Baldur’s Gate 3 offers a rich and immersive experience, but the right mods can elevate your gameplay to new heights. In this guide, we’ll cover the two main types of mods and how to use them, followed by a list of highly recommended mods to enhance your adventure.
These mods are simple to use. You just place the mod files in the game’s root directory, and they will automatically take effect.
These mods require activation through a mod manager. This method is slightly more complex but allows for better organization and control over your mods.
This mod unlocks camera distance, zoom, controller stick dead zones, and more. Mouse and keyboard players can hold the middle mouse button for 360-degree camera control. Press Caps Lock to switch back to the original point-and-click movement mode. Place the .dll and .toml files in the Baldurs Gate 3\bin\NativeMods\ directory for automatic activation.
Combine this mod with Native Camera Tweaks to control your character using the WASD keys, providing an ARPG-like experience. This significantly enhances immersion and gameplay.
To install, open the “Elf D2 Face” folder and copy the entire “Generated” folder. Paste it into the Data folder in the game’s root directory. In the character customization screen, the third face model will be replaced with this beautiful new model.
This mod increases each character’s carry weight by 10x, 20x, or even 900x. For a balanced experience, you can choose 2x, 3x, or 5x. We provide X5 and X10 versions, but you can find other options on Nexus Mods.
This mod adds a new ring called the “Ring of Minor Rituals,” which grants the wearer four spells: Speak with Animals, Speak with Dead, Disguise Self, and Detect Thoughts. These can be used multiple times outside of combat. Purchase it from the first merchant NPC, Arron, in the Tiefling camp for 2 gold.
This mod changes the highlight mode for interactable items (default Left ALT key/Right Stick) from hold-to-toggle to a click-to-toggle mode. Simply place the .pak file in the mods folder for automatic activation.
Mods can greatly enhance your Baldur’s Gate 3 experience, offering new functionalities, improved controls, and additional content. Whether you prefer straightforward installations or managing your mods through a manager, the mods listed above are sure to enrich your gameplay. Enjoy your adventure in Baldur’s Gate 3 with these fantastic enhancements!
