Basket Equipment to Camp Clothing
baldurs-gate-3 — Mods & Enhancements
This mod converts the armor and cloak slot items from the massive 'Basket Full of Equipment' (BFE) mod into camp clothing, and boots into camp shoes, by changing their equipment slot types in the game's item definitions. This means you can wear your favorite BFE armor visuals (like the 'Elven Chain' or 'Dragon Scale Mail') as casual camp attire, without the armor's stats or weight affecting your character outside of combat. Players install this to show off rare or stylish gear during camp scenes, especially for screenshots or roleplay, while keeping their actual combat armor optimized for stats.

🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you already have BFE items in your inventory, the conversion won't apply retroactively. To fix this, open the console (via Script Extender) and type `BasketToCamp_ConvertItems()`. This will iterate through your inventory and change the slot type of all BFE items to 'Camp' or 'Camp Shoes'. Alternatively, sell and rebuy the items from a merchant—the new slot type will apply on purchase.
After conversion, go to the camp and open your inventory. The items will appear under the 'Camp Clothing' tab (not 'Armor'). To see them on your character, press 'C' to open the camp outfit selection, then click the 'Camp Clothing' slot and choose the converted item. You can also set it as your 'Default Outfit' by right-clicking the item in the camp tab and selecting 'Set as Default'.
If you also use the separate 'Camp Clothes' addon from BFE, load this conversion mod AFTER that addon. This ensures that the conversion overrides the addon's item definitions, so you don't get duplicate items with conflicting slot types. In Vortex, set this mod's load priority to 20, and the addon to 10.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Converted items don't appear in the camp clothing tab, but still show as armor.
This happens if you're using 'Basket Full of Equipment' v2.0 or later, which changed item IDs. Download the 'Compatibility Patch for BFE v2' from this mod's optional files. If the issue persists, use the console command `BasketToCamp_ForceSlot(itemUUID, 'Camp')` for each specific item (e.g., `BasketToCamp_ForceSlot('a1b2c3d4', 'Camp')`).
Game crashes when opening the camp inventory after conversion.
This is a conflict with 'ImprovedUI Assets' or 'Better Hotbar'. In your load order, place this mod ABOVE both of those mods. Then, in the 'ImprovedUI' settings, disable 'Custom Inventory Grid'—the converted items use a different slot type that conflicts with the grid override. If it still crashes, delete the 'BasketToCamp' folder from your 'Mods' directory and reinstall, then verify your Script Extender version is 7.0.1 or higher.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Converting items while they are equipped on your character, which causes the item to disappear from the game world because the slot type change invalidates the equipped slot—always unequip items before running the conversion console command.
- Forgetting that converted items lose their armor class and enchantments (like +1 AC or fire resistance) because they become camp clothing—players often wear them in combat thinking they still provide stats, leading to an unexpected TPK.
