@featherwurm replied to your post “Pondering on trying to spin up a little one-pager...”:

Man I would love to get script extender working but I've yet to crack it.

Unsure if you mean you can't get it installed or can't get commands to run successfully, so super apologies if I'm telling you stuff you already know (but posting this anyway in case it's useful to someone else).

Do you use BG3 Mod Manager? If so, there is an option to download and install the Script Extender quickly through that interface:

Run that command and complete the extraction, and then open the game via mod manager from the Go menu:

This will open the game directly (you may have to click a confirmation within Steam, although lately it hasn't been prompting me), and you will see two windows open at once - the game and also a console window.

Once you're loaded into a particular save, you can tab over to that console; hit enter a couple times and it will present you with the "server Lua console" input prompt:

You can then type any command you want into this prompt:

(If you've gotten this far but it's actually getting successful commands to run that you're having issues with - I'm def gonna try to put this cheatsheet together and update it as I learn more stuff, but if I can help with something specific in the meantime please let me know. :D )

Still a ways to go yet but my attempt at making Rasaad's tattoos is starting to come together. :D

Pondering on trying to spin up a little one-pager web app with cheat sheet copy-pastes for different BG3 Script Extender console commands.

Poking around in the Elerrathin's sanctum on my young Jaheira playthrough, in pursuit of maybe getting some gifs of her and Rasaad cuddling down there, and wandered straight into the traps and blew myself up because I forgot the game doesn't actually know that my player character is meant to be Jaheira. XD

This is a long shot but does anyone know if there's a Script Extender console command to spawn in new furniture in BG3? (Like to add a new table and be able to move it around?)

If you can guess what I'm in the process of setting up a gifset of, from this image, you get a cookie. >:)

woohoo nvm figured out how to fix the annoying ambient curse aura in the other location I wanted to use for this gifset.

I feel deeply powerful when I manage to figure out how to do something with Osiris that isn't explicitly tutorialized anywhere. XD

Exciting discovery of the day -- there is in fact a DAI save game editor (I think someone mentioned this to me a while back but I didnt’ go find it until today).

It seems to work pretty well too although it’s very no-frills and a bit messy.

According to this I have 74 approval with Sera so I’m preeeetty sure something’s glitched because I can’t activate her romance >.< Gonna bump the number up a bit and hope for the best.
