Patch 3 Mods

[Oiff]

So everything broke with the patch, I'm making this post to help modders work out what does and does not work in the latest patch.

 

.pak mods seem to break the character creation scene, instead you will be given an empty landscape with four dummy characters.

Starting a game without mods then reloading with them once the character has already been made appears to work but has been reported to break scripts later on in the game so certain interactions will no longer work.

 

It doesn't seem to matter what the mod contains, even empty mods cause these issues.

 

Loose files mods still work but may need tweaking for some changes Larian has made.

The problem with loose files though is not only are they more difficult to manage they are far more likely to interfere with each other if more than one mod is installed this way.

 

 

Hopefully we can find a way to make .pak mod installs work again as it will be quite difficult to provide support to loose files and I expect there will be a lot less interest in having to mod this way.

 

I have seen some reports of mods working, however it is not clear if this is specific to certain mods or to certain installs.

Personally I use steam on pc but it is possible that there will be completely different results using stadia, gog or playing on a mac.

This is now fixed thanks to Norbyte, you can use a mod that's recently been updated to support the new patch or add this into your BG3 mod folder - https://nb-stor.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/bg3/nrd_killstory.pak

Yep I have integrated the fix into my mod now.

Happy days :)
