the guide doesnt explain how to convert a txt to a json, and copy and pasting doesn't work

I use Vortex for my modding, and I actually just created a zip with the appropriate bin\ScriptExtenderSettings.json inside of it.
Then I can just drag the zip over into Vortex and this gets auto inserted.

Would that work for the BG3 Mod Manager, also? I'm wondering if something this simple could be added as an extra (not suggested) download.

I'm not sure how much is written into this file, though. If a lot of mods write to it, then I'd just be overwriting and screwing up stuff.

<Of course, I also understand the point of "if you can't figure out how to make a json file, then you likely SHOULDN'T start messing around with this console. Although why windows is still hiding file extensions by default is beyond me!>

To everyone having trouble opening the console: You have to make sure ScriptExtenderSettings.json is a JSON File and not a text document. It's file type has to say JSON file.

Make sure you can see your file extensions so you can change it. If you're onWindows 11,open File Explorer, then click on “View,” select “Show,” and choose the “File name extensions” option to show extensions.

could somebody help me I followed all of the instructions even redownloading SE but the window doesn't pop up the only other window that pops up is a window checking if SE needs an update

Edit: I found out if you edit the "ScriptExtenderSettings" before it becomes a .json using notepad++ and save as and right below the name of the file you can change the file type to a .json also just incase now i run it in administrator mode and it works just fine :)

Also I would like to thank Fenexus and Morniah for helping me solve this, even if they weren't actively helping me it was their revelations that allowed my conclusions to be met.

New problem: shortly after following these steps my game seems to be more pixelated I wanna say is there anyway to fix this (I already removed the .json)

Thank you, this was very helpful. For those who are still having problems here is how I loaded tutorial chest and achievment enabled through script extender's .json

{
"EnableAchievements": true, "CreateConsole": true
}
