Baldur's Gate 3 MOD TOOLKIT Getting Started with Modding Guide

If you want to create your own Mods in Baldur's Gate 3 using the toolkit this is a guide covering how to Get Started with modding. The Toolkit is quite complex, but I want to breakdown some of the first steps that you'll want to be familiar with if you want to make your own mods. There are a lot of different things that you can do in this toolkit, so I'm excited to see what comes of this. But I just wanted to cover some simple areas you want to be familiar with if you want to make your own BG3 mods. The toolkit is pretty cool.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Holy moly, the fact people were modding this game WITHOUT this toolkit is impressive.

[Knightly_YT]

We usually say that to every new modder who arrive to discord but if there are people who are not want to join discord. All game related stuff you see in game is under Shared and SharedDev folders. Shared is for Early Access part of the game, Shared Dev consist things related to live version; level 6 to 12 progressions or anything related to Dragonborn race or Monk class.

Glad you're learning too! I am trying to make a class based on FF16 but it's so complicated. You putting out a video like this will help me understand things better

[lordkhaalis]

I'd love a tutorial on how to create/edit armors using existing assets, like use Leggings A + Chest B + Only One Sleeve, etc.

[pagetvido]

Thanks for the video! Going over the basics of using the tool is really helpful. It'd be great to have one about what the different file types and asset types are for those unfamiliar with game dev.

Is there a way we can edit existing mods created by other people using the toolkit? If so, how to do that?

I have a concept of creating a new class mod, which would take an open-hand monk as a basis, but with some tweaks on it. I want it to have different fighting styles with different passive modifiers and abilities based on a chosen subclass. I know the class normally uses 2 main stats, but depending on a fighting style I want it to be different combinations between strengths, dexterity, constitution or charisma. I imagine this would be tough to implement, as well as adding more moves with new animations to the basic open-hand monk moveset.

Would it be possible to make a mod that fully resets a particular merchant's (little guy in the druid grove) inventory on long rest? Meaning it wipes the items that I sell to him?

I've been using him as my junk merchant and his inventory is so full it's starting to slow things down. I even bought half of it back to sell to one of the guys in the myconid colony just to ease the load.

And cmon, I can't not loot things. That's just not happenin.

For those on mac, its only for windows

[Jonderski]

it would be nice if someone finally made a food mod so that the food would rot in the bag over time.

Great tutorial!

I want to change a specific voice type (7) for Durge:

I am getting tired of hearing "Wretched thing, pull yourself together", "Have I ever been this way before", "Where am I?" "I have such a headache", "Father, they will die for you" and "How many die today, how many die tomorrow?" when clicking on my Durge.

I think Tav's lines are more interesting (and frankly some of the Durge lines are spoilery or make you sound like a schizo if you are resisting the urge) and maybe it is possible to swap Durge's point-and-click lines with Tav's for voice 7 (the one I use). Or at the very least, if not swapping, silencing these lines would be an improvement anyway.

How can I silence / swap these lines?

If you can do a walk-through on how to create a weapon, I'll give you anything you want!!
I've been trying to figure out and failing. I mostly just want to make the blood of lathander a maul.

[pharaun]

I really want to create a mod that updates the summon options for beastmaster ranger. Would like to add a worg summon.

[Mineraal-cu]

Can someone work on a goblin race mod ASAP!!??

[joseg]

Is there any mod available that allows you to use shadowblend? The one that the creatures Doggy and shadow used that make them automatically invisible while they obscured.

Hi! When I try to edit spells, I can´t find Illithid spells from the final version of the game, it only loads illithid spells from the early access. I have no idea if I´m doing something wrong.

[lotrichexe]

Hi, why wont you use Toolkit Unlocked/Moonglasses?

[HeyLexxxie]

Do you think we’ll get a mod that allows us to worship shar and bring back the content from EA? I saw that there’s one on PC through Nexus mods called Shar Unlocked. I’m hoping console will get it.

Uhhh I open the toolkit and I don't get that screen at all, I get a setup screen and it tells me to setup a game data path and P4 settings, I set a path to the BG3 folder on Steam and it says it's invalid. I can't get past this. I can't "get started" here at all.

I wish it was easy to use this on Linux
