BG3 Console Mods Wave 3 Drops — Catgirl Shadowheart Is Here
Larian has approved a third batch of BG3 console mods for April, featuring catgirl Shadowheart, new Tiefling subraces, and expanded Warlock pacts.
Larian Studios is on a roll. Baldur's Gate 3 just got its third wave of console mod approvals for April 2026 — and we still have over a week left in the month. At this rate, console players are finally catching up to what PC modders have been enjoying for years.
The standout from this batch? You can now turn Shadowheart into a catgirl. Ears, fluffy tail, the works. Is it lore-accurate? Absolutely not. Does it matter? Definitely not.
What's in Wave 3
Here's what's notable in this latest drop:
- Catgirl Shadowheart — a character appearance overhaul that adds cat ears and a tail to everyone's favorite cleric of Shar. Console players have been begging for this one.
- Six New Tiefling Subraces — expands character creation with additional Tiefling bloodline options, adding more variety to one of the game's most popular races.
- Expanded Warlock Pact options — gives Warlock players more flexibility in how their pact mechanics play out, something that PC players have had access to for a while now.
Why This Matters
When BG3 first launched its console mod support, the approval pipeline was slow and the selection was limited. Three drops in April alone signals that Larian has seriously sped things up — and that they're actively curating mods that console players actually want, not just rubber-stamping whatever's technically compatible.
For context, PC players have had access to thousands of mods on Nexus Mods for ages. Bringing even a curated slice of that creativity to consoles is a big deal, especially for players who don't have a gaming PC sitting around.
The BG3 Modding Scene in 2026
It's wild to think that a game released in 2023 is still generating this much buzz. BG3's modding community has stayed remarkably active — and Larian's ongoing support (both official updates and mod infrastructure) is a huge reason why.
If you're on console and haven't dug into the mod menu yet, now's a great time to start. And if you've been holding off on a second playthrough, Catgirl Shadowheart might just be the push you needed.
