Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Modding Top 6 of mods you are waiting for

Still nothing on this. There are a few workarounds. The one I used is for my buddies to join my new game, make the exact character I ask for and then I am set. I just did this using my Wife's account to make a companion for my Paladin.


There is a mod for this but be careful using this. The increase party size can really break the game balance.

I use this mod rather than Increase Party Size.
Recruit any NPC - Transform NPC Into Playable Character - Make Full Custom Character Party - No party limit - Resurrect Dead

I am running a party of six currently. My two extras are Bryanna (the sister of the True Soul killed by the owlbear) and Cyrel (the merchant dodgy paladin in the Tollhouse). Made Bryanna a ranger and Cyrel a wizard. We are currently in Act 2 (the Last Light).
Can't swear on it but I think this mod may make a full custom party doable.

I don't feel there is a noticeable game balance problem as I use several mods which make things 5e/RAW (playing on normal).

This is a nice little mod:
Cleric Subclasses - Release
https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/432
I respecced Shadowheart to Twilight Domain mostly for RPing reasons - Twilight seemed a better fit for Shar than Trickery.

I also use the more backgrounds mod.

I use 20-24 mods and it's nice to see them all working well and they are getting updated on a regular basis. Touch wood, I've not had any problems with hotfixes and patches so far. I did break my first game with a mod but that was entirely my fault.

The recruit any NPC mod makes me smile! Least the Mods were listening hehe

I'm looking foreward to a comprehensive pack animals mod.

I think at least some of the random items we come across could be used for this. I want to see a black goat, creepy like the one from the VVitch, who eats all the rotten supplies. I think it would be funny if he 'multiplied' over time, Irongut mode lol. Maybe our donkey needs rope sometimes? For some of the other stuff like plates and spoons etc we should probably run into someone who's whole dream is to open a restaurant in Baldur's Gate with flatware from the far realms? Hehe. Something like that, all integrated with the many bags mods and inventory UI overhaul mods. That'd be cool!

Thanks for the tip, will look at this mod. Can you give a list of the mods you use for making the game more 5E RAW?

Right now my biggest complaint with modding is with multiplayer. I do not want mods for the multiplayer game we are running. I have seen a few work arounds but would love a single, comprehensive modding tool that had an easy option of enable or disable all mods for quick choosing of how you want to play.

There was another feats mod but the author took it down so I removed it.

In addition to the Cleric mod in my previous post:

Bard Fixes and Tweaks

Sorcerer Progression as in PHB
https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/1574

I use this but I've not got anywhere near level 12 yet so I don't know how it will go at the higher levels. There's also a patch for it to work with the 5e Spells mod.
UnlockLevelCurve - Level 13-20
https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/377

The rest of my mods are mostly QoL plus a couple of cosmetic.

I don't play multiplayer so I can't offer any help there.

Duh! Just realised that Recruit Any NPC actually states "Make Full Custom Character Party" in the title.

A mod that turns the little goblin dude you get for Dark Urge into a camp follower, who sells vendor items that you miss out if you go full ham on being evil Durge would be awesome.

Found an interesting mod that makes Astarion's voice female. Would love to see a simple mod to change gender of the various companions with voice change. Would also love to see a proper voice done for players to use with Orcs and Dwarves

This mod is amazing! So much fun to play around with! It also shows just how easy it would have been for Larian to add an option to create custom companions, yet they, for some strange reason, chose not to. This mod saved my day! Now we will see what Larian has to offer us tomorrow for Patch 3.

#1 new mod after tomorrow will be "can modify anyone and their body type at the mirror!"

Mod 1) Remove shared stash, so I can play the game again.
Mod 2) Allow me access to EVERY CREW MEMBER while in camp, seeing their inventory and comparing gear and managing stuff of EVERYONE, not only the 4 in party, without the need of constant leave/join

I want more faces for halflings, gnomes and dwarves. I like their faces well enough, but sometimes, I just want to look different from all the NPCs. And you mostly see elf, half elf, human and tiefling face mods.
And some more interesting clothing mods for the small races, I hate it, when you find a nice outfit on Nexus, that would look smashing on your gnome rogue, just to be only for the standard races. Thanks to Antemaxx with their Basket, who make a lot of the cooler looking armor like the city watch armor, Isobel's outfit, death Knight outfit... available for us shorties.

What I'd really like is some sliders for the face and body height and widths. Then the ability to change my eyebrows and I'd literally be set.

Try this, could help a bit:

- https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/2658

As long as your comp can handle it, mine gets a bit of lag but still works fine, just open 2,3 or 4 instances in windowed mode and connect in LAN, once they are all in the nautiloid do a save and log out all but the lobby creator, full custom party done.

This works but there should be no need for a work around, this should have been included from day one.

Now I am waiting for this mod to be updated to work with patch 3

https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/1646

The things I'd like to see aren't really moddable probably but maybe Larian will add them later:

Roll for stats at character creation. Point Buy is fine but rolling is a nice option. I've used a CE table to increase stats, but if you want to respec it is undone and has to be done over again

Optional toggle for no crit fail/success on skill checks. There are some mods recently that makes the base a roll a 2 but still allows crit successes. I know there's that one 99 check but I didn't see a difference failing or succeeding it.

Scaling above level 12. There's a mod to provide some of the features past 12 that works well but it doesn't increase proficiency bonus past 4 or sneak attack dice over 6d6. Maybe when the modding tools come out these limitations can be overcome.

Sortable spell bar. Man, I just want my spells to be ordered by level without having to spend a lot of time doing it manually or unpreparing/repreparing the spells in a specific order.

I personally like the cri fail/success system. No matter how skilled or knowledgeable there is aways the chance of an "expert" being wrong. Either a small knowledge gap, distracted or any of a thousand other reasons. No matter how skilled there is no such thing as never failing. By the same token even a broken clock is right twice a day. There is always the chance, by pure luck that the village idiot can stumble across a right answer that has baffled much more educated people.

I'm waiting for (just my personal taste(!!!):

- I'm waiting for new female faces-mods that are close to the beauty of male faces-mods in BG3 right now. Most of the female faces in BG3 look horrible artificial (sometimes with "injected lips" or with no lips at all). With really thick eyebrows and stuff like this.
I think most people still use vemperen face-mod (redone), witch is really old, cause there is not other (better) alternative. Or you have again and again shadowhearts face-remakes. If I look to the gorgeous male face-mods I become jealous. And there are even a lot of them.
If you want to make a female close to the "general beauty standard" you must be careful or you get a lot critics. Or the people say that they don't want to make something "like this", it MUST LOOK REAL or it hurts females and stuff like this. But this does NOT affect the male faces and mods somehow. It is a bit unfair, I think.
Still just my personal taste.

- Hair mods for my aristocratic & fighter - girl: I play a fighter and I have some problems with the most hair mods right now. I want something that leave my face / head "free". And I want to have ponytails with physics. I know there are from the game itself ... but I would love something "new". Also most of the hair mods like it a bit tousled / scrubby ... my character will be aristocratic so I don't like this "ruffled look" for her with hair falling "wild" into her eyes and face ...

How about fixing Halsin's dialogue so he's not a jerk?

I am not so sure modding can easily change dialog since it is also often tied to an outcome of choice.
