If you encounter problems look it up in the FAQ first. if you don't have problems just ignore the following wall of text. Yes, There will be a mod.io version, stay tuned.
FAQ - If you encounter a strange problem, consider sending me a copy of your save file. Locate your save file and mods, Pack them into a zip file, Upload to eg Dropbox or Pixeldrain, and PM me with the link (and a desription of your problems). This helps me enormously in solving your problem. - My companions broke up with me in A3! Read the front page again. If you go to a3 without unlocking the kissing menu, then you will be dumped by that companion. To avoid this, LONG REST UNTIL YOU DO NOT GET ANY SCENES BEFORE YOU GO INTO THE POOL TO SHADOWFELL. - Ending?It is said that that you will get all the cutscenes one after another. Provided you finished all their quests. Note: at the ending the following story events will cause relationships to end.

Gale becoming god/Laezel leaves Faerun: Ends relationship with them As Laezel, leave Faerun: ends relatinship with EVERYONE. Accompany Karlach to Avernus: this will end relationship with EVERYONE
Known problem: Breaking up with companions in the dialog before the Epilogue will be voided. This includes companion breaking up with you (eg Astarion/Halsin-Illithid interacton), as well as you breaking up with them (who even does that???) - Should I update the mod? Always update the mod. PS it is safe to remove or update at any time of the playthrough. - Can I upgrade/uninstall/install mid game? Yes. Note: when you upgrade this mod, do not load a save that is in the middle of a conversation. If you are not upgrading then load whatever save you wish. - If something does not work as expected: check your installation first. ESPECIALLY if you are getting the "I am mad and will dump you IF you do not dump xxx immediately" dialog, check your installation first. Check if you have the spell this mod has in your prepare spell panel. - Help! I cannot type in the console: Hit enter to get a prompt? - Vortex: If you have problems installing manually, or with bg3mm get a vortex to install this mod. don't install as replacer. Remember to deploy your mod settings. You should then see a file called "__folder_managed_by_vortex" under Baldurs Gate 3\Data\Mods\NoRomanceLimit. - Tiefling/Raider Party: at the party you must not try to pick up multiple people because you can only go to one . The rest who got NoShowed may permanently close their romance with you. - 请注意，由于script extender会在你打开游戏的时候去github上下载内容，所以国内开游戏的时候也可能需要魔法上网。 - Does this work with Minthara recruit mods? Yes. (Note the current implementation is a work around: you can only be "Partnered" with her and dating will transition to Partnered immediately. But you are not missing out on anything as Larian implemented nothing for her.) - Console? Console is not needed due to the spell. The spell is added after installing the mod. You can also use the spell as an indicator. It shows up => everything is fine.
What works? As the mod is rewritten, there is no problem with the "chill"/"serious" sequencing anymore. Romancing should work in any order, regardless of having a "serious partner" or not. Note: when you enter a3, all dating (i.e. chill) relationships will be closed permanently. Serious relationships will not close. This is in the vanilla game and it makes sense. Stop asking about it. Note: it is suggested that at the a1 party you agree to only one person that you will spend the night with them and show up. Do not say you will go to someone and then not show up.
What doesn't work: Multiplayer is not supported (and possibly no longer will be). You can still try to use it in MP, the Host should be able to romance multiple toons, but if strange things happen I will most probably not fix it.

Here is a detailed explanation on Halsin from Caeliat. Alternatively, use the option "Consider me and xx ended".
For the record, for people wanting to romance Halsin who have multiple partner flags active with other people, you don't have to do anything about it, no need to temporarily flip flags on the others because he has no Dating flag, he progresses directly to Partner. As long as when he mentions he needs consent from your partner you pick someone who, in vanilla, is already fine with polyamory (like Shadowheart or Astarion) to go talk to, everything progresses as expected and his relationship is not blocked by pre-existing partner states. In short, if you want to eventually add Halsin to the polycule, you don't need to delay the act 2 cutscenes from others. He only makes a move in act 3 anyway, get some good times in act 2 where you can find them
A small word regarding Vortex: vortex is really good at managing mods that are packaged as loose files that are mean to replace the original game files (AKA replacers), as in lots of visuals mods. So say no to drag and dropping and try using vortex to manage those drag and drop mods. ThePavaoKapow suggested a solution for console troubles:
For anyone having issues not being able to type into the console, it seems to be an issue with launching the game through Vortex. As someone who also uses vortex, a fix that worked for me was just launching the game through steam. I was able to type into the console after this and set flags, etc. Hopefully this works for you.

V9.1 minor features Halsin scene will trigger anyway if you choose "I will talk to my partner" and long rest immediately. Add some spells for toggling and seeing romance status, so console is not needed anymore. Because of the new added spells do not work too well with loose files, the loose files version is no longer provided. Use vortex to install the pak with LSLib. Known issue: when using the spell on some companions an error is thrown in the console. This does not affect gameplay so I will just fix it with the next version, if there is one V9.03 bugfix fix not being able to break up with companions in dialogs/romance scenes.

Fix the following problems: If you are in a stable relatipnship with some one, some other companions may have romance problems.
First of all, I am using this in patch 8, with no big problems(?) - except: I have bedded Laezel, ShadowHeart, and Karlach. The mod report shows I'm dating Shadow, and in a "relationship" with the other two. If I toggle the others into "dating", using this mod, the mod says dating is set, but when I use the report function, it still just says "relationship". I should point out that I play on PC, play the GoG version of the game, and use Vortex to manage my mods. Oh! I have found some info online that implies "relationship" is the same as "partner". This is confusing, but I will explore it some more.
Hello, i've read some comments mentioning this mod works for patch 8, anyone who has already tried it in patch 8 can confirm? I'd be thankful for some feedback as this was a major mod in my modlist.
The spell was not appearing for me until I updated my BG3 Mod Toolkit. If Steam doesn't automatically update the Toolkit, you can manually force it by right-clicking the game in your library, then going to Properties > DLC, then unchecking/rechecking the box next to the BG3 Toolkit Data. This should force the game to redownload the updated Gustav files.
It seems like the mod is working properly for me now, though I haven't fully tested it, so ymmv. Hope it works for others!
"If Steam doesn't automatically update the Toolkit, you can manually force it by right-clicking the game in your library, then going to Properties > DLC, then unchecking/rechecking the box next to the BG3 Toolkit Data."
I've tried going through the library directly in Steam and then going through the installed files, but neither have the 'BG3 Toolkit Data' you mention. I'm a PC player on Windows 11. Did I miss something?
For me it works on Patch 8. I successfully installed it mid-game (Act 2) yesterday. It didn't work at first, then - as suggested in the other comments here - I downloaded the Toolkit on Steam and everything ran perfectly.
Just wanted to point out that Laezel left Faerun while I was partnered with her, Minthara, and Shadowheart, and none of the romances ended, Laezel even had romance dialogue in the epilogue.
I see that it's listed as a problem in the FAQ, so just reporting that it looks like its been fixed for anyone like me who was very worried and planned to use console commands to fix it.
Heya. So, this might seem like a pretty pointless question to ask but...I'm wondering if there's a way to really get the full benefit of this mod.
I just finished a playthrough (on Patch 8 btw, no issues at all) with this mod, and I romanced everyone as you do. I got to the ending scenes, ready to see all the payoffs...and then, second or third in those scenes, was Karlach burning up. And I realised right then and there that there was no way in hell I could choose any option but to accompany her to Avernus with Wyll and, in doing so, rob myself of seeing every scene to follow.
Having now played through the epilogue as well, I have to stand by my decision. I can't conceive of there being a better option for Karlach, not with the discussions in the epilogue. I could reload the save I made then and let her die to see those scenes I missed but...no. No, I really can't. And I really don't want to just go and watch someone else's Tav play through them on YouTube either.
Which leads me back to my question. Is there any way at all to both accompany Karlach and Wyll to Avernus and have all the other romances play out as though I didn't? The fact that this hasn't been made a feature in the mod already implies to me that it might not be possible at all, but just in case anybody here knows of some other mod that can make it happen I felt the need to ask. My relationship status with everyone in the epilogue camp was definitely still at 'lovers', so I didn't completely miss out on my happy endings, but I really want to see those scenes from the dock to the epilogue as my own Tav if I can.
Thanks for reading this, and I appreciate any replies. This mod is a great service to all of us who love this game, and the creators have my full gratitude for making and maintaining it.
Hey guys, I don't know if this has been adressed already, but there are +2500 comments, so you'd understand. I think I installed the mod correctly, bc the mod manager in-game recognizes it, but I installed the spanish translation of it and that doesn't activate in the mod manager... I don't know if that's normal or if I did something wrong there. If anyone could help me I would really apreciate it
Hello, thank you for the excellent mod. It worked flawlessly on Patch 7 and I have a question about Patch 8.
Karlach's romance wiki states a bug that makes it only possible to start it at the tiefling party. Does anyone know if this is a Patch 8 specific bug, and whether this mod fixes that?
Because I believe Wyll's romance also require you to go to him at the tiefling party, and I want to do both.
This isn't a Patch 8 specific issue, but this mod allows you to more easily start the romance with both of them at the tiefling party while in the dating stage with other companions. You can only start flirting with Wyll as of the party (he doesn't really have a dating stage), whereas the party is where you move Karlach's relationship into the dating stage. But if you're only romancing those two companions, this mod won't make a difference until you are partnered with one of them, then this mod will keep the other from breaking up with you because of it.
