Turns the game's graphics into a potato to improve performance or just to enjoy pixels. There are four options to choose from:
The Good Potato: This option offers the highest quality, but it's still a potato.
Decent Potato: This setting looks really pixelated but can still be played fine.
Bad Potato: This is very pixelated, and you won't recognize who you see unless you listen to their voice
Pixel Heaven: Don't download this unless you want to be able to count the pixels on your screen (I'm not joking).
A few things to note:
After downloading the mod, you must move it to Documents\My Games\Starfield and replace the StarfieldPrefs.ini.
Right-click on it, click properties, and tick 'read-only' so the game can't change the graphics back into the default settings.
Before doing that, open the .ini file and find the line uDifficulty=0
Change that to reflect your difficulty, with 0 being very easy and 4 being very hard.
That being said, depending on which option you choose, you will probably experience at least a 10 FPS improvement in performance. I really recommend the 'Good Potato' option since it still actually looks kind of decent with good FPS improvements.
