Baldur's Gate 3 Profanity Filter

BG3 Profanity Filter

A clean-language patch for Baldur's Gate 3 that silences English voice profanity at word-level precision and censors matching subtitle/text strings with asterisks. Context-aware: D&D setting nouns ("Nine Hells", "god of <Domain>", "Hells of Baator", "the <Adjective> God") are preserved un-censored in BOTH text and voice. Drop-in for BG3 Mod Manager.

Who is this for?

• []Streamers and content creators — capture footage for Twitch / YouTube / shorts without having to bleep, mute-edit, or worry about platform language flags.[/]

  []Playing around family — kids in the next room, parents visiting, partner working nearby — when headphones aren't practical and the room shouldn't hear every line.[/]

  []Personal preference — some people just don't enjoy strong language in their downtime. This mod is an optional content-preference toggle, not a statement about how the game should be played.[/]

  The rest of the game — combat, story, world, tone — is untouched. Only the words flagged by the filter change.

  What this mod does

  • []Over 5,500 voice WEMs muted across Voice.pak (story dialogue, cutscene barks, point-and-click lines) and SharedSounds.pak (combat barks, character vocalizations). Matching spoken words are replaced with silence at word-level precision; surrounding speech in the same line is untouched.[/]

    []Thousands of subtitle/text strings censored in English.loca -- profanity replaced with same-length asterisks. Sentence structure, punctuation, and formatting are unchanged.[/]

    []Context-aware preservation of D&D setting-noun phrasing in BOTH text and voice. The "Nine Hells", deity titles like "god of <Domain>", "Hells of Baator", "the <Adjective> God", and "Forgotten Realms / Faern God" play exactly as Larian wrote them. Only expletive uses of the same tokens (e.g. "Oh, hlls", "gd dmn it") are censored.[/]

    []No DLLs, no Script Extender, no game binaries modified -- only the standard user-side Mods\ pak overrides.[/]

    []Save-compatible -- no save format changes; existing saves continue to work.[/]
