Can't start Trials of Tav mod

[CoffeeCup]

I tried to install the mod and followed what little instructions there were, but when I load my game I don't get the prompt asking me if I want to start the Roguelike mode. Does anybody have instructions for someone who hasn't modded BG3 before?

Have you at least tried reaching out to the mod author?

I feel like that should be more of a last resort

What do you mean no info?

Click on Requirements on the Nexus page
Required
Modfixer (always is)
https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/141

BG3SE from Norbyte (on the right of the page, Releases, brings you to the current release of this self-installing AND self updating script extender)
https://github.com/Norbyte/bg3se

And as for installing mods, you obviously need a mod manager for that

Yeah I was missing the mod manager, like an idiot. Thanks.

No worries mate, everyone is new to modding BG3 once and lots of mods forgo that info nowadays because everyone (seems) to use Vortex instead - but vortex has some quirks and usability issues with BG3 in particular....

I actually never had Vortex work, not even in Skyrim. I try going manual as much as I can.
