Have any of you wonderful people gotten mods to work with Lampray on the steamdeck?

Ive gotten it compiled and configured, got the error "a story could not be built with your add-ons" so I resolved the issue. Now the game loads but I dont get the Larian prompt saying I have mods installed. Causes me to believe the mods are not actually getting loaded.

Mods are in the mods folder, modsettings file was built correctly by Lampray. Load order is correct. Should I be getting the Larian mismatch prompt if the mods are working?

Also isnt Generated folder mods just meant to be pasted to the Data folder and just work? The internal file pathing ia correct, Generated > Public, etc... Tested with both the datamined Shadowheart face change and the Smooth Githyanki mod, both simple Generated file copy/paste mods.

I'll be happy when explicit mod supported is added for the simplicity on the Deck.

Also, I use Nexus as little possible anymore. Perused BG3 mods a little. Holy hell its like a tumblr ****** dress up in there. Giving all the female characters dicks apparently isnt erasing women, but making ****** there biological sex is erasing LGBTQIAN? Trying their damnedest to prove the Religious Right that they were indeed right about slopes being slippery.

None of the NA mods go in Data folder.
If you are manually unzipping the files,
All the .pak files should be in AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods
@loregamer You using steamdecks. Is this correct?

Sometimes, but I stream BG3 from my PC to my deck.

Correct. I have not placed any pak files anywhere. I dragged the zips to Lampray and Lampray deployed them to the mods folder.

I placed the Generated folder contain textures for Shadowheart in /Data. That's all the manual copying I've done.

Ive done plenty of modding before, and BG3 modding seems similar valheim meaning much more bootstrapped.

I undertand pak files are like compressed data, and go in the mods folder. Lampray handles this.

Loose files typically go in Data/Generated. Manual copy/paste ensuring directory paths to the files is correct.

The modseetings.lsx file is basically the mod list and load order for mods that get bootstrapped into the game. Lampray updates this.

Mod fixer allows the "injection" of pak files at loading tje game. I put this at the bottom of my load order in Lampray.

I'll try with Lampray on my Manjaro desktop first then try on my Steamdeck again. Odds are if I get it working there I can literally just copy the files/folders over.

Does Larian indeed generated a prompt notifiying you that mods are active when you load a save? You dont have to go into any detail walking me through it. Like most things, its probably some small step or less documented issue that I can't see for the trees.

No you don't get any notifications. Only if you saved with mod then removed the mod. You will get a notification that a mod is missing.

I'm still not sure why Lampray didnt seem to work as intended. I ended up installing BG3MM alongside Lampray and use Lampray to import mods without manually doing anything in the games mod folder, then managing and exporting them with BG3MM and everything seems to be working.

Gold weighs nothing, multiple face replacers, and ImprovedUI are working so I'm assuming NoAlpha is working too. Just have to start playing again to get to some ****** and see if it is working. Its wild his masculine Suadoehearts Full Release face is.

Thanks for putting up with me being a nuisance lol.
