mods

[seagrub40]

I have downloaded some mods. Then played to see if they work, they don't even though I enabled them. Is there something I not aware of going on. Information is sparse on this topic. Any suggestions on this topic? like how to find out if they are working.

Mods are not currently supported by Larian Studios nor do they take Modding into account when they update the game. If you Mod, don't play the game for progression as all your saves and installation can be wiped out at any time.

Modding is at your own risk and you need to study up on how to do it in BG3 properly. A good internet search will yield lots of good information. Even the forums here have a few summary posts on Modding BG3.

Good Luck
If you Mod, you'll need it.

That is disappointing. Is there a way to prevent updates for a game in Steam or GoG or any of the other shops? If I recall correctly you can not prevent a game from updating in Steam. Am I mistaken?

Well, the info you've given is a bit scarce, but here's a little how to:

- go to Nexus, select the mods you like (check that they are up to date, some mods can be abandoned and don't work with the current game version)

- mark those mods as "tracked", so that you may easily check if they have been updated

- read the descrition for the mods carefully, check the "bugs" tab for any pending bugs, maybe even check the posts to see if the author communicates with the mod users

- download BG3 Mod Manager and read everything on this page: https://github.com/LaughingLeader/BG3ModManager

- configure BG3 Mod Manager and Script Extender (it's incorporated into BG3 MM), check "Enable the achievements box"

- install the mods as described by the mod authors and on BG3 MM page (don't forget to export mod order to the game)

- check if the mods work. For most mods it's quite easy, e.g. this mod for better mini-map: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/2256

If mods don't work or you can't talk to NPCs in the game, then you probably need to add Mod Fixer (also on Nexus). Mod Fixer is a weird thing which, depending on conditions unknown to me, may be necessary or not. For example, I couldn't get my mods to work without it, but after patch 5 I had to delete it and all my mods still work.

Also I suggest you go to BG3 Guides -> Modding and find\read some articles about modding there.

Mind, that you will have to keep the mods up-to-date as they get broken after every big patch and might get broken after a hotfix.
