UPDATED GUIDE for Launch - How to Install Mods for Baldur's Gate 3 [ With BG3 Mod Manager ]

hey guys I wanted to make an updated guide for how to use the bg3 mod manager to get mods in Baldur's Gate 3 because my old guide is now outdated this will get you up and running with the launch version of the game so let's go straight into it okay first off in order to download the latest version of bg3 mod manager you're going to want to go here I'm going to put the link down below so you can follow it directly to the GitHub page for laughing leader this one is the latest release for Windows so you would want to come down here and just download this ZIP file now you can put this file wherever you want it's one of those applications that you can literally put on your desktop if you want I like to do that myself so that I can find it later basically just put it in that folder put the zip file in that folder and extract it right there so this is what it's going to look like when you extract it the next thing you need to do is actually open it and at this point it will make some extra files and folders and this should be working now if you want to make sure it's set to the right path like if you installed your bg3 game somewhere weird you would come to settings open preferences and you would change it here you need to change the data folder path and where the actual exe path is mine both defaulted to the steam location so this is good to go then we just need to get a mod okay so here we are at Nexus mods and I am going to download the latest version of a mod that I miss it's the basket full of equipment people are always asking me about this mod because in some of my older videos you know I had really nice armor on historian and whatnot this is the mod that lets you do that but you need to make sure it is the latest one this one is from August 12th and I am making this video on August 14th so this is latest and I do a manual download slow download you're stuck with now just save it and wait for the download to finish okay now that we've got the mod downloaded we're just going to extract it here and this would work the same with any other kind of you know WinZip I'm using win Roar but like literally anything I'm pretty sure you could even just do it with default Windows so now that we have this file the pack file that's the one that we want to put in the mod folder and my old video still works except for this one part and that's because the path location of the mods has actually changed and let me show you where it's going to go now instead okay so this is the new path it is going to go in whatever your user folder is then app data then local then larian Studios then Baldur's Gate 3 and then mods and so this is why the old video does not work because it used to go to a folder in your documents so we're going to take this pack file and just drop it right in there and now the mod should show in our mod manager so come back over here and you can just click the refresh button you don't even have to close it and there it is so you can just keep your profile set default and what you need to do is take this click it and drag it over so now we have to go and click save order and the green bar means that it's ready to go and that that mod will load the zero if you have more than one mod is the load order and zero is the top priority and anything under that is lower priority so it's basically highest priority is at the top of that list so you don't even have to close it you could actually just come from here and launch the game there you go if you are using the launcher though you might notice this warning message you can basically just hit don't show this message again close do whatever you want but it's it doesn't matter it's still gonna work it's just kind of complaining and saying like if there's a problem with your game it's not our fault now all you need to do is start up your game make sure that you accept this as well when you start it up or else the mud isn't going to work right now this mod in specific was probably a bad example to use for how to install mods because this mod I just realized it wasn't like this before in Early Access but it it has a bunch of requirements now so I'll actually make a separate video for how to use this mod specifically since so many people have asked me about it but in most cases if it's any other kind of mod it's just going to work with dragging the one mod over and if it's not working you need to come back to the page and check the requirements it'll be here like this and you just click down and this will tell you like exactly what you need to install it and coming down it'll even most mods will have instructions as well so it says how to acquire at the starting area on the Mind player ship you can get it at the ravaged Beach there's a merchant you know who sells it so if you're having trouble and it's not working come back to the page and make sure that there's not something else that you need to install and that's really all you need to get going so hopefully that about covers everything you'll need to be able to mod Baldur's Gate 3 with the bg3 mod manager if you enjoyed the video consider subscribing as there is going to be a huge slew of
