The 14 best Baldur’s Gate 3 quality-of-life and style mods
Though Baldur’s Gate 3 is a multi-award-winning and highly regarded fantasy RPG, you can always download some mods to add even more individuality and customization to your playthrough (if you’re playing on PC, that is). Do you wish Astarion was femme? There’s a mod for that. Do you want more character customization options? There are lots of mods for that. And if the actual gameplay isn’t exactly what you want, there are dozens of mods for that, too.
Combing through available mods for Baldur’s Gate 3 can be time-consuming, especially when some mods may be similar-looking, even if they function in clearly different ways. That’s why we’ve compiled the following list of the best BG3 mods to enhance your gameplay experience.

Before downloading any of the mods below, you need to download LaughingLeader’s BG3 Mod Manager. Check out LaughingLeader’s guide for setup or, if you want a further breakdown for setting up mods without breaking your game, check out Reddit user lilpidgeons’ quick and easy tutorial to get started. For non-cosmetic mods, you’ll also need Norbyte’s Baldur’s Gate 3 Script Extender, which comes with an installation guide. With the latter, beware: Every time Larian Studios patches BG3, you’ll have to wait for the script extender to be updated before loading your save file. If you don’t, you run the risk of breaking the entire thing and having to start over from scratch. Although Larian is being very generous with post-release patches based on player feedback — introducing new epilogues and kissing animations, for example — these updates will create havoc for modded games.
