covenelf Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) Hello, I play BG3 alone and with my friends. My solo playthrough has 95+ mods, and our multiplayer game has 40. Yesterday we installed identical mods and set up load order to be same for both of us and the game worked perfectly. After we were done, I backed up this game's version with 40 mods and created a profile on Vortex. I added more mods to a separate profile so I could play solo. Today I tried pasting these backup folders and switching profile so we could resume our multiplayer playthrough and all of the sudden the game is refusing to let us connect through multiplayer, I get kicked out midway loading to our load save. So due to this confusing mod list managing I was wondering if I can have two separate game installs and have two separate mod lists I could manage, preferably on Vortex. How can I achieve that? If you encountered this issue, how did you handle it and what would you suggest? I really can't wait around until my friends feel like playing, I want to have my own solo stuff. I really need help with this, It's been really frustrating trying to have two working versions of the game with separate mod lists so I could enjoy my alone time AND play with my friends.

WisePlaeguis Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I've got the same exact problem (except we play without mods in multiplayer) and I'm still looking for a solution ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odulac Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Same, I'd love to be able to plug and unplug my mods easily. With BG3 Mods Manager, you can turn them on and off, but there are some mods that are just additional files here and there, and therefore I can't just turn these off, I have to take those files out to be able to play with friends. Appart from those, I'm not sure turning the mods off with BG3MM is engough to play with friends ? BG3MM can edit the modslist automatically so that's great, but is it enough ? I'll try it out when I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I made a simple file move script that moves the pak files out when I want to play without mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any chance you might be able to post the script file somewhere for people to use, or provide some instruction on how to do this oneself? I have edited script files before, but am relatively new with creating one from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they going to launch a mod system with which to activate and deactivate the installed mods? I say this because I get a lot of errors when I try to play cooperatively :pinch: , and having to manually remove files is a bit... you know... I'm sure I'm not the only one.
