If you encounter problems look it up in the FAQ first. if you don't have problems just ignore the following wall of text. Yes, There will be a mod.io version, stay tuned.
FAQ - If you encounter a strange problem, consider sending me a copy of your save file. Locate your save file and mods, Pack them into a zip file, Upload to eg Dropbox or Pixeldrain, and PM me with the link (and a desription of your problems). This helps me enormously in solving your problem. - My companions broke up with me in A3! Read the front page again. If you go to a3 without unlocking the kissing menu, then you will be dumped by that companion. To avoid this, LONG REST UNTIL YOU DO NOT GET ANY SCENES BEFORE YOU GO INTO THE POOL TO SHADOWFELL. - Ending?It is said that that you will get all the cutscenes one after another. Provided you finished all their quests. Note: at the ending the following story events will cause relationships to end.

Gale becoming god/Laezel leaves Faerun: Ends relationship with them As Laezel, leave Faerun: ends relatinship with EVERYONE. Accompany Karlach to Avernus: this will end relationship with EVERYONE
Known problem: Breaking up with companions in the dialog before the Epilogue will be voided. This includes companion breaking up with you (eg Astarion/Halsin-Illithid interacton), as well as you breaking up with them (who even does that???) - Should I update the mod? Always update the mod. PS it is safe to remove or update at any time of the playthrough. - Can I upgrade/uninstall/install mid game? Yes. Note: when you upgrade this mod, do not load a save that is in the middle of a conversation. If you are not upgrading then load whatever save you wish. - If something does not work as expected: check your installation first. ESPECIALLY if you are getting the "I am mad and will dump you IF you do not dump xxx immediately" dialog, check your installation first. Check if you have the spell this mod has in your prepare spell panel. - Help! I cannot type in the console: Hit enter to get a prompt? - Vortex: If you have problems installing manually, or with bg3mm get a vortex to install this mod. don't install as replacer. Remember to deploy your mod settings. You should then see a file called "__folder_managed_by_vortex" under Baldurs Gate 3\Data\Mods\NoRomanceLimit. - Tiefling/Raider Party: at the party you must not try to pick up multiple people because you can only go to one . The rest who got NoShowed may permanently close their romance with you. - 请注意，由于script extender会在你打开游戏的时候去github上下载内容，所以国内开游戏的时候也可能需要魔法上网。 - Does this work with Minthara recruit mods? Yes. (Note the current implementation is a work around: you can only be "Partnered" with her and dating will transition to Partnered immediately. But you are not missing out on anything as Larian implemented nothing for her.) - Console? Console is not needed due to the spell. The spell is added after installing the mod. You can also use the spell as an indicator. It shows up => everything is fine.
What works? As the mod is rewritten, there is no problem with the "chill"/"serious" sequencing anymore. Romancing should work in any order, regardless of having a "serious partner" or not. Note: when you enter a3, all dating (i.e. chill) relationships will be closed permanently. Serious relationships will not close. This is in the vanilla game and it makes sense. Stop asking about it. Note: it is suggested that at the a1 party you agree to only one person that you will spend the night with them and show up. Do not say you will go to someone and then not show up.
What doesn't work: Multiplayer is not supported (and possibly no longer will be). You can still try to use it in MP, the Host should be able to romance multiple toons, but if strange things happen I will most probably not fix it.
How to delete the old version of this mod? Delete the following directories: Baldurs Gate 3\Data\Mods\GustavDev\ScriptExtender Baldurs Gate 3\Data\Mods\GustavDev\Story\Dialogs Baldurs Gate 3\Data\Mods\GustavDev\Story\DialogsBinary Baldurs Gate 3\Data\Mods\Gustav\Story
Here is a detailed explanation on Halsin from Caeliat. Alternatively, use the option "Consider me and xx ended".
For the record, for people wanting to romance Halsin who have multiple partner flags active with other people, you don't have to do anything about it, no need to temporarily flip flags on the others because he has no Dating flag, he progresses directly to Partner. As long as when he mentions he needs consent from your partner you pick someone who, in vanilla, is already fine with polyamory (like Shadowheart or Astarion) to go talk to, everything progresses as expected and his relationship is not blocked by pre-existing partner states. In short, if you want to eventually add Halsin to the polycule, you don't need to delay the act 2 cutscenes from others. He only makes a move in act 3 anyway, get some good times in act 2 where you can find them
A small word regarding Vortex: vortex is really good at managing mods that are packaged as loose files that are mean to replace the original game files (AKA replacers), as in lots of visuals mods. So say no to drag and dropping and try using vortex to manage those drag and drop mods. ThePavaoKapow suggested a solution for console troubles:
For anyone having issues not being able to type into the console, it seems to be an issue with launching the game through Vortex. As someone who also uses vortex, a fix that worked for me was just launching the game through steam. I was able to type into the console after this and set flags, etc. Hopefully this works for you.

V9.1 minor features Halsin scene will trigger anyway if you choose "I will talk to my partner" and long rest immediately. Add some spells for toggling and seeing romance status, so console is not needed anymore. Because of the new added spells do not work too well with loose files, the loose files version is no longer provided. Use vortex to install the pak with LSLib. Known issue: when using the spell on some companions an error is thrown in the console. This does not affect gameplay so I will just fix it with the next version, if there is one V9.03 bugfix fix not being able to break up with companions in dialogs/romance scenes.

Hello, i've read some comments mentioning this mod works for patch 8, anyone who has already tried it in patch 8 can confirm? I'd be thankful for some feedback as this was a major mod in my modlist.
The spell was not appearing for me until I updated my BG3 Mod Toolkit. If Steam doesn't automatically update the Toolkit, you can manually force it by right-clicking the game in your library, then going to Properties > DLC, then unchecking/rechecking the box next to the BG3 Toolkit Data. This should force the game to redownload the updated Gustav files.
It seems like the mod is working properly for me now, though I haven't fully tested it, so ymmv. Hope it works for others!
"If Steam doesn't automatically update the Toolkit, you can manually force it by right-clicking the game in your library, then going to Properties > DLC, then unchecking/rechecking the box next to the BG3 Toolkit Data."
I've tried going through the library directly in Steam and then going through the installed files, but neither have the 'BG3 Toolkit Data' you mention. I'm a PC player on Windows 11. Did I miss something?
Good day! First of all, thank you very much for making this mod.
It's my first time trying it out and while the existing save file loads without issues, I don't see any spell or action on my bars or on the spell page. Can you advise me on what to do in order to get the action(s) to appear?
- Using BG3MM, with SE v21 (your mod is currently #0) - Only using four (4) other mods, all clothing and dye related - Current campaign is in Act 1, before the tiefling party - Tested with an actual save file, not a quicksave - This may be relevant but for the first time, I'm seeing a different "Press Any Key to Continue" login screen (animated, showing the beach, no longer showing Bhaalist entrance) - Tried firing up a new campaign to test, still no new spell or action
I would greatly appreciate any support. Thank you again!
EDIT: I just shifted the mod order and put your mod at the bottom of the list, and I see the added spell now. Will update if anything is amiss. Thank you!
Hello! Just wanted to pop in and thank you. I loaded my usual save file expecting my usual mods including yours to not work for Patch 8 and trim one by one. So far no issues. Thank you!
That is because it's for advanced users. People who know how to use the Script Extender Console.
In BG3MM: Settings -> Preferences -> Script Extender tab
Click "Create Console"
Start the game
Once all the crap has loaded, hit "Enter"
Follow the author's instructions on the Descriptions page
I have a whole-ass document with all this stuff in it. But the mod handles all of that stuff. The code is only if you are not wanting to actually install the mod and want to flip stuff on and off yourself (like removing the look of Volo's eye or removing the ugly Illithid look)
Damn, ignore my reply. I could have sworn this mod had spells:
Dating
Relationship
Not Dating
I just re-downloaded it to test something and I cannot find the spells.
I was looking in the wrong place. I have it at the end of my load order and when you load the game, it will be in Common and will look like a Charm Person spell with a plus sign in the upper left.
This doesn't work on the patch 8 playtest. For shame. After all of the effort I went to get the patch 8 playtest link, I can't play with my favorite mods active. Guess I'll wait until the official patch comes out.
When it comes to big updates, a lot of mods break and you need to wait for them to get updated. So if you're wanting to play with specific mods you may have to wait awhile after patch 8 drops, since a lot of mods didn't work for the playtest.

I'm not sure if I've done something incorrect (I installed with Vortex and the spells are showing up, so I think that the mod's installed). At the victory after the grove, I was asked who to meet - I chose Karlach - and I thought the scenes would all playout back to back. Should I have set the relationship status to 'Dating' with the other characters before triggering that Longrest? Thank you!
You don't meet everyone back to back at the tiefling party. Some scenes can trigger before the tiefling party and maybe after? and depending on who you choose to meet at the tiefling party.
For example- I go for Astarion and Gale first 2 acts. Astarion's scene can happen before the tiefling party, same with Gale's cutscene happening before the party. But I can't choose both of them at the party. I don't know how it works for other characters as I usually only go for Astarion, Gale, and Halsin.
Ok, so.... Tiefling party... Can only go with one person.... can I just say how bad I feel about it? ;__; Also, I talked to Astarion and said I would meet him, I talked to Shadowheart after and she was like "i see things are happening with you and Astarion...." And I'm like... I see your pinned comment about the tiefling party thing? Even as poly mod, since I can't pick to meet everyone after party, maybe I can't date everyone anyways? :c reeee
