Every once in a while, a mod comes along that just absolutely nails it. It doesn’t just tick the boxes, it tears the boxes up and builds a damn mansion out of them. That’s exactly how I felt stepping into TG’s “The Estate” in Starfield. I’ve checked out a bunch of player-owned homes before, some fancy, some functional – some just plain bonkers. But this one? This one is on another level.
For those of us who love the freedom of Starfield and want a true home base that’s both badass and brilliantly designed, this is it. TG’s The Estate is not only visually stunning but packed with clever features, hidden mechanics and a level of detail that honestly makes me feel like I’m underachieving in life. Best of all? You can plop this bad boy down on any planet you like.
Let’s dive into this absolute unit of a player home and find out what makes it stand out in a galaxy full of options. If you’d like to grab the creation, here’s a link to the official Starfield Creation page!
A Base You Can Call Home… Anywhere
The first thing that caught my attention with The Estate was the flexibility. You’re not forced to live on some random barren rock because that’s where the prefab fits. You can place this thing anywhere. Mars? Sure. The Moon? Go for it. Hell, I dropped mine in a secluded lunar spot just to flex a bit of interstellar minimalism.
Now, I will say the building placement system can be a little wonky. When you go to drop it, the controls get a bit inverted, like the game’s doing a handstand or something. It’s not game-breaking at all, just something to be aware of. TG even points it out in the description, so it’s not like it’s a surprise glitch or anything.
Once placed, though, you’re off to the races. You get immediate access to the entire mansion, and even get a couple of armed guards thrown in for free. These guys aren’t just window dressing either – they’ll actually fend off raids from mercs and ecliptic thugs. Not a bad welcome gift for a 300-credit house. 😎
Before you even step inside, there’s already plenty to explore. A slick outdoor pool, a BBQ area, and even some sneaky little hidden entrances to the main building. It already feels like some kind of billionaire’s weekend retreat before you even touch the front door.
Welcome to the Good Life
Walking through the front door is like stepping into a different game. The shift in quality from most prefab homes or even base game structures is staggering. From the lighting to the furniture, everything is designed with such love that it almost feels out of place in the best way.
You can interact with nearly every chair and couch (obviously), but the real magic is that every room can be customized. Don’t like the decor? Hide it. Want your own couch, your own posters, your weird collection of New Atlantis plushies? Knock yourself out. The mod gives you full control over everything, and that includes the vibe.
Speaking of vibe, there’s a room that straight-up transforms with a press of a button. Two statues on a table can be activated, and boom – your calm living space morphs into a full-on nightclub. I’m talking Aurora, neon lights, party drinks, and the kind of late-night energy that screams “I’m a level 300 addict, but still know how to have fun.”
Bonus points if you’ve got TG’s Galactic Harvest creation, which would be the perfect partner mod here. Imagine whipping up your own cocktails in the middle of space, DJing your own lobby party, and then crawling into a luxurious bed upstairs. Absolute goals.
You can even customize the music in the lobby, which honestly had me messing around for far longer than I’d like to admit.
Functional and Fabulous
This isn’t just a pretty house to look at. Every room seems to have a real, functional purpose. Take the clinic, for example. It’s got a bacta-tank-style healing pod (shoutout to my Star Wars crew), pharmaceutical stations, and a research lab all tucked away off the main lobby. You can cure ailments, craft meds, and play science fantasy doctor all in one go.
Then there’s the security office, which hosts every mission board in the game. No matter which faction you roll with – Crimson Fleet, Freestar Rangers, whatever – you can grab bounties or clear your name from the comfort of your home office. Convenient doesn’t even begin to cover it.
The pool room is absurdly big. I’m talking actual Olympic-length vibes. Functional showers that cleanse all conditions, beds for lounging, vending machines, and even a little chunks vendor for a post-swim snack. I chilled here with D.E.R.E.K. and had a moment, okay?
And then there’s the strip club area. It’s incredibly well done. It even includes a system where you can shop at any vendor in the galaxy through a lore-friendly console. You don’t even have to leave your house to go shopping anymore – peak introvert energy.
Not Just a House – A Treasure Trove
Upstairs? Bedrooms. Like, a lot of them. Eight or nine by my count. One of them is dripping in credits and gold bars just lying around like it’s GTA Online. Most have private bathrooms with decontamination showers and all that good stuff. I don’t even sleep in real life this luxuriously.
Then we hit the room that broke my brain. A private nightclub that you can literally program. Want a nebula backdrop? Check. Want strobe lights and fog machines? Got it. Want to turn gravity off for some zero-G dancing? Yep. Somehow, this one person created an entire modular party zone in Starfield, and it feels like magic.
You’ve also got a massive kitchen you can strip and rebuild to your heart’s content, and an aquarium that not only lets you customize the fish inside but has working doors. Yes, aquarium doors. Nemo is in there too, and let’s just say he’s been bulking.
Hidden inside the central floor is a secret elevator that takes you to a giant empty storage vault. Throw in your 15k-capacity storage crates, and you’re good to hoard like the loot goblin we all secretly are. Another shop console is tucked away here too, in case you need to grab more junk you absolutely don’t need.
A Space Mansion Worth Every Credit
Now, not every room is 100% perfect. The library, for example, looks amazing but feels a little empty. You can’t really interact with the books or place your own collectibles. It’s a missed opportunity, for sure. I would’ve loved an auto-sorter or some kind of display option for all those random slates and comics I find on my travels. Maybe something for a future update?
But let’s get back to gushing for a sec. There’s a master bedroom that has a TV dropping from the ceiling, complete with a functioning remote. You can also turn it into a fireplace.
Deeper into the building, there’s a hidden vault accessible via a very unassuming button. This thing has everything: gold bars, loot, crazy floating rocks, ultra-storage. It makes your money back in pure loot alone. You’ve also got your own personal firing range. And this isn’t some lazy shooting gallery. You can spawn enemies – Ecliptics, Terrormorphs, Starborn – and farm XP and quantum essence. There’s even a panic button that heals you and slams down blast doors if it gets too real.
And if you don’t want to be tied to this one home? TG has made parts of it deployable anywhere. The range, the bed, the vault – can all be built on any outpost, giving you modular freedom without sacrificing the house experience.
Worth It? Oh Absolutely.
At 300 credits, this might be the best value creation on the Starfield marketplace right now. It’s everything a spacefaring adventurer could want – form, function, flair, and a splash of ridiculous sci-fi luxury. Even better, it’s made by one person. TG (aka Tank Girl) is well known in the modding scene, and honestly, if Bethesda’s not trying to hire her already, they’re missing out.
The Estate doesn’t just show what’s possible with Starfield’s modding tools – it redefines it. Between this and the recent Watchtower drop, plus rumors swirling about future creations and DLC, we are in the golden era of Starfield home life.
If you’ve ever wanted your own slice of the galaxy with style, function, and more features than your actual real-life house… this is the one to get. Go grab it, explore it, customize it, and make it your own.
Happy decorating, explorer.
