Requires Script Extender to work! Download SE on Github or via the Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Manager.
Dye Add-on
Goggles Dyeable is an optional add-on that allows for dyes to be used on the Goggles. Install with Main file or one of the alternatives, and load this mod after that in the load order!
Debuffed Add-on
Goggles Debuffed is an optional add-on that removes the 20 int buff from the Goggles. Install together with the Main file or on of the alternatives, and load this mod after that in the load order! Separate versions for goggles on headwear slot or cloak slot (don't use both files at the same time)!
Installation
Download Main file or one of three alternatives (Cloak, Thorm Only & Both), only use one of these files!
Then use your preferred Mod manager or install it manually (guide).
How to Find
Found in the tutorial chest (room past Shadowheart's pod on the Nautiloid), sold by Arron in the Druid Grove, and drops from Malus Thorm. If you need an alternative, use Tutorial Chest Summoning.
Thorm only versions, as the name suggests, can only be found on Malus Thorm.
Known Issues
Switching the Goggles visuals while you have another pair than the one that's equipped in your inventory causes some issues, like the visuals not always changing, duplicate spells and spells not disappearing after unequipping.
Games that have been saved with the mod installed (even if the goggles haven't been used) are not possible to load into if the mod has been removed, even if you've tried to delete the Goggles.
If you need to have one of the old file present on your load, you can still use the new version, they should not conflict with each other (anymore).
Old versions
The old standalone versions of every Goggles variant can still be found under Old File. Unless there is some big problem with them, these won't be further updated.
These DO NOT require Script Extender.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 212 endorsements and over 26k downloads.
- Flexible slot usage—wear as headwear or cloak—fits more build styles.
- Three visual variants via spells give you style options without extra mods.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Script Extender, so you'll need to install that dependency first.
- Only one base item (Malus Thorm's Glasses) is reworked—no new models beyond that.
- Last updated in March 2025—check for compatibility with the latest game patches.
For fashion-focused BG3 players who want to rock Malus Thorm's iconic look as goggles. Great if you're doing a Durge or evil playthrough and want that vibe. Skip if you're not into cosmetic tweaks or don't want to bother with Script Extender.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Script Extender is installed and up to date—this mod won't work without it.
- Use the included spells to cycle between eye, forehead, and neck positions—test them in camp first.
- If you're using a mod manager, load this mod after other equipment mods to avoid conflicts.
