help me please

I'd been playing with a few mods for a while, through Vortex, and wanted to use a mod that would give me a legendary hand crossbow, since there aren't any to acquire in the game without one. But for some reason, all the weapon mods I tried just didn't work. No matter which one I tried, the items just absolutely would not appear where they were supposed to.

After complaining on one of the mods' post section on the Nexus, I was told to export my load order before starting the game. That helped with a different problem, regarding an error message, but still didn't get the mod to work. But then I made one of the stupidest mistakes of my life. I tried purging my mods and re-deploying them. Not only did that not work, but now all of my mods are disabled and I can't get them to work again. The "mods" section of my Vortex shows them all enabled, but the load order list is blank and I get a weird error message that I can't make any sense out of, whenever I try to refresh it or import from the game. It also keeps saying that the modsettings.isx file was reset, even though it seems to remain exactly what the file from the Basket of Equipment mod page shows. I've even tried running the game after deleting that file, and it still doesn't come back on its own, despite Vortex claiming otherwise.

Can anyone please help me? I don't even care about those weapon mods anymore. I just want to play with my old mods again.

I don't think vortex works very good for bg3 mods, try the bg3 mod manager

For mods related issues consult the mods authors.

Use baldurs gate 3 mod manager. Vortex doesn't handle well the game at the moment

[LArc7thHeaven]

Make sure your modsettings.lsx is clear from any mod

[pezenwever]

In my experience you only want to use Vortex once the game has been out a long time. For games with excellent mod managers available i wouldn't even consider it.

[ShockedHearts]

stop using vortex. tis sucks majority of the time.

for this game use baldurs gate mod manager. much more straight forward.

I would only ever use vortex for games where its the only option. and even then i reconsider even modding at that point lol

I've tried using the mod manager, but I can't get it to work. Every time I try importing a mod, I get a message saying, "No mods imported. Does the file contain a .pak?", even though that's exactly what I'm trying to import.

What mods/files did you download ?

The mod fixer: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/141

It just shows on the bottom and won't move to the active list.

Also, I can't use mod manager download, because it still wants to download through Vortex and I don't know how to change that.

Use the manual download, Import in BG3MM, will end up in "Overrides" at the bottom

Okay, it looks like I finally got my mods working again. I don't know how it took me so long to figure this out, but while I was looking at the mod manager project page, I noticed that it said to make sure there were no subfolders in the mods folder. So I moved all the mod pak files out of the subfolders and deleted them, and sure enough, that got my old mods working again. I should've figured that'd be the solution, seeing as how that was how I got the Basket mod to work, back in EA.

(I did lose one mod that's apparently no longer on the nexus, but... I think I can live without it.)
