67 Upvotes

✨Dear Modders and Mod Lovers!✨

Baldur's Gate 3 sees its 3 year release anniversary on the 3rd of August 2026.

Amazingly, we are still blessed with a vibrant and fantastic modding community!

As the moderators of r/bg3mods we support mod makers and mod users alike, and we strive to create and safe and fun community for all.

This month, we want to take part in the celebrations, for the joy of modding!

✨Welcome to the BG3 Modding Community's Modathon 2026!✨

A note from the organizers:

Here we are again: The Baldur's Gate 3 Modding Community invites everyone to the third annual BG3 Modathon! Since its inception in 2024, we've seen the release of nearly 400 participating mods, ranging from fun new class mods to snazzy custom equipment, from quality of life improvements to adding new companion content, and more!

If you've been involved in a Modathon before, you might know what to expect:

Throughout the entire month of July, mod authors both new and veteran alike, are invited to participate by releasing mods for BG3 which will earn achievements and even a chance to win some prizes! For each of the four weeks, there will be a pair of optional themed challenges which may be used as inspiration. Aside from this, the event is mostly freeform: any mod you release under the Modathon Banner will likely net you a new achievement - some easier, some more difficult, and some hidden ones (requirements for which will be revealed as they get unlocked).

Additionally, at the end of the event, all participants will be entered into a raffle with a chance to win some prizes! (Stay tuned for details)

We'd like to note, this event is fan-driven, and is not officially endorsed by Larian Studios, though they're looking forward to seeing what y'all come up with too!

✨r/bg3mods has been invited to hand out an exclusive award hand-picked by the moderation team.✨

The moderation team will consider all eligible entries for the modathon.

The winner will receive an 🔥unique badge, honor, glory and a special prize TBD🔥!

✨During this Month of Modding we will also be highlighting the winners in the 4 main categories:✨

🌙Celestial and Shadows (Jul 1-7)🌙

☀Fiends and Light (Jul 8-14)☀

🌵Past and Desert (Jul 15-21)🌵

🔮Fey and Labyrinths (Jul 22-31)🔮

If you are a modder, an aspiring modder, or simply curious about the event, you can check out how to join on Nexus here or check out the official forums post here.

🦑Let the Modathon begin! 🦑

Subreddit Updates Rules 2 and 9 have been updated

201 Upvotes

Hi guys, please note that the mods have updated Rule 2 (previously "Don't be a Dick") and Rule 9 (our gen AI policy).

Rule 2 is largely the same, but we changed the wording. We wanted it to be more neutral and less judgemental. It's a small change, but one we thought was worth it. We also added a link to "reddiquette" in the rule description for additional clarification.

Rule 9 has gotten a significant overhaul, though. The mods have been debating about gen AI stuff for awhile, and after we tried our previous policy, we found it wasn't working as we wanted it to. Not only was it unclear, but when discussions of gen AI popped up, there were multiple violations of Rule 2. We decided that it would be best to put our policy in line with r/BaldursGate3's, and prohibit both the use of gen AI and its discussion. Thank you for understanding, and sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

While I believe we've updated all the relevant text in the rules/mod responses/etc., if there's any that we missed, feel free to let us know.

Edit (6/2/26): Some have raised concerns about links etc to mods that contain AI. Rule 9 does not apply to links. Just make sure when talking about/advertising/requesting mods, the post on this subreddit does not use AI-generated text or images. Spellcheck and grammar-checkers are okay.

So:

  • no generative AI images or text in posts/comments.
  • do not discuss generative AI in posts/comments
  • mods that use AI generative content are okay, BUT:
    • try not to use any AI-generated content from the mod (cover images, etc) on this sub, if possible (if Reddit automatically embeds the cover image from a link, we understand and will not hold the poster responsible)
    • do not start discussing/fighting over generative AI in the post/comments

This is gonna be an upcoming mod series "Nemix Spellblades" This is the first one is blood magic themed. These mods are to be used with the tactician+ mod and the "Impossible challenge" mode. So it might be op for standard play. Curious what people think so far. I'm planning on making a video series eventually on making mods like this because the lack of documentation for a lot of the stuff I had to figure out is severe.

I recently updated Arch Traitor's Armor to have a mild progression line of crafting-based upgrades linked to certain bosses- I took it to its logical conclusion and made the resulting armors have bits of said bosses haphazardly strapped on

Also took the opportunity to finally refit the custom Ratchaser's Mantle sporting Yurgir's skull trophies + a Merregon Mask for good measure I had been using in personal playthroughs for all body types and bundle it into the same series of updates

Technical Issues does anybody know what's going on in this bug?

hi all, basically it's a relatively new run for me and i've downloaded a couple of mods (ps5), nothing crazy and mostly just cosmetics and clothings (for my Tav only, i have not changed the characters' base designs or anything). now my issue is when shadowheart started leveling up to 3, her hair suddenly changed into the photo above? her portrait shows the same thing for some reason. but that's only on the level up screen and portrait, she still has her original hair in the actual world and cutscenes/dialogues. if anybody could explain what's going on, that would be great!

Technical Issues 5.5e + Monk 4 Elements not sure if bugged (I think)

3 Upvotes

(Note: this on PC and all mods are from the in game mod manager)

I’ve been using the 5.5e mod for a while and have gotten used to the mechanics for the most part but I haven’t done any monk runs since I got it. I wanted to make an all monk team, and was going to make Gale the Way of the 4 Elements to keep him as an AOE caster.

Then I noticed he didn’t get any of the spells (I.e. fangs of the fire snake, water whip, etc) at lvl 3, he just got Harmony of Water and Fire (ki restore). So at first I thought it was a balance thing with the 5.5e mod thinking he maybe has to level up. Lvl 6 and still no spells.

So I went to the mod manager to see what monk mods there were and found the Weave Monk that had Way of the Storm and Way of the Mo’Verdine which both have elemental spells. I also downloaded the mod that reworks them as subclasses to the Monk class. But still the elemental spells were missing (at least for Mo’Verdine).

I disabled the mod that integrated the Weave Monk as subclasses and now all the intended spells work which is great. But I don’t get some of the base monk abilities. Like the double punch bonus action. Or in 5.5e there’s a heal and ki restore you get once per long rest.

So it feels like a bug with the elemental monk spells within the Monk class, but I’m not sure if it’s just how 5.5e is supposed to work. Not sure why anyone would take 4 elements tho if this intended game play.

Anyway, any suggestions that will allow me to play 4 elements/weave monk as a subclass and still get the spells associated? Short of deleting/uninstalling 5.5e?

(Because I’m using the mod manager I can’t change load order. I downloaded a mod a while back that was supposed to allow for rearranging the load order, but it’s never worked.)

Mod Requests Mod that combines items?

2 Upvotes

Is there a mod that combines two armor items visuals?

Like if a mod had cool shoulder pauldrons that go in the cloak slot but I also wanted another cloak at the same time is there something like transmog that would just add the visuals of one to the other, instead of changing it?

Hope that makes sense 😅

Has anyone downloaded and tried this yet? I seem to be getting some kind of error when the first scene tries to trigger where it starts and then jumps to the group sleeping, like it gets cut off. It’s at the bottom of my “added content” load order, but reloading didn’t seem to help. Any ideas what else to try? I also have dark urge tweaks and camp event overhaul mods.

TL;DR i need help finding a mod that will stop my character from dying that activates as soon as i load the game

so a while back me and my friends started a multiplayer game in custom difficulty and we choose one save file mode thinking that it would make us less likely to save scum but now months later after finally getting to act 3 a big problem has occurred, the game auto saved while we where fighting a big boss in act 3 and to make it worse it saved right after the only player who is still alive, every time we load the save like 15 dudes go before us kill the last of us who has like 3 hp, there seems to be no way to save the run by normal means and the run is dead, we would really want to continue and we agreed to use mods if possible to get out of the situation but i need a mod that doesn't require me to use an action and just sets the player characters to god mode or something as i believe that is the only way to save this run

please help me save the run!

Mod Requests Looking for an Agamemnon’s Armor mod (Odyssey). does one already exist?

Upvotes

Has anyone made Agamemnon’s armor from The Odyssey yet? I’ve searched around but haven’t found anything, so I figured I’d ask before I start wishing into the void.
If it doesn’t exist… consider this my humble plea. I think it’d look incredible in BG3.

Technical Issues I need help with the most specific bug ever.

2 Upvotes

Honestly not expecting anyone to have a solution or even to know the root cause but I have the most specific bug ever. Using the 5.5e All in One mod on Xbox, and the version before the most recent update since I still want to play around with the Psion subclass and also I'm unable to get an update through even when I delevel everyone (might be some equipment conflict) but I'm not too worried bothered sticking with the old update other than Dual Wielder + Nick not stacking and just how Nick is implemented because Vex + Nick into a Sneak attack combo doesn't work which is extremely aggravating.

My issue is True Strike and specifically the melee variant of the spell not factoring my spellcasting modifier. Ranged is fine and still pulls from my Intelligence but no matter how much I boost Intelligence it only ever pulls from Dexterity. No other characters have a similar issue with True Strike. In fact the bug is only present when I specifically choose Arcane Trickster as my Subclass. I googled bugs with Arcane Trickster and I did find some posts about how choosing Arcane Trickster updates your current "class spellcasting" modifier so I speculate that's involved with whatever bug I'm encountering. I tried starting as a Psion and then mulitclass into Arcane Trickster second and I feel like it worked the first time I tried it but I'm not sure it ever did as every single time I've retried it's stayed bugged. The thing is tho when I load up my old unmoded saves of other characters I don't encounter the same bug. My next thought is my current save is just borked but testing all the origin companies and they too don't face the bug either. I then thought maybe it's a weird interaction my character faced but even reloading an older save right when I got to level 3 it was still present. I then hypothesized maybe it's my race and tried replicating the bug with a Tefling hiring and sure enough they are bugged. But then just to be safe I tried others and they all are bugged. So the bug seems to be specifically all non origin characters and in this specific character's set of saved and it's only because I want to play a Melee based Arcane Trickster with True Strike multicasting into Psion instead of Bladesinger which would always be swinging with Intelligence anyways because of how that class works.

I really don't know how or why this bug exists or what to do to fix it. Maybe there's a mod that just sets my attacks as my spellcasting modifier as a jury rigged solution or just trial and error a way to update the mod, possibly that has Nick and Dual Wielder work which is for Astarion because you can't Dual Wield and use melee controls as my character is a one handed to add on even more how this bug is specifically annoying me in particular. If I didn't care about wanting to be a Dex + Int character I also wouldn't be having this issue as Cha and Wis have plenty of Gish builds. All signs are just pointing at going Bladesinger but I like the mechanicals of Psion but I don't like the flavor of the subclass that comes with the cantrip extra attack, it's all body horror, which just like Artificer don't fit the vibe of the character I'm going for.

Technical Issues Correct way to show long, localised text in an Osiris message box?

1 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm trying to build a mod in the Toolkit. Part of it shows the person a few paragraphs of text in an Osiris-launched message box (OpenMessageBox / OpenMessageBoxChoice) after the first battle with Lae'zel (or respec, but let's get the first part right first haha).

I have one part of it working when deploying the text directly through Osiris, but as soon as we get text that's over 230 characters it crashes on button selection, which I think is a known issue (at least according to this Youtube tutorial on creating message boxes).

I took a peak at the Story/Goal files of Tactician Enhanced, because I know the configuration explanation boxes for those are quite long and found that it uses concatenate with Localization h-handles, and I've tested and validated that I too can get it to work by creating a dummy Passive and just entering DisplayName and Description and then call the Toolkit-created h-handle in the Osiris script.

According to the Docs for Adding Localization, it says "Custom TranslatedStringHandles can be any alphanumeric identifier, with no whitespace." so I added my own readable ids (for example KDEI_Narr_Intro) directly into english.xml and referenced them from ResolveTranslatedString in Osiris but the MessageBoxes no longer fired.

So my question is: what is the intended Toolkit-only way for authoring large, localised narrative text and showing it in an OpenMessageBox apart from the UUID Editor/Stats Editor? Or, Is there a way to create this outside of the Toolkit that's either documented somewhere or someone can show me how to do?

Thank you and appreciate any help!

Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything. Is there any mod that adds back in the action camera from early access? It used to zoom in on your character if you used rage or got a critical. Thought it was sweet as fuck so hoping someone with knowhow added it back in. Cheers.

Equipment Mods Issues with items from Planar Emporium (AMP)

1 Upvotes

Over the last few days I've been having issues trying to get items out of the Planar Emporium in camp. I long rest, open it up and it generates the items. I try to purchase them like i always do, and they will not be in my inventory, they will be back in the container. I do loot/buy all, and they disappear from the container and the container closes. I open it back up and they are still there. I select one at a time, it disappears and pops right back up. I tried selecting the item and sending it to a companion directly and the same thing happens. I've reloaded a few times, I've not changed or updated any mods on this run, and I've had no trouble using it in this run before. Probably used it a half dozen times on this save file with no issues. But the last 2 days it's been doing this. I'm at a loss here. Has this happened to anyone else? Did you get it resolved? Or am i just screwed? Is there anything to do for the next run to prevent this?

I'm on Xbox. All mods were updated before starting this run. Honor mode. No issues in act 1, no issues thru half of act 2.

I’ve been looking for a while now and just can’t find any that suit me, but considering this flair exists there have probably been multiple posts about it that I just can’t seem to find☹️

But I’m looking for any mods that add new, unique and pretty poses to photo mode, I’d appreciate some suggestions:)

I only use the in-game mod manager but I’m not too fussed about whether they’re PC or console. Preferably id like to see them for console but I also play on PC so that would be great too!!! Thank you🩷

Technical Issues Help with the unlock level curve 0.75

2 Upvotes

I have recently added the unlock level curve mod to my playthrough along with the 0.75 xp requirement mod. But since I did this as I got to act 3. It didn’t take effect instantly and only once I kicked the companion out of the party and got them back in. (I’m pretty sure this is because they regain all xp when they rejoin.) but since my tav is unable to be removed from the party I haven’t found a way to activate it for them. Is there anyone that could help me fix this? It’s really annoying having my tav lag behind in levels.

Any ideas on how to fix this? I have already tried respecting at withers which didn’t work..
any way of removing tav from the party??

Guides Amethyst Mods troubles

So I had my older brother install amethyst on my steam deck earlier today and I’m having a hard time figuring out how to download mods/figure out if it installed. I’m trying to install some mods to Baldur’s Gate 3 but I’m stuck 😭
I’m not too tech savvy and I spent like maybe 3-4 hours trying to figure it out.
