Baldur’s Gate 3 is a challenging RPG, but sometimes players want to play their own way—faster progress, stronger characters, or just skipping the boring parts. Mods make that possible. Some are just fun tweaks, but others go all-in and feel like you’re bending the whole game. This list looks at mods that feel like cheating—in the best way.
These aren’t your average convenience mods—each one pushes the game’s limits and lets you enjoy Faerûn in new, powerful ways.
How These Mods Were Ranked
We ranked each mod based on these three things:
- Power Boost – How much it makes you stronger or skips effort.
- Game Balance Impact – How much it changes how the game is normally played.
- Early Use – Whether you can use it from Act 1 or only later.
These mods are all about giving you more control and freedom—whether you’re exploring, testing, or just relaxing.
10. Achievement Enabler
This mod unlocks Steam achievements even when you use other mods that would normally turn them off.
Gameplay Impact: You can still earn achievements while using cheats or content mods. Some players may think that’s unfair, but others just want full credit for their fun run. It’s simple, doesn’t affect gameplay, and works quietly in the background.
9. Carry Weight Increased – Over 9000 Edition
No one likes constantly dropping gear. This mod boosts how much weight your characters can carry. You can go small or turn it up to insane levels.
Gameplay Impact: You won’t need to make tough choices about loot anymore. Keep everything you find, never worry about being slowed down, and forget trips back to camp. You’ll feel the freedom right away.
8. Feat Every Level
Normally, characters only get feats at levels 4, 8, and 12. This mod gives you one at every level-up, letting you stack powerful bonuses fast.
Gameplay Impact: It completely changes how characters grow. You can mix and match feats like Great Weapon Master, Lucky, and Alert in ways you normally can’t. By the time you hit Act 2, your build might already feel finished—and unstoppable.
7. XP Multiplier / Instant Level Mods
Want to level up faster or skip the grind? These mods give you more XP from every fight or let you jump straight to a high level.
Gameplay Impact: You can hit the level cap early and steamroll through most enemies. It’s great for replays or testing builds fast. For players who want a bit more challenge, a 2× multiplier feels balanced and still gives you that edge.
6. Gold on Load
This mod gives you gold every time you load your save. You choose how much—100 gold or 200,000.
Gameplay Impact: It removes all money worries. You’ll always be able to buy gear, bribe NPCs, or respec characters. It’s like having a magical ATM.
Want even more gear freedom? The All Items Mod spawns a barrel at your camp filled with every weapon and armor in the game. No more shopping or grinding—just open and choose.
5. Basket Full of Equipment (OP Add-On)
The base mod gives you cool outfits and cosmetic gear. But the OP Add-On version fills the Tutorial Chest with top-tier gear, magic items, dyes, and even scrolls and rare weapons.
Gameplay Impact: You can outfit your team like endgame champions right from the start. It saves hours of searching, looting, and upgrading.
If you want access anytime, use the Tutorial Chest Summoning mod. It brings the chest to wherever you are with a single click. Combine this with Party Limit Begone for a full party setup right out of camp.
4. Party Limit Begone
BG3 normally limits you to 4 active party members. This mod removes that cap—you can bring up to 16 companions, or even all of them.
Gameplay Impact: Combat becomes way easier. You’ll have more spells, more healing, and more attacks every turn. Some cutscenes may glitch when too many characters are present, but reloading usually fixes it. It’s a game-changer for anyone who wants the whole crew in action.
3. Unlock Level Curve / Level 20 Mods
The game caps character level at 12, but this mod unlocks levels 13–20. You get more class features, better stats, and a bigger health pool.
Gameplay Impact: Even though BG3 doesn’t support all high-level spells, you still become much stronger. Fighters get more attacks, spellcasters get more slots, and everyone feels like a hero from a D&D legend.
2. Ultimate Cheat Spell Collection
This mod gives you a spellbook full of powerful cheat spells—like maxing approval, killing enemies instantly, skipping story flags, or making your party invincible.
Gameplay Impact: You can change almost anything with just a click. It’s like having a magic cheat menu inside the game. You can create wild moments or just breeze through trouble.
If you prefer something even easier, try EasyCheat with In-Game UI. It adds a simple menu so you don’t have to cast anything—just click and cheat. It works in multiplayer too.
1. God Hero by SFR
This mod gives your character a special ring that makes you nearly untouchable: full damage resistance, infinite health, and maxed-out stats.
Gameplay Impact: It’s true god mode. You can solo entire areas, shrug off any trap, and never worry about resting. It’s perfect for testing, silly fun, or just seeing what happens when nothing can stop you.
Just be careful: turning the ring off in the middle of a scripted scene can break things. Always save first.
Bonus Pick: Approval Cheat
Need a companion to like you more—or less? This mod gives you scrolls to raise or lower approval instantly.
Gameplay Impact: It’s great for unlocking romance paths or skipping social checks. No need to worry about picking the “right” dialogue every time.
Mod Installation Tips
Want to try these mods safely? Here’s what to do:
- Use BG3 Mod Manager or Vortex to install mods easily.
- Install BG3 Script Extender—many mods won’t work without it.
- Always back up your saves before adding mods.
- After each game update, check mod pages to make sure they’re still working.
Windows save path: C:/Users/[YourName]/AppData/Local/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3/PlayerProfiles/Public/Savegames/Story
Patch check: All mods listed here work with Patch 7 (June 2025), but always confirm on NexusMods first.
Mods like these give you full control over your Baldur’s Gate 3 experience. Whether you want to replay with no stress, test wild builds, or just have fun blowing things up, these tools make it possible.
Once you get used to fast leveling, endless money, or a full team of companions, it’s hard to go back. Just don’t forget: Faerûn’s still fun even without god mode.
