If you want to get even more out of Baldur's Gate 3, then you should try installing these BG3 mods

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a huge game. It’s detailed, it’s deep, it’s complex, and it can be incredibly confusing if you’re a brand-new player. But as long as you’re on PC, you can do a variety of things to make engagements much easier for you. Case in point: have you thought about modding the game?

All of the mods included here can be found on the BG3 NexusMods page, and we definitely do not take responsibility for any chaos that may occur with your game or PC from installing these mods. Only mod your game if you know what you’re doing!

Full Release Mod Fixer – BG3

If you want to mod Baldur’s Gate 3, this is where you need to start. You won’t be able to mod the game at all without this first, so get it installed before you move onto the rest of the mods in our list.

Party Limit Begone – BG3

Need more friends to play with, or you just want to make the most of all of your party recruits? The Party Limit Begone mod is for you, unlocking eight-player co-op, and up to 16 total party members. That’s a lot of friends to help you in battle, and will make the entire game far easier. A good excuse to be brave and fight your way to every solution.

5e Spells – BG3

Playing as a mage is pretty fun in Baldur's Gate 3, but a bit more variety never hurt, especially with the expansive spell list available in 5e. However, this mod adds a ridiculous number of spells, currently up to 5th level, but with plans to expand the list even further in the future. Your mage builds can now be far more specialized and all-round cooler.

More Actions – BG3

Another mod that’ll simplify the experience of playing through Baldur’s Gate 3, the More Actions mod will allow you to, well, have more actions in battle. Though if you’re a truly hardcore player, you could instead give more actions to enemies, which will make battles drastically more difficult. If you’re looking to either make the game a breeze or a steep challenge, this mod has what you need.

Gold Zero Weight – BG3

Larian Studios

Gold weighing down your bag? It’s hard being rich when every coin is dragging you down. If you’re a dedicated gold hoarder, you can use the Gold Zero Weight mod to minimise how much it’ll weigh you down, allowing you to keep stacking gold throughout your adventure. This mod is pretty helpful, without feeling like it makes the game easier.

Tav's Hair Salon – BG3

We've all spent far too much time in the character creator for Baldur's Gate 3. However, this mod will likely double that time by adding over 100 new possible hairstyles. There is a small downside, as it can only be used with elves, half-elves, drow, humans, and tieflings, but it still allows you to create far more detailed characters than you could before.

Level 20 (Multiclass) – BG3

Larian Studios

With this mod you can reach level 20, as long as you multiclass, and no class exceeds level 12. You will not get more spell slots past level 12, mind, but there is a spell slot mod you can install to solve that, too.

Everyone In Dialogue– BG3

It can be annoying knowing that you're missing out on unique dialogue and opportunities to increase your bonds because they weren't in the party, or weren't the ones who activated the dialogue. While increasing your party size can help with that, this mod has a gentler touch, allowing everyone to participate in dialogue, even if they're back at camp.

Extra Gear – BG3

The design of the weapons and armor in BG3 are extremely cool, and this simple mod just adds a bunch more into the game, so you have greater cosmetic options for your party, and the mod is still being updated with more clothing.

Demon Hunter Class - The Slayer of Illidari – BG3

Larian Studios

This mod adds a brand new class to the game: the Demon Hunter from World of Warcraft. It's a slightly overpowered class but has the full range of models and visual effects that come with the class' many powerful spells. Even if you're not a WoW fan, it's worth checking this one out for how cool it looks.

The Dunmer Playable Race - BG3

Continuing on the theme of adding in features from other fantasy worlds, The Dunmer are also known as Dark Elves from the land of Morrowind in The Elder Scrolls universe. This mod adds this race which includes unique visuals, seven sub-races all with their own unique passives, and some new spells to add to your arsenal too.

More Reactive Companions - BG3

When wandering the world and interacting with items, only the character you're controlling will react to anything when you interact with it. To hear more quips and make each character feel more alive, each character will now trigger their reaction dialogue as long as they're in the party, even if you're not directly controlling them at the time.

Improved World Tooltips - BG3

Larian Studios

When looking through the many items lying on the ground or in the world in BG3, it's easy to wonder exactly what it is or what you could use it for before you end up filling your inventory with all sorts of junk. This mod adds icons and color to indicate the type of item, as well as useful info like whether it's a new item you've never picked up before, and if taking it would count as stealing.

Combat Extender - BG3

If you want more refined control over the difficulty of combat, outside of the in-game difficulty options, this mod will do you proud. It's a little complicated to get into, but once you have the ang of how it works you can customize enemy and player abilities to make combat harder or more interesting. It also has default settings that you can try out if you don't want to get into the technical side of things.
