Has anyone used a mod to allow more than 4 players in a party?

My group of friends used Party Size Evolved for Divinity 2 so that we could have 5 of us playing together and it seemed to work mostly correct. We had occasional minor issues but nothing game breaking.

I think we might have 6 or 7 people for Bg3 and I'm curious if anyone has run into any issues playing with more than 4 people. It seems like 7 people might be a bit much for balanced difficulty so we might play on tactician?

I'm curious to hear your thoughts!

It seemed all the mods for it wouldn't do what I wanted. Got it working with this https://www.mediafire.com/file/4o3imoykr1pfamf/bg3-console-release.zip/file (goes in bin).

Which gives you a console, and then typing these commands while in camp let me recruit more people.

Replace 6 with preferred party size. I'm playing 2 player with my partner and now we each can take 2 people with each of us, which was my aim. Works great. Doesn't feel op, though we considered switching to tactician we ended up staying balanced. We still get plenty of close calls.

Crashed once so far, when doing a Gale thing and he wasn't #1 slot in my party, so when I reloaded I temp left my 2nd party member at camp and then reinvited them after the dialogue. So it seems you only have to do it once and the limit is saved, because I didn't have to put the code in again.

Oh and I think you need to have 3 or less people in the party when you make the size change. Not 100%, but I remember doing it so it may have been necessary.

I found this in the comments of the Party Limit Begone mod by the way.

Where does that mod come from? Does it have a GitHub page?

Just got it from this link from the nexus comments so I don't know, I heard mention of script extender many places but didn't see any kind of link until that comment

Finds it just as I say this...whoops https://github.com/Norbyte/bg3se I think this is it, if it works let me know and I'll edit my og reply to for future sake because yeah much nicer to get something from github than some random link.
