Why hello there! You’re looking great, have you done something with your hair or just reconfigured your entire face to look like a fish?
If your mods are any indication, the answer is yes and then some. It’s not even a month since Patch 7 dropped on PC - complete with our official modding toolkit - and already you’ve uploaded over 1,000 mods and racked up more than 15 million downloads!
We’ve watched as you’ve customised your dice with flames and iridescent pearl, lightened the load of gold in your packs, and adjusted your party limit from 4 to 16 - because who needs personal space anyway?
And now, those of you on console and Mac can finally join in, with Patch 7 rolling out to these platforms starting today. Keep reading to learn how to kick off your modded run, plus check out some of the most popular mods ready for you to explore.
Today’s update also brings Hotfix #26 and Hotfix #27 to all platforms - if you want to check out the patch notes in full, point your eyes in this direction. But far from being our last patch, you can still expect to see crossplay and a photo mode for Baldur’s Gate 3 in the future.
Playing With Baldur’s Gate 3 Mods
If you’re thinking about starting a modded run and want to know what you’re getting into, whether you’re playing on console, Mac, or PC, then this is the guide for you!
Where do I even start?
So you want to enhance your journey to Baldur’s Gate with a little community-made magic?
While the Baldur’s Gate 3 Toolkit used to create mods is only available on PC, a whole selection of player-created mods are now available on console and Mac!
How are mods chosen for release on other platforms?
Only mods made with and uploaded using the Baldur’s Gate 3 Toolkit and which pass internal testing can be eligible for release on the console and Mac in-game mod browser.
Technical limitations on certain platforms mean that some PC mods will not be available for Mac or console. Our team will need to test all mods requested to be brought to these platforms to confirm whether they can be made available.
Mod Authors can let us know if they’d like to see their mod available on console and Mac during the upload process. Our Community Team will then check whether the mod adheres to our modding guidelines, before sending over batches of mods to undergo internal checks that look at the mod’s basic functionality, usability, and stability.
If all looks good, the mods will then be made available on these platforms!
Will more mods be made available on console and Mac?
Yes! There are currently, uh, 69 mods that have passed internal testing, and we’ll be adding more as we go. Making mods available on platforms other than PC will be a continuously reviewed process that may change to include additional functionality in the future. Mods ready for both Mac and console that have passed testing will be released in batches, so keep an eye out on your in-game mod browser to see when new mods are added.
