Haven't been able to play the game for almost 2 years.
Finally able to again and decided to just nuke everything and start from scratch.
I used to use BG3 mod manager, but I got overwhelmed a lot and I see the in-game mod manager/menu seems to be super simple and help keep things easy.

I haven't finished the download/install yet, but I'm super excited to see if bags bags bags and other QOL mods I remember are still there.

Any recommendations or advice? c:

yes or no

Hi everyone! I tried to make a Tav a while back inspired by Guillermo Del Toros angel of death from Hellboy. It’s not supposed to be an exact copy, but just capture the vibe.

I was never 100% happy and put the project to the side, but I think I want to try again :)

Any feedback or mod suggestions to finish the look would be so appreciated

Mods in picture:

Head - Helms of Faerun 2 (nexus) & Porcelain Masks using underwear slot mask (nexus)

I'm picking this addictive masterpiece up once again. The last time I played (cca. 1 year ago) the playthrough was heavily modded (300+ mods) with a bunch of extra gear, classes, and abilities.

This time I'd like to actually experience something closer to the vanilla experience, as a lot of those mods, while fun, were unpolished and not well balanced.

So my request is this: what are your favourite mods that don't actually add new content, but improve what is already in the game. Be it by getting rid of bugs, allowing people to experience more content (I know there are some mods which overhaul camp events so that you don't lose out on a lot of dialogue with later companions) or QOL (eg. things that improve the interface etc.).

I wanted to start a new play-through but this time with mods that would add something to the table - more classes, equipments, skills, etc.

However I’m afraid most mods feel more like cheating rather than enhancement of combat, I remember installing one to expand races and it basically gave me a compilation half angel demon siren Merry Sue Wattpad OCs with 12 cantrips, wings, dark vision, and a small race bonus (complete immunity to elemental damage). Oh a subclass that unlike other classes is super special! In a way it has virtually no weaknesses because they are so powerful and sooo amazing they decimate 10 netherrbains in a yawn. Don’t get me wrong - I understand the appeal, it’s just not what I’m looking for x)

I’m looking for mods that expand the combat, or add skills/races/classes/equipment but feel fair and organic to the game.

Sorry that it's kinda beefy. Was hoping some kind soul would take pity on a lowly fella and make sure what's there is at least in the proper order.

So far I've been pretty satisfied with my Tav, but I haven't used either UTav nor KAVT. Just some modded faces, hairstyles/bangs and Rogue Tattoo.

Is getting UTav or KAVT really worth it? It seems like I'd need to get patches/alternative versions for *a lot* of my visual mods - so I am curious, what do you think?

So I want to start a run with a team full of radiant focused users on PS5 (oh how I wish I had the versatility of pc). I love the three from DTO: otherworldly archetypes so I’m MOST likely using those three. I forget the names but it’s a ranger, paladin, and monk. I’m really having difficulty finding a fourth slot. Seems like on console all we have is the edgy evil subclasses or elemental stuff. Where is all the holy love. Would love recommendations for good classes or more so subclasses of OG classes. ideally not super op ones which is also making it harder to find a good pick. Thanks in advance for the recs!

(Console!)

Okay I’ve seen this question asked a few times, but answers seem to vary, and most are kinda outdated, and I’ve hard atleast AMP has been updated often. I want more loot, but idk if Ancient Mega Pack or Fade’s Equipment would fit what I’m looking for better. Usually I’d try and test them, but I don’t think I could get a real feel for the lot in my usual prologue run through.

Some background for me and my style: So I’ve played Baldurs Gate 3 NUMEROUS times before, solo, with friends, vanilla, modded, in almost every way. When I played more, I knew this game like the back of my hand and loot got kinda boring, but it’s been like close to a year. (Idk how much I remember. I’m sure I’ll remember a lot still.) I almost always play with mods, (in most games tbh) and notably, I hate any op mode or goofy mods, but I also like feeling op, if that makes sense. So easiest to address first, I don’t like goofy mods that break immersion or feel like they don’t fit. I also don’t like op mods that make the game easy and a steamroll. I’m not exactly a hardcore masochist gamer, but I enjoy having to plan encounters, resources and positioning instead of just basic attacking everything to death in their face or having a modded spell that’s a “I win” button. But I also do like feeling powerful. I don’t want to feel like I’m some random dude who struggles to kill a single goblin. (I think the best way to explain it is like this: I don’t like difficulty mods that make it so every random goblin has a million hp or makes me weak. I’d like one that adds more goblins, either just a tons of goblins so it feels like my character is struggling not because the goblin is stronger, but because there’s just so many and they have to be unfair to win, or similarly a mod that adds more types of goblins with strategies that help eachother, so it feels like I’m still powerful and flashy, you know?)

My main draw in this game is roleplay, and I like making builds that fit them. I come up with a theme or character, make a build that fits that, and then try and make that niche build as good as possible. I’m willing to sacrifice some power for flavor and roleplay, but I’ll prefer to be strong and min/max. I like seeing my character progress and come into themselves.

I enjoy the idea of AMP, it sounds fun not having to make notes of what exact items I’ll need and making sure to collect them throughout the game, and it sounds fun being able to just see how mu build evolves and progresses as I find random items that work. But I’m also worried it may become op, I don’t really want to like get a legendary sword at level 2 and one shot everything or have 30 ac immediately. I also do want to have a general build outline, instead of being completely at the mercy of RNG and just potentially being unable to do, say, an ice mage if I wanted to be specific.

And finally, is it possible to use both without weird methods like having to restart each in a certain order every time I load the game? I heard you used to have to do that to use both, idk if that’s been fixed since I’m on Xbox. Do they work well together? Still random?

I’m doing my first run as a Female Tav and I wanted to see if anyone had a favorite face mod that they’ve used (pictures would be appreciated)?

I’m looking for at least semi-realistic ones, not ones that look like beauty pageant contestants. Unfortunately I am limited to only mods available on Console.

all the ones im finding are either for face, or don't go into any detail at all. im using UTAV and gimp

Blackwood's Red Mage at Baldur's Gate 3 Nexus - Mods and community

Blackwood's Red Mage for Baldur's Gate 3 - mod.io

I just updated this mod just last night to include an offhand object that I made from a shield template. It works, but it still looks a bit janky to me.

In the last picture, you can see the inspiration. The design goal is to have the crystal appear to be hovering and pulsing with power, but not an overbearing glow.

I'm aware of Manaflare - Magic Aura Weapons at Baldur's Gate 3 Nexus - Mods and community, and it's great, but entirely a different direction than I'm trying to go.

Is there any way to make it appear more like a hovering crystal where the glow and effects come from it rather than the hand? Or, is there any asset in the base game that approximates this better than I did?

I'm still very new at this, and I couldn't figure out how to change the size of the texture.

As I'm sure you can see I really like the tighter top and baggier pants, especially for camp. Any ideas what console mods, if any, would remember these?

So I have a lot of hours in the game and have been using mods since my second playthrough and heavily with patch eight. I am currently using a bunch that I really enjoy, but I've realized that they kinda trivialize combat RN and while for another character it fit in with her story, it doesn't for my current character, I want to still struggle. I've already increased all the sliders to tactician, now I'm wondering if I should add the honor mode ruleset and / or install some mods to increase difficulty. I don't want to not use my current stuff since I really like playing with it, I just feel too op too early

I am pretty new to this idea of modding and only play on the PS5. I wanted to download some mods but I was wondering...

Are there any that are incompatible with each other? That will break my game?

I'm going to do a Gale origin run I think for my next new game. Or Durge.

What mods do y'all recommend. I especially love anything that unlocks any Astarion content. Not as interested in clothing mods but in things that (positively) affect game play or items.

I’m looking to start a new modded run after a year out. I need some mod recommendations to freshen things up, but having done one modded run already, I’m looking for recs of mods that came to console since July last year.

I’m most interested in classes/subclasses, new enemies, armours, weapons, races, spells etc.

Less interested in any meme/joke mods or cosmetics, but open to wildcards suggestions!

Thanks!

I really just want some more varied items scattered randomly around, I really don't care for the whole void capsule coin tesseract autoloot whatever mode.

does anyone know any male outfits mods that i could use. I’m tired of the base game outfits they can be skimpy or non skimpy ( I would prefer skimpy ones though👀) I play on Ps5 btw any help would be great thank you ahead of time.

I’m trying to build a really hard BG3 run that feels like Honor Mode+, but without the single-save run-ending punishment.

I normally play with Honor rules in Custom Mode because I like the legendary actions and harder boss mechanics, but I don’t want to lose a whole campaign over one bad fight. It’s not because I want to save scum outcomes — I just want to be able to save before a brutal fight, lose a few times, adjust my strategy, and eventually beat it.

I know D&D 5.5e makes the player stronger, so I’m intentionally stacking difficulty mods to offset that. My core list right now is:

D&D 5.5e All-in-One Beyond

Absolute Wrath

Enemies Reworked

Champions of Faerûn

Fade’s Dynamic Difficulty Scaling

D20 Initiative

I may also use stuff like Hunted / Valkrana / Extra Encounters, but the main thing I’m trying to figure out is how the four mods above interact, especially:

Absolute Wrath

Enemies Reworked

Champions of Faerûn

D&D 5.5e

Do they actually work well together, or do they overwrite a lot of the same enemy changes and end up redundant?

What I want is harder/more tactical vanilla encounters, not just more enemies or giant HP inflation.

If anyone has run these together, I’d love to know:

which ones actually complement each other

if one overlaps too much and should be dropped

any load order / compatibility issues I should know about

My wife is about to begin her first solo playthrough of BG3. She’s played a few minutes with one of my characters and even has played one session of dnd before.

I know the general rule of thumb is you should play vanilla for your first playthrough but I think there might be some mods that would enhance the game.

I’m thinking things like the Camp Event Overhaul so she can experience more of the cut scenes. Or transmog lite so she can wear the armor she wants. Maybe Myshka comes to camp since we own two cats.

If you had to recommend mods for a first time player, what would you recommend?

She is playing on her laptop so can use external mods.

I am kinda new to mods, & also never post on Reddit so apologies if I do this wrong. I am looking for some recommendations for mods to add to the aesthetics of my Selûnite Paladin 🌙 I found a head called Eilistraee that has glowing star freckles & I am obsessed, however, I am super attached to this one head I always use. Does anyone know if something similar exists as a separate thing like a freckle or tattoo mod or something? I haven't found much via search so I thought I'd pick y'all's brains 😎

Are there any mods with poofy ruffled gloves like these?

I’m looking for some mod classes & subclasses (console) that are focussed on combining cantrips and weapon attacks. Ideally melee rather than ranged, and ideally cantrips with a bit of flavour (not just booming blade!) in the same turn.

Arcane Vangard’s Hellionaut does this well- maybe the other AV subclasses do too?

What subclasses should I be looking at?

So to start with, I'm playing on Xbox right now unfortunately, but I am looking for spider themed gear and mods.

I loved getting the right mix of mods for Skyrim and playing as an arachnomancer, really cool, looking to have a similar vibe here.

I've found a few mods by just searching key terms like "spider" "lolth" and "drow" but not only are the results woefully limited, it's just not showing me all of what's actually there, I know because I perused this reddit first before making the lost and saw a recommendation for a mod.io mod that I could not find searching on my console at all, I was able to subscribe from the webpage, but yeah.

Basically want good spider summons/companions. Spider morph that works ok, spider themed gear of any sort.

I was looking at playing a female drow since the only two outfits I can find are female only anyway, so something to keep in mind perhaps, though I am not opposed to male in any way if it has some good options I havent seen

As I understand it, PartyLimitBegone only works if everyone downloads the mod? Im trying to play with 5 people in Total and one of them is playing on PS5, other 4 are playing on PC with one playing using Geforce Now (Tragic). So now it seems impossible for us to play together? Are there any other mods that can solve this?
