So here is my hope: At the bottom is the load order recommendation for patch 7 - Source Larian Community Help Discord (you can find Larian in Discord) Maybe pin this with the warning ALWAYS CHECK MOD PAGE FOR SPECIFIC MOD ORDER RECOMENDATIONS!!! Could you would you make the following Sections:
0 Improved UI with Overrides Mods 1 Library Mods 2 Single Purpose SE Modsods (plunger) 3 New Content Mods 4 Expanded Content Mods 5 Visual (CC) Mods 6 Patch Mods for above 7 Unique Tav 8 EOTB or ASTRL CC Mods 9 EOTB or Astrl Mods 10 EOTB or ASTRL Presets 11 Unique Tav Specific Patches 12 Padme patches and other Major Patches 13 Framework Mods
Your Current List 5a Hair 3a Equipment 3a Clothing 4a Classes 5a Character Customization - Utav etal make this complicated, but folks will need to consult this sticky and Larian Discord 13a Bottom of the order - I think this may go away if folks follow this 3a Armor 2a Animations - might really be a 1b below actual Libraries 1a 3a Accessories
These need sections designated by folks who know more than I do Gameplay Environment Dyes Dice Companions - Bug Fixes (maybe you mean patches?) Bodies - Audio -
This is the current list from the folks that help on the Larian Discord
0-IMPROVED UI WITH THE OVERRIDES THAT WERE NORMALLY IN THE BOTTOM HALF OF BG3MM SHOULD BE AT THE TOP! STARTING WITH IMPROVED!!! 1-library mods( community library, 5e spells, MCM, LIBRARYS IN GENERAL) 2-single purpose SE mods ( has golden plunger next to it/check mod page first for directions!!!!) (BETTER HOTBAR AND ALL THOSE BADDIES CAN GO INBETWEEN HERE/JUST FOLLOW GUIDE PINNED BY CAITES) 3-new spells, new actions, game fixes, new items (clothes, weapons) 4-expanded content ( feats, races, subraces, classes, subclasses) 5-visual mods aka cosmetics (heads, hairs, horns, piercings, skin/hair colors) 6-any patches of any of the items above (always make sure minor patches are below whatever they are patching) 7-unique tav (optional) 8-eotb or astrals 9-eotb or astrals presets 10-eotb or astrals patches 11-unique tav SPECIFIC patches 12-padme patches (ANY MAJOR PATCHES) 13-compatibility framework - LAST/ OR HIGHEST NUMBERS
Only Compatibility Framework goes at the bottom. Unless stated otherwise, a framework should go at the top right next to libraries, as it will serve as a dependency for other mods.
You can also easily extract the .paks and rename to whatever you like using BG3 Modding Multitool. Just drag the .pak inside it, edit the name of the extracted mod inside its meta file, then drag the folder back inside to repack. It takes like 30 seconds.
If mods don't have any notes about compatibility, then load order isn't that important. Just group your mods in whatever way makes sense to you. As long as ImprovedUI and Community Lib are at the top, Compat. Framework is at the bottom, and you pay attention to the compatibility sections of all the other mods, then you will be fine.
I have never commented on a mod before, but OH MY GOODNESS THANK YOU SO MUCH! Incredibly helpful to have these labels! Makes organizing my load order a breeze <3
Would you consider to add a few additional categories, like: Camp, Cloaks, Jewelry, Gear, Gameplay, Container, Tools, Others, Fixes. Also possible: Armor Collections, Clothing Collections.
I'll definitely do a Part 2 after there's been enough requests to justify one. To address yours though, there is Gameplay, Misc, and Bug Fixes. Tools should be synonymous with Utilities, unless you mean something else? Like, I would put the Transmog crystals in Utilities. I think I thought about putting "Balance" but must have forgot. Or maybe I thought Gameplay was sufficient. For the rest there is Equipment and Accessories, for now.
- At the top of my Load Order I have Utilities, witch are Mods I need for other Mods, or just important Basic Mods. Like: VFX Library by Shivero OR even ImprovedUI for example. I would put the Transmog crystals into the "Gear" section to be honest. :-D - Armor Collection, Cloaks and Clothing Collection: I have a lot of Clothing & Armor mods ... so it would be great to have here a bit more Separation. - Container: I have about 4 or 5 Bag-Mods. - Camp: There are a few great new / updated Mods for your camp, like tents, structures and decoration. - For me: Accessories don't "say" a lot: In my Jewelry section I have Rings, Amuletts ... stuff like this. - I have a "Fixes" separator, there are not only Bug Fixes inside ...
However: Everybody have a nother "view", handle stuff in a differend way. SO a extensive selection of Categories could match with the approach of more people.
Like I said I will add more, but I would definitely put map edits (Camp, there also Nautiloid available, probably more in the future) as Environment. I have Libraries and Frameworks under Resources (and TIL Compatibility Framework is a "Bottom of Load Order" one, whoops)
HI - Did you know, Laughing Leader has been maintaining this mod manager since at least 2019. They started it fore DOS 2. Did you know they routinely develop it as the game changes and it's an incredible amount of work. They incorporated Norbyte's SE. Anyway, I'm sure you meant the comment casually. But, please also note - this has been done before and it was pulled down. Was it hard to maintain? Were folks mean about it "not being done sooner"? We'll never know. Just say thank you :)
I will give this great mod here a try. Looks good! THANKS!
BUT: There are already two other mods I know who are doing the same thing (for BG3, here on Nexus) ... could be more. Just cause a lot of people are so surprised. The Mod I'm using till last year was release in Nov 2023.

I think QoL - Quality of Life setting would be good.
thanks for this mod! :-)
