Tools

You’re gonna need some tools in order to start modding. Make sure you download the following, as they’re basically mandatory for modding:

BG3 Multitool by ShinyHobo
- The multitool is an awesome tool that provides several important functions, chief among them the ability to search the game files, and to pack your mod into a format ready to be imported into BG3MM.
Lslib by Norbyte
- Lslib allows you to convert files between editable formats and game-ready formats. See Modding:Unpacking and converting files for more details.
ScriptExtender by Norbyte
- The Script Extender adds Lua/Osiris scripting support to the game.
Blender (version 3.6 recommended)
- This is needed only if you plan to do any kind of mesh editing (hair, heads, clothes, weapons, etc.)
- Collada/GR2 import/export Blender plugin by Norbyte
  - For importing/exporting .GR2 files, which BG3 uses
