New patches usually bring issues along with the update, and Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 7 is no exception. The Mod Manager was one of the biggest additions in the patch, but some players are reporting that it’s currently not working.
Baldur’s Gate 3 Mod Manager Fix
There are two solutions that you can try to get the Baldur’s Gate 3 mod manager working again, and the first one is to install ModBrowser as a mod itself. You can find it in the mod manager, and if it doesn’t appear, make sure you have the latest version of the mod manager installed.
If this doesn’t work for you, follow these steps to try to make it work:
- Clear the load order in the module manager.
- Delete your mods folder.
- Delete the mod.lsx settings deposit.
- Start the game.
- If the game launches successfully, delete the newly generated modsettings.lsx file.
- Restart the mod manager.
- Hang out Mod Browser from left to right (active to inactive mods)
- Click on “Save Order”.
Once you’ve followed these steps, make sure to relaunch the game to see if it works properly. If you’re having trouble finding the modsettings file, you can usually find it in AppData > Local > Larian Studios > Baldur’s Gate 3 > PlayerProfiles > Public.
The location of these folders will vary from drive to drive depending on where you installed BG3. Remember save your mods before doing this as well, so if it works for you you can reinstall them easily.
This method, however, did not work for everyone. Fortunately, Larian lets players roll back to patch 6 while waiting for fixes from mod authors and developers. This solution works consistently and allows you to play with your previously installed mods, but you will just have to wait a bit before you can play patch 7.
How to roll back to Baldur’s Gate 3 patch 6
Reverting to patch 6 is a simple matter of enter game properties on steam and change the version you are currently playing on. Step by step, here is how to do it:

- Right click on Baldur’s Gate 3 on Steam.
- Select “Properties” and a context menu should appear.
- Go to the “Betas” tab in this menu.
- Open the drop-down menu under Beta Participation.
- Select “release_patch6_hf9”.
The beta for Patch 7 was released in July, and Larian has been working with various mod authors to optimize the game’s new mod toolkit, so you shouldn’t have to wait too long for your favorite mods to start working again.
This is unfortunately not a solution for console players, as it can only work on PC. Mods are not yet available for consoles, but Larian has promised in the patch notes that this will become a reality in the near future.
