Great tool!! I spent hours for everything but I can't wait to play!! Regarding mods, I'd like to see a mod that allow to play or just watch if you want big battles between big and powerful creatures like demons and dragons... that would be epic! In Tob I like the part when they send an army to kill you, and even if it's a short part it's nice... and it would be epic if you could battle with dragons, demons and mages and armies... I saw there is a summon red dragon mod but I couldn't make it work....
Looking for some assistance. I did the recommended mod option. I have been stuck on install.bat section with Cespanar Audio Patch for Item Upgrade. It says it is not present. Please install into main directory. The problem is that it is installed in the main directory from CespyAudioV1.zip. I have found no solution online for this.
before it even start to intal it tell me to start a game choose language and make a save which i all did but it keeps telling me to do it. i am using latest game patch and big world setup, windows 10
@ALIEN wierd but apperently you were right, for some reason my game auto patched to an older patch instead of the latest one when i downloaded it again from gog the other day, thanks for the help all works now that i updated manually.
Hey guys installing today BWS and wondering if also my mod list is EE compatible or anything I need to think about i.e mod order.

Some people have attached their WeiDU logs, I don't know which one is important, or how it works. In my BGEE folder I have one, and in my BG2EE I have two. One of them is called "WeiDU-BGEE.log". I don't know which one is relevant, or why a BGEE log is in my BG2EE folder.
EDIT: Nevermind, I remembered a classic line from IT Crowd: "Have you tried turning it off and on again?". What an awesome advice. Now it works.
EDIT2: Wow, I think I know why I have a BGEE file in my BG2EE folder, it seems I installed something that integrates all games. Now I have two BGEE's. I'm just hoping I didn't screw everything up, and I can actually play BGEE exactly as it was modded, through BG2EE's .exe
Greetings everyone! I'm a long-time lurker who has finally made an account to ask some questions of my own...
I installed the BGEE Trilogy mod using the big world installer. Fantastic work! I cannot believe the quality and quantity of content available for free! Thank you so much to everyone who makes this stuff!
I installed the recommended option with the large quantity of high-quality mods added in. I also chose to install the mod that adds the old movies in place of the new drawings. However, as I am adventuring in the areas around Candlekeep and just north of Beregost, I am finding that all the wolves I encounter are friendly! Even when I backstab them or shoot them with arrows, they remain friendly and just wander around until eventually succumbing to my dart's and Imoen's arrows.
Edit: I almost forgot, I've also noticed that the experience I receive from enemies is 50% of normal, so wolves give about 32. Is this intended?
Also, I am looking to configure a separate install with minimal mods to play through the entire saga with a friend in multiplayer. Are there any issues that would prevent me from using multiplayer with a minimal trilogy install via Big World? Does anyone have any recommendations on specific mods that would help give a really strong positive impression to a new player?
Again, thanks everyone for your efforts! They are very much appreciated!
I have successfully installed BWS (and also customized the SCS part) on BG:EE, but I also want to install it on BG2:EE, as @subtledoctor removed the hotfix I was using to get SCS to work, in favor of BWS, which he said was better than the hotfix. The first post says there is no need to install BWS separately for BG2:EE, but installing BWS hasn't changed my BG2:EE game.
How do I get SCS onto my BG2:EE install without using the now-missing hotfix? Can BWS do that?
@subtledoctor: Probably confusing because I'm new to BWS... I barely know what it does; I only ended up here due to your referral in the hotfix thread. In that case, I just ran BWS to install other stuff.
I'll give BWF a shot on its own, since BWS didn't accept it when I tried to select my BG2 directory when running BWS (it said to select the BG1 directory).
I am using BWS for sometime now, but every time I wan to correct something - it's a new learning the great tool. So, I decided to ask directly without re-installing all mod again: am I correct and there is not way to add some new mod (like new NPC, for example) not included yet into list of BWS mods yet, into the pool of selected mods for the tool to compare it with other mods and for fixing the potential problems?
I mean, after I selected all mods I need from BSW and then adding something that is not there?
@ALIEN: I did. But when I tried to run BWS again, I ended up at the page just after the game selection, at step 4. See attachment. I didn't see the option to choose a different game until I clicked "back."
@semiticgod Yes, that's intentional. It saves one action for the players who only use for one game. BWS GUI it'self is not perfect, but that's another story.
@Pokota You will find them at the mods/components selection screen. You already saw this screen and choose only the mod which you know (read mod readme's) and want?
I need to move BG2 to a separate folder outside Program Files x86, per the requirements in the BWS guide, but I don't know how to move it. I uninstalled both BG:EE and BG2:EE via Steam and want to reinstall them in a different folder, but I don't see the option to pick another folder. Attached is a screenshot of what I see.
Does anyone familiar with Steam know how I could move my install? My D drive doesn't have enough memory to hold BG2.
Just finished my BWS set up and had same issue as set up on under program files 86 and some mods didnt installed...I downloaded from beamdog so not from steam so will try to move folders and download again those missing mods
@semiticgod Install your games normally, then copy the installation directory (the one with chitin.key) to a different place. On my system, I created a folder called C:\Games\ and copied my games into there. The original installations still exist to provide a clean baseline, and any updates from Steam or GOG won't mess up my mods. You'll need to start your game directly from the baldur.exe instead of the Steam client.
Hey Alien, I noticed on the bitbucket there was commit that apparently BWS had a virus? How did that happen?
@Kaliesto First of all, there is no virus inside BWS, not even "false positive virus" at all. If you would read the commit content: https://bitbucket.org/BigWorldSetup/bigworldsetup/commits/5bf1650ceefd8ad5a12acc9a61b6bd20d30f8e9b you would see that the change was only a new link to The "Lion Warrior" kit mod. This mod was packed ages ago with weidu version which cause false positive detection. I've repacked the archive and make so BWS won't download anything which would alert antivirus in any way.
I moved my game per @BillyYank's instruction after reinstallation and started up BWS again for BG2. I ended up with a familiar error message in which one mod (usually a small one) fails and then BWS stalls indefinitely.
BWS says it skipped the component, but then nothing happens. BWS doesn't keep going when it hits this problem.
Hey guys. First off, thanks for this incredible tool!
I installed BGEE Trilogy+mostly the Standard recommended installation. Worked fine. The game does CTD once in a while, but I think the same happened to me in vanilla BG1EE anyway. It's a trivial issue if you save frequently. So it appears there is no "Level 1 NPCs"-style mod (a mod that makes recruitable NPCs always start at level 1 with appropriate experience to level up and you can choose their starting proficiencies and points) in the mod list offered by this tool. "Level 1 NPCs" ( http://www.gibberlings3.net/level1npcs/ ). I'll try adding the new EE-compatible NPC EE ( https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/43305/mod-npc-ee-non-player-characters-enhanced-for-everyone ) to my setup last, after the fact.
Also, why is Portraits Portraits Everywhere not in the standard setup? Are there any compatibility or other issues with it? Can be added to the Standard setup, or is it incompatible with some stuff in it (like The Picture Standard)?
Comments
Regarding mods, I'd like to see a mod that allow to play or just watch if you want big battles between big and powerful creatures like demons and dragons... that would be epic!
The colors show what the mods are about and their state.
EDIT: Nvm. I think I figured it out.

Install your games normally, then copy the installation directory (the one with chitin.key) to a different place. On my system, I created a folder called C:\Games\ and copied my games into there. The original installations still exist to provide a clean baseline, and any updates from Steam or GOG won't mess up my mods. You'll need to start your game directly from the baldur.exe instead of the Steam client.

I installed BGEE Trilogy+mostly the Standard recommended installation. Worked fine. The game does CTD once in a while, but I think the same happened to me in vanilla BG1EE anyway. It's a trivial issue if you save frequently.
