overwhelmed with mods

Terrytails

so as every ambitious person who jumps into the mods section i found like 20-30 mods i want to install and i've hit a wall starting at the beginning. i am running baldur's gate 2 on steam and i want to do all this clean and in proper order. i have read the tutorials on the big world setup and on modmerge and i am right out to lunch. i would appreciate if someone, after finishing laughing at my ignorance, would give me a step by step on how to install these mods in the correct order. I am not expecting someone to run through all of them in one breathe. i would greatly appreciate if we could go one by one starting with just the big world setup and modmerge. after those two are in place then move on to the rest perhaps along the way i'll see a pattern and be able to implement the rest on my own. i just get really overwhelmed with programming and tutorials and i learn best through verbal interaction and breaking things down.

if someone were willing to go through this from start to finish all the mods below i would be more than willing to gift them one of the $20.00 games as a token of gratitude. (this could take some time depending on how easy all this stuff is i am very green on the topic.) (must have knowledge on what order and how to debug whatever issues come up i understand some mods may not be possible to coexist so deciding how to maximize which mods is also needed.) (payment comes after last mod is successfully installed payment confirmation will be posted as proof of payment to helper) admins i hope im allowed to do this i apologize if this is somehow against the rules.

#1 when trying to install big world setup i give the correct path to my balur.exe but it says that it cannot find the correct path.

#2 when trying to install modmerge i err can't find any executable so i don't really know what to do with it. (yes this is the level of intelligence you are working with)

If someone could explain where i am going wrong with #1 and #2 to start i would greatly appreciate it.

Terrytails

Which game you are trying to mod BG2:EE or BG:EE?

Terrytails

bg2ee on steam

1. For BG2:EE you don't need to use modmerge
2. You should put BG2:EE location on the second field, the first field should be "-", for example:

@subtledoctor Isn't Tome & Blood in a non stable state until Aquadrizzt get his part done right now ?

Also, I think the BG2 unofficial item pack is mostly redundant with the BG2 item pack so you probably should only install the unofficial one (up to date for EE).
The rest sounds ok though i'm not sure about how it'll balance the game. Looks like it'll make the game vary a lot between easy and cheesy so tread carefully

The Tome and Blood hotfixes are included now in the BWFixpack used by BWS. Unless the components list also changed since BWS added the mod, it should work.
