My Baldur’s Gate 3 Mod Nightmare
So today my Baldur’s Gate 3 mods from that adult mod site completely broke after the new hotfix dropped. Game kept crashing right at character creation screen – typical disaster scenario. Grabbed my coffee and got ready for battle.
First Things First: Damage Control
Did the absolute basics everyone forgets:
- Removed ALL mods from the game folder manually (not just disabled)
- Wiped mod settings files from AppData Local folder – surprise garbage leftovers!
- Verified game files through Steam like a responsible adult
Still crashed? Yep. Knew it wasn’t gonna be that easy.
The Real Culprit Hunt
Started reinstalling mods ONE BY ONE like a psychopath:
- Body replacers first – worked fine surprisingly
- Animation mods next – instant CTD when I loaded save
- Script extender related stuff – total shitshow, crashed main menu
Bingo! Turns out two animation frameworks were fighting each other after update. Like two drunks at a bar.
The Nasty Workaround
Had to sacrifice my favorite tentacle animation pack – RIP. Then:
- Redownloaded BOTH frameworks fresh
- Deleted old config files hiding in Documents folders
- Manual load order fix by renaming mod folders (001_, 002_ etc.)
Also found NSFW dialogue tweaks needed manual ini edits because someone can’t version control properly.
Victory At Last
Three hours later? Game booted with all core mods working. Key takeaways:
- Never trust auto updaters for sketchy mods
- Modding tools lie – manual folder checks always needed
- Always keep backups BEFORE patches drop
Just another Tuesday modding this damn game. Wonder how long until next patch breaks everything again…
