Importing BG1 Character into BG2 with Tweak Pack installed

[hfrank]

I apologize in advance if this has been covered somewhere in the 110 pages of general mod FAQ. My search did not find it.

 

Simple(??) question: How do I import my BG Sectrets of the Sword Coast character into BG 2 with the Tweak Pack installed? I spent a good bit of time setting up BG 2 (SoA / ToB) tweaks. I tried importing my exported CHAR1 file. The avatar and stats came up, but I couldn't finish the import procedure. I then created a Save folder in my BG 2 program fiile and copied 000 . . 02 FINAL SAVE into it and tried to import my character via importing the save. No go.

 

I really don't want to start a new character. BTW, if relevant, my BG1 was played with the BG 1 Gibberlings Tweak Pack installed.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

-Hmmm..?

 

Did you (in order):

 

1, Install BG2 + ToB

2, Run the patch

3, Start the game an make a save (quicksave)

4, quit the game (and take the disc out...?)

5, Install the fix pack

6, Install the tweak pack... ?

I'm manly asking about point number 3 ("Start the game and make a save") above, because you wrote:

 

I then created a Save folder in my BG 2 program fiile...

 

...That made me wonder, 'tis all.
