Civil NPCs

Vanilla Starfield NPCs have three small immersion-breakers that add up: they head-track you from across a room (the across-the-plaza stare), they barely blink (an unblinking, paused-statue look), and they re-greet you with a "Hey Captain!" every single grav-jump — because they re-spawn beside you with their 15-second same-actor greeting cooldown already expired.
Civil NPCs is a surgical eight-record plugin that fixes all three. NPCs only turn to look at you within about 2.5 meters instead of 30. Blink visibility is doubled so blinks actually register. Same-NPC greeting cooldown extends to five minutes so the post-grav-jump crew chorus goes quiet.
That's the whole mod. No new records, no scripts, no patches required, no script extender, no DLC dependency. Single master (Starfield.esm), achievement-friendly, save-safe to install and uninstall mid-playthrough.
Built and verified byte-for-byte against vanilla data — every record is an override of an existing vanilla game setting, sharing the vanilla FormID, so the engine swaps the value cleanly and nothing else changes.
A V808 Studios catalog mod. Surgical, self-vetted, base-game-only.
Main features:
No-stare — NPCs only head-track you within ~2.5 m (vanilla: 30 m). No more being watched from a plaza away. Natural blink — Eyelid up/down durations roughly doubled so blinks actually register; blink interval slightly tightened. Faces feel alive instead of paused.
Greeting calm — Same NPC won't re-greet you for 5 minutes (vanilla: 15 seconds). The "Hey Captain!" chorus from your re-spawned crew after every grav-jump goes quiet. General hello + greeting cadence also lifted for fewer ambient interruptions.
8 GMSTs, nothing else — no new forms, no Papyrus scripts, no DLC dependency, no script extender, no asset packs. Achievement-friendly — pure value overrides, no game-side flagging.
Save-safe — install or uninstall mid-playthrough without consequence.
Requirements: Starfield base game. No DLC, no other mods required.

Strip any equipped armor or clothes from your fallen foes! Or simply loot-all with 1 button. Steal items from knocked-out targets instead of pick-pocketing and waking them up!

Turns Gravity Wave into a proper “force push” power, using ragdoll physics instead of the vanilla knockdown animations. Designed to be fair and balanced.

Makes the Chronomark watch visible on your left wrist, as it always should have been. Also equips the watch on other specific members of Constellation.
