Impact of Baldur’s Gate 3 Mods on Game Achievements

Baldur’s Gate 3 mods are now accessible for both PC and console players, thanks to the game’s seventh major patch. However, it’s important to note that installing these mods can potentially interfere with your achievements.

Achievements play a significant role in Baldur’s Gate 3, with numerous achievements available, some of which are quite niche, making the pursuit of 100% completion an impressive feat. Yet, if you engage with mods during your gameplay, you might jeopardize your chances of reaching that coveted completionist status.

With BG3’s seventh patch finally on consoles, many players are eager to explore the diverse range of mods and adventures available. Just remember to consider the impact these mods may have on your achievements.

Do Baldur’s Gate 3 mods disable achievements?

Indeed, mods can disable your achievements in Baldur’s Gate 3. If your goal is to achieve 100% completion, you will need to uninstall any mods that you have added.

Interestingly, not all mods will have this effect. Some may function without triggering the achievement block. The best way to determine this is by checking the launcher. If it indicates a “data mismatch,” then that particular mod will disable your achievements during your playthrough.

Mod blocker workaround

If you’re reluctant to part with your mods, there’s a workaround available. A mod called Achievement Enabler, created by dukethedropkicker on Nexus Mods, allows players to enable those achievements that are usually blocked. It’s important to note that while this won’t allow you to obtain achievements missed during mod use, it will enable any achievements going forward.

Keep in mind that since this mod is not officially endorsed, it’s best to proceed with caution, especially now that both Console and PC versions have access to the official modding services.
