Overwhelmed by mods....

Mercilec

I feel like this title is the only thing i should write... but that would make me too lazy motherfucker (not that i am not...). So ill go into more detail regarding what kind of mods i want and where i can find ALL the existing mods for BG1EE and check them out. Also how to install them. How i know if mod X is compatible with mod Y.

1)I DONT care for more story! Character interactions, love affairs etc.

2)I am going to manage my party fully manually so i dont care for mods that provide auto part AI.

3)I would like better looking game (although this is very relevent).
I do like realistic look, i like colors! i like when the interface is distinguishable and easy to manage.

4)I love itemisation, so the more items the better. For example i would prefer to play this game like a H&S regarding itemisation, like, farming items for possible different builds? etc

5)More skills, more classes and classes' kits, more areas (good looking) are all welcome!

6)What else? dunno. Anything that makes the gameplay better i guess? Dunno guys.. You tell me what i miss that will enhance my experience (beside those i mentioned i dont care about )

EDIT:
I checked all mods on this site -> http://www.shsforums.net/files/category/113-bgee-mods/ and i took note of some. Are there more mods to look into?

I dont fully understand what this does: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/44476/tool-big-world-setup-bws-mod-manager-for-baldurs-gate-enhanced-edition-trilogy-for-windows
Does it combine BG1EE and BG2EE into one game? cause.... BG2EE has even more mods... omg..

Big World Setup (BWS) is a tool for managing and installing mods. It allows you to choose which mods and components you want, then it warns you of any conflicts so you can resolve them. Once you've chosen your setup, the tool will download the mods for you and install them in the correct order. It's not foolproof, but it comes close.

The mod that combines BG1EE and BG2EE is Enhanced Edition Trilogy (EET). BWS supports EET and will install it for you as well.

I think you may be out of luck there, for the most part. There are no graphic mods that I know of available for BG, besides some mods that change the way menus and whatnot look. However, "Portraits Portraits Everywhere" gives a portrait to every single NPC in the vanilla game. In my opinion, it makes the game look much better.

I tried BWS a couple of times but it always gets stuck at about 2/3 while installing SCS.

I heard BWS downloads fine with SCS unless youre adding a mod that is not compatible...about to go through this myself soon...

Mercilec

weird... cause the last time i used BWS i wanted to test exactly this, so i used only the mods that cannot be unselected and SCS but it still got stuck there.

I've heard that SCS specifically had problems with BWS, I think someone posted a hotfix maybe in the SCS thread? Sorry, I'm kinda working off third hand info.

oh, thank you.
