One of the best parts ofBaldur’s Gate 3‘sPatch 7is the introduction of the official Mod Manager, which makes modding easier for everyone.
While modding was certainly possible prior to the latest patch, the new addition makes a big difference. Compared to the third-party options available on the market, it feels easier to install mods with the official tool. If you still haven’t managed to install a mod using the official Mod Manager, let’s take a look at how to enable them in the first place.
How to install mods using Baldur’s Gate 3’s official Mod Manager?
There are specific prerequisites before you can use the official Mod Manager todownload and use mods.
Once done, the next few steps are easy.
If you’ve installed a new mod, you can play with your ongoing save. However, you’ll see a warning pop up. As long as the mods you installed are updated to the latest version, there shouldn’t be any issue, so just proceed with loading your save file.
Once loaded, you should be able to see the effects of the mods straightway. In my screenshot, you’re able to see the custom design of the die from one of the mods I installed and used. Of course, different mods will have different effects, and some might not be as visible as my die color.
Additionally, there could be conflicts in case you have usedthird-party mods. A message will pop up when you try to load a save. In some cases, you could have to uninstall the mod to run the game without any problems.
If you need to update any mods downloaded using the officialMod Manager, you can do so by going to the mod’s details page. Make sure to always update to the latest version to ensure that your mods are running without any issues.
