Where to find your parents in Starfield

Guides
By Iain Wilson last updated 1 April 2026

Finding your parents gets you rewards if you have the "Kid Stuff" trait in Starfield

Finding your Starfield parents will earn you some rewards if you have the Kid Stuff trait. However, it's not obvious where they live in New Atlantis, given that it's a big city with lots of buildings they could be in. Once you do find them, you'll find that, as one of the Starfield traits, Kids Stuff has both benefits and drawbacks: your Mom and Dad will offer you unique items and gear throughout the game, but will also siphon off a bit of your cash regularly. If you want your gifts, or a chat with ma and pa, here's where you can find your Starfield parents and what exactly they do.

How to see your parents at Pioneer Tower in Starfield

Your parents live at Pioneer Tower in Starfield, which is the tall white building with gold bits in the New Atlantis Residential District on Jemison. If you arrive at that district on the NAT, then turn right with the transit car behind you, you'll see it straight ahead. While you'll receive a specific Activity to "see your parents at Pioneer Tower" following your initial visit to the Constellation Lodge, you don't have to wait, as you can go there as soon as you arrive at New Atlantis. There's an elevator in the Pioneer Tower lobby, so use that to reach the Family Apartments.

After a touching reunion with your Mom and Dad, you can collect the first of your rewards - head into your old bedroom and you'll find the High School Backpack, which provides an additional +10kgs of carrying capacity to help with your Starfield encumberance, although it doesn't have a boost ability so its is somewhat limited. As you progress through the campaign you'll see your parents at various other points, such as turning up at the Constellation Lodge to give you Sir Livingstone's Pistol, or inviting you home to divulge Grandpa's Meatloaf Recipe for a stats boost.

Starfield parents removing the Kid Stuff trait

(Image credit: Bethesda)

If you get tired of all this parental interference, or of the weekly stipend of credits you automatically send them each week, then you can speak to your Dad and choose the [Remove Kid Stuff trait] option. You'll have to go through a few more confirmation steps in this dialogue before it's permanently removed, at which point your parents are forced to move away to more affordable lodgings and you never see them again.
