About this mod
This mod is simple; it halves XP requirements for all levelling up. For example to go from level 1 to 2 is now 150xp rather than 300xp. I saw there was an existing mod but it no longer worked.
This works from level 1-12. It works on a new game or on a saved one, but see notes below about potential pitfalls.

For a second playthrough of the game I wanted to get to the good parts of my build quicker and so wanted a mod to allow quicker levelling. There were a couple on Nexus but they didn't seem to function anymore. So with the assistance of a much more competent person on Reddit I was able to make this mod.
To make this work you will need the following:
https://github.com/LaughingLeader/BG3ModManager <- Mod manager
https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/627 <- Mod manager fix
Import my mod to the manager and make sure it is active (left panel). Ensure the mod manager fix is in place.
Run the game. It should complain on the Larian launcher about mods being active. When you run the game a command prompt will open and move files around. That is the mod manager fix.
This mod is best done with a new game. As soon as you start on the Nautiloid go into your inventory and you should see you only need 150xp to progress to level 2.
If you do run this on a save game it's best to do so at the start of a level, especially for your avatar. If you do it over halfway to the next level you might get a negative XP requirement and you need to remove the party member and re-add them and it'll trigger them to level up. If your character is showing negative XP, you should be able to earn your level up by simply gaining some XP which should trigger it to come out of negative.
This is the relevant amounts of XP per level required:
One thing to note is that because this doesn't change the XP granted so whilst it takes half as much to level up you'll also earn less as you get above the 'regular' progression so progress will be much faster but not twice as fast.
If desired I can make a super version so you can get your Tav to level 12 by the time they step on the ravaged beach.
This is obviously a cheat, so be aware this will make things much easier.
EDIT:
As a note as far as progress goes, by the time I reached the Creche after doing 90% of stuff in act 1 I have reached level 8.
It's pretty close to but not exactly double.
So consider that as you download.
EDIT 2:
By near the end of act 2 I am part way through level 11. So you will be level 12 quite early in act 3. I skipped a fair few things in Act 2 as well.
