noob question about mods.

I have a number of the mods downloaded from this site and WeiDU. I don't know what to do from here to get them working. Any help would be appreciated. I have done some searches on google to try to find out but am still confused.

    Did you read the readme files included? :)

    Do you mean the readmes that came with weidu? I read them but I'm still pretty confused about most of it.

    The readmes that came with the mods you downloaded. :)

    *face palm* thanks that helped a lot. But it did leave me with another question. Most of the mods I want to work with have readmes and setup files but the portrait pack doesn't. Should I just extract them into the BGee directory?

    @drauka: Put the portraits in the portraits folder or the override folder and they will automatically work :)

    ok so I have extracted the files into the directory I created in Baldur's Gate EE called override. I'm still not having any luck getting the portraits to use at character creation.

    I'm not sure. I have been using the super ultimate portraits and I just double checked to make sure that I had done nothing excepts put the portraits in the override folder. It worked fine for me.

    You must go to C:\Users\username\Documents\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition\ and create folder named Portraits , into this folder you extract your desired portraits ;)
    btw. you will need 3 sizes:
    210x330 nameL.bmp
    169x266 nameM.bmp
    54x85 nameS.bmp
    *size in pixels

    one thing i never understood though.... where does the game use the L sized portrait

    the small one is for the party pic on the sidebar while playing and the medium one is used in the Record screen but where does the L one get used??

    back on topic....

    just make sure your portraits folder in the directory that Bagor Stated starts with a capital P once you've done that...

    when selecting a portrait there will be a button called "Custom" click that to see the custom portraits.

    @Drow_Arrow AFAIK the L sized image is only used in BG2 epilogue when the game is telling you what happenned to the NPCs who were in your party.

    @Drow_Arrow @mlnevese - The L sized image is also used in on the Record Screen > Customize Button > Appearance Screen.
