About this mod

Highlights (almost) everything when ALT is pressed.

Will deliberately not highlight things such as: purely decorative items, empty containers and containers with useless junk (spoiled food, junk clothing, empty bottles, bones, etc.)

Compatible with the release version Patch #2 and Patch #2 Hotfix #1.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
This mod makes it so that (almost) everything will be highlighted when you hold ALT.

Will deliberately not highlight things such as: purely decorative items, empty containers and containers with useless junk (spoiled food, junk clothing, empty bottles, bones, etc.) This is done on a best-effort basis and isn't always guaranteed, so please do not report places where useless containers still get highlighted.

Why use this mod over the alternatives? None of the other "highlight everything" mods has all of these:

  • Doesn't modify a ton of unnecessary files.
  • Doesn't add tooltips to items with no name.
  • Covers all of the items, not only root templates.
  • Tries to not add tooltips to some of the completely useless junk (e.g. some of the barrels with spoiled food, etc.), reducing clutter.
  • Properly incorporates updates from game patches. (Using a highlight all mod which doesn't properly account for game patches or is based on an older patch will revert all items to their pre patch state!)

Installation

Probably requires the Mod Fixer. IF YOU'RE HAVING PROBLEMS INSTALL THE MOD FIXER.

Recommended installation method: Manual install.

It looks like some people who use a mod manager tend to have problems like not being able to make dice rolls or not being able to interact with NPCs.

Copy the .pak file to the "Mods" folder (on Linux it's in "~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1086940/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local Settings/Application Data/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3/Mods", on Windows/Mac I have no idea; google it) and then copy-paste this into your "modsettings.lsx" (it's in "PlayerProfiles/*/'):
