Introduction: Mods Round‑Up: From Divine Robes to Dragonborn Gear
If you're diving back into Baldur’s Gate 3 on console, now is the perfect time. A massive wave of new mods has just landed, giving players more options than ever to customize their characters, reshape the game's atmosphere, and add brand-new mechanics. From custom outfits and detailed armor sets to dynamic night and day modes and even expanded facial presets, this update offers a fresh take on gameplay—especially for console users who often wait longer for mod access.
In this guide, we’ll walk through the standout additions, including highly requested features like BG3 night mode, Dragonborn customization, and unique creations by well-known modders like Scurby and Moon Blossom. Whether you're planning a new playthrough or just want to spice up your current one, these console-ready mods are worth your attention.
Act-Day & Night Modes: Visual Overhaul for Story Immersion
Console players can now explore the Shadow-Cursed Lands in full daylight, thanks to the Act Day Mode mod. This changes the notoriously dark and atmospheric area into a well-lit zone, offering a different take on an otherwise grim part of the story. It’s ideal for players who want visual clarity or are revisiting the region for a second run.
In contrast, the Act Three Night Mode brings a moody, darker tone to the final chapter of the game. It also updates the title screen and changes the look of your camp when loading a save file. Pair this with the Better Torch Mod for improved visibility in darker zones. This mod boosts torch performance, helping players navigate without frustrating visibility issues.
Lady of the Night & Divine Sister Robes: New Outfits for Unique Playthroughs
Among the most talked-about outfit mods is the Lady of the Night set by Moon Blossom. Originally released just a month ago, it's now fully compatible with consoles. This mod adds stylish, gothic-themed armor perfect for Shadowheart or a darker character build. The armor not only looks sleek but includes functional gear with +13 AC, necrotic damage, and shadow teleportation boots—ideal for Sorcerer or Cleric runs.
Another fan-favorite is the Divine Sister Robe by Scurby. This elegant dress fits seamlessly into the world of Baldur’s Gate 3, offering aesthetic variety with compatibility across different dye mods. You can customize the entire party’s look using various color schemes, making this mod one of the more flexible cosmetic options currently available for console players.
Arcane Caster Gear & Automaton Summons: Loadouts for Artificer Builds
Players who enjoy tactical combat and clever gear combinations will appreciate the Arcane Caster set from Scurby. Designed with artificer-style gameplay in mind, this mod includes a pair of pistols, a helmet, gloves, and armor inspired by the game’s ballista design. The pistols deal additional force damage and feature unique weapon skills, offering new mechanics to experiment with in battle.
An additional highlight is the automaton summon, a 51-HP construct that can unleash lightning-based attacks. It's essentially your own version of Bernard and fits well with any mechanically inclined or tech-themed build. While some effects might feel overpowered, you can toggle them off for a more balanced experience.
Death Archer Set: Customizable Gear for Stealth and Style
The Death Archer mod, also from Scurby, provides a full armor set tailored for stealthy or rogue-style characters. The gear is fully dyeable and includes a distinctive hooded option that doesn’t strip your character of their hair—solving a common complaint in BG3’s base game hoods. It blends both function and flair, perfect for players interested in immersive roleplaying.
Weapon-wise, the set includes a skeleton-themed sword, a bow adorned with a skull motif, and wrist-mounted crossbows. These crossbows give off a stylish “hidden blade” vibe, great for players seeking a Batman or assassin aesthetic in their builds.
New Head Presets & Facial Mods: More Character Customization
Console players now have access to expanded character customization thanks to several new BG3 face mods. The Akira Head Preset, created by Gwen and ported by Eclipse, features a smooth-skin look that holds up well during character animations and dialogue scenes. It works across multiple races and genders, providing a more polished visual feel for your protagonist.
Additionally, the Tasha’s Cauldron of Faces mod dramatically expands face options across different body types and races. With 18 new face presets for elf body type one alone and many more for other races, this mod delivers a huge variety of looks. Some presets even include vampire bite details, ideal for themed runs inspired by characters like Astarion. It’s recommended to preview these in character creation and uninstall unused ones to keep your game optimized.
Dragonborn Mods: Gear, Body Types, and Glowing Tattoos
Dragonborn fans are in for a treat with three new mods released by Aelk. First, the Crystal Crown adds an icy-themed headpiece that visually complements frosty spell builds. It’s great for runs focusing on cold damage or ice-themed aesthetics.
More impressively, the Claw Step Dragonborn Female Body mod reworks over 500 vanilla armor pieces to properly fit a newly designed Dragonborn body type. With 58 unique footwear pieces and 66 variants, this mod brings greater representation and gear options to Dragonborn players. Complementing this is the Glow Ink Body Tattoo mod, which adds subtle glowing body art that works beautifully for magical builds.
Together, these Dragonborn mods transform the customization potential for one of BG3’s most distinctive races.
Astral Hair Colors: Expanded Palette for Character Builds
For players looking to push visual creativity further, the Astral Hair Color Supplement introduces a wide range of new shades. These colors are less flashy than the “crazy colors pack” from Aelk but still provide vibrant and tasteful options that suit a variety of character themes. Whether you’re aiming for a bold new look or a subtle tweak, more hair color choices always help broaden the customization landscape.
These additions support all races and genders and work well alongside most existing visual mods. It’s a minor touch, but one that significantly impacts visual uniqueness during your playthrough.
New Spell Scrolls, Animations & Utility Mods
Magic-focused players can now enjoy over 135 new scrolls thanks to the Mistress Scrolls mod by Random Killer. These scrolls are fully integrated into the game’s loot system and can be purchased or found naturally during exploration. Wizards can add them to their spellbooks for expanded casting options, with specific NPCs like Ethyl now guaranteed to drop certain scrolls.
The update also introduces new combat and class animations via the Mindw Weaver Animation Pack by ZX10RX. These animations enhance gameplay for classes like Four Elements Monk and Aetheric Strider, adding style and variety to battles. While not all animations are tied to console classes yet, this mod paves the way for deeper customization.
Other handy utility mods include:
-
Eternal Lockpick: A tool inspired by Oblivion’s skeleton key—permanent and unbreakable.
-
Summon Tutorial Chest: Lets you call in the tutorial loot chest at any point.
-
Cheater Spell Scrolls & Rings: Options to enable cheats or test builds without the grind.
Conclusion

From visual overhauls like Act Night and Day Modes to detailed armor sets like Divine Sister Robes and Death Archer gear, this release packs variety, function, and aesthetics into one major update.
The addition of face presets, Dragonborn body mods, unique spells, and utility tools also brings a fresh layer of personalization to console players. With many of these mods originally PC-exclusive, it's exciting to see them arrive on console with such care and compatibility.
