Just a heads-up for anyone browsing BG3 mods on Nexus right now.

The mod “Even Better Romance” is currently gaining traction and showing up in trending lists and discussions around Mods of the Month.

What many people don’t realize is that the author behind it is orinEsque.

If that name sounds familiar, it’s because they’re the creator of the “No Alphabets” mod which is a mod pack that became infamous for trying to remove or rewrite LGBTQ+ content in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Now they’re back with another mod that’s getting a lot of visibility.

The core feature of Even Better Romance is essentially blocking same-sex romances in the game. It restricts companion romances based on gender and prevents gay and lesbian relationships that normally exist in BG3’s default system.

Originally the mod was presented in a way that avoided saying this directly, but the goal is basically the same: remove LGBTQ romance options from the game.

People in the comments also asked about non-binary support, and the author flat out refused to add it.

You can check the posts on the mod page yourself if they haven’t been cleaned up.

What’s frustrating is that this isn’t a new creator experimenting with romance settings. This is someone who already made multiple mods targeting LGBTQ representation in the game.

I’ve personally reported the account to NexusMods several times because of the creator’s history, but nothing has happened.

At this point it honestly feels like NexusMods is perfectly fine letting someone with that track record keep publishing mods.

I’m not telling anyone what to download.

But if a mod is climbing Nexus rankings or appearing in Mods of the Month discussions, it’s probably worth knowing who made it and what their previous mods were about.

Just… check the author before you endorse or download.

Just saw this and it sounds insanely ambitious.

A team of modders working on Deathbringer’s Reign is reportedly recreating the whole Baldur’s Gate 1 inside Baldur’s Gate 3 as a custom campaign.

If they actually pull this off, it could be one of the biggest RPG mod projects ever bringing the original story into modern graphics, mechanics, and full voice acting potential.

I’m really curious how they’ll handle:

the scale of BG1’s world

companions and dialogue depth

and whether it’ll feel like BG1 or more like BG3

Still, this could be HUGE for fans of the series.

What do you think hype or too ambitious?

The mod author, orinEsque, has been unbanned from Nexus and is being protected by moderators.

A while ago, an infamous mod which turned Dame Aylin into Ser Aylin was removed from Nexus and the author was banned.

Despite the claim that this was an "everyday gender swap", the author made in a later video, this was a clear erasure of LGBT relationships.

The author later followed this with a "No Alphabets" mod which was a much wider erasure. (Proving that this was always the intent)

I've previously made a post about a mod erasing POC from the game, which they were also involved in the creation of.

They have now released a new mod on Nexus called "Dignify", which as of this post doesn't seem to contain anything harmful. However, downloading mods on Nexus contributes to the author financially.

Nexus moderators have locked the comment section of the mod in advance, likely anticipating the reaction to the exposure of the author.

I was looking for outfits for shadowheart and I saw this one but I don't know where to get it, does anyone know which mod it's from?

All I did was cast a lvl 1 Armor of Agathys before the goblin attack. :C

😋😋😋So many mods

I can tell the shoulders are from "Basket Full of Equipment. SFW version", can't seem to find the dress mod though.

Edit: Thanks to XLuluxLovelyX we have the mod. Use the one called ¨Fancy¨.

Third pic in the images section is the armor mod.

🥰🥰🥰

70 mods in my manger and my pc ain't even sweating 😎

Thought I'd share these cunty makeovers, let me know what you guys think? Feel free to ask what mods things are from and I'll try my best to let you know!

I know you can probably only do this in multiplayer or a hireling mod, but I was wondering if anyone has made a mod that allows the dark urge to be a companion in the game or something along those lines? I think this fan comic illustrates the idea very well.

Edit: This panel is from an ongoing comic by artist, u/angie-mations

As far as I can see, this modder has done nothing but created fantastic content across MULTIPLE games and platforms. What did we do to them?? This is why we can’t have nice things!

Might be a shot in the dark, but is there a mod out there that can achieve this sort of look where there are two colours spread across different strands of hair? Trying to recreate this appearance for Shadowheart in-game.

sir i get that you're the child of a murder god but literally ONLY your face is modded and it's a mod i've used before without issue WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE THAT

🥰🥰

I’ve spent weeks and weeks on this, starting with absolutely zero modding experience, and I’m so excited to release it on nexus!

I’m still trying to figure out how to package it all correctly though - currently the head is invisible when I load the mod in the game 😅. I used a half elf head as the starting point for this gith head and having to switch races came with a whole load of problems due to having absolutely no idea what I was doing. Hopefully I can get it all sorted quickly though.

I’ll share the link to the mod once it’s finally finished and posted on nexus 😁. (Mod will be a single githyanki head for BT1 btw)

So many mods😋

After a gallon of blood, sweat, and tears, my Shadowheart gear mod is finally done!

It includes gear for Clerics of Selûne and Shar, with 4 domains each: Life, Light, Tempest, and War. It’s like 80ish pieces of gear total with the 2 goddesses and the options.

You can find it on Nexus, mod.io (and in-game), and I’ve applied for Mac and Console.

found this beautiful tav on Pinterest and I’m wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what the mod is for the clothing ??
