Extract text from Mod lists or 3D files (BSL)
To convert BSL Files to another format, you need Wrye Bash or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Mod Installer List" file type, you need software like Wrye Bash or a similar tool.
A .BSL file typically functions as either a game mod installer list for Wrye Bash or a 3D furniture design project created in Bazis-System. In the modding community for Bethesda Softworks games like Skyrim, .BSL files track the installation order and archive data of mods to prevent conflicts. Alternatively, in the woodworking and furniture industry, a .BSL file contains detailed 3D models, material lists, and assembly logic for cabinetry. Other minor uses include binary session logs for the Amadeus Global Distribution System (GDS), satellite receiver data packets, or AI scripts in games like The Age of Decadence.
The primary disadvantage of the .BSL format is its highly fragmented and proprietary nature. A furniture .BSL file requires an expensive CAD subscription to edit, while a modding .BSL file is useless outside of its specific mod manager. Users often want to convert a Bazis .BSL 3D model to a universal format like OBJ, STL, or DXF for manufacturing or sharing, or they want to extract text data from a mod list. Standard online converters fail because these files lack a universal structure and use closed, proprietary encoding.
This file format is notoriously difficult to open or convert because only the original software understands the specific data arrays inside. If our analysis detects a supported underlying format or plain text embedded within the file, viewing or conversion may still be successful.
Convert.Guru analyzes your BSL file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted EZ, TAR and OPK files.
If you want to convert BSL file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Wrye Bash or similar software from the "Modding & Furniture CAD" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to BSL, try Wrye Bash or another comparable tool in the "Modding & Furniture CAD" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our BSL converter.
