Game won't launch after installing mod

I figured I would try playing BGEE with a mod for the first time ever. So I downloaded Shades of the Sword Coast and installed it as per instructions. After it was installed, it was no longer possible to launch the game. Does anyone know what the explanation/solution could be?

    Ok. First did you bought BGEE from Steam or GoG ? Do you also have SoD expansion ?
    What do you mean by game won't launch ? You click on the Baldur.exe and what happens next ?

    Bought through Steam. No SoD. Yes on the final question.

    The mod is quite popular and was in a lot of installes etc. so this is a very wild guess, but if you installed it in a langauge different to English (i.e. with letters other than the basic latin alphabet), then if the text format is not correct(ly utf8), this might be caused by this.
    Not saying this is the case here, but it was the matter for a similar thing in one of my mods.

    Are you familiar with Near Infinity? It has a cool Check tool for "Encryption errors" I think it was. Have a look at your game and let NI run the tool to see whether something added wrongly formatted texts that might cause the problem.

    Just for completeness, please also post the content of your weidu.log.

    Nevermind. I got it to work. I realized you had to do the modmerge thing.

    Ah, I wasn't aware that could lead to this, too. Good to know!
