If you just want to use the mod with default settings: Skip all of this
Enabling the Script Extender Console:
* This article doesn't cover installation of the Script Extender
* If you can't figure out how to install it, just use BG3 Mod Manager ( [Link] ) and do 'Download & Extract the Script Extender' from its tools menu at the top.
Enabling the Script Extender Console:
If the 'ScriptExtenderSettings.json' file doesn't already exist in your BG3 bin folder, create a file with that name (exactly - NOT 'ScriptExtenderSettings.json.txt') and put these contents in it:{
"CreateConsole": true
}
If the 'ScriptExtenderSettings.json' file already exists in your BG3 bin folder, add this line. Note that if you get the commas between lines wrong (too few or too many), the file will not load."CreateConsole": true,
Using the Script Extender Console:
* If you've done the above steps correctly, a 2nd window should start with BG3 when you run it.
* This 2nd window will look kind of like a command prompt
* While the game is running, you can switch focus to this 2nd window and press return on your keyboard to enter the Lua Console input mode
* You can enter commands into this console now

{
"CreateConsole": true
}
as instructed but there's no second window. What am I doing wrong?
{
CreateConsole true
}
?
I made the Script Extender folder but i dont know what to put that code into
Open up File Explorer then View->Show-> File Name Extensions
Right Click Desktop-> New -> Text Document
Open up the new document with notepad (should be automatic on double click)
Paste:
{
"CreateConsole": true
}
Save file and close
Right Click file --> Show more options -> Rename (You might not need to click show more options on windows 10)
Paste file name:
ScriptExtenderSettings.json
Windows will ask you something like if your sure you want to change the extension
Click Yes
For GOG move it to the bin folder where the game is installed - I am guessing Steam is similar.
This worked like a charm!
No need to use free file converters or any other ad revenue generators lol
You don't have to make the json file, mod manager will do it for you.
Settings>Open Preferences>Script Extender> Then check the create console box and click save!
Worked better going through Mod Manager. Like people were mentioning, creating the file yourself results in a double file format.
"Failed to load configuration file 'ScriptExtenderSettings.json':
* Line 1, Column 1
Syntax error: value, object or array expected"
I mean OBVIOUSLY it is supposed to be "Recipe's" not "Recipe's.txt"
While i'm trying to do it i get launcher error bout mods
nevermind, find out
EDIT: Ignore that pop out and press play in launcher.
Game will load up and everything will be fine
