Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Modding I want to be able to opt out of the "official" mod manager

Okay, hear me out before you start to throw stones.... or worse stuff.


As far as I understand it the main reason why this thing exists is so that console players can mod their games, too. Which I wholeheartedly agree with.

The thing - for me - is that I have been modding my game for almost a year now without any problems whatsoever but since the new kid on the block mod manager arrived with patch 7 it has been nothing but a nuisance for me and I don't see myself using it unless forced to do so. I also hate that all my playthrough save files are now branded with the orange exclamation mark of shame because I have the audacity to use third party mods *gasp* *shock* *THE HORROR*
Kind of makes me feel as if I have been demoted to second class customer.

Again, I do not want the new mm removed. If you are happy using it I am happy for you. What I want is a ticky box in the Options that lets me make this thing disappear so that I can continue to live in third-party-mod bliss without getting tut-tutted at by the game.

Theoretically, it was also added to allow people to create their own mods more easily, and I believe that mods installed through the official mod manager would not break as easily with every patch.
