Thanks to Larian Studio’s excellent care,Baldur’s Gate 3now offers something that isn’t a common thing on consoles: mods. So, if you’ve already played the game so much that you’re in need of a boost to reignite the sparkle, want more cosmetic options, or just want to mess around with the fanbase’s weird ideas, mods will serve you well.

Keep in mind that mods are still rather recent, so not many absurd options are available just yet - though there are some interesting ones already. Still, new mods will pop up over time, and we’ll keep you updated on our recommended picks for your next playthrough.

Updated on June 07, 2025, by Lucas Olah:Baldur’s Gate 3 has been out for a while now, hasn’t it? There has been more than enough time for people to spend hundreds - if not thousands - of hours on the game already. Because of that, most hardcore fans still playing the game may have noticed that Baldur’s Gate 3 isn’t particularly hard. Tactician is pretty doable, and once you get over the dread of permadeath, even Honour Mode is achievable. Thus, we decided to add a few extra suggestions that focus on changing how the game works, making it harder than originally designed.

Despite all the customization the game offers, you don’t have a lot of dice options by default - and one of them requires you to beat honour mode. Luckily, there aremanymods that give you a different look to your dice rolls.

We won’t dive into all of them, as there are already many of them, and that list will only grow, but you’ll most likely find one that fits you, and you can just leave it there as you go through the game.

Along with the dice, you can change something that will be a bit more significant to your character: their hair. Luckily, there are also multiple mods that affect your hairstyle, giving you many original picks to choose from or access to NPC hairstyles so you can steal your companions' looks for yourself.

Along with those, it’s worth giving a special shout-out toKay’s Hair Extensions modby perseidipity, which allows you to add extra stuff, such as ponytails, to the pre-existing hairstyles, offering you more customization.

You can also find a few custom face presets, from original designs to faces stolen from key characters, like Gortash or Mizora.

Another great cosmetic option is to have all camp clothes available to you right away, especially considering how long it takes to get a better option during the actual game. You no longer need to start with a simple white shirt. Instead, you can pick an option that better suits the background you want for your character, for example.

The mod also gives you all dye options right away, so not only do you get to change your outfit for something else, but you get to color it as you please.

For those who want to try everything the game has to offer, well, good luck because there’s a lot here, and it’s easy to get lost between what you’ve already done and what you haven’t tried yet. Still, one fun way to have different playthroughs is by playing asan origin characterrather than creating one from scratch.

That said, you may use this mod to have a tag along with every dialogue option that comes from the fact you’re playing as an origin character, so you’ll know which dialogue options may lead you to something new and exclusive to the character, even if all it does is a unique response from whoever you’re talking to.

DungeonsAndSouls

For those who aren’t aware, Baldur’s Gate 3 is essentially a video-game adaptation of Dungeons & Dragons, with most rules being straight from it or an adaptation of it. However, one common thing in D&D is house rules, where the players create their own rules, and some are so popular that you get to see them in many tables.

One of these common house rules is to start the gamewith a feat,regardless of your race or class. And now, you have a mod that adapts this rule for you (though, according to game limitations stated by the mod’s creator, the extra feat will only pop up when you level up to level two instead of the option appearing right away at character creation).

This mod sounds simple and will only affect the start of your game, but D&D gives you the option of choosing your starting gear based on your class, and that’s a feature sorely missed in Baldur’s Gate 3.

With this mod, you’re able to choose an armor that best fits your character’s needs right at level one instead of having to buy or drop the armor you need. Now we just need a mod where we can choose our starting weapons, and we’re good.

If you like playing as a spellcaster, this is essentially a DLC. D&D has expansion books, and many of them introduced us to new spells. Thanks to this mod, you can use spells that Baldur’s Gate 3 didn’t adapt.

We’re not done with mods that add expansion content from D&D into Baldur’s Gate 3. Now that spells are settled, you can also get feats from expansion books and add them to your journey to Baldur’s Gate.

You can get a fighting style without the need for multiclassing and get Eldritch Invocations or Metamagic options with any class, among other feats that work well for many classes and builds. The possibilities are endless.

With the Wings Unlocked mod, you’re able to create wing items and equip them in any character, giving your character (and your party if you want to) a nice set of wings to fly wherever.

There are many cosmetic variations, so you can look celestial, fiendish, or others, and all of them will essentially give you a permanent fly ‘spell,’ so you can stop wasting your bonus action jumping and just go where you want to go.

Skirbie

If you want to drastically change how the game works, you can give your character Force powers based on Star Wars. This mod will give you lightsaber-like weapons, which you can dual-wield or use a double-blade one, and an outfit.

This outfit isn’t just for show, however. Each piece will grant you abilities, and the powers they give you will improve over levels, making your character stronger in the Force as you level up. you may pull and push people, choke them from afar, shoot lightning from your fingertips, and more.
