🛠️ Installation

Step 1 – Install Dependencies

If this is your first mod, you should download a mod manager such as Vortex.

Step 2 – Download

Don't forget to take note of where you place it.

Step 3 – Install

Install it using Vortex or your preferred mod manager. Please refer to its documentation, as the process can differ by software. OR manually drop the .pak file into: C:\Users\<Your PC Username>\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods Make sure to replace <Your PC Username> with the folder name used in your PC.

Step 4 – Launch BG3 & Open the In-Game Mod Manager

From the main menu, click Mod Manager.
Navigate to the Installed tab.
Make sure Simple Nymph is checked (enabled).
DELETE ImpUI (Unsubscribe) if it popped up from some reason. (it can happen due to game cashing meta files from older mod versions)
Drag it to adjust the load order if needed. The main file should be placed: - after MCM (if you use it). - before Immersion Patch (if you use it).

Step 5 – Start Playing

Customize power level using MCM settings or chose difficulty.
Start a new game or respec your character.
The Nymph race will appear as an Origin option in character creation.

🧬 Features
Different Rulesets
The ruleset used is dependent on difficulty level by default. You can use MCM to redefine it as you see fit, use the Immersion Patch to lock the Immersion ruleset to all difficulty levels, or set whatever ruleset you want by starting a Custom difficulty game.

Immersion - Nymph are (somewhat) balanced.
- Usually add +1 to abilities / +2 to skills. Used in Hard and Honor modes.
Normal - Nymph are OP, with no significant weaknesses.
- Usually add +2 to abilities / +3 to skills. Used in Medium mode.
Old School - Nymph are very OP, but with weaknesses too.
- Same bonuses as Normal, but other effects are amplified/added. Used in Easy mode.

ℹ️ All subsequent features change with ruleset.

Except for Clean Power - that one has its own setting.
This is the reason character creation descriptions don’t show exact values.
- They’re replaced with proper ones once the game starts.
