Was looking at Approval Tweaks, any idea if using it stops you gaining Steam achievements?
Most likely, though there is another mod that supposedly re-enables achievements even with mods running.
The achievement enabler introduced a bunch of odd bugs for me (e.g. skipping interactions as if I'd pressed a button) that coupled with the fact that it's a full on dll replacement (read: arbitrary code execution) skeeved me out enough to uninstall it.
If definitely did work for enabling achievements while playing modded, for what it's worth though.
I didn't get the achievements working even with it, I think. Did you run through the launcher?
I use BG3 mod manager for most mods. For that one though you have to do everything manually, if I recall. It was just a matter of dropping the files from the zip file into the game directory and overwriting (I of course backed up my own copies first).
That's what I did, and I also use BG3MM. But I made a shortcut directly to the exe to skip the launcher, and I wondered if that's why I was still not getting achievements maybe.
I launch normally through steam, though with the skip launcher option on so I don't have to bother with the splash screen.
