Larian Studios will finally introduce official modding support for Baldur's Gate 3 in Patch Seven, scheduled for September, provided the upcoming alpha and closed beta tests for the feature go smoothly.

Official modding support has been one of the most requested features since BG3 first hit PC back in August of last year. While players can download and install some of the best BG3 mods from sites like NexusMods, they are not officially supported by Larian. As a result, several official patches (such as the infamous Patch Four) have broken or corrupted the game.

This divide between BG3 modders and Larian should now disappear, however, as an official Baldur's Gate 3 modding toolkit is currently in alpha testing in preparation for the anticipated release of Patch Seven (courtesy of Eurogamer).

In an official post on Steam on June 3, the devs revealed that Patch Seven, which includes the official modding toolkit, has been split into two testing phases: an alpha phase, which has already begun, and a closed beta. In the alpha phase, select mod developers have been given access to BG3’s toolkit to bring their existing mods to life, and more will be invited to test the toolkit. In July, up to 1,000 players will be able to sign up for the closed beta to test these mods to ensure that they can be implemented into BG3 and function properly.
