Modding items Step By Step

Requirements are listed above and below

Note      Placeholder X is used to refer to what your mod name will be called

Note      When told to copy something with Parenthesis DO NOT copy the Parenthesis

Example: “no parenthesis” —> no parenthesis

Sum of the steps:

1 Norbytes LSLib toolkit- need for All Step 4 & 9       4 (Getting item icons for )           9 Packaging files process to get the mod Pak file to insert into BG3MM

2 BG3CC needed for step 6-8

3 Unzip the files. + Optional But Heavily Recommended  move the files, not required, just will have a double \ExportTool-v1. 18. 7\ExportTool-v1. 18. 7    ->

cont. ->   for the file directory (Do this for the "X" file you download from "Files" on nexus

4 Need for for all step 8. 9

5 Not a step I am just lazy in changing all the numbers

6 Place X file into BG3CC folder

7. 1 -  7. 5. 8  Only needed if you to change the mod file name/author name from defaults (X & ForgotAuthorName)

7. 5. 9            Only Required if you want to create multiple items, if not I believe it should be fine.

7. 6-7. 6. 8     Only needed if you wanted to change the mod file name

7. 6. 9            Choose if you want to create armor & weapon. If you want one delete the other text file.

8                 Choosing what to put on your armor or weapon (IDK how to do a spell),

9                 Converting files to get the mod .pak

Then you are done

To Be Done @ sometime when I can: Example video, goal less than 5 min long. + Extended version for people that want more than 1 item.
