🎯 Tips & Tricks
Use a mod manager like Vortex or BG3MM to install — manual installation can break with game updates.
Make sure you have the latest Script Extender version, as OIO relies on it for UI changes.
If you're on patch 7 or later, check the mod's compatibility notes — UI mods often need updates after patches.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust: 6,461 endorsements and 588k downloads — this is a must-have for many.
- Saves you from reloading saves after accidentally breaking your Paladin oath or ticking off Karlach.
- Takes the guesswork out of dialogue — no more squinting at vague options.
👎 Cons
- May spoil the role-playing experience by showing exact DCs and approvals — some players prefer blind choices.
- UI can get cluttered with extra info on every dialogue option, especially in dense conversations.
- Requires a mod manager and possibly script extender — setup is more involved than a simple drop-in.
