Need help installing a mod

Hi all,

I am not sure what I can be doing wrong with installing this mod. I found a mod that seems to be compatible with BG EE I would like to try and downloaded it (Scales of Balance). The instructions seem simple enough:

To install, simply extract the contents of the mod into your game folder. If properly extracted, you should have a folder called "SoB," a file called "weidu," and the "WeiDU Mac Launcher" in your BG2 directory. To install, simply double-click the WeiDU Launcher, choose Scales of Balance from the list, and follow the instructions on screen.

I have a Mac OS X and BG EE and BG 2 EE installed.

I have extracted the contents to my BG EE folder which is Documents\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition
This gave me a scales_of_balance folder and WEIDU Mac Launcher plus some other files.
I doubled-clicked the Mac WEIDU Launcher
I choose "scales_of_balance"
I receive the following error

Please run this program in your Infinity Engine game directory.
FATAL ERROR: Failure("Not a game directory")
Press ENTER to exit.

The most obvious thought is I placed it in the wrong directory, but in all honesty, I have no idea what other directory it could be.

Would someone please help with what may be the problem and how to install this mod?

    Check this topic for help. There is a section on installing mods under BG:EE and BG2:EE. I hope it solves your problem.

    If anyone is looking for the ACTUAL CORRECT LOCATION to install mods from on Mac OS X - here is what worked for me on Mojave (10.14.5).

    Extract bg2fixpack contents to this folder:

    "/Applications/Baldur's Gate 2 Complete.app/Contents/Resources/game/Baldur's Gate 2.app/Contents/Resources/drive_c/GOG Games/Baldur's Gate 2"

    Buried DEEP in the windows content... NOT THE OSX GAME FOLDER. The WINDOWS game folder.

    This worked for Baldurs Gate 2 complete installed via GOG Galaxy.
