Enabling the Script Extender Console:
* This article doesn't cover installation of the Script Extender
* If you can't figure out how to install it, just use BG3 Mod Manager ( [Link] ) and do 'Download & Extract the Script Extender' from its tools menu at the top.
* If you're struggling with this, you may be better off waiting for a later version of the mod that is more user-friendly.


Enabling the Script Extender Console:

If the 'ScriptExtenderSettings.json' file doesn't already exist in your BG3 bin folder, create a file with that name (exactly - NOT 'ScriptExtenderSettings.json.txt') and put these contents in it:

{
  "CreateConsole": true
}


If the 'ScriptExtenderSettings.json' file already exists in your BG3 bin folder, add this line. Note that if you get the commas between lines wrong (too few or too many), the file will not load.

"CreateConsole": true,


Using the Script Extender Console:
* If you've done the above steps correctly, a 2nd window should start with BG3 when you run it.
* This 2nd window will look kind of like a command prompt
* While the game is running, you can switch focus to this 2nd window and press return on your keyboard to enter the Lua Console input mode
* You can enter commands into this console now
