I don’t know if crashing has been common for people with Starfield but for me it hasn’t happened at all.

But I’m glad you’ve been able find joy in Skyrim. With your specs, you’d probably be good to throw some HD textures and meshes, a good lighting and environment miss, and run an enb to get a real modern look.

I’ve always enjoyed ELFX for lighting. Lighting mods deal with interiors and that one has options for how dark you want your dungeons.

Lighting has a surprising impact on the atmosphere of Skyrim. A lesson they’ve seemed to learn from on Starfield.
