Baldur’s Gate 3 is a marvel in the gaming industry, offering gamers a robust and immersive experience unlike any other. However, even though Baldur’s Gate 3 is a game for the ages, that doesn’t mean it can’t be improved with mods. On its own, BG3 doesn’t need a single mod installed, as you can play through the 100+ hour epic just as the developers intended and have an unforgettable time. Of course, if you’ve already played through one of the best RPGs ever made once–or you’re simply looking to enhance the experience on your first playthrough– some of the best Baldur’s Gate 3 mods can make a world of difference.
Fortunately, developer Larian is making it easier than ever to mod the hit RPG. Not only have the developers opened up full mod support since launch, but BG3 also has its own mod manager you can use to organize all the mods you download. The mod manager works on PC as well as consoles, but the console selections of mods are far more limited than PC. Speaking of consoles and PC, the recent Patch 8 update allows every BG3 to engage in cross-play, giving you the chance to play with friends on other platforms. Patch 8 also adds new subclasses, a photo mode, and various other fixes. This is the last major update for BG3, so now’s the time to hop back in with some shiny new mods.
While the modding scene in BG3 isn’t as expansive as the Fallout mods or Elder Scrolls mods communities, there are plenty of mods to improve the RPG in a number of ways. From quality-of-life fixes and lifted restrictions to full-on gameplay changes, mods have the ability to completely transform the way you play BG3. In this Baldur’s Gate 3 mods guide, we’ll be listing our picks for the 35 best mods you can download for BG3 in 2025. These mods are in no particular order and cover a wide variety of categories, so there’s something for everyone to pick from.
