XP-cap remover for BGIIEE

MrSexton

Hi!
I'm soloing BGIIEE and about to reach the xp-cap. Which is the best/easiest/safest cap/mod to install if I want to be able to keep my character, a F/M/T, going to 40/40/40 and be able to chose between all the HLA:s? /J

I would recommend BG2Tweaks. It has an option to remove the XP cap, but it also has a ton of other options to tweak various gameplay aspects in interesting ways; anything from higher stacks on arrows and potions, to various graphical tweaks, to "cheats" on romances and classes (e.g. removing race restrictions etc.). It is of course completely modular so you can install only the parts you actually want.

It's one of the most popular mods out there, and for a reason

BG2Tweaks also allows you to take triple class HLAs

One of my favourite options with the BG2Tweaks mod is the ability to shut up the "You must gather your party..." dialogue. Man that's an annoying line. That mod is pretty much the only one I'm using for my games.

It's also worth noting the BG2Tweaks should probably be renamed EETweaks as it works for BG:EE, BG2:EE and IWD:EE.

I installed it in my BGIIEE folder but all I get is a Failure, not a game directory... Where should the programme be installed?

My route is;

C:\RPG\Baldur's Gate II Enhanced Edition\Data\00783

MrSexton

@decado In the 00783 folder?

moody_mage

Yes

Just make sure it is your installation directory.

moody_mage

Did you get it working?

MrSexton

Hell yeah! Brilliant! Those tweaks should be optional in the game.

So I've a question... Maybe it's stupid, I dunno. So I just got to Underdark right. I want to remove the level cap (or at least increase it). The goal being, to be able to actually cast the level 9 spells I have in my spellbook. Anyway, I used the tweaker and I tried both the remove and increase options for the exp cap. I then loaded my game and attempted to level up (my characters already have the exp needed, it's just that the Accept button is greyed out. Aaaand it still is greyed out. So yeah. I dunno what the problem is. Anyone able to enlighten me?

Turns out, I am in fact a secret-retard. So all this time right... The entire game... I was not choosing abilities for my mage... or actually for any characters at all. I have not used a single special ability besides the lame druid ones that I learned early on to ignore. I had no idea about the alacrity or additional spell abilities. I literally didn't even click the ability button when leveling up. At all. Anyway it was the 4 unused ability slots that was keeping me from leveling up. *facepalm*
