Help for the clueless

Miridor

I finally finished BG:EE with some mods installed (NPC, UB, Tweaks, Minor Portraits, SCS). They are installed in the 00766 folder.
Now, I'm ready to play SoD - do I have to reinstall the mods I want to use somewhere else, or does the game check for those changes I already made (for instance, XP cap remover)?

Sorry, if this has been asked many times before - any help would be much appreciated by this here berk.

You need to merge SOD with BG:EE installation.
Follow the instructions in this thread: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/50441/modmerge-merge-your-steam-gog-zip-based-dlc-into-something-weidu-nearinfinity-dltcep-can-use/p1

@Miridor Yes, you need to install them in the 00806 folder. That's where Beamdog puts BG+SoD. You could have just played the entire game from there since SoD is an expansion on BG 1.

@yowave You don't need to run modmerge if you bought the games from Beamdog, that's only for the Steam and GOG editions.

@BillyYank I never thought that Beamdog installation is different in that regard, good to know.

Thanks a lot.
I actually started playing before SoD was out so that's why I installed the mods in BG.
Haven't got that much time for the game these days :-)
