When it's running properly they don't show at all. Any idea what's going on and what I can do? I've tried the recommended fixes, but no luck so far.

First: The Choose Your Stats mod works just fine. I used it in EA and I use it now.
Second: Full Release Mod Fixer also works fine and it does show up in the BG3MM. It shows at the bottom of the left hand pane in the 'Overrides' section and it should have a brown background.
Third: You need to make sure your game works properly before installing mods. This applies to any game.
Fourth: Learn how to use your mod manager - what it does, what the various parts are and what the colours mean. This also applies to any game.

First: Never said "choose your stats" didn't work. It's customary when asking for help on the internet to provide baseline info so people who want to help don't have to ask a lot of questions first.
Second: As above, except that at one point the mod fixer from early access didn't show up at all on the list.
Third: I did.
Fourth: Always good to know who the trolls are.

For the rest of the community, I followed a hunch and erased the empty Baldur's Gate 3 folder in Documents. Problem solved.
