Requests

Djmr, in Larian's server, has set up a modding bounty board for the BG3 community.

Request form: http://bit.ly/3YfZ1yD
Anyone can submit a request
Board: http://bit.ly/44M0hf0
Modders can request edit access and assign themselves a posted request
If anyone makes a request there, please do not make duplicate requests on modder's mod pages too, as it ends up with multiple people working on the same mod.

Modding Sites

Essential Tools

  • LSLIB by Norbyte
    • Install 1.15.13 first, then install whichever is the LATEST release
    • This is to ensure you get the granny2.dll file from the 1.15.13 version, as it may not be included in later versions.
  • Script Extender (bg3se) by Norbyte
  • BG3 Mod Manager (BG3MM) by LaughingLeader
  • Modders Multitool by ShinyHobo
  • [OPTIONAL] BG3 Mini Tool by Padme4000
