🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure to place the mod in your Starfield Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex for easy installation.
Since the mod only changes sprint costs, it should be compatible with most other gameplay mods, but always check for conflicts if you use multiple tweaks.
If you're on PC, you can test the effect immediately by sprinting in-game—if it feels too easy or too hard, look for a config file to adjust values (if provided).
