BG2 Tweak Pack not installing correctly?
in BGII:EE Mods
I saw this on the list of supported mods so I installed what I wanted from it but now my game is all messed up. I'm not sure how it happened but it seems that many of the things that were supposed to be changed didn't work, particularly in regards to descriptions for things.
For example, I installed the tweak that shuffles around weapon profficiencies which is supposed to include a new description, but the profficiencies did not change and now the descriptions that should have been changed look to be some random Haer'dalis dialog. Some of the item descriptions had this happen as well. My favorite is the White Dragon Scale description which now reads 'Come now, who could be stronger than you? Who would dare give orders to you?' That is an awesome description for a suit of armor but I digress.
I don't know what all is affected because I didn't really do much after I noticed the mod didn't install correctly. I'm going to reinstall the game and take another crack at it and make sure everything I'm using is up to date (like Weidu). Before I did this I wanted to check here to see if anyone else has had this happen before and how to fix it, since I really enjoy the tweak pack and would like to use it.

Once you have replaced setup-bg2_tweaks.exe, don't use bg2_tweaks-v14.exe to install the mod, otherwise the old file will overwrite the new one, nullifying any change. Instead, just double click on setup-bg2_tweaks.exe inside the main BG folder (I'm assuming that the foder bg2_tweaks-v14 and the file setup-bg2_tweaks.exe are already there because you attempted to install the mod at least once).
If you still have problems after that, attach here the files WeiDU.log and SETUP-BG2_TWEAKS.DEBUG (you'll have to zip or rar them first).
N.B. Having a more updated version of WeiDU.exe in the main BG folder will not automatically update setup-bg2_tweaks.exe, that's why you must manually replace the file. However, if you have an up to date setup-modname.exe, from another mod, then setup-bg2_tweaks.exe will be automatically updated and manual replacement will not be necessary.
However, ToBEx also externalise clsrcreq.2da, so maybe it could work with the original game too, if you install ToBEx, but I haven't tried and ToBEx implementation is different, so I'm not sure it is compatible.
I take it EBG2 is the enhanced edition? Or is EBG2 and BGII:EE different?
Blushes abound!

I strongly suspect that BGII:EE was developed from EBG2.
