As Elianora explains in her Twitter post, they had only been pretending to not know much aboutStarfield, and their surprise at the world’s detail was feigned, as they had actually helped place a lot of the clutter that you see aroundStarfield‘s world.

Elianora’s work with Bethesda’s games has been extensive.An interview with the studiogives you a window into just how much content they have created forThe Elder Scrolls 5andFallout 4. Through working with Bethesda’s Creation Club, they have also interacted with some of the devs, which Elianora describes as an incredible experience.

It’s difficult to overstate just how popular Elianora’s mods are in the community. TheirFallout 4armor compendium has over 3 million downloads, and theirSkyrimmods have also been downloaded millions of times.
Though clutter may seem like a minor factor in a game as large asStarfield, it actually plays a large role crafting the game’s atmosphere.
