#vortex mod manager

Download Vortex mod Manager, this’ll be your best friend when it comes to installing mods. You can find it here: https://www.nexusmods.com/about/vortex/

Follow the prompts to get it set up and you’re good to go. If you have any trouble just look up ‘downloading vortex’ on YouTube. There’s a plethora of tutorials uploaded regularly with each update.

Next, download your mods. For this one let’s use the Aasimar mod I’ve been most interested in recently https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/4159?tab=description

It allows access to race based perks, wing and facial customisations etc just like any other race in game.

Next, check the mod requirements. Some mods require other things to work smoothly, especially for things such as character animations, unique dialogue trees or more:

This one requires the improved UI mod you can download here: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/366

If you’re confused on how to download said mods here’s a simple way. Click download with vortex, and click on slow download if you’re not paying for the premium service. It’ll ask to open vortex, click open vortex and the mod manager will do the rest of the work.

Or if it’s a manual file. Don’t be scared. Click download and open up where the file was saved in your files. Then simply drag and paste into vortex manually. The mod manager will configure the data and install it from there without any further input needed from you.

Remember there’s more tutorials available online, I’ve just seen a few people afraid or unsure where to start. And you can do this for a variety of games so long as you’re downloading mods specific for those games. Don’t try loading a baldurs gate mod into skyrim your pc will cry etc.

AND! Most importantly. Don’t be afraid of viruses. All these mods go through EXTENSIVE checks with nexus and they or vortex will filter out any thing dangerous. It’s completely safe but if you are nervous, a vpn or any virus protection software will keep you safe where they fail.
