I don't know how to install mods. Could someone help me?

[ClassicalPianist999]

I'm not that skilled with technology, and I'd really appreciate it if someone could walk me through how to use Weidu for my Mac and install the Tweaks Anthology and P&P Celestials mods.

Hello, you can check out this guide.

Thanks so much.  One more question: how do I use ModMerge?  I have Siege of Dragonspear installed.

Modmerge is outdated. Use DLC Merger instead. It can be installed like a regular mod. Just make sure to install it as the very first mod, because every other mod depends on it.

Thanks so much!

You may also use the Mac Weidu Launcher for easier mod installation.

[ClassicalPianist999]

Thanks, I'll do that.  One more thing: do I need to install the mods into BGEE, SOD and BG2EE separately?  I just want to make sure I'm doing this right.

Mac Weidu Launcher isn't opening.  It gives me some message about translocation and then closes.  My Mac was made in 2019, and has a 1.4 GH Intel Quad Core processor, and Intel Iris Plus graphics card, 8 GB RAM, and Ventura 13.4.  Is this not enough for Mac Weidu?

BGEE and SoD are installed as one game. The DLC Merger ensures that both campaigns can be properly modded.

BG2EE is a separate game and has to be modded separately.

So I've gathered that you have to install the Weidu mod before any of the other mods.  Is that correct?

No, weidu is not a mod, but a way to distribute and install the mods. 

All mods already come with a weidu installer integrated.

Thanks so much.  I know nothing about this stuff, so this has been very helpful.

Well, in PC's the "weidu" is actually, the weidu.exe just renamed as setup-modname.exe, so that it takes orders from the setup-modname.tp2 file and a small library of self excecuting commands it was build from. The .tp2 -file, itself is a command-line input -file that gives orders to the ordered file(.exe).  On mac's, weidu just a mac compiled similar thing. .. basically.
