do mods disable achievements?

[lordsquidious]

I have been playing with some mods and have noticed that I have not been getting achievements I should have earned like saving sazza etc. Are achievements disabled with mods?

If you run your game with mods enabled, whether they’re third-party or installed through the Mod browser, your in-game achievements will automatically be disabled!

Yes, pretty sure there is a warning about this when you install mods.

But yes, they disable achievement, regardless of what mod you use - even if it's just cosmetic stuff.

There are mods that will re-enable achievements for modded games. For example Norbytes script extender for BG3, has a setting - with the BG3 mod manager 3rd party tool - that will allow you to re-enable achievements.

Really? I was getting achievements yesterday while mods were enabled.

If you do it correctly mods do in fact not disable achievements.

It sounds like when they added in their own mod thing they tried to get around the fact that the script enablers turned achievements back on by forcing them back off again.

Fortunately, you can still get achievements as long as you don't only use the in game mod browser and still use the script.

Yes, usually mods disable achievements. There might be a mod that overrides that.
