I have purchased this for pc and ported my save so the EXP cap remover works (success there! almost!) 2/3 of my characters can now earn EXP as the cap intends, however, my Shaman is stuck gaining EXP but with -1 as the to-next-level amount, capping them at an unclickable "ready to level up" - any ideas how to fix this minor glitch in using this cap remover?
I took the files @mlnevese organized and made a safer XP Cap.
See in BGEE/SoD/BP, if you reach 3.000.000 XP you'll be locked in the level up screen because BGEE has no info about HLAs and the game will demand that you select HLAs.
This happened to me once in Avernus during a (very) power playing run and often happens to me when testing my mods (as I need to keep leveling up to test things).
That being said, the attached file contains an XP Cap Enhancer - you'll be able to safely go all the way to 2.999.999 XP!
Cheers!
Edit: @mlnevese if you want to add those to the first page of the thread, I would be very happy.
I just picked up the game and I think I installed this correctly, is there any way to check apart from working my way to the cap and seeing if it's there?
I seemed to have hit a bug after exporting my character to BG2EE.
In BG1EE I installed the XP cap remover in the first post and changed all values in each file to 250,000. I killed Saverok and then imported to BG2EE. My character started with just a bit more xp than what he ended with. My main character already leveled up once, but now hit 250,000 and stopped. Also it seems Imoen and Yoshimo get unequal and ridiculous amounts of xp. Yoshimo joined my party at level 10 (166,000 something xp), for comparison Imoen started at 95,000 (level 8 wizard), I think Minsc joined around 160,000 (level 8) . Imoen leveled up crazy fast, up to level 9 but no one else leveled up as fast. Now currently Imoen is at 139923xp and Yoshimo at 175745. I disarm two traps and their xp jumps to 250,437 (a difference of 110,514 and 74,255 respectively).
Does anyone know what is going on? And how do I fix this?
It’s a bit late but the override folder nor the 00766 doesn’t seem to exist in the installation folder of my Baldur’s Gate Enhanced Edition... How am I supposed to do this? Should I copy the downloaded override folder to my Baldur’s Gate EE’s installation folder?
Update:
Oh nevermind, just made it work XD a big thanks
Users must:
1) Change the downloaded file name and delete the “.zip” extension so that it is named “mod.bg1override”
2) Email to self or use DropBox, etc. and copy the file to BG:EE or SOD.
I found that I can do this even in the middle of a saved game and the XP cap will be removed. No PC connection or other editor needed. FYI - I left the character class settings at “-1” (no cap) rather than a specific number
I Lvled up my team to lvl 41in BG II EE, but when I did that, all spells became obsolete. The only way to cast spells now is by using scrolls. Is there something I have to do in one of the overrides to fix this? Or did I screw up?
@Hocapontas The amount of spells available (and a lot of other levelbased stuff) are basically a table with a row for each class level. Since the default max level is 40, there are no rows for level 41 and above. Therefor, no spells are found, so it defaults to 0 spells per spell level.
How do you remove this XP cap thing? Do you only remove the files from the override folder? I installed it and now I regret doing it because I don't want the game to become too easy. I have not hit any levels over the default max level yet.

Thanks very much, it was annoying hitting the (absurdly) low cap.

For iPad Users - Like others I had some issues with just putting the files in an ipad-created folder and copying it into BG or SOD. But I used info at https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/66644/how-to-install-mods-on-ios-devices-no-jailbreak/p1
And properly created an override folder that works. Here is the attached override folder with your files.
Users must:
1) Change the downloaded file name and delete the “.zip” extension so that it is named “mod.bg1override”
2) Email to self or use DropBox, etc. and copy the file to BG:EE or SOD.
