"Save contains missing mods" but all mods are there

[vauxx]

It says all my saves contain missing mods, even saves from before I downloaded any mods. I tried using my most recent unmodded backup. I deleted all mods before trying the unmodded backup, then tried redownloading the mods. They're all active, nothing changed. I was playing just fine, then one time loading up, it's all "save contains missing mods" and crashes any time I try to load anyway.

 

I've always had a red exclamation mark next to a couple of the mods because "script extender isn't found", but SE is working just fine and the mods were too.. until recently.

Having the same issue. I've tried many different solutions, but nothing has changed. Waiting to hear back from Larian about it.

This sounds like the problem I was having. Mods are up in bg3modmanager and save/export seem to set the modsettings.lsx file correctly. I would then start bg3 and see the error message of the mods aren't loaded for the game. Then I close out and check the modettings.lsx file to see that everything has been wiped out of it.

 

It turns out that when I added the modfixer (https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/141) mod back into the mods file everything worked again. I had taken modfixer out because larian had implemented their own. It seems they might have withdrawn it. Without modfixer, some of the mods weren't formatted correctly and were causing the modsettings.lsx file to reset.

could you please elaborate a bit more? same thing is happening here, installing ModFixer doesn't seems to fix it

For me. It was something that the game did not think was formatting right resetting my modsettings.lsx file. I found the file at *userpath*\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\PlayerProfiles\Public. To see if it is the same thing for you. Save your order, export to game, and then go look at that file with notepad or wordpad. Check to see if the mod order was placed in the file. If it has, launch the game and then exit when you get the mod error. Check to see if the modsettings.lsx file had the mod order reset to be blank. If so, then your game is not likeing one or more of the mods in your order when you are trying to load it and is resetting that file. Imoporting the modfixer mod into the bg3modmanager and moving it left worked for me. Make sure that just the .pak file ends up in your mods folder. If it wasn't the modfixer, I would try loading in the mods one at a time on a new game to see which one breaks it.

The Problem is that when one mod does not load properly for whatever reason: NO MODS WILL LOAD.

Disable / uninstall all mods

Enable / Install 1 mod -> launch game and try to Load a Save

Quit Game -> Enable 1 more mod -> launch game and try to Load a Save

Repeat until you find the mod at fault.

Check for an updated version of the mod or just leave it out depending.
