone.
- No detailed feature list in the description — you'll have to dig into the mod page for specifics.
- If you're not into alternate starts, this mod offers nothing for you — it's purely for that playstyle.
