Want to change your appearance in Starfield? One of the most impressive systems in Bethesda's gargantuan new RPG Starfield is the character creator, which allows you to use the same tool that the developers themselves used to create every NPC in the game. But if you're not quite happy with how your character's appearance turned out, worry not! You can still change it at any point during your playthrough.

In this guide we'll walk you through how to change your appearance in Starfield with ease, simply by seeking out one of the many Enhance! Genetics Facilities scattered about the Settled Systems.

How to change your appearance in Starfield

To change your appearance in Starfield, you'll need to head to a store called Enhance! and speak to its store manager - for 500 Credits they will then let you change your appearance. Enhance! shops appear in a number of larger cities and settlements in Starfield, but the easiest one to find is in the Commercial District of New Atlantis on Jemison. From the transit car, head around the left side of the pool, past the Infinity building. The Enhance! shop is on your left.

Once inside, speak to the person behind the desk and ask to make use of their services. Once you select this dialogue option, you'll be able to spend 500 credits to change your appearance via the same body and face customisation options that you were given in character creation at the beginning of the game.

Here's the full list of things you can change about your appearance at an Enhance! shop:

  • Body Form
  • Body Type
  • Walk Style
  • Skin Tone
  • Facial Appearance
  • Name
  • Pronouns

Bear in mind though - you can only change the physical appearance of your character. You can't change your character's background or traits by visiting an Enhance location. But worry not - we have another guide that explains how to remove traits in Starfield.
