Learn how to mod Baldur’s Gate 3 following Patch 8 using in-game or third-party tools for expanded customization and gameplay content.
The modding community of Baldur’s Gate 3 offers in-depth customization and new experiences by building upon the solid foundation of the core game. There are two main ways to go about modding Baldur’s Gate 3 after Patch 8. The faster and more convenient method is to use the in-game mod manager to browse and download mods. Alternatively, you can download a trusted mod manager to gain access to the library of NexusMods and install mods directly into your game’s folder.
How To Mod Baldur’s Gate 3 After the Final Patch
Download Mods Within the Game
- Launch Baldur’s Gate 3 and select “Mod Manager” from the main menu.
- Under the “Browse” tab, search for mods you would like to enhance the vanilla experience.
- Use the “Types” filter or the search bar to narrow down results as per your preferences.
- Once you have selected a mod, press “Download.”
- The mod will be visible in the “Installed” tab.
- Downloaded mods will be enabled by default. Uncheck the box next to a mod to disable it.
- The chosen mods will be active upon loading a save or starting a new game.
Download Mod Manager
If you wish to customize your experience further and forgo the official mod manager feature, you can do so easily by installing a mod manager.
Installing Mod Manager
- Search for the Baldur’s Gate 3 mod manager online or click the link here.
- Navigate to the “Setup” subheading of the GitHub page and open the hyperlink on point 3: “Grab the latest release.”
- Extract the manager to a non-system folder, like “Downloads,” and run “BG3ModManager.exe.”
- The application should automatically detect your BG3 installation path. If not, set the path in Settings > Preferences, and save it.

- Click “Import Mod,” select a downloaded mod’s ZIP file, and press “Open.”
- The mod manager will add the mod to the “Inactive List.”
