Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Modding Mod Installation help Please?

Now I've just come across something for which I found while setting up and using mods and was wondering if anyone including someone from Larian could clear it up for me as it's not making sense and I know others that are having the same issue.


When I install and tried using a mod called "Feats On Even Levels" Now I had been playing for a while and one day we were in camp. I saved exited the game because of work. I get an error message stating something about not having "Mystic Class" installed. Of course it's not as I'd' never heard of it before but after looking it up and reading saw that it wasn't a mod I was even interested in. But here is what I found out

Mystic Class requires as an optional file "Feats Every X Levels - Compat Framework Based"

"Feats Every X Levels - Compat Framework Based" also states under Nexus Requirements that "Mystic Class" is an Optional file for it.

That is all well and good for them two mods But I'm not using either one of them. But yet the will NOT allow me to install any mods with "Feats" unless I have the "Mystic Class" and some other file called "Mystic Expansion Classes" installed even though I don't want or need them mods.

What I don't understand is why I am being forced to download and install 3 other mods that I am not interested in and that are marked OPTIONAL? When the mod for which I want to use has NO REQUIREMENTS.

because the person that made the mod you want has made a boo boo when they marked it with 'no requirements'

That don't make no sense If the mod I want to use has no requirements why should it matter about what the 2 mods say that I have no interest in what so ever? Them other 2 mods shouldn't even factor in to my set up. Never did before But with the IN GAME mm it does?

Now I could see if the author for which made the "Mystic class" had made a mistake by adding the optional "Feats every X Levels" - CompatFramework Based
