> Baldur's Gate 3: .pak mods, modsettings.lsx, Script Extender.
## Mod folder and format
`.pak` files go in `%LOCALAPPDATA%/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3/Mods/`. Active mods are registered in `modsettings.lsx` (in the PlayerProfiles/Public folder); managers like BG3 Mod Manager or Vortex write it. Many mods need the BG3 Script Extender (Norbyte): verify the current version on its page.
## Sources
Nexus Mods first, then the in-game Mod.io browser, then GitHub.
## Compatibility
Game patches can break `.pak` mods and the Script Extender; check the mod page for the supported patch.
## Load order
Set in the mod manager; reflected in `modsettings.lsx`.
## Logs
Script Extender and game logs live under `%LOCALAPPDATA%/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3/` (verify subfolders for the user's version).
## Common failures
Mod not showing -> not registered in `modsettings.lsx`. Crash after patch -> outdated Script Extender or `.pak`.
