About this mod

Overhauls the loading screen system with new visuals (130+ new screens) and triggers.

Permissions and credits
If I have to see the Shadowlands loading screen again in Act 3 I will lose it


What does this mod do


This mod overhauls the loading screens system both visually and systemically by adding new visuals (About 130+ in comparison to the 15 ones in vanilla game) corresponding to each act/area accordingly.

Meaning that in Act 1, you will get restrictively Act 1 screens, in Act 2, you will get restrictively Act 2 screens... etc. Which is not implemented in base game quiet accurately. [This means that this mod contains SPOILERS and I recommend installing it for a second playthrough or so]

This list contains the exact special triggers that the game allowed me to use and maximize:

  • Startup
  • Character Creation | Multiplayer
  • Tutorial
  • Act 1 (General)
  • Act 1 Crèche
  • Act 2 (General)
  • Act 2.5 Wyrm's Lookout
  • Act 3 Wyrm's Crossing
  • Act 3 (Lower City)
  • Act 3 Iron Throne
  • Act 3 High Hall | Finale
  • Epilogue

There are Four Editions:

  • Base Edition
  • Base Edition with companion promos implemented in Act1/Act2/Act2
  • Mizoraless Edition with Mid-zora edited out of Wyll's keyart
  • Mizoraless Edition with Mid-zora edited out of Wyll's keyart with companion promos implemented in Act1/Act2/Act2


Compatibility


This mod should be compatible with any mod that does not edit the LoadingScreen.xaml

Meaning any mod that changes the loading screens will be incompatible by default.

There is a patch provided for Aether's Better Loading Screens on her page.

The order should be my mod above and the patch below.

Notes

PATCH 7 | To install for Patch 7, the latest updated version of BG3 ModManager is required

  • To install: Download the .rar and import the mod from Mod Manager, and then allow the mod into load order [It will be highlighted in orange]
  • Since the mod is an override, to deactivate it you must delete it. It should be safe to uninstall at any point.
  • All images have a noise filter on in order to reduce compression pixelation, it is a deliberate choice.
  • The randomiser is out of my control, it can show the same image multiple times or shuffle properly, either way I cannot control it.
  • This mod was created by using various screenshots of BG3 artists who offered screenshots of their work on ArtStation, without them, we could not have the environmental beauty that is Baldur's Gate 3 and this mod intends to bring attention to it.
  • Any edits or modifications to the screenshots have been done in Photoshop and through heavy-work of stamp tool or so. No AI has been used in any part of this mod as it is a celebration of BG3 artists, not to disrespect.

Future plans

  • Update more visuals if it does not impact performance.
