Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Manager (BG3ModManager)

LaughingLeader's BG3 Mod Manager

A work-in-progress mod manager for Baldur's Gate 3.

Setup

  1. Run the game once if you haven't already, so a profile and the mods folders get created.
  2. Make sure you have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 installed
  3. Download the latest release.
  4. The BG3 Mod Manager is portable, so extract it wherever you wish.
  5. Upon opening the program, pathways to the game data and exe should be automatically detected. If this fails, you can manually set the pathways in Settings -> Preferences.
  6. Organize your active mods for a given profile, then click the first export button (Export Load Order to Game), or click File -> Export Order to Game, to export your active load order to the game.

Current Features:

  • Reorganize mod load orders with a quick drag-and-drop interface. Allows reordering multiple mods at once.
    • View details about each mod, including the description and dependencies.
  • Save your mod load orders to external json files for sharing or backing things up.
  • Export your active mod order to various text formats (i.e. a spreadsheet). These formats will include extra data, such as the mod's steam workshop url, if any.
  • Filter mods by name and properties (author, mode, etc.).
  • Export load order mods to zip files (including editor mods), for easier sharing of a playthrough's mods between friends.
  • Import load orders from save files.
  • Shortcut buttons to all the various game-related folders (mods folder, workshop folder, game directory, etc).
  • Dark and light theme support.

Features for Mod Authors

  • Extract selected mods with a few clicks. Useful for mod authors, or those wanting to study mod files for learning.
  • Copy a mod's UUID or FolderName in the right click menu. Useful for if you're setting up Ext.IsModLoaded checks with the script extender, for mod support.
  • You can specify custom tags in your project's meta.lsx (the "Tags" property"). Seperate tags with a semi-colon, and the mod manager will display them.
  • A "Version Generator" tool is available under the Tools menu, for generating the correct number for major/minor/revision/build numbers.

Notes

  • Mod projects in the Data folder are highlighted in green. They can be used in the load order like regular mods, and even exported to zip files.
  • New profiles must be made in-game. You should also run the game at least once, so all of the game's user folders are created.
  • Highlight over mods to see their description and list of dependencies. Red dependencies are missing dependencies.
