Mod BG3 on Steam Deck (Baldur's Gate 3 Steam Version) | BG3 Mod Manager Tutorial

[@user-xg1fg9gz1j]

Thank you so much! Never modded in my life and you made it manageable. For anyone new to modding like me make sure you don't accidentally "install/play" the mod manager before step 9.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

Thanks for the SUPER THANKS!! Also great tip. I see many people say they can't launch the mod manager, might be because they tried to launch it too early!

[@audramueller4107]

I have spent countless hours and weeks of my life trying to figure out how to get this to work, and I finally gave up. You uploaded this video literally the next day. This method worked *perfectly* and my faith is restored! This game is the reason I got a deck, and I couldn’t even open it on deck because of all my mods. Now it runs like a dream! I truly cannot thank you enough!!

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

Don't give up! 😂

[@vincenthawthorne9360]

⁠@@GrownUpGamingGUG Hey so I followed the guide but when I had to install the dotnet thing I don’t think it ever worked. I get ngen.exe not found.

[@anastasia-hc5gh]

Hey! I’m thinking of buying a steamdeck, but I’m so worried my mods won’t load. For this method, did you follow all of the steps and have the mods you had previously used downloaded like he did in the video? Did you have to create a new character or did you just run a previously modded character? Thanks! :) @audramueller4107

[@johnpotega6025]

Got it going! Had an issue with the mod manager flickering uncontrollably. After tons of trial and error, I was able to stop the flickering just by minimizing and then restoring its window. Thanks for the great guide!

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

Thanks for the Super Thanks! Gives me a reason to keep going! :)

[@caitlinhumphrey870]

It would have taken me forever if at all to figure this out reading a guide. Thank you! I just got my Steamdeck yesterday after playing the PS5 version since release and I’ve been so jealous of people’s modded Tavs so I’m excited for a modded play through. Even the non cosmetic mods look fun. Thanks again!

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

Glad I could help!

[@radelert_007]

Tip for anyone who is having trouble with the Mod Manager being stuck on "Loading Profiles" after first launch. What fixed it for me was going into the Local/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3/PlayerProfiles folder and deleting the file modsettings.lsx then trying to start the application again. Worked fine.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@taylorbowman1854]

How do you get to the local then Larian studios folder?

@@GrownUpGamingGUGhello i hate that this has happened but it stopped working :(( I downloaded the exact same mods u did in the video, and when I tested them they worked perfectly! So I went back to desktop mode to add more mods, but whenever I go to open mod manager it just… doesn’t. I click play, the button changes to stop for a few seconds, and then nothing happens and it reverts back. I have no idea what’s causing it and I’ve already uninstalled and installed everything from scratch but it remains this way 😭

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

@@roadworkaheadIsurehopeitdoes so the only thing you did was add more mods? Try removing the mo2 non-steam game and do it all over so it creates a new prefix folder.

[@roadworkaheadIsurehopeitdoes]

@@GrownUpGamingGUG I didn’t even add the mods. I just went back into desktop mode to try to open the mod manager to attempt to to do the whole process again and it just doesn’t want to open.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

@@roadworkaheadIsurehopeitdoes not sure, it's still working for me. Maybe try removing it in lutris and delete the files/folders and start from scratch.

[@Heypopsicle]

This worked for me, after days of tearing my hair out over it I found this video! Thank you SO MUCH! For those having trouble installing 4.7.2, try clicking the WINE option on the left panel and installing the wine wine-ge-8-26 version as it didn't come up for me when I was first installing the mod manager onto lutris (as the OP recommended in the comments). Only had system default appear at first.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

Good job 👍

[@burtiebees]

thank you thank you thank you!! This was my exact issue and I didn't know what to do. I am SO out of my depth with Linux. Commenters like you who reply with the solutions to the issues they encountered are literal angels 😇

[@delecti]

Not sure why, but I had to do it a few times for it to actually work. I tried once on Wine 9 (which was the default) but it only installed 4.0. Then after seeing this I tried again with Wine 8.26, and then I did it *again* on 8.26, and it finally installed 4.7.2 (and also 4.5, 4.6, 4.6.1, and 4.6.2).

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

@@delecti I think it's because you already created a prefix with system 9.0 and that didn't work and you just replaced it by changing to wine-ge-8-26 and that doesn't work. Finally you just deleted everything to start again with wine-ge-8-26 fresh and that worked.

[@hannahboucher8361]

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

Glad you think so! Thanks for commenting! :)

[@jase276]

All you need to do to install Vortex is to add it as a non-steam game, slap it in proton experimental, and you're done. That being said, using Lutris to install/run Mod Managers blew my mind...

@@jase276 getting vortex to manage this steam game is a little more complicated. Non-steam version of this game is easy to mod with vortex. I have a video of it using vortex.

You're incredible! For anyone modding on an SD card, if you're having trouble finding where to find where your game is installed, an easy method is to go to Steam, right click on BG3 > manage > browse local files. Otherwise everything is exactly the same as above!

i saw someone else getting vortex and linked the installer in steam and startet that, then moved the bg3 game into the prefix folder in the installed vortex, fixed both paths of game and vortex to the vortex environment and managed his mods this way, by moving and changing bg3 to the vortex prefix folder, he could normally start the game bg3 from steam.

Hello! I got a question real quick, I have watched some of your videos and I'm going to mod BG3 on my deck. I have it on steam, but I have it on my SD card. I watched the video you made about modding games that are installed on the SD card, but given that I'm going to mod BG3 and you made a video for that (using the steam version), I am going to follow this guide. At what point would I need to do somrthing different for installing the mods on the SD card or would you just reccomend following the video with modding games on an SD card? Thank you!

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

Follow this guide, if it's on SD card, the only difference is the game folder location. Good luck!

Do you have any suggestions for "Profile" and "Mod Order" selections in the upper left of BG3MM being blank? I also cannot export order to game, and I believe it's not saving my mod order. Everything else is working perfectly, I've triple checked the file paths and redone installation to make sure it was done right. It's acting as if the file path is incorrect but the files are definitely there.

[@Rysk999]

Great video, your instructions are clear and concise. My problem is I’m not seeing the same Wine Version options you are. I set the runner as Wine, do the same executable as you, same Wine Prefix. Then under Runner options you have a bunch of different ones, but I only have four- System (8.0.2) (default), Proton Hotfix, Proton - Experimental, and Proton 8.0. I tried the system default one but in the end DotNet472 did NOT install, but two other ones did (dotnet40 and 45, I think but need to double check) I’m redoing it now, using Proton 8.0 as the runner instead so hopefully that works, but this really isn’t something I’m familiar with so if you have any advice/other ideas as to what to try I’d appreciate it! Also I copy/pasted the command from your Description into Konsole, but it doesn’t “run” like yours does in the video. Mine just says a bunch of info at once “Display a tree of processes” etc but never seems to move, not like yours did. Not sure if that’s related. Any ideas or advice is appreciated!

Pls help 😭 a week ago I installed bg3 mod manager with no issues, and was able to use it with the steam version of bg3, but then all of the sudden it stopped working and now it won't let me use it despite reinstalling it multiple times and even resetting my deck to factory settings. It only happened after I installed some mods using the in game mod manager when I already had the third party mods enabled, so I'm not sure if that had something to do with it or not. I've tried reinstalling it multiple times exactly like how I initially installed it going by the directions in the video, but every time I start it up, it is unable to find the data folder, and doesn't let me browse my files to put it in settings. Even if I manually type in the path for the data folder and bg3 exe file, it doesn't work even if I press save settings. I've tried everything and it just doesn't work and doesn't save my load order. My profile settings are blank and it doesn't let me export my load order to the game or even a zip file and the option to export it is greyed out. I've even tried deleting the modsettings.lsx file but even that doesn't work. No matter what I do, I can't get it working like it used to :( Btw I have bg3 installed on my sd card since I have a 64 gb ssd. Also the script extender won't install anymore even when I redownloaded it from GitHub and put it into the bin folder after deleting the one that was already in there. I also can't install script extender with the bg3 mod manager. I've also tried uninstalling bg3 and then reinstalling it multiple times but that also didn't work. Some mods still work if I put them directly into the mods folder inside the bg3 folder which for me is located in /home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1086940/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3.

The change I needed to make functioning link was to remove the quotation marks and "escape" the space in "Larian Studios" with \ Linux doesn't like spaces in folder/file names.

I've read some of the comments from users that had the same problem but I've used the same mods on the video. Sorry for bothering you again but do you have any tips or solution for this problem too?

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

Logically if the mods in the video work as shown and it doesn't work for you, the issue should be your setup. When I made this video I was on patch 6. I've not tested on patch 7 that just released.

​@@GrownUpGamingGUGOke, thanks nonetheless for replying so quickly, I'll try to do some testing and hopefully find a solution. I'll update with a reply if I found a fix.

​@@GrownUpGamingGUG Solution found, I re-reinstalled Net 4.7.2 because for some reason it had just disappeared. After reinstalling it the forever loading screen reappered (the "loading profiles" one), but I found out that an easy fix is to link only the the Mods folder (the one inside the original Larian Studios folder, not the one created for the Manager) into a copy of the original Larian Studios folder without the Net 4.7.2 installed. All mods in your video worked, tried some other mods to test them in game and they worked as well. Thank for the tips m8, you're a legend. Ps: Since last update I think now all mods need to be activated from the in-game mod manager too to work in game, just a quick note if someone read this comment and still the mods don't work.

Wanna ask sir, do we need to manually install the mod manager like this in steam deck with the currently released patch 7 ?

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

@@JHgjvdb the process should be the same.

What should I do if selecting Winetricks (step 6) fills in the prefix folder but never boots up? Lutris stops responding and I can't even close it without shutting down the steam deck

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

Maybe it's an issue with lutris? Have you tried using lutris with something else? Does it do the same thing?

[@riseark]

​@GrownUpGamingGUG no this is my first time using lutris and first time with the steam deck. I've removed and reloaded lutris and then tried again and left it sit for about 4 hours and it seemed to magically work after I came back to it, so I will be continuing on! I dare not question what happened

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

Great, Happy Gaming 🎉

I have a question, don't know if you'll be able to help or even see this at all, but I have my game installed on an sd card as the steam decks internal drive cannot fit the game for me(64 version), is there a way to make it work to install the mod manager to work with the game when it is installed in the sd card?

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

It's the same process but location of the mods and prefix folder changed to SD card location.
