I used to install mods for the original BG 2 and it felt quite easy.

Now however I get a little black window saying I'm not installing the in IE game directory - what does this mean?
Seriously I can't get any mods to install, can someone give me a mega simplified step-by-step guide? :)

    For beamdog games you need to find a folder named 000783 or something (you'll know it when you see it) that folder is the ie game directory

    Make sure the mods you're trying to install have been updated to work with the EE games. There are differences from the originals and not all of the old mods will work in these new versions.

    Thank guys, turned out needed to install them in GOG folder... Now I have a new issue!

    BG2EE will load, but it won't let me make a new saved game. It's weird because I've tried uninstalling the latest mods I installed, but nothing seems to help. I can carry on playing my current game but no new ones :( Any tips? Anyone experienced this? Is it best to delete everything and reinstall and try each one until I find the one that breaks it? Are any certain mods known for this?

    I don't know if it goes without saying, but mods installed on a GOG game won't affect BGII: EE and vice versa.
