How to Mod Baldur's Gate 3
Manually Add Mods
The AppData folder is usually set to hidden by default. Make sure you have see hidden folders set in your Windows settings to find it.
Locate your mods folder and extract all the needed files into it. According to the developers, you can find your mod folder at AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods.
Once you have all the files in the folder, edit the modsettings.lsx according to the instructions of the mod maker using any text editor program you prefer. This file can be found in the PlayersProfile folder which you can find on the same directory as the mod folder. Hit save after editing and launch the game to check if the mod worked.
