🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no extra steps needed.
If you're already past the level threshold, this mod won't affect your current playthrough—start a new game or load a save before the trigger.
Check if you have other quest overhaul mods that might touch the same mission—load order could matter.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Mod not working
Check load order and required dependencies. Read the full mod description.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Community-approved with 402 endorsements and over 101k downloads—clearly a popular fix.
- Solves a real annoyance: getting the DLC quest before you're ready and getting stomped.
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly one thing without bloating your load order.
👎 Cons
- Only works for the Shattered Space DLC—if you wanted similar gating for other quests, this isn't it.
- No documentation on how the level check is implemented—might conflict with other quest mods that alter the same mission.
- Last updated in October 2024—if the game has had patches since then, it might be outdated.
