Where do you place the "override" folder? BG:EE Steam version...

Hey,

So... I'm trying to install some GUI Mods (don't recall the exact names) and apparently all I need to do is drop the downloaded files into the "override" folder. This folder did not exist, so I created one and moved the files into it, but that didn't seem to work so I'm a little confused at this point.

Right now the folder is at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\override

Is this the right location? If so, what might I being doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Additionally, just right click on BG:EE in your Steam Library, click Properties, go to the Local Files tab and then click Browse Local Files. It should open up the BG:EE installation folder.

    That's where your \override directory is created.

    Installing any mods to Android that use WeiDU, would require you to install the mod on a PC, then transfer the files to the Android device.

    Any mods that add text to the game, such as new NPC banter, item descriptions, etc., won't work for Android because of the dialog.tlk file not being able to be edited on an Android device.

    Thus, item mods, quest mods or NPC mods would not work.

    "So any mod using override files will work just dandy there; if it requires a change to the tlk file I'm afraid you're out of luck, at least for the moment."

    Check this thread for reference regarding your Android device.

    Travel safe, brave warrior @Xaros, and may you always find adventure, fortune and fame in your travels.

    Yup.

    You can download the three files that you'd dump into your \Override folder in this link.

    I have posted my issue in a new thread.
