📋 About This Mod
Mod should not be needed any longer!
Larian fixed the hotbar issues with wild shapes in Patch 5? if I remember correctly.
As the short description already says, this mod includes a script that saves your hotbar on shapeshift and restores it when the shapeshift is removed. It is not perfect, due to lack of access to the game's code. Requires Script Extender.
Very important: Does not work with controller UI - it breaks the radial menu. Do not use this if you are using a controller to play. For safety, also do not use this in multiplayer with a person that uses the controller UI.
Installation
This is a .pak mod - simply put it into
C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods
Then enable the mod in BG3 Mod Manager (BG3MM) by drag and dropping the mod from the right side (disabled mods) to the left (enabled mods). Hit "Export Order to Game" in the top bar and thats it.
Script Extender
Norbyte's Script Extender (SE) is required for this mod to work. Script Extender can easily be installed by going into BG3MM, selecting "Tools" in the top bar and then selecting "Download and Extract the Script Extender"
Uninstall
Simply disable the mod in BG3MM or delete it from your mods folder. It is only a script and does not have any ingame data.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (196,584) shows it's a must-have for druid mains
- Solves a real annoyance—no more rebuilding your hotbar after every shapeshift
- Simple, focused script that does exactly what it says
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects hotbar layout, not other UI elements
- May conflict with other UI mods that alter hotbar behavior
- No documentation on compatibility with mods that add new shapeshift forms
For Baldur's Gate 3 druids who are tired of their hotbar getting scrambled every time they turn into a bear. If you play a druid or use polymorph often, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you never shapeshift or don't care about hotbar order.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the script in the correct mod folder (e.g., Mods folder) and enable it in the mod manager before launching the game.
- Test with a quick Wild Shape transformation to confirm the hotbar restores correctly; if not, check for conflicts with other UI mods.
- If you use other mods that modify hotbars, load this one last to ensure it takes priority.
