How to Add or Remove Your Traits in Starfield

Officially, Starfield does not allow you to add new traits to your character after character creation. So you can’t replace traits that you remove with different traits through any in-game activity. However, it is possible to replace traits using Starfield console commands.

Method 1 – Using the Console

To remove a Trait, open the console with the tilde ( ` ) key and type the following:

(Removing a Trait)
player.removeperk [perk id]

Replace the [perk id] section with the ID of the trait you want to remove (the IDs are listed below).

To add a new Trait, type the following into the console:

(Adding a Trait)
player.addperk [perk id]

For example if you want to remove the Introvert trait and replace it with Extrovert. Simply enter the following commands below.

  • player.removeperk 227FD8
  • player.addperk 227FD7

List of all Traits

  • Alien DNA – 227FDA
  • Dream Home – 227FDF
  • Empath – 227FD6
  • Extrovert – 227FD7
  • Freestar Collective Settler – 227FD5
  • Hero Worshipped – 227FD9
  • Introvert – 227FD8
  • 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
  • Wanted – 227FDD

I believe you may remove or add as many traits as you want but I suggest using only 3 perks as it doesn’t break your immersion of the game.

Note: Using these commands will disable achievements, but if this is a real issue for you, you can always download the Achievement Enabler mod on Nexus Mods, which allows you to earn achievements even after using the commands.

Method 2 – Removing Traits without the use of console

Depending on what you want to remove, there are several different ways to remove a trait in Starfield. Some can be removed surgically, some with credits, and some by talking to the right people – it all just depends on what the trait is.

Here’s how to remove every trait in Starfield without using the console:
