Mods and Addons are an important part of Baldur’s Gate 3. They enhance the experience of many players who want to add custom elements to their games. Since Baldur’s Gate itself is modeled on DnD, it only makes sense that the game allows you to mod and play it your way, with your story and with your rules. This is all made possible by a third-party software tool called Script Extender. This is a tool that has recently failed for many users, and players are currently left waiting for a fix. So, if you too are dealing with a similar situation, consider reading this guide for more details.
The Script Extended makes it possible to integrate mods and other addons into BG3. This means that without it running, modding and add-ons are almost not supported. Since this is third-party software, the developers cannot directly do anything to solve this issue. All efforts will have to come from the user end or from the developers of Script Extender themselves.

Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3) Script Extender Update Failed Error: Is there any fix yet?
Thus far, all fixes to this issue have been mere workarounds by the community. There has been no confirmed fix that deals with this issue as of now. So, while we await one, try the following workarounds:
1). Update the game.
Make sure you are running the latest version of BG3. The latest version often has the best compatibility with Script Extender, and this is the best version of the game to host mods and other addons on. If this is not the case, make sure to update to the latest version of the game immediately.
2). Update Script Extender.
It is possible that Script Extender itself has not been updated to its latest version. If this is the case, your best bet is to download the most recent version. Since most mods and addons will be compatible with the latest version of Script Extender, this might solve your issue entirely.
3). Check Mod Compatibility.
If your game and Script Extender are on their latest versions, you will have to individually look at the mods that are failing and check their compatibility. It is possible that the mods themselves are not compatible with the latest version of Script Extender, and this is what is causing the issue. If that is the case, you might want to wait for the mods to be updated and become compatible or stop using them for the time being.
4). Reinstall Script Extender.
Reinstalling Script Extender is another effective workaround you can try (along with reinstalling the mods and add-ons option). If that does not work for you, you cannot use mods or addons until there is another update or a rollback by the developers of either the game or Script Extender. In this case, you will be forced to wait for a fix from an official source.
5). Verify game files.
It is possible there is an error with the files in your game that is causing Script Extender to stop working. This can be solved by verifying your game files. To do this,
- Head over to the Steam library, and right-click on BG3.
- Now, click on Properties and then go to the Installed Files tab.
- Here, you will find an option for Verifying the integrity of game files. Click on it.
This option will check every game file, delete the corrupted ones, and reinstall them. This might also solve your issue.
6). Contact Support.
If none of these solutions works for you, your best options are to wait or contact support. They can look at your issue and offer more personalized solutions to those issues and solve them.
