Tools[edit | edit source]

You’re gonna need some tools in order to start modding. Make sure you download the following, as they’re basically mandatory for modding:

  • BG3 Multitool by ShinyHobo
    • The multitool is an awesome tool that provides several important functions, chief among them the ability to search the game files, and to pack your mod into a format ready to be imported into BG3MM.
  • Lslib by Norbyte
  • ScriptExtender by Norbyte
    • The Script Extender adds Lua/Osiris scripting support to the game.
  • Blender (version 3.6 recommended)
    • This is needed only if you plan to do any kind of mesh editing (hair, heads, clothes, weapons, etc.)
    • Collada/GR2 import/export Blender plugin by Norbyte
      • For importing/exporting .GR2 files, which BG3 uses
  • BG3 ModManager (BG3MM) by LaughingLeader
    • A portable mod manager for BG3
