📋 About This Mod
Whenever you boot up the game do you ever miss your favorite Tiefling Barbarian? Well not anymore! With this mod it just..uh it just drops her in there, that's about it.
Patch 8 compatible.
Update 12/24/24: Added Minthara variant.
Update #3: Fixed missing finger on Mizora's hand and cleaned up low res assets and edges (on all variations including No Mizora and Durge).
Update #2: Made the Sword Edit 4K to match the other options. Added a Durge/No Mizora variant to the Sword Edit by Katarsi.
Update #1: Added a wonderful edit of the mod by Katarsi that I'm calling the Sword Edit. For anyone that doesn't want Lae'zel's sword to go behind Karlach's head and some great fire effects too. Thank you Katarsi for letting me add it!
And as a bonus here are Karlach versions of:
Steam Grid Vertical
Steam Grid Horizontal
Steam Grid Background
4K Wallpaper
Official Cover Art
Double bonus!
4K Durge Wallpaper
This UI mod replaces the opening splash/loading screen in Baldur's Gate 3 with Karlach, offering variants for Durge, Minthara, and a version without Mizora. It is compatible with Patch 7 and Patch 8, and has gained significant popularity with over 90,000 downloads.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community adoption (507 endorsements, 90k downloads) — clearly a fan favorite.
- Multiple variants let you tailor the screen to your playthrough, whether you're romancing Karlach or just want her front and center.
- Patch 8 compatible right out of the gate, so you're set for the latest update.
⚠️ Cons
- Purely cosmetic — if you want gameplay changes, this isn't it.
- Only affects the splash screen, so you'll see it briefly at launch and then forget it exists.
- No screenshots or install instructions in the description — you're on your own for setup, though it's likely a simple drag-and-drop.
For Karlach fans who want to see her fiery smile every time they boot up the game. Also great for players who are tired of the default splash screen and want a quick, low-effort visual change. Skip if you're looking for UI overhauls or gameplay tweaks — this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a UI mod, make sure to place the .pak file in your Mods folder (typically Documents/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3/Mods) and enable it in the in-game mod manager.
- If you're using the Durge or Minthara variant, ensure you've selected the correct one for your playthrough — they're separate files.
- If you're on Patch 8, this mod is already compatible, but always check for updates after major game patches.
