Let’s Walk Together – Walk with NPC – Hotkey walking and running speed adjustment
This mod increases your walking speed to that of NPCs and decreases running speed slightly to a jog. The walking speed is also adjustable on the fly.
Version 1.2
Rewritten and simplified. CapsLock is now a simple toggle like in vanilla. AimDownSights bug fixed. “Should” prevent you from accidentally removing a speed buff from an item.
The toggle doesn’t work in scanner mode, but I have no idea why.
UPDATE the StarfieldHotkeys.ini if you were using the previous version
After updating, remove any speed boosting items and wait for speed buffs to expire if you have them, then separately type the following commands into the in-game console:
player.setav speedmult 100
player.forceav speedmult 100
after that, use as normal. These commands should also always fix your speed if something goes haywire.
INTRODUCTION
Since Bethesda still can’t match your walking speed to that of NPCs and the running speed makes us sprint everywhere, I’ve decided to fix it on my own.
Other mods have attempted a similar thing, but they either allow you to run and sprint at exploitable speeds, or require you to bind a secondary key to fix the walk / run movement sate to the correct one. My mod disables sprinting while in the walking state.
FEATURES
1. Walk speed adjustment
increases the walking speed by 37%
the walking speed is freely adjustable (from 92% to 137%) in 5% increments with the mouse wheel
2. Running speed adjustment (optional)
reduces the running speed by 13% to a jog (this also influences the sprint speed by the same amount)
3. CapsLock state agnostic movement mode
Pressing CapsLock while running makes you walk
Pressing CapsLock while standing still or walking will ALWAYS make you run, regardless of it’s state
Was a quirk of older implementation
4. Walking disables sprinting (engine limitation)
the separation of waling and running speed multipliers requires me to disable sprinting while walking
VERSIONS
Default (Walk and Jog) affects both walking and running/sprinting speed. Walking speed is adjustable with MouseWheel

INSTALLATION
Bind Run/Walk from CapsLock to a different key (preferably not to LAlt)

If you have already installed a similar mod, or are using Starfield Hotkeys, or already have a working StarfieldHotkeys.ini in your Documents\My Games\Starfield folder:
Paste the contents of my StarfieldHotkeys.ini [Macros] and [Hotkeys] section to your preexisting file
If you do not have previous similar mods, or it isn’t working for any other reason, look in your Documents\My Games\Starfield folder:
1. If you already have a StarfieldCustom.ini, add the lines (and remove the spaces, NEXUS does weird stuff):
[Menu]
b Use Console Hotkeys=1
s Console INI =StarfieldHotkeys.ini
2. otherwise copy both StarfieldCustom.ini and StarfieldHotkeys.ini to your Documents\My Games\Starfield folder
3. Enjoy
UNINSTALL
Delete StarfieldHotkeys.ini in your Documents\My Games\Starfield folder
or
Remove the lines added by my mod, then in the in-game console type:
player.setav speedmult 100
player.forceav speedmult 100
epc (optional if you can’t run / are stuck walking)
F.A.Q.
Why is walking speed 137%?
It’s a good approximation of NPC walking speed. Also, at 138 and 141 some 3rd person walking animations are replaced with jogging/running animations and it looks janky. If you’re playing in 1st person only, feel free to increase this to something like 157 or even higher.
Why is the minimum walking speed 92%?
Just needed a lower bound. If you need it lower for some reason, feel free to edit the StarfieldHotkeys.ini
Help, I can’t sprint when walking
This is intentional, otherwise you could sprint 37% faster than normal, which is not immersive
Help, I can’t even run, only walk
Try toggling your new in-game walk/run button, then press the CapsLock hotkey
It doesn’t work while the scanner is out
I know, and I have no idea why. Just Bethesda things
Something else, yadda yadda
