Repository contains no source code, only a README pointing to a third-party download that mirrors other mod-manager listing pages, so verify the source first.

In plain English

This repository hosts a README page advertising something called Limo Mod Manager, presented as a mod management tool for Baldur's Gate 3 on Windows. The page is built like a marketing landing page, with a single download button that points to an external site rather than a release on GitHub itself. No source code, build steps, or technical details about the program are shown. According to the README, the program is meant to handle .pak mod files for Baldur's Gate 3 without touching the game's own data folder. It claims to keep mods in a separate staging directory and link them into the game at deploy time. It also mentions detecting when the Mod Fixer dependency is needed and installing it automatically, supporting the BG3 script extender and Native Mod Loader, providing a drag and drop load order editor, downloading mods from Nexus through its API, and keeping separate profiles for different campaigns such as honour mode or multiplayer. The usage section walks through a normal mod manager flow. The user runs setup.exe, picks a simple install path such as C:\Limo, lets the program auto detect a Steam, Epic, or GOG install of the game, chooses a staging directory outside the game folder, drags mod archives or .pak files into the tool or downloads them from Nexus, clicks Deploy to link them into the game's Mods folder, arranges priority by dragging items in the load order panel, and then launches BG3 from inside the tool. The notes section is the usual mod manager warnings. The program is Windows 10 or 11 64-bit only, with no Linux or macOS support. It claims compatibility with game patches 4 through 7 as of May 2026. Multiplayer is said to work only if every player has the same mods installed. The program is supposed to warn before removing mods mid playthrough because that can corrupt saves. It asks for 500 MB of disk space plus room for the mods themselves. Readers should treat this with caution. The actual binary lives behind a third-party redirect link rather than on GitHub, no source is provided, and the repo's name and pitch closely shadow other Windows mod managers. Anyone looking for a real mod manager for Baldur's Gate 3 should check that the download source is one they already trust before running the installer.
