A) Find a mod that's been updated to work on the latest version of BG/2EE. Check the Pocket Plane Group, or Gibberlings3- an example would be the Kelsey or Xan NPC. (I am telling you to do this rather then download WEIDU straight because I can't remember where you find the latest version of WEIDU anymore- is it still Weimer's site?) See the file named Setup-ModName.exe C) Copy and rename that file to Setup-ItemUpgrade.exe or whatever Weimer's exe file is named. You'll want to overwrite the old version with this new file. You'll notice this is the same name as the tp2 file that's likely in the mod's folder (just without the setup).
The tp2 file is the file that tells your mod how to install ('put this file here, put that file here'). Weidu is the program that does this installation, at it's most simple- weidu does a ton of other fun stuff too, but for a mod user, what you need to know is WEIDU installs your mods and makes them as compatable as possible with no muss or fuss.
Thanks a lot. Will try it tomorrow! Now its pillowhugging time for me
I have BG2EE and recently installed the tweak pack mainly for the all stronghold mod, and I was wondering if I had to create a new character to take advantage of the mod or if it even works for EE
Some of the mods aren't installing for me, I get a message saying I don't appear to have ToB installed...any work around or anyhting for this? Thank you in advance!
The Item Upgrade Mod can be installed using an external WeiDu and weinstall. I posted this a couple of month ago.
http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/17717/tool-easy-mod-installer-for-os-x StefanO said: I tried "weinstall+mavericks MODNAME" on the command line. "weinstall+mavericks" calls "WeiDU" (not "weidu") for execution. Because OSX file names are kind of case sensitive, "WeiDU" wasn't found and "weinstall+mavericks MODNAME" failed.
I renamed "weidu+mavericks" to "WeiDU" and after adding the working directory to the PATH shell variable via "PATH=$PATH:." the mod was successfully installed.
I tested this with the "itemupgrade" mod. Everything worked fine.
If your aren't familiar with the OSX command line the "easy mod installer" is perhaps the tool of choice.
Not sure if you're still updating this, @LiamEsler, but I just wanted to point out for you and everyone that theacefes's lovely Sarah NPC mod has been updated for BG2EE for a while now, though she can only be gotten from the forums- http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?showtopic=26145. Apparently, the download center was being mean.
Just out of curiosity, what happens if you try and install the current version of Item Upgrade in BG2:EE? I've tried it, and there weren't any error messages in WeiDU. The item descriptions also appear to be accurate, and the dialogues with Cromwell seem to work, too. If I have to reinstall the game, I'm not too bothered, but looking at it superficially, the mod seems to work fine as is.
I'm back to Baldu's Gate saga after 12 years or so thanks to enhanced editions. I've never done any modding before, so I need some advice from much more experienced users. I've heard about a mod that can increase the level cap to 50. My question is if it's available for BGII:EE? IF so can somebody please direct me to that mod? I'm sorry if that was answered before (probably it was many times) but despite searching through forum I haven't found that. I only googled that BG2 tweak pack can do that but for the 'old' version of BG2. Not sure if the one mentioned on page 1 of this thread has this option to, so I'd appreciate help.
Argh, ran into an annoying bug. I have multiple mods installed, so I don't know which is the problem but for one, even though I put all the banter stuff on 60min (if I had the choice) the party sometimes has up to six banters directly after each other, sometimes repeating themselves. Seems to happen every time I enter a new "friendly" area.
The other glitch I ran into is regarding Yoshimo who wants to initiate a dialouge with me as soon as I left Aumaunator's temple through the dragon's lair (he was pretty much just standing around during the fight against the shadelord even though I told him repeatedly to attack). It seems to be a similar problem I had with Coran in the BG1 NPC Project.

Greetings Everyone! I am getting ready for my next play-through and am strongly considering trying out some of these mods. Does anyone know if they are still compatible with the latest Steam version of Baldur's Gate II Enhanced Edition?
I have found Gibberlings and Pocket Plane mods to "Install Successfully" (not yet sure if they work); however, all of the mods that I have tried from the other sites such as SHS Forums have failed to install.
I get the lines: Install component "Undefined String @(numbers). ERROR: No translation provided for @(numbers) (ex: @5001)
I also get many other errors relating to the specific mod- such as for Arath I get: ERROR: Unix.Unix_error(20, "stat", "arath/images/ee")
And for bpseries ERROR: Sys_error("bpseries/ds/ds.tph: no such file or directory")
Thanks for your support! And yes I am extracting and installing the mod files to the folder with the game directory and chitin.key)
So, I too purchased the game from Steam sale, and wanted to set it up with the latest mods and tweaks. 60 mods? Seriously? Which of these are critical?

It sounds like WeiDU can't find the mod's files. Here is a possibility for what is happening (hard to say with certainty without seeing the contents of your BGEE directory):
You unpack the archive for the 'Teapot Mod' (just an example). This creates a directory called "Teapot-Mod-v1". Inside this directory are three items:
A subdirectory: teapot-mod (contains the mod's files) A file: setup-teapot-mod.tp2 A program: setup-teapot-mod.exe
You should copy these three items to the BGEE directory where CHITIN.KEY lives. If you copy the Teapot-Mod-v1 directory itself to the BGEE directory, all the paths in the file setup-teapot-mod.tp2 will be wrong. The files should be in "teapot-mod/" not "Teapot-Mod-v1/teapot-mod/".
AstroBryGuy, Thank you for the speedy response! I am away right now so I cannot access my laptop at the moment-- saturday or sunday I will update on the situation.
Thanks again.
Edit: After reading through your response a few more times I think I know where I made a mistake. I will update in a few days!
So, I too purchased the game from Steam sale, and wanted to set it up with the latest mods and tweaks. 60 mods? Seriously? Which of these are critical?
You must be new to the BG series. Loading 60+ mods into a game isn't that unusual. These are most (but definitely not all) of the popular mods that people have been clamoring to have for the EE version, with a few new mods as well.
Now, which are critical? If by critical you mean necessary fixes, then none. The BG2 Fixpack clears up most of those, and the majority of it's components are already included in the BG2EE code. Most of the mods in this list are additional quests or NPCs. If you're interested in some convenience options, BG2 Tweaks has some features, such as unlimited stacks of ammo, potions, and scrolls.
A note of caution: Be careful to go through each readme before installation, and have it handy as you install mod components. There are a lot of options in these mods, some of which you may not like or may not be compatible with other mods.
I am excited to say that I got all the mods installing now! I never had all three essential components (mod directory folder, mod setup application, and tp2 file) in the game directory folder at the same time during installation. Putting each of these three components in the game directory worked like a charm! Appreciate the help AstroBryGuy!
Now that I am posting I am curious if there is a working mod compatible with bg2ee that increases font size-- or if there is a tweak that would do that. My 1920 x 1080 resolution screen makes it a task to read. The game is still playable at the default font; but it could be nicer if it were bigger.
While I am at it I will ask one more question: If Beamdog updates the game to a new version will the mods corrupt the game? I read somewhere that you would need to reinstall the mods in the same order that you had initially installed them.

All the best
An adjustable font size is coming in the v1.3 patch, AFAIK. With v1.2, you should be able to toggle UI Scaling on and off. With it on, I think the font is bigger (well, it appears so to me). It's in the options under Graphics.
Yes, an update of the game requires that mods be reinstalled after the update. To best preserve compatibility with previous saved games, you should install the mods in the same order (and with the same options) so that the string references are the same.

The newest release of WeiDU can be used to apply class kits again, but the pre-1.2 class kits won't work without being re-coded.
Not much of the main quest or friendship path done yet, but there's a few encounters, and maybe a surprise and easter egg or two.
You are a true hero UvU

I am getting ready for my next play-through and am strongly considering trying out some of these mods. Does anyone know if they are still compatible with the latest Steam version of Baldur's Gate II Enhanced Edition?
I have found Gibberlings and Pocket Plane mods to "Install Successfully" (not yet sure if they work); however, all of the mods that I have tried from the other sites such as SHS Forums have failed to install.
I get the lines: Install component "Undefined String @(numbers).
ERROR: No translation provided for @(numbers) (ex: @5001)
I also get many other errors relating to the specific mod- such as for Arath I get:
ERROR: Unix.Unix_error(20, "stat", "arath/images/ee")
And for bpseries
ERROR: Sys_error("bpseries/ds/ds.tph: no such file or directory")
Thanks for your support!
And yes I am extracting and installing the mod files to the folder with the game directory and chitin.key)
You unpack the archive for the 'Teapot Mod' (just an example). This creates a directory called "Teapot-Mod-v1". Inside this directory are three items:
A subdirectory: teapot-mod (contains the mod's files)
A file: setup-teapot-mod.tp2
A program: setup-teapot-mod.exe
You should copy these three items to the BGEE directory where CHITIN.KEY lives. If you copy the Teapot-Mod-v1 directory itself to the BGEE directory, all the paths in the file setup-teapot-mod.tp2 will be wrong. The files should be in "teapot-mod/" not "Teapot-Mod-v1/teapot-mod/".
Thank you for the speedy response! I am away right now so I cannot access my laptop at the moment-- saturday or sunday I will update on the situation.
Thanks again.
Edit: After reading through your response a few more times I think I know where I made a mistake. I will update in a few days!
Now, which are critical? If by critical you mean necessary fixes, then none. The BG2 Fixpack clears up most of those, and the majority of it's components are already included in the BG2EE code. Most of the mods in this list are additional quests or NPCs. If you're interested in some convenience options, BG2 Tweaks has some features, such as unlimited stacks of ammo, potions, and scrolls.
A note of caution: Be careful to go through each readme before installation, and have it handy as you install mod components. There are a lot of options in these mods, some of which you may not like or may not be compatible with other mods.
I've installed the BG2 Tweaks pack, Sword Coast Stratgems, BPSeries AI Scripts.
Now that I am posting I am curious if there is a working mod compatible with bg2ee that increases font size-- or if there is a tweak that would do that. My 1920 x 1080 resolution screen makes it a task to read. The game is still playable at the default font; but it could be nicer if it were bigger.
While I am at it I will ask one more question: If Beamdog updates the game to a new version will the mods corrupt the game? I read somewhere that you would need to reinstall the mods in the same order that you had initially installed them.
All the best
Yes, an update of the game requires that mods be reinstalled after the update. To best preserve compatibility with previous saved games, you should install the mods in the same order (and with the same options) so that the string references are the same.
Where can I find info on BG:EE (part 1) compatibility with mods?
