Baldur’s Gate 3 is one of those games that is perfect for modding. This is due the sheer number of people playing the game, coming up with creative ideas for mods, as well as various tweaks that can be made to the D&D gameplay. Here are the best BG3 mods we’ve found.

Baldur’s Gate 3 provides an insane amount of customization, allowing you to choose from a variety of Dungeons & Dragons races and classes. It has almost everything an RPG fan could want, but as with most RPGs, mods make it even better.

BG3 modders have been adding new classes, features, customization options, gameplay tweaks, and more. Most of these are quite lore-friendly, staying true to the roleplaying aspect of the Forgotten Realms. Others aim to address some of the issues that fans have had with certain aspects of the game.

Best Baldur’s Gate 3 mods

Here are some of the best mods you can install for Baldur’s Gate 3:

Make sure you have BG3 Mod Fixer installed before getting any of the mods mentioned below.

Basket Full of Equipment

The Basket armors have stats that adapt to player armor proficiency and level.

This is a clothing and accessories mod for BG3 that adds over 800 pieces of equipment for your characters. This includes armor, boots, gloves, helmets, cloaks, and belts. You can see the clothing items from this mod on many YouTube gameplay videos. Basket Full of Equipment isn’t limited to just clothing, however.

It also adds new spells, weapons, and even custom dyes. One of the spells, called False Education, allows you to experience different dialogue choices by adding a different class tag to your character. The other spells are for quality-of-life adjustments, such as for cleaning the dirt and blood from your characters.

One thing to note is that the clothing items were made with the “humanlike” races in mind — Humans, Elves, Drow, and Tieflings. Half-Orcs and any character with a Strong Body Type won’t be able to equip all the equipment.

5e Spells

5e Spells is a quality of life enhancement mod for Baldur’s Gate 3.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has a large collection of spells taken from the 5th edition of Dungeons & Dragons, but many more were left out. For instance, despite being popular among DnD players, the psychic spell Mind Sliver was never included in the game.

5e spells is a mod that attempts to rectify that. It adds a large collection of cantrips and spells (level 1 to 5) to the game, all with their own effects. There’s also an optional file that tweaks the effects of the in-game spells. Be sure to check out the list of spells the mod adds, and how they’re implemented in the game.

Achievement Enabler

Most games lock you out from earning achievements if you install mods, and Baldur’s Gate 3 is no exception. Achievement Enabler by Nexus Mods user “dukethedropkicker” does exactly what its name says. It allows you to keep earning achievements on a modded copy of the game, both on Steam and GOG.

Native Camera Tweaks

Explore the Sword Coast with new camera angles.

If you get tired of the isometric camera perspective in Baldur’s Gate 3, Native Camera Tweaks is the mod for you. While the game does allow you to zoom in quite a bit, you won’t be getting a true third-person perspective.

This mod gives you that, but it also comes with a more traditional fixed isometric perspective. You can also take cinematic screenshots with Native Camera Tweaks as it allows you to freely move the camera in any direction.

WASD Character Movement

WASD Camera Movement has over 250K unique downloads on Nexus Mods.

Endorsed by over 8K users, WASD Character Movement does exactly what it says: It allows you to move your characters using the W, A, S, and D keys. This will greatly improve your experience since using a mouse click to move around can get frustrating after a while.

The mod also binds camera movement to the keys which you can toggle using Cap Lock. WASD Character Movement combined with Native Camera Tweaks will give you the best BG3 experience on a PC.

Mharius’ Unleashed Classes

They’re all quite lore-friendly, although the improved bonuses are not a feature from DnD 5e. Mharius has also made a bunch of similar Unleashed mods for the in-game races.

Party Limit Begone

If you want all your Baldur’s Gate 3 companions to join in battle with you, Party Limit Begone has you covered. As its name suggests, this mod raises the party limit of 4 characters to 16. It even allows 8 players to join together in multiplayer. Naturally, this also affects the difficulty of the game, as most combat encounters are made easier.

Camp Event Notifications is a mod that checks for such events on a regular basis and adds a floating exclamation point above your Tav’s head to notify you about these events if they’re available.
