For those who aren't quite sure where their override folders should be, here's a nice nifty collection of all of the default locations for various devices. [Please note that many of these have merely been checked with Google and may be inaccurate]

Please note that you may have to substitute drive letters with your own.

The most likely locations are shown first.

Windows x64(64-bit) Steam: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\override"
Possible Alternative: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\Data\override"

Windows x86(32-bit) Steam "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\override"
Possible Alternative: "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\Data\override"

Windows x64(64-bit) Non-Steam "C:\Program Files (x86)\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\00766\override"
Possible Alternative 1: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\override"
Possible Alternative 2: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\Data\00766\override"
Possible Alternative 3: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\Data\override"

Windows x86(32-bit) Non-Steam "C:\Program Files\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\00766\override"
Possible Alternative 1: "C:\Program Files\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\override"
Possible Alternative 2: "C:\Program Files\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\Data\00766\override"
Possible Alternative 3: "C:\Program Files\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\Data\override"

Mac OS X appears to require additional work and isn't a simple matter of dropping mods in so I'll provide a link to what seems to be a great guide. It includes folder locations.

I'm unsure of how iPad modding works so if somebody could provide either folder locations or a link to another guide, I would appreciate it.

Also, more folder locations will be added as platform support is introduced.

    i think i read somewhere people got some simple mods to work by dropping them into the portraits folder as far as ipads went... maybe it was android pads i dunno just a heads up anyway could have been a joke but it is what i heard.

    How come I don't have an override folder? I've got the steam version and I have the following folders in the Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition folder:

    - _CommonRedist
    - data (I've checked this one. No override folder. Only lots of .bif files. And yes, I've checked the hidden folders box)
    - lang
    - Manuals
    - movies
    - music
    - scripts

    ???

    The override folder doesn't exist by default. Mods usually create that folder automatically if it doesn't yet exist.

    None of these locations worked for BG2:EE.

    In windows look for chitin.key and the override directory hangs off that location. If not there you will have to add it.

    What do you mean it "hangs off that location" I found chitin.key... do I open it or make the override folder there?
  • wolpakwolpak Member Posts: 390
    Yes, override folder goes in the same directory as the chitin.key.

    I'm playing BGII EE (Beamdog Version) using Windows 10 on a 64 bit PC and I found the chitin.key file in the following directory:

    C:\Users\(Your User Library Name)\Beamdog Library\00766

    There was not an Override folder there yet; I had to create one in the 00766 folder. Hopefully this will help others who have this question :)
