I was just wondering if the fan mods from the Original BG will be able to be imported into the Enhanced Edition or not.

    I posted a similar question in another forum, and the reply i got was that people were unsure whether the old mods would work with the new version. But don't take my word for it

    I hope they do, but I understand if it doesn't. Were talking here about an upgraded engine (BG2 engine). So its possible that the original BG mods may not be compatible. I will probably get this anyways simply cause of the new content and the possibility of more, even though the original fan mods might not work.

    The answer is: Maybe.

    From what I've read, WEIDU needs to be updated. It's apparently being worked on, but that's necessary before anything else. BG2 Tweaks is said to work--pending a WEIDU update. 1PP is being at least partially incorporated into BG:EE. The devs are using a lot of the same tools that the modding community created, but there's a lot of coding changes on the back end.

    Everything else is pretty much a wait and see game.

    Edited to add: I'm betting non-Tutu/BGT mods won't work, since it's running on the ToB engine. Fortunately, most mods have a Tutu/BGT option,so it's a matter of waiting for the modder(s) in charge to update, who are waiting on the aforementioned WEIDU update.

    And of course Weidu likely is waiting for the release of the game, unless they got a copy beforehand so they could work on updating their program by the time this comes out.

    It's possible that they do. There are a handful of prominent modders that are currently beta-testers for BG:EE. :)
