Starfield The Lodge Awakened Mod v1.1.3

                    
The Starfield Mod The Lodge Awakened turns the Lodge from a quiet story hub into a busy Constellation headquarters. It’s aimed at immersion fans and role‑players who want science, engineering, and security routines around them—real activity, not empty halls.
Mod features

Living staff: Scientists run tests in the lower levels, while mechanics and technicians service gear and fabricators.
Security presence: Guards patrol interiors, giving the space a believable, protected feel.
Environmental upgrades: New materials and placed details sell the “working HQ” vibe without distracting clutter.
Full Master version: The 1.1.3 release is fully playable now and designed as a foundation for future expansions.
Roadmap‑ready: Planned updates will rework the lower levels to be denser, more purposeful, and mechanically meaningful.
Community‑driven: The author actively evolves the mod based on player feedback, shaping a definitive Lodge overhaul.
Compatibility notice: Not compatible with other Lodge overhauls that edit the same space; use only one at a time.

In‑game impact and use cases
This Starfield Mod affects ambiance and narrative texture rather than stats. It makes the Lodge feel like a real headquarters you want to revisit between expeditions.

Story breaks: Return from a long run and walk into an HQ that’s actually working—labs humming, tools clanking, patrols passing by.
Role‑play hubs: A busier Lodge supports faction RP, crew meet‑ups, and dressing scenes for capture or streaming.
Exploration rhythm: The HQ feels like a launchpad. Drop in, reorient, then head back out with the sense a team is backing you.
Atmospheric payoff: Ambient life adds weight to Constellation’s mission, grounding artifact hunts in a believable organization.

Installation & Prerequisites
Read steps carefully and back up saves before installing. Avoid having your character inside the Lodge during install to prevent sandbox issues.

Preparation: Move your character to a location outside the Lodge and make a clean save.
Install: Download the mod and add it via your preferred manager, or place files per the included instructions into the game Data path.
Load order: Place after general texture/lighting packs but do not stack with other Lodge overhauls. Use only one Lodge edit.
Verify: Launch, enter the Lodge, and confirm staff AI, environmental additions, and patrols are active.
Troubleshooting: If the Lodge appears unchanged, recheck load order, regenerate your mod list, and ensure you weren’t inside the Lodge when installing.
