Disclaimer Check the articles here (detailed description) and here (mod support).
This description contains most information but doesn't go too deep in technicalities, and is also made of pictures which may not be recognized by screen reading.
It serves mostly as advertising. It is far easier to navigate and search stuff in the article. The article will also be more easily kept updated, so more accurate over time.
For urgent questions and troubleshooting, preferably use the mod's thread on Larian's Discord server, under bg3-mods-releases. I will be more responsive there.
