VFX and SFX Remover - Visual and Sound Effects Begone - Longstrider - Hex And More
Just like with Ultimate Guidance, the visual and sound effects are removed from various elements for a more peaceful and quiet existence! This was requested a few times, so here it is. I might add a few more spells and such later on, if any other annoying effects need to be removed.
Longstrider, Hex on self, Armor of Agathys, Bless, See Invisible, Bardic Inspiration, Poisoned Weapons, Moonlantern / Pixie Blessing and Symbiotic Entity effects removed so far.
Also the Imp Familiar has been silenced! (Separate Download & Install)

- Removing effects might make it harder to track spell durations or targets in combat
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who find the visual and audio clutter of Longstrider, Hex, and Imp Familiar distracting. If you prefer a cleaner, more minimalist HUD and soundscape, this is a must-have. Skip if you rely on those effects for gameplay feedback or want a broader VFX remover.
💡 Beginner Tips
