defending evil and hated female characters online is a full time job and i clock in every single morning.
also as a 22yr old who has been on tumblr basically daily for the last six years or so
i’m thinking it’s time to start weaning myself off of this goddamn shitstorm of a website
how’s that going bestie
@mutantenfisch ty for appreciating my baby so you get a lil tutorial
First step is naturally to have Baldur's Gate 3 installed and preferably patched to the latest version as that one is what will mostly be supported by modders.
Next you install a mod manager of your choice. I used bg3 mod manager because it was the one recommended in the first mod I used and it works great for me.
Link to download it:
https://github.com/LaughingLeader/BG3ModManager/releases
Unzip the archive wherever you like it doesn't matter and click on the icon.
Before you start just to make sure everything works as intended, fill out the paths for the game.
(Mine found the game by itself but never hurts to check.)
Okay now we are ready to get mods. Download the one you like from Nexus (or anywhere else tbh I don't think the files are different)
As an example I'll use this one https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/213
First rule of modding is to CHECK THE REQUIREMENTS
We see that author helpfully linked the things we need for their mod to work.
We click on Patch 3 Mod Fixer, go to FILES and download (use MANUAL DOWNLOAD) it and do the same with Improved UI. And download the mod we're actually here for too 👍
Most mods come in zip files containing pak files. You don't have to unzip them bg3 manager takes care of it itself.
Go back to the mod manager and follow my very fancy diagram
Make sure you got all the mods in the requirements section. That's it!
You can also click Go->Open mods folder and check if they are there.
Read the mods descriptions carefully - usually authors will note if there's a specific order their mods should be or direct you to a patch that might solve conflicts with other mods.
If you want to delete the mods you can drag the mods back to the Inactive right column (click save!!) and then delete the paks from the folder above^
Hopefully it's coherent enough!;^) Ask me if you have any more troubles and if someone more savvy in modding than me noticed a mistake in this little guide I'm all ears!
And remember - a lot of mods will stop working on full release so I'd strongly recommend clearing up everything you installed before loading up the 1.0 version.

i dont think the 1975 understands that what they did last night will probably put the lgbt movement in malaysia by like 20 steps.
its already so hard for us to talk about it and help people understand but now all they will be thinking about is how this concert had a man kiss another man in a drunken stupor.
while im glad that for many people around the world, they are able to live freely and love who they love. but this is not the case for us living in places where it is illegal and punishable by law.
im not saying that i think the law is right or just. but i am saying that we do what it takes for us to survive.
and most of the time, surviving means loving quietly to live another day.
(if you think 1975 getting banned is harsh, think about the potential backlash a queer person might face here)
ALSO to the people who are not from Malaysia or South East Asia in general, not everyone here is homophobic, so stop grouping all of us together like that. its easier for you to make comments saying that the whole country/region is homophobic but that isnt true.
we're here.
listen to us.
