🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have mod support enabled in Starfield (via the in-game mod menu or by using a mod manager like Vortex).
If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid conflicts with other mods.
Visit Earth's landmarks after installing to see the skeletons—they're placed at specific locations, so explore thoroughly.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Great for lore nerds who want the game world to feel more grounded and grim
- Simple concept that adds a lot of atmosphere to Earth exploration
- Solid community backing (188 endorsements) and a healthy download count
👎 Cons
- No detailed feature list or screenshots in the description, so you're going in somewhat blind
- Only touches Earth landmarks—if you wanted skeletons elsewhere, this won't help
- Last updated in September 2024, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Starfield patches
