how to play with 3rd party mods??

[Jon Eros]

the game is not letting me start. it says i should disable 3rd party mod.

NO.

their mod list are barely useable mods in it, and not the hexblade subclass yet that i want.

how do i play with 3rd party mods?

I hate to tell you but as a modder, I updated all my mods in less than an hour. Then re-added them all back into the game. I also added 3rd party mods like 5e spells, 5e scrolls, and Combat Randomizer to the game.

With all the mods in place the game starts without issue and runs just like the patch never happened.

I DO NOT use their mod manager at all and do not suggest using it unless you only use its mods through it. Otherwise remove all mods and files in the mod foloder and delete you profile folder to start over then use the latest BG3MM to add them back in. Or like me just manually edit your mod settings file and add them yourself.

Simply not true, I literally have 3rd party mods in my game rn and it works fine (SE, 5espells, customization mods, outfit mods, etc.)
they work fine
Delete the modsettings, and don't open the BG3MM, place mods directly into your mod folder as a pak files, open the game and enable them with new internal mod manager

What?

3rd party mods always break and have to be re-coded after every hotfix or patch not just this patch.

Are people really this clueless or just trolling?

Not actually,
Most mods will be fine,
The mods that tend to break are mods that make use of a script extender.
Script Extender would then have to be updated to the current version of the game and that would mostly fix those mods.

For the most part if you are careful about mod selection you could avoid having a version issue with the game. However well knowing myself how often I tended to download every mod when I got started in modding well its not hard to imagine most newbs would not even be aware of the issues.

omfg so much misinformation flying around here.

3rd party mods through nexus still work. You need to update BG3MM for starters, which had an update I believe yesterday.

THEN you need to use mods that are updated to work with patch 7--AS YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO DO WITH MODS. Some mods *have* to be updated. Some mods from patch 6 work just fine. Which ones do? Who tf knows, that's on you to experiment with and find out--or just don't mod the game. I spent 6 hours putting together my own personal mods that work with patch 7 just fine and I am running well over 50.

Is there a way to go back to the previous update so that we can use our favorite mods? I have told larian that they should have had this feature from the get go.

Yeah Larian allows us to go back to the previous update until the mod situation fixes. I don't remember each step but I think you go to your library and click on BG3. Then look for properties. It should allow you to go back to patch 6 if you look for betas. Until mods start functioning properly or update you can do this

so nexus is not out of play, just vortex and older modmanagers

I'm using bg3 mod manager and it still won't let me use nexus mods so not sure if nexus isn't out of play or if I'm just having bad luck :(

Nexus and Vortex work just fine for me now. I don't use the BG3MM. Either your mods aren't updated to the current patch or some mods simply don't work and have to uninstall said mods that don't work. Everything theoretically should be fine no matter what. Nexus and Vortex work for me after waiting a week so everything could fix
