Which mod manager should I use for Baldur's Gate 3?

Direct answer: BG3 Mod Manager (BG3MM) is the mod manager you should use for Baldur’s Gate 3. It’s a dedicated BG3 tool created by LaughingLeader and hosted on GitHub as the BG3 Mod Manager, designed to organize your mod load order and export it to the game’s modsettings.lsx file. The project page highlights the drag-and-drop load order and the export workflow, and the latest release was updated as recently as May 18, 2025. If you’re already using Nexus Mods tools for other games, you can also opt for Vortex, but BG3MM remains the BG3-focused option most players rely on.

Nexus’ own installation guide for BG3 mods explicitly mentions BG3 Mod Manager as the recommended manager for Baldur’s Gate 3, underscoring its strong BG3-centric workflow (drag-and-drop ordering, export to modsettings.lsx). The guide also notes that you can still use a generic manager like Vortex if you prefer, but BG3MM is the smoother BG3-first option.

Context: In September 2024, Patch 7 added official in-game mod support via mod.io, enabling players to browse, download, and manage mods inside Baldur’s Gate 3 itself. That doesn’t negate the usefulness of external BG3-specific managers for pre-sorting, but it does give you multiple avenues for modding. Many guides and reports note BG3 Mod Manager as a core part of a BG3 modding workflow, which you can pair with in-game mod management if you like.
