How to modify Traits in Starfield
Officially, Starfield does not provide an in-game mechanism to add new traits to your character after the initial character creation process. However, it is possible to modify the character’s traits by using Starfield console commands. These means that, unfortunately, it is not possible to do so on the Xbox or PS5 versions of the game.
By utilizing these commands, you can remove one trait and replace it with another. Here’s how you can do it:
- Open the console by pressing the “@” key.
- Type the command: player.removeperk [perk id] to remove the desired trait. Replace [perk id] with the ID of the trait you want to remove. Refer to the table below for a list of all the perk IDs for each trait.
- To add a new trait, type the command: player.addperk [perk id] into the console. Again, replace [perk id] with the ID of the trait you want to add.
Here is the list of every Trait and their perk id:
- Empath – 227FD6
- Extrovert – 227FD7
- Introvert – 227FD8
- Wanted – 227FDD
- Alien DNA – 227FDA
- Dream Home – 227FDF
- Hero Worshipped – 227FD9
- Freestar Collective Settler – 227FD5
- Kid Stuff – 227FDE
- Neon Street Rat – 227FD3
- Raised Enlightened – 227FD2
- Raised Universal – 227FD1
- Serpent’s Embrace – 227FD0
- Spaced – 227FE2
- Taskmaster – 227FE0
- Terra Firma – 227FE1
- United Colonies Native – 227FD4
Note: Using console commands will disable achievements in the game. If you still want to earn achievements while using console commands, you can download the Achievement Enabler mod from Nexus Mods, which allows you to earn achievements even after using commands.
