    I am working on a Patch 7 version that removes the mod fixer and works with the official mod manager as well. This will take time, as I'm rebuilding the entire mod in the toolkit. Please be patient!

    The mod is now updated for Patch 7!

    Does this work with Patch 8? Been combing through my mods trying to figure out which work and which don't - huge list - but I'm not seeing any mention of that here in the comment section.

      I've tested on Patch 8 and it appears to work fine. Let me know if you see issues.

      The mod seems to work on Patch 8 mechanic wise, but the icons for the backgrounds are not showing up.

    Apologies if this was mentioned somewhere and I just missed it, but does the additional backgrounds replace the vanilla ones or can you have multiples? For example I usually play Durge but would love to have more than 1 background, a life before my urges manifested as well as the Haunted One after they took hold.

      These are extra options for background, not giving you the benefits of more than one.

    Icons are missing and I REALLY want them. Any clue why?

    I haven't downloaded the mod but I am curious. Did you add any special effects to some of the backgrounds or are they more a cosmetic thing for RP purposes?

    Like for example how the Wildspacer gets "Tough" feat. Did you add anything for Wildspacer that creates a similar effect?

    Is their any chance you can include the feats which come with the Spelljammer Backgrounds? And thank you for the fantastic mod.

      The Spelljammer backgrounds offer Feats that require choices, or a choice of Feats, neither of which I can replicate in BG3.

    Is it possible to add a Origin feat choice to be in par with the other BGs?

      Anything with choices cannot be added to backgrounds. I could theoretically add static Feats, but there's no way to account for things like Magic Initiate. Regardless, this mod was made to represent base 5e. If I could easily create backgrounds that gave Origin feats I would have done it as soon as the new rules released, because I do very much like those rules. Unfortunately, BG3 isn't very flexible on what backgrounds can give you.

    is there an option that represents Dragon Cultists? I only see Dragon Casualty.

      Not really. I only added official and semi-official backgrounds. If it's not in that list, it doesn't exist in official 5e.

    Hey I saw a community inspiration framework that being worked on maybe if you are still active on this mod maybe they can help you

      I've looked at that but it doesn't do what I need it to do. The toolkit would let me add inspiration, but it's a loooooong process to do it for all the backgrounds I have.

    Hey, so someone has figured out how to easily implement custom background goals, maybe you could take a peek!

      Yo, thanks for sharing my guide.
      Don't forget that if you want to incorporate 30-40 goals per background for a mod with more than 50 backgrounds, it's literally hell.
      It's very alienating !

    Will this mod be available on the official Baldur Gate III mod selection or is it a bit complicated?

      I would put it on there, but I can't figure out how to make ImprovedUI a prereq without editing the pak file after the fact (and Mod.io doesn't let you manually upload for BG3). If anyone knows how, feel free to let me know.
