Introduction

This page is the starting point for resources, tutorials, references and more that you need for modding.

What do you want to make?

First and foremost the question you want to be asking yourself is what do you want to make? Once you have the answer to that you will find it easier finding the help you need.

Tutorial List - A list of different available tutorials categorised by their "theme."

Sample and Template Mods - Sample/Template mods you can use as a base to create your mods.

Tools and Plugins - a list of tools and plugins that are available either specifically for BG3 Modding or help with BG3 Modding

These are the main places you want to take a stop at it to see what you need and whether there is a tutorial/sample/template you can already use for what you want to make.

Once you have these setup you will want to check out the resources below to see if those can help you on your modding journey.
