Whatever the Baldur's Gate 3 modders have been drinking, I'd like a double. They've given us mods that make your entire party scrabble around on all fours, add an entire roguelike mode, and commit a war crime against Astarion's hair follicles. And they haven't slowed down yet.
Latest Highlights from Nexus Mods
The latest round of uploads to Nexus Mods includes a couple of highlights. The first is for the Shadowheart Nation, giving the cleric of variable goddesses an improved imp-summoning ability. Referencing a running gag from the actual-play video where some of the Baldur's Gate 3 voice actors played their characters in a game of D&D (since canonized in the game's epilogue), Shadowheart was first given the ability to summon an adorable imp named Bing Bong in a mod released last year. It's now been tweaked by another modder and released as Better Bing Bong, which makes several changes to the original.
Another standout is Mankini, a mod that adds a new variety of underwear for gentlemen elves, half-elves, and humans. It's the mankini from Borat, available in four different sizes, and it's fully dyeable if you'd rather have it in boreal blue or lush burgundy. To install it, you'll also need the Tutorial Chest Summoning mod, which a bunch of mods rely on as a way of distributing new items.
Full Modding Support on the Horizon
Full modding support is coming to Baldur's Gate 3 in patch 7, complete with a mod manager. That update's closed beta has been delayed, however, thanks to a bug that broke passive dice rolls. Even without official support, the BG3 modding community is thriving. Beyond the silly mods like these, they've also given us more straightforwardly useful tweaks, like the essential mod to remove the party size limit.
