The popular game, Baldur’s Gate 3, will have mod support by the end of the year. Developers are currently working on it according to a tweet from one of them. Players have struggled to have their mods work; having to uninstall, reinstall and update their mods to get them to work. Mods range from giving Astarion a gun to removing party size limit.

We generally don’t talk about things til they’re ready, but as you may have read, we’re making an exception. We’ve been working on a robust, cross-platform plan for mod support to be released later in year. We love our modding community and we want to support them. It’s coming. https://t.co/54GsxNshlQ

Hot Fix #19 has been breaking mods left and right. This is leading to many players being frustrated over the lack of mod support in the game. According the official release of Hot Fix #19 mentions this “We want to continue making sure you’re getting the best possible experience, which is why we frequently patch the game, although this does inevitably mean that each new patch or hotfix has the potential to become incompatible with your favourite mods.”

IGN reports that a Larian senior community strategist stated this in the Discord:

“We are working on official mod support, and have been for a while. We want the very best for you, which includes establishing a pipeline that lets mod authors release their mods across different platforms. Together with the platform holders, we are working on making this a reality, and are forming a team to support mod curation. We’re aiming to offer modding support for things like classes, UI, customisation, spells, and certain assets and game mechanics. As this is no small task, we hope to introduce the initial stages of modding support in our next big patch, which is still several months away. Frustrated as you might be now, we’re keen to work with you on this – and have plans to reach out to popular mod authors to talk further and work together to avoid issues in the future.”- WombatMedic

While there is not yet a timeline for this, it is comforting for those who are struggling with mod issues that there is a resolution planned. This mod support will not just be limited to just PC, it will also be available for console.
