solution for keeping bg1 npc in sod and so on

[Guest Lotarien]

Hello, i recently stated playing BG EET and its awesome, but when i just finished First part and started SOD and after catacombs i realised that my 2 npc are gone (Yeslick and Imoen and i got 4 custom pc).  I couldnt find proper answer how to keep them without additional mod etc. Maybe its breaking game logic, but you can use eekeeper to export whatever companion you have in prologue of SOD as .cre file (make you custom name for file) and than after going to palace you can use console command to create this creature. It can be recruited normally since we can speak to it, but u can use CTRL+Q option to add any creature pointed by mouse to party and than it works perfectly  Enjoy keeping your characters all the way to ToB ;)
