📥 How to Install BG3 Mods
Use the In-Game Mod Manager (Patch 7+)
Larian added official mod support in Patch 7. Open the main menu → Mod Manager → browse and install mods directly. This is the safest method for most mods. Mods installed this way are guaranteed compatible with multiplayer.
Install BG3 Mod Fixer (for external mods)
Some mods (especially those with custom models/textures) require external installation. Download BG3 Mod Fixer first — it enables loose file loading and fixes common compatibility issues.
Use BG3 Mod Manager (Vortex alternative)
For complex mod setups, use BG3MM (Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Manager). It handles load order automatically and warns you about conflicts. Drop .pak files into the Mods folder, refresh BG3MM, and export the load order.
