📋 About This Mod
This mod 100% requires Norbyte's Script Extender here.
You still need the mod fixer if one of your installed mods doesn't already contain the mod fixer built into it.
Upon loading a save, your main character will receive two legendary keys (actual items in your inventory) called "Increase Approval" and "Decrease Approval." Use the keys like spell scrolls to increase or decrease the approval of the companion you use them on by increments of 15 (will move the slider a bit, but isn't a huge chunk).
You will receive the items again if they are not present in your main character's inventory when you load a save.
To install:
-
[]Use the Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Manager. File > import mod > choose the .zip file for the mod > move the mod from the right side to the left side > File > save order > File > export order to game.

]Install the script extender. This is required.[]The mod fixer is still required. Some people think it isn't because their installed mods come packaged with it already, but it is 100% confirmed still required as of 9/8 if you don't have a recompiler already.
To uninstall:
-
[]Drop both keys, then save. Close the game and uninstall the mod.
Because the keys are technically scrolls, they can be autosorted into containers that are meant to carry scrolls.
